Seeing the subject, that a lawyer was going to answer questions, I fully expected to see a lot of non-answering beating-around-the-bush-type answers.
And I wasn't disappointed at all.
No lawyer is going to give you a definitive answer, and that's half the problem. The other half is no Judge wants piss off the rich, they want to piss ON the poor which can't defend themselves.
It's great to see that someone is finally doing it right!
The key to success is to make it extremely easy for your customers to do business with you. Get 'em in, get what they need, and check 'em out. Happy customers = high profits.
I am very impatient when it comes to poor customer service. I have walked across the street to another electronics store when some stupid clerk said "Uh, only one guy has the key to the hard drive cabinet, and he's not around right now."
You're right. I tend to expect 100% results in things. Sure, there are exceptions, and I suppose this software could be useful for something. But if I want some single-minded "opinion" of how something might be, I'll watch the stupid critics spout their opinion.
Hey moron, "pre production"?
How on earth would anyone know what the special effects are going to be like? If they haven't been "produced"? Or, when the other movies released at the same time?
Think ahead. I realize it might hurt, but it would probably help you from looking like an idiot.
Also, have you heard of pre screening? It's where people (often those who frequent IMDB) get to watch a movie before it gets out to the general public.
The finished product is often very different than that of "pre-production".
I'll leave you alone though, it's like teasing a roach... not much fun.
rating by censors (e.g. G, PG, R)
strength of the cast
genre
competition from other films at the time of release
special effects
whether it is a sequel
and the number of theaters in which it will show."
It's ridiculous to expect software to predict entertainment. From the above, success can only be even remotely predicted by "the number of theaters in which it will show". And possibly the "strength of the cast".
Mainly I think the trailers shoved down our throat with only the best parts of the movie could help success.
I highly doubt this software would have predicted the success of The Blair Witch Project. Zero special effects, zero strength of the cast, zero budget.
Lotus Notes has something where you can't forward, reply, or print an e-mail. I just hit print screen and ran it around the office. The guy (who was supposedly a Lotus Notes expert) was very puzzled at how I got his e-mail printed.
It will be very good for people who don't know what the PRINT SCREEN key is. Like those executives that are talked about in the article.
I have been looking for a good networkable small multi-user calendar.
The best I could find is called Active Desktop Calendar. http://www.xemico.com/adc/index.html
If anyone has a better suggestion I would be GREATLY appreciative!
All I need is for a few people to be able to schedule each other's calendars. I don't want web-based as I want to keep it as simple as possible.
Thanks!

You're right. I misstated that.
No Judge wants to piss off the rich because that's who gave them money for their campaigns and advertising to get elected in the first place.
They don't care about the poor, because that would mean pissing off the rich, which is stated in the previous sentence.

I'm glad you wrote this. I too turned on my DirecTV and saw the stupid CD USA show. It looks like a bunch of teenie boppers playing bad music.
Anyways, I went back (as my wonderful Tivo does) to the previous days and I saw that it was on Saturday, but not Friday. CD USA was on Friday.
And yes, I appreciate a story telling me to watch something a day before the story came out as well.
Hmmm... If only Best Buy sold software that would remove all data... HEY! THEY DO!

See ya... taking my business elsewhere then.
