A lot of movies have great trailers, but Tron2 (TR2N) had both a great trailer and a great rollout. You could barely hear the sound in the Youtube fan upload because of all the excitement among the crowd.
But now you're telling me they are going to put a CG Flynn in the movie?
Why not just tell us that Peter Jackson was directing it or the lightcycles can travel in curved lines? Why would you do such a stupid thing as to ruin the illusion with a neither fully human nor fully computer generated character?
What was that? When has a CG character ever been introduced in a live action movie? I don't know, maybe you can tell us, Jar Jar.
I post opinions, rumors, announcements, and other "media-like" information right here on this very site in the form of comments. Unfortunately, because I don't submit stories, enter journals, or edit summaries (I don't think the/. editors do either) I am not considered a journalist.
Despite the time and effort I put into making sure my posts are factual, interesting, engaging, inciteful, and sometimes funny, my work (and I don't hesitate to call it work) here as a active contributor to the discussions surrounding each story is like dust in the wind, dude.
In these countries, many families struggle to put food on the table. By allowing their children who are able to work go to work in the factories, these families are better able to care for each other.
These are dangerous smelting factories or weapons manufacturing plants. They are electronics assembly lines. Lines which could essentially be replaced by robotics except that humans are cheaper. No kid is in danger of having his arm sliced off.
Enforcing Western-style regulations in Western countries makes sense, but in poor countries, having an extra set of hands working besides mom and dad is a real boon.
I can't believe I'm reading about Apple, of all companies, enforcing regulations like these overseas. It's more White Man's Burden than Protect The Children. But really, when you think about it, those two concepts are essentially the same, and it reeks of condescension.
Even small percentage increases in per-order purchases can result in huge gains across the board. Netflix, with a comparatively paltry prize amount, has bought themselves an incredibly efficient revenue generating piece of software.
I'm surprised to see that it still relies on popularity ranking as a cornerstone of the algorithm, but the other areas, especially heat diffusion and random walk are very cool and I'd love to read more about it.

I've got friends in public spaces where the squirrels jump and a dog chases those cats away. No blur afforded to their faces, and Google watches them tie their shoelaces.
There's the chance that the update may turn off any jailbreaks you've already got working. Worst case scenario is that it detects a jailbreak and bricks your car, like you said.
I'd stick with the white hat hackers who are providing jailbreaking instructions and forgo any manufacturer updates.
The worst that can happen is that your car becomes susceptible to the sudden acceleration "problem" and you lose control and wipe out a family or farmer's market. But you're inside the car so you'll be fine.
Plus, you'd have to go down to the dealership and they're going to ask you if you've had any problems and a huge rigmarole just to end up with essentially the same performance you've had all along.
I'd say every "Kernel line of code" is probably worth 10 lines of code in userspace, if not more.
Why? Because you think there's some fundamental difference between low level and high level code?
Papayas don't need to be ripe to be useful. Green papayas can be pickled and be just as tasty as sweet ripe ones. The only differentiation is the time of picking.
Why would you give bonus points to the early pickers just because you don't understand the pickling process?
Given a dozen developers and a hard spec, Linux could be developed in 8 to 9 months.
Now, the beauty of OSS is that are no hard specs, so that could indefinitely extend the development time, I suppose.
But to say that the OS couldn't be developed for under a million bucks is pretty fucking stupid. Maybe if they got their tongues off of Linus's dick for a minute or two they could refer to actual development schedules rather than make-believe schedules based on projects done by idiot students.

It makes no sense for him to be in the computer at all. He was undigitized back into the user world after the MCP was de-rezzed.
I'm not sure how that is supposed to be any consolation.
It's still fake Flynn.

But with a built-in camera, teabagging becomes a personal experience.
1. Have covered such events in the past.
2. Have a measurable audience somehow... be it web, print, TV, radio, etc.
Ah, the age old question..
How can I get a job without experience?
And how can I get experience without a job?

The guy was counterfeiting. That doesn't hurt anyone, especially if the copies are really good.
But you're right. He should have chewed.
Bars were outlawed. The only place that could serve drinks were private clubs.
So I paid a $7 "membership fee" at the door and had a great time. First drink was free!
To paraphrase the philosopher Ian Malcom, "Life finds a way".
In fact, wealth does "rain from the sky" in the form of humanitarian aid.
Of course, undercutting the local farmer put him out of business too, but he can get his free rice from the nice NGO people like everyone else.

Give me your clothes.
Is the test where we have to decide whether to install Java?
Because I pass.
Goddamnit.

Get your own, you fucking thieves.
No, I'm lying. I spent most of my free time at parties.
But hey, that's pretty cool, man!
Thanks Osama, you motherfucker. You too, Bush.
Did I say Thanks?
I meant Fuck You.
What a difference it is to hear about a government (or quasi-government) fight for the privacy rights of citizens.
Here in the Land of the Free, we've just about given up that right. Thanks Osama, you motherfucker. You too, Bush.

Ouch.
Most well-known P2P software is deliberately installed. And users are told where their shared files will be.
So how would P2P software be installed without consent? Perhaps spambots and other nefarious malware?
That makes this less "P2P-related" and more anti-spam. And that's a good thing, I think.

Too many risks and too few benefits. I'd say no.
Ah, you're clearly a user-space developer.
I wish I had some shiny pieces of glass to distract you.
