I haven't seen it yet, but what's wrong with the director ? Seemingly, he added more gore, but removed the line
"I want more life, FUCKER"
?! For me, it was a significant line, and it was working well in the movie. This was
the point in the movie where the roles of master and slave between Tyrell and Roy were
reversed. It was Roy now who was in control. If you replace "fucker" with respectful "father",
you lose that, you'll get a respectful 'son'.
I've seen both the international/theatrical lasedirsk version and the Director's Cut, and
I liked the Director's cut more (no voiceovers, unicorn). But this time I might pass on it.
If I get a chance to see it in a theater, I will; but for DVD I'll stick to 1992 version.
I've been interested in SAGE for a while, but never heard about the Firefox plugin. Heck, world does not revolve around Firefox (besides, I use Opera for a number of reasons, let's not get into that). If there's so much freaking ambiguity that the wrold cannot tolerate (more than Apple Inc. vs Apple Music vs. Apple Bank vs. Apple Younameit), you should understand that the folks on Sage Math have done quite a bit more work on the package, and probably shouldn't ditch a name that has been known. If you never heard of it- probably you never needed to use Mathematica or the like anyway.
I can see a day where people will scratch their heads and wonder why Hormel name a product after junk mail
Actually, coming from Ukraine, I was quite amused to see SPAM on the shelves at the stores. Of course, I kind of knew the origin of the term, but somehow I thought that SPAM-the-product was long extinct. Actually, the only reason I bought a can of SPAM once was just that - that act of "buying spam". I really felt amazed that a popular product could be "named after junk email" =)
The next thing that I'd buy in that spirit would probably be a "1337" T-Sirt, signifying Petrarca's visit to Rome in 1337. Or maybe YouTube plumbing kits, MicroSoft small pillows, maybe a Digg shovel (given that these products come into existence some day)
On an unrelated note, my father seems to actually to like spam-like products. I'll defintitely buy him SPAM some day. Then I would be able to make stupid-cheesy jokes, like "My dad doesn't have any spam, he ate it all yesterday" etc.
I bet this thing won't suppport DJVU, the best format for eBooks tha weren't natively typest into PDF.
As an aside note, I'm 20, and I have a bunch of books and a bunch of eBooks, and I think that each kind is better for its purpose. For instance, software documentation requires fast lookups, and I'm using it while doing things on a computer anyway, so it better be in electronic format. On the other hand, 'real' books IMHO are more comfortable to read, never require batteries, and so far DPI resolution of print is biggern than the one of the screen.
I think it's a stupid thing to say that one format is better than other, especially when you can have both and convert freely. I frequently print out sections of scanned books, so that I don't have to carry the whole book, but have the comfort of paper (thus going the full circle: print-scan-print). I hope that in the future every book will come with a CD containing it; and you already can print out your ebooks for not-that-much (Kinkos/laser printer/inket with 3rd party $2 cartridges). So let's stop the zealotry war, and start celebrating the spread of both formats =)
Hell yeah ! My grandma's been using XP on a $150 GQ PC from fry (no monitor included). Yeah, it was quite slow, but adding a gig of ram made it fly. Does all the intertubes + skype video, and they don't seem to need much more.
I don't know what you're talking about. Most of the times I use both Yandex and Google for searches in russian, and Yandex have been providing better results consistently over the last years. Again, Google's abilities to process russian texts are surprisingly miniscule (surprise comes from the fact that Sergey Brin is russian, could've known better).
GPS on trucks IMHO is a bit different, because the companies try to lock it up themeselves (so that their drivers don't go anywhere but the destination etc., saving the copmany money).
Ever heard of Soldat ? That game is played hugely. Not to mention a bunch of games made in Flash (see Newgrounds). Heck, last game I've played was Portal - the 2D port of it, to be precise. 2D games are really huge in the casual gaming market too.
Thanks a lot for accusing me of a blatant lie. Never mind that I have never been a huge supporter of OSS, use Opera as a main browser and Windows as my main OS. The worst thing is, I cannot counter your point with anything. Well, if it helps you - it IS true. Now should I put out a video on youtube to "prove" it, or what ?
I actually like the current UI as it is. Actually, even my (quite low-tech) father found it to be more intuitive and less scary than Adobe Photoshop CS2's UI when he saw them both for the first time.
Sending DMCA takedown to Cory Doctorow is like hitting a stone with a knife. Let's watch the clash =)
(well, they actually sent it to Scribd, but that doesn't change the point)
NYC cabbies suck, period. Give them a destination in Brooklyn and watch them get lost if it is not Ocean Parkway. I've had numerous cases where cabbie doesn't know where he's going, tries to convince you that he's brought you to the place you've asked (even though it's not nearly the case!) and only if you argue with him ASKS THE LOCALS (!) how to ge to the destination (if you don't happen to know how the hell to get out of the place he's brought you to); goes extra milage (because of incompetence) AND asks for a tip ! Next time I'm taking a cabbie, I'm giving them a GoogleMaps printout, unless they install this system.
Oh yes they are. They only really go after corporate piracy (and not that hard either). I have yet to hear about a home user being 'busted' with bootleg Windoze. Moreover, with their activation scheme it's not that hard to know who's pirating; probably they do know and do nothing about it. The main reason is that when someone who's been bootlegging buys a new computer, that computer will be preloaded with Windoze. And his computer at work will likely be a Windoze PC too, just because most people know how to work in it. etc.
That's an old drug-dealer strategy - the first time is for free, then they come to you with money.
Basically:
1. Let users pirate Windoze
2. Get them hooked on the OS/Platform-dependent software/MSOffice/IE
3. ???
4. Profit !
Well, surprisingly, he's right. A lot of young people nowadays listen to 'old' music. The overall quality of the music seems to have decreased during the last decade; I remember enjoying new music in the 90's and not enjoying it now (I'm 20 now). And yeah, I have been ripping 33's into MP3's in the ole days, just because I liked them so much.
Did anyone consider that $500M in software in China is actually worth $5M or less, since it's being sold on black market dollar-a-piece anyway ? Same applies to "lost revenue". Reminds me of RIAA tactics of estimating "losses".
I was just about to ask if I'm the only one who read Uberspace Drive (which is sorta like Warp Drive, only cooler), but in spite of Slashdot instinct, I searched the thread first =) Pleeeeeeeeeasse mod parent up =)

Hear that ? That's sensitive information leaking.
Of course there is need for new TLD's. Not stupid ones like .asia though, more like .xxx and .porn
Well, sorry for the rant =)

Please join my Fuck Fuck Fuck Islam group ! PS: There should also be the FTF Islam group, where FTF stands for Fuck The FTF
...so what ?

Does it mean that Dateline thinks security specialists that deal with Intertubes = online predators ?
Aaa ! Something is going wrong =)
In Russia, nearly every profession has an appreciation day =)
