So says your religious text (the same one that calls him a god). The actual non-religious history says that 1st century carpenters from Galilee were an almost exclusively illiterate and uneducated crowd. But maybe his god powers gave him the innate ability to read and write. I'm sure he could fly and had x-ray vision as well.
Do you expect a real education in a state where almost everyone believes the state was founded by fucking angels visiting con men pedophiles in caves?
And before all you Christians have a good laugh at these backwards Mormons, keep in mind that *you* dipshits believe that a first-century illiterate peasant was the "Son of God" (as evidenced somehow by the fact that a backwoods Roman prefect was able to crucify this "god"). So don't laugh too hard.
The whalers only went there because they spotted that one whale on the surface. Then it turned out it was just one whale put there by the Mexicans hundreds of years earlier as part of some nascent moon program or something.
No, I would say it's much more likely to produce code that looks and works differently in every browser (and browser version). It's going to be just like HTML--with developers having to test the code in every different browser and working extra hours to create code that at least looks passable in each browser type and version. Hello headaches.
To me it would just be a sad reminder of how little NASA has advanced since Star Trek was on the air. Here I am sitting in LEO on a space shuttle less advanced and capable than the rocket that took us to the moon in 1969, and I got an aging William Shatner in my ear reminding me that none of my childhood dreams were ever realized.
What's even more disturbing is that the FAA is currently looking to move away from traditional radar and even human air traffic controllers, as part of their "NextGen" system. GPS is just fine as long as there is a redundancy in the system. But the idea of abandoning radar as if GPS were a time-tested system is a little scary.
I've already pitched it. I fully expect a greenlight any day now. Then I'll just have to convince Justin Bieber's little brother to take the part, and we're good to go.
It would be an interesting debate to have on what is the WORST part of The Phantom Menace. Jar Jar? That little kid who couldn't act and was thrown into laughably implausible situations (like a bad straight-to-DVD Disney movie where NASCAR lets an 8-year old join the circuit just because the movie's called "The NASCAR Kid")? The introduction of Mitaclorians, which pretty much undermined everything Yoda taught Luke in Empire? The creepy child molester vibe Queen Amadalia was giving off talking to the aforementioned non-acting little kid?
I'm going to go with the fact that they brought Ewan McGregor, Liam Neeson, and Samuel Jackson into this godawful shitfest--actual talented actors with long resumes of much better films. It was like watching your favorite aunt get raped for 2 hours. No amount of overpriced popcorn could make that any better.
But now I get to see her raped in 3D, and pay twice as much for the privilege. Look Aunt Wanda, we get to keep the glasses! Awesome.
They've learned well from their counterparts on Wall Street. But to reach the final level, they will need to find a way to not only not get caught, but to get the government to actually give them money for their thefts.
Hush, don't tell the hipsters. They still think that using Apple is a symbol of individuality, creativity, and rebellion. Just look at how many douchebags you can find on YouTube looking into their MacBook cameras ranting about the evils of capitalism.
I was talking about within the studio system. Of course, anyone can shoot a movie on his prosumer Canon and edit it at home. But that isn't going to get him distribution, promotion, or recognition (especially if he shoots it non-union).
Well, I was being facetious, but the actual more obvious influence is the Arthurian legend. Chosen one spirited away by a wizard to adopted parents, old wizard watches him from afar and eventually reveals himself when he is ready to assume his destiny. There's even an excalibur that his father left for him in the form a lightsaber.
There should be some formula. For every 1,000,000 articles produced about something that's theoretically possible, 1 results in an actual practical application.
"Second Variety" is still my personal favorite. And it's been adapted both directly (Screamers) and indirectly (Terminator and the Battlestar Galactica remake, which both borrowed pretty liberally).
"Get Low" is a period piece with prominent leads. Yes, there are certainly a lot cheaper movies out there. But it's not realistic to think you're going to make a major release for under about the $1 million mark. Movies like Primer, Clerks, etc. usually are only able to get away with such low budgets because everyone on the film works for free or for a share in any profits (i.e. not counting any labor costs of cast and crew as part of the production) and they have relatively simple locations (i.e. not a period piece, shot at the director's brother-in-law's office or guerrilla style).
Even John Sayles usually tries to secure at least $5 million, and he can stretch a dollar about as good as anyone (he apprenticed under Roger Corman, after all).

No, headaches for developers just produce delays, errors, and frustration.
And these days the next step after hypothesis is to issue a press release touting your amazing discovery.

Truly, he's as wise as he is unselfish.
No, I like Samuel Jackson way better than her. She wasn't even in Pulp Fiction.

I reject conformity by dressing like all the other non-conformists.

They *did* kick in money. Both agreed to work for a fraction of their normal salaries.

If you think it makes *you* sick, imagine how it makes Sean Connery feel--knowing that it's forever going to be on his IMDB entry.

Yeah, but they were *3D* smurfs!
This is Wisconsin. We just got grunge last year.
