Great news if you live in a part of the world where netflix is available. Attention/. editors, the tubes are global and so are your readers.
A. The US is not small. B. We get stories about your lovely CCTV system. C. It's only THIS year that the US will have parity with the UK when airing Doctor Who.
I share her sentiment. I'm especially looking forward to Deep Space Nine being available - we already own TOS, so having it on Netflix is of less importance to us.
It's a good day for nerd-dom.
If you haven't seen DS9 yet, don't. It's by far the worst Star Trek series. And trust me, I've seen them all.
How can we trust you? Your taste in Trek is abysmal.
Threatening politicians gets you shipped to gitmo.
Threatening normal, everyday citizens? Police care less because their ticket quotas are more important.
That's possible, but I'd be willing to bet that public figures, on average, have a lot more people wanting to harm them than the normal everyday dudes.
My vote would have been for Alice. She's the top engineer in her company, she's developed patents that earned her company 2 billion dollars in revenue, and her fist-of-death is legendary. All this after she overcame the handicap of being a woman....
I'm sorry, but I like Linux and hate Microsoft, yet I still can't stomach this marketing'esque spew of BS. If Microsoft said the reverse of this this topic would hit 500+ comments.
Comments: 500. And yet people still talk of slashdot groupthink.
Yep, I was wrong about the number of comments.
The Slashdot Groupthink, however, is real. You can tell because nobody asks questions, they only make statements.
"With the one glaring exception of the desktop computer, Linux has outpaced Microsoft in nearly every market, including server-side computing and mobile, Zemlin claims. 'I think we just don't care that much [about Microsoft] anymore,' Zemlin said. 'They used to be our big rival, but now it's kind of like kicking a puppy.'", says Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin.

If you can telecommute full time and do your job from the comfort of home, then so can anyone in the world. You're now competing with folks who would be happy to have your job at 10% of what you're paid -- not just a 10% discount!
Not likely. Even if you're telecommuting full time you're likely to come to HQ for occasional meetings etc.
You still have to be aware of what your job actually is.
On the bright side, if you telecommute you can be getting a blowjob while working at your computer! Try doing that at work! (I did... does anybody know of any companies hiring programmers in the Portland, Oregon area?)
Did you learn your lesson about filling out expense reports on kneepads?
This. Of course, they're be the usual whining about how Gimp is supposedly unintuitive (i.e., it's not set up exactly like Photoshop)...
I'm so sick of this stupid attitude. I'll make this real simple: GIMP gets these complaints. Paint Shop Pro, Sketchbook, Painter, and a whole bunch of other non-free painting/image editing apps don't. It's not the invention of a legion of crazy people.
so shut the hell up, go see some doctor for the obsessive compulsive problem about using the latest and greatest release of all and get the job done.
In the context of Adobe products, the 'obsessive compulsion' you're talking about is normally called 'keeping a roof over your head'. If I were stuck with the '2004 version' (Photoshop 7, in this case), I'd be behind my colleagues in productivity.
As far as I'm aware, patent law doesn't require commercialization to be liable...
Yeah, actually it pretty much does. If you go into your garage and build a clone of an engine with patented parts, you're not going to get in trouble for it until you attempt to do something commercial with it.
...and I'm sure trademark law does....
Not for personal use, no. This is already something that's going on today. You can make big prints of movie posters, for example, hang them all up in your house, and you'll never see a problem from that. Take them to a convention and try to sell them, though, and you's busted.
I have no doubt, though, that we'll see changes in the laws when things like 3D printers become main stream.
It's not wrong, but it's most definitely illegal. Gotta love those patent and trademark laws, huh? though copyright may also play a part, relating to its aesthetic design.
No, it's not. You're thinking of somebody cloning the cars and selling htem.

Git.
Serious question: Do you have it working on your phone or tablet? Can you hit it from computers outside of our network, like from work?
All Star Trek TV already on the Pirate Bay.
Streaming is superior.
Also, I'm sure in typical Netflix style, before you get 20% through it, you'll start getting notices that the content will expire in a couple weeks.
Well, 104 weeks.
Awesome!!

The rest of us want to know why you're still on 56k dialup.

False alarm, video files are big.
It dont see a scam here, the USB stick was just set to write-only!
God forbid the consumers vote with their feet who are unhappy with bad roaming service.
Go look up the word 'contract'.
Didn't even get to the title of the article, which is "Which Comic Book Character Is The Greatest Maker Of All Time?", eh?
Alice is a character in a comic "strip", not in a comic "book".
Technicalities *do* matter when one is dealing with geeks debating about which imaginary character is superior. ;)
Heh. I like how the offensive part of my post wasn't referring to being a woman as a handicap.
My vote would have been for Alice. She's the top engineer in her company, she's developed patents that earned her company 2 billion dollars in revenue, and her fist-of-death is legendary. All this after she overcame the handicap of being a woman....
Did you read the 3 other comments that corrected me on it? (or my own acknowledgement of it?)
Comments: 500. And yet people still talk of slashdot groupthink.

You definitely got me there.

Ah it's good to get my daily SlashKos dose, where there's always a featured story about how stealing is justified because of teh evil capitalismz0rz!!
If you were to become educated on the topic you'd suddenly not see as many crazy people about.

So it's right to steal a Ferrari?
It's wrong to make an identical copy of a Ferrari?
No price beats free
Wrong. See iTunes.
