The second and third were spoon fed entertainment. Jesus Christ, who didn't see Neo as Jesus Christ? The first wasn't particularly deep, but it hinted at interesting and exciting cinema. The Wachowski Siblings squandered two great opportunities to follow up on the first.
Some of us read slashdot to avoid thinking about the Cantor set, you insensitive clod. (stupid zero dimensional compact complete topological spaces...)
Actually, the opposite is true -- they are intertwined. Observations must be interpreted and interpretation cannot escape one's underlying worldview. And every worldview is built on premises that must be taken on faith (just as the axioms in geometry are taken on faith).
The axioms of geometry aren't taken on faith. They fix a geometry. If you change one of the axioms, you end up with a different geometry.
Your views regarding interpretation are also flawed. Please proceed to your nearest bookstore's Wittgenstein section.
You'd already be in an uncomfortable position. You're technically legally obligated to report the crime, or you'd be considered an accessory. It usually doesn't work that way -- no one's going to arrest you for smelling marijuana and not calling the cops, for instance -- but it could. You're opening yourself up to a huge legal liability, specifically because of the severity of the crime.
This is actually a long, convoluted story. The first brewery to market Budwieser was actually a Czech brewery. The German name for the city it's made is is Budweis, and Budweiser is the adjectival form. They've been making the beer since 1295 or so, and had a royal charter to do so since then.
Anyway, Anheuser-Busch "imported" the recipe. Which is to say, they cloned the beer. Indeed, Miller and Schlitz made Budweisers -- until Miller was sued by Anheuser-Busch. Miller argued that Budweiser couldn't be a trademarked term because it is a style of beer. They lost, in the US anyway.
There's been strong animosity since. Google up "Anheuser-Busch Miller lawsuit" and you'll find thousands of hits (which unfortunately makes finding references difficult). In any event, they do direct comparisons because they both have huge legal departments specifically for dealing with the other company.
Perl, which has a reasonably decent syntax, but because of the TIMTOWTDI philosophy, it's actually, IMHO, an ill-suited introductory programming language.
Fair enough. Personally, I think Perl would be a great introductory language. Sure, TIMTOWTDI when you write Perl. But you don't have to teach students the whole language. You can teach them a nice subset to illustrate how the fundamental algorithms work. And you can do it without introducing much black magic. Indeed, a C-like fragment of Perl would be a better C than C.
iTunes uses daap to stream music. Bonjour is used as a discovery service.
If you're handy with Linux, try GetItTogether. Or just google up daap client. You'll want the mDNS suite. It is an open source implementation of Bonjour.
Yes, the change was very small, just like the proposed change (which happens to be a change back to the old definition). No conditional logic would be needed. Why the fuck do you think it would be?
Because the definiendum changes depending on the time. That's why. The change doesn't happen to be a change back to "the old definition," but a change to a system where the calendar defines the second. We currently use a system where seconds and the calendar are only related through the use of leap seconds.
The scientific community is obviously not going to use such a loosely defined unit, so now there are two competing notions of a second. This is bad.

And why, pray tell, did you include Guevarra in your little list? (Hint: Read your own link)
When did Microsoft announce that they were using the Cell? I thought they were using another, distinct PowerPC processor.
Yes, he lives up to his namesake.
Obviously, proceeding by induction, three and four dimensional arrays.
Why do I suspect that IHBT?
It wasn't. It was carried by its lesbianism.

Well, I would be downloading movies five times faster.
Yes. The second one is a mountain. I believe the third one is the same mountain.
tree, mountain, mountain.
No. As far as I can see, OSU's program is just run by enthusiastic faculty. The state government is interested because of constant budget shortfalls.
No such assumption is made. Learn a little.

But... is it powered by urine?
Good luck. I hope you out grow it.

You don't need proof. You've presented evidence. It falls to the opponent to discredit your evidence.
Which is why you don't open the sealed envelope until you're presenting evidence.
