According to IMDB, the extended Mongo stuff was not in the original release; it is available on the DVD. Also, supposedly an early theatrical version had Cleavon Little saying "Excuse me, ma'am, you're nibbling on my elbow" after Madeline Kahn said, "It's twue, it's twue!"
I've been using OO Impress for the past few days now, and I'm perfectly satisfied with its performance. C++ may be bloated as a language, but C++ compilers produce mighty fast code. (Isn't most of Microsoft's stuff written in that same C++?) In my experience, OO may need some tuning, but maybe not to handle the relatively casual user. (On the other hand, Word is often painfully slow at loading images within DOC files, and could definitely use some performance tweaking.)
Executive pay is set by shareholders; the bosses themselves have no say in the matter.
Executive pay is set by the board, where board members tend to be executives in other companies. It's a big circle-jerk where they all raise each other's compensation to outrageous amounts. Occasionally a big shareholder will cry foul, but generally the perks are hidden in employment contracts that are not audited by the shareholders. Google "fortune magazine executive pay" for Fortune magazine's take on it all.
In the 90's, CEO compensation rose 535%. The average salary rose 32%.
Wow. Our timesheet software not only has unique passwords, it forces you to change it every three months. So I've had to start writing mine down, not sure that does much for security...
Nonsense. Remember those dime a minute Sprint ads? Most of us now pay much less. Phone service is a lot cheaper than it was under Ma Bell. There's no reason to believe the same thing wouldn't happen to internet access.
The Registry had some practical benefits, I think, but could have been handled in a better way. As one other use suggested, a virtual registry. It appears as one editable object for use with a reasonable GUI tool, although the actual data is a number of distinct XML encoded files. That way it's easy to copy, to edit, and with OS support, easy for user apps to create, read, and write.
The only thing that happens to pacifists is they end up getting killed by those who are realists.
Yeah, I heard about this guy, talked about loving your neighbor as yourself, turning the other cheek, that kind of stuff. Some other guys strung him up for it. I doubt you guys have ever heard of him.
We are truly free, then. You're free to do whatever you want, and I'm free to form a group of people who will imprison you or execute for doing so. Welcome to a perfect world!
When Fezzig and Inigo take Wesley to Miracle Max, Max says that he's not completely dead. If he was completely dead, there's only one thing to do: start going through his pockets for loose change.
Read your own claim and quote. You claimed "He favored extermination." Cultural assimilation by force is offensive, but it is not extermination. Jefferson was a cultural elitist, not an extreme racist.
I'll grant you that Jefferson was hypocritical, talking about equality but not living it. He could have freed his slaves and lived a comfortable life, but he didn't because he wanted his lifestyle of French wines, Monticello, etc. The truth is uncomplimentary enough -- why distort it?
I've been on the internet for twenty years, so I don't use this newfangled chat stuff.:-) I got an iCal event to trigger, and it used about 20% of CPU doing bouncing and a ringing clock on a 1.8 Ghz G5.
If you bother to observe the commandline util "top" (or Activity Viewer or whatever) while that icon is bouncing, you will see a distressingly high use of CPU.
Couldn't that have something to do with it busily loading a program?
I also love the bouncing icons when starting an app in Mac OS X, which at first I thought was silly eye candy. In contrast on XP, my impatient 8-year-old often has a half-dozen firefox windows when it finally opens, because she clicked the firefox desktop icon and didn't see any response (and again, and again...)
The broadcast flap reminds me a bit of Clinton's attempt to push manditory V-Chip use back in the 90's.
I think you must have the Clipper chip and V-chip confused. Clinton et al wanted the V-chip included in every TV; this chip gave people the *option* to make use of it. My TVs have them, sitting unutilized. I don't remember much of a stink about including a user-optional tech.
The Clipper chip for encryption, on the other hand -- with mandatory gov't backdoors -- that was shouted down.
Computer programs are defined as being statements or instructions used directly or indirectly with a computer to produce a certain result. Thus, I think you'd have a hard time saying that mere data is a program, even though there is no real good line between data and software.
Note, however, that almost every DVD ever produced has menus that are instructions used by the computer control of the DVD player, and thus arguably fall under this definition. Music CDs, however, are generally pure data.
Are we going to have + and - recordables for each of these standards?
Probably not, the BluRay/HD DVD split probably replaced it. This new Chinese standard sounds like it's written on HD DVDs, but in a different format. Thus it would be likely you could get a player that plays both. Even more interesting, they might not pay to license the western HD DVD standard, but have upgradable firmware players that some HD DVDJon just happens to have made an upgrade for with code to handle U.S. discs.

That would be Marcus Aurelius...
Not anymore, we've revised it. Please throw away your old history books.
We've renamed Commodus too, too many jokes. His new name is Urinalus.

Can you combine the two and patent a blue gene?
I say we take off, and nuke these guys from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

It's because, due to DRM reasons, the software can only be installed on Western Digital Caviar drives.

Yes, but this is /. For most of us, beavers seem mythical.
I don't get it.

No, in that case, the lawyers win.

Hey, they act like they have a bottomless pit of money...
