Nope. The internet did not exist until Al Gore invented it in 1992. Before that, all computers were autonomous and did not communicate with each other at all.
It's a little late to be just figuring out that movies that rely too much on CG are a huge yawn. "The Matrix" was interesting, because it had an interesting story, but subsequent movies were just characters jumping from one fast-moving object to another fast-moving object.
In a similar category are all the martial arts films where characters defy the laws of physics with every move. (-_-)zzzZZZ.
What I want to know is, how is this different than highlighting searched words in word processors and other types of editors? This is something that has been around since computers were the size of deep freezers.
There's the rub. The rates won't be fair. At least not in a neighborhood like mine where the cable company has a monopoly. The rates aren't fair already.
Though well-intentioned, the CRO report is meaningless. I've used four different carriers in the last 12 years. Saying that one is better than another is like saying one of Satan's minions doesn't stick you with the pitchfork as much as another of Satan's minions.
Not quite the same thing. The objection to DRM is that it precludes a consumer, who purchased some sort of media, from copying it for their own personal purposes. There are very few (if any) people who would contend that media should be allowed to be copied and re-sold -- which is what Judith Griggs at Cooks Source has done.
Now, if Monica Gaudio were to insist that Judith Griggs had no right to print her (Gaudio's) article for Grigg's personal use, or even that Judith Griggs had no right to quote part of that article, then I would call Monica Gaudio a "dirty bastard".
What Judith Griggs should have done was contact Monica Gaudio and ask her to use her piece on the history of apple pie in Cooks Source magazine. Alternatively, Griggs could have written her own article, citing Gaudio as a source. It's really very simple.
What Griggs did was just stupid. She had an opportunity to interview Gaudio, talk about her original research, and write a good article about the history of apple pie, along with antique recipes. That's good journalism.
Wow. This Judith Griggs (who edits Cooks Source magazine) is REALLY in the wrong business. The word is copyright, Judith. As in the author has the right to determine who may copy their work. Not copywrite.
Judith Griggs is not qualified to edit her own letters, let alone a magazine.
Early exploration of North American by Europeans did not begin with people "boldly going" across the ocean with no expectation of returning. The early explorers always came back. Though we have no record of it, I imagine the early aboriginal people who crossed the land bridge from Asia (or sailed, or kayaked, or whatever) probably did the same thing. There are going to have to be at least a couple of manned round-trip missions to Mars.
The biggest drawback I can see to having a home built out of aircraft aluminum is the corrosion issue. Contrary to what many people think aluminum does corrode. It is not as active a metal as steel, but it DOES corrode.
If you take aluminum and fasten it to other structures with dissimilar metals you are liable to have a major corrosion problem on your hands. I'm thinking Malibu would have a more electrolytic atmosphere (being near the ocean) and so the problem would be compounded. Perhaps some sort of anodic protection could be put in place during construction.
Anyway, I'm just wondering if anyone is thinking about the potential corrosion problem.
I read TFA and I still don't get it. What is the malicious coder's motivation? I mean, how does he make money knowing that you are friends with x number of other people? Does he sell it to marketers? Does he blackmail you because you have a mistress or something?
What I'm saying is, identity theft, credit card theft, and the like are easy to understand, because there is money to be made by doing it. How does one make money by knowing that Bob is friends with Susan, Bill, and Tracy?

...more awesomely awesome millennial CGI...
That's too bad. I was hoping it might have an awesomely awesome plot.
Well, my interpretation of The Expendables is that it is a post-modern satire. I think they are actually poking fun at those kinds of movies.

I remember reading an ACM journal article back in 1984 or '85 about the possibility of doing this. And now, 25 years later, here we are.
Does it have On Star?

...until they censor your website. Wikileaks is not the only one with a problem.
All I know is I'm in love with the new T-Mobile Spokesmodel and I'm buying whatever she tells me to.
Of course you might also remember him from The Forbidden Planet, which is classic sci-fi by any measure.
It is Forbidden Planet . There is no "The" in front of it.
...high-speed tail...
I want some of that.

I've deliberately omitted .NET — I have no desire to do the Microsoft languages.
I am no huge fan of Microsoft. Nevertheless, I think this is a foolish statement. You should not omit any platform or language from your repertoire.
Wow, "The Tick" was a documentary?
There is a theory that young men break up with their girlfriends right before Christmas because they want to avoid having to buy a gift.
I wonder who will buy the patent for the tool that generates code that confuses feet with meters?

...one of the only...
Please remove this phrase from your lexicon. It is either "...one of only n..." or just "only". "One of the only" makes no sense.
All other issues aside, I wonder how noisy these gas turbine engines are.
I'm sorry to have giggled at this story. But it's like a Robot Chicken episode come to life. Can't help it.
