So the liberal arts background bothers you, and yet you think the highly specialized technical degree doesn't make sense. Which do you want? You can't have it both ways, dude.
Also, in the interest of well-roundedness: you probably meant to type "A lot," "versatile," "electromagnetism," "propagate," and "Sprint's."
Fuck no. You're absolutely right. Try this one on for size:
"I'm going to declare my own country as soon as I get together that mercenary army I've been wanting. Then I'm going to terrorize the populace into submission and rule with an iron fist, and the trains will
always run on time. Because train operators who come in late will be shot. As will anyone else who gets in my way by, e.g., disseminating information indicating that other ways of life are possible.
"Then you'll see what it's like when a country is run really effectively."
Huck, you're a feckless coward and an apologist for totalitarianism, and it embarrasses me to be sharing a planet with you. If and when you figure out that "everybody needs to be like America" and "government repression is inherently evil" are distinct concepts, get back to me.
And I bet you're seeing a lot of Saabs and Volvos and thinking about how those manufacturers are now owned respectively by GM and Ford. Now that's funny.
And he didn't even direct that one! Irvin Kershner did. Let's also not forget that Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan co-wrote. IMO that's probably why it's so much better than any of the other ones.
I can't help noticing that you haven't provided a single citation from any law dictionary or constitutional law text book, let alone an actual federal court decision.
So far your arguments, replete with phrases such as "inherently some what [sic] non-private," appear to be backed by "because I say so." Can you help us out here?
Planck time is "the time it would take a photon travelling at the speed of light to across a distance equal to the Planck length. This is the 'quantum of time', the smallest measurement of time that has any meaning, and is equal to 10^-43 seconds."
24 hours therefore contains approximately 9 x 10^47 Planck units of time.
Assuming the 1.3 megapixel business is in fact fluff, and that each image only contains about 300K (24-bit color) pixels, this camera should have a storage capacity of 1.8 x 10^53 bytes--or, more conveniently, 1.8 x 10^29 yottabytes--if Logitech is to be sure of making good on their claim.
When I was hired by my current employer, my contract basically stated that anything I do on their time is theirs.
As is SOP in most of the United States. Note that the enforceability of these clauses has been found to be limited.
In fact, here in California, there's a highly entertaining addendum (Exhibit A or B on many employment agreements) that your employer is required to provide, notifying you that a bunch of the IP-ownership-related stuff in the preceding pages won't stand up in court and is therefore basically meaningless. It's one of the things I like about working here.
(Disclaimer: If you thought I was a lawyer, boy, are you in for a surprise.)
In fact, many of us love you so much that we rented movies we suspected would be extremely bad, solely because you were in them.
And though our suspicions were confirmed, yea, though we cringed and groaned and hooted and were just generally nonplussed by much of what we saw, still...still....
"Look, there's Bruce!"
We are the people who spotted you in Fargo. But I digress.
If you can answer honestly, and without fear of legal action by directors or producers:
What was, in your estimation, the worst movie in which you ever had a significant role?
(My personal shortlist: Moontrap, Mindwarp, and Maniac Cop 2.)

Yes, well, for that you'll have to wait for them to figure out a way around the superultramegahyperparamagnetic limit.
And if it approaches France they'll be on vacation. (Août-ga!)
I have a laptop that's perfectly functional but that I'm not using anymore....I'm really tempted to try this.
I think it's because this is a Red-Headed Stepchild story that got posted to dev.s.o but never made it to the front page.
...so they can start spending their time constructing a microwave relay connection on top of the building or in their office window.

Maybe it's just an error-diffusing way to reduce your 24-bit beard to 8 bits of stubble.
And a granddaughter in the Senate, no?

I am not an atheistic libertarian!
I'm a libertarian atheist. Geez.
That's awesome; thanks for posting. Now I can see for myself what a subliterate moron he is.
Arigato.
Clearly an RFC is needed here:
"Retro-Temporal Automated User Agent Exclusion Protocol"
I'll try to put a draft together by April 1.
Well, here's a conservative estimate.

They can show world governments that a mission to Mars has already taken place.
If anyone cares, I've created a t-shirt that I'm selling (at cost) via CafePress:

Comfy and provocative.
Check it out.

Hey Taco, can we replace JonKatz with Cory?
This does not constitute a valid proof by induction. :)
Many people love you, Bruce.

Exactly. ATI is implementing a valuable maxim: "The smack in the brick you give the guy to test is always better than the rest of the shipment."
