Which is exactly why Intel wrote their own optimizing compiler.
And once apps are optimized for the P4, every Joe Casual User will have to buy one to get decent performance. I'm sure that's just a coincidence, though.
If there had been no explanation then to this day we'd be getting long threads on Slashdot and elsewhere complaining bout this "foundationless" Force, followed by doubly long threads "explaining" it.
Neither was Jedi, which was by far the crappiest of the original movies.
What's your point? That he's not the worst director in the world? The fact that someone else directed a worse movie does not contradict the point of the original post.
For example: Leia was never supposed to be Luke's sister until they realized that they needed Vader to say something that would make Luke mad enough to come out and fight.
There are other instances.
Yup. For example, Vader was not supposed to chop off Luke's hand. Luke was supposed to have lost it during a training mishap, but that scene turned out poorly and had to be scrapped. Since they'd already shot the scene of him having his hand repaired, a quick-thinking AD suggested Vader chop it off in the fight, as that scene had yet to be filmed.
Throughout history, often times the greatest authors have died in poverty because their works were not appreciated.
Van Gogh, for instance, though not an author certainly a "content creator," created more than 800 paintings, yet managed to sell only one during his life.
Say you're the author of a high priced low volume technical book (priced high because you know it's going to be low volume) - how would you feel if every purchaser was offered the choice of buy it new for $60 (you get your cut), or buy it used for $20 (you get zip)?
That'd be great. Good technical books are kept for years, so the more used copies of a technical book there are, the more likely it's a Piece o' Crap Unleashed. What better way to send the message to the author and the publisher that nobody wants their high-priced cheeseball book.
It now seems that we have two people with knowledge of the content, but the author has only been paid once.
Sure. That's why I make everybody leave the room when I play a CD I bought. After all, if they listened to it then they'd have the knowledge of it without having paid for it! They'd probably even go home humming the tune, the bastards. No way buddy - no thieves in my house. Get out, get out.
My suggestion to the Powers That Be was to offer credit on the web, some network interface cards, and perhaps a credit file along with the source code for the driver
Doing that is like publishing a list of which engineers other companies should try to hire away and which to avoid, eventually leaving the company with a bunch of Ernies.
Does anyone know whether the soundtrack for the series was ever published as a CD? And if it was, where could I buy it online?
It's too bad there's no way you could possibly find that out on your own. If only there were some sort of searching apparatus for this internet thingie.
Cosmos is not region coded. Yes, content scrambling is ev[il]. No, Cosmos is not content scrambled!
Yeah, but does it have that damn FBI warning you can't skip past?
Note to DVD makers:
Do you actually believe that not being able to skip that warning has resulted in even one less pirate disk? Why do you go to so much trouble to make a nice presentation, then right out the box the first thing you do is annoy the user?
Why does your submission read like a script from an infomercial? Why does it read nothing at all like your above post? It's hard to beleive they were even written by the same person.
It's not entrapment. It may be shitty behavior, it may even be criminal itself, but it's not entrapment. Entrapment is to entice or trick into committing a crime so as to make an arrest.
I just find it funny when people say disparaging things about teachers, and they don't even use proper English. "Teacher's" is a possesive noun, in your sentence the teachers are not possessing anything, so the correct spelling is "teachers".
Sheesh. You commit three errors complaining about his one.
1) It's "possessive."
2) You should use yet, not and, as in "yet they don't even use proper English."
3) It should be "Teacher's" is a possessive noun. (period, new sentence) In your...
The same principle applies though. The teacher was in a position of authority over the student...The teacher basically lied to a group of students and challenged them to do something....Then, when one does it, the teacher turns him in to the police for it. Sounds like entrapment to me
Yeah - when I couldn't pay tution my teacher said maybe I should rob a bank. Then when I did it my teacher called the police. Fortunately I was able to invoke the Logic of Danse(tm) and claim entrapment.
No, wait - that would be retarded. I guess it didn't happen.
if I have a signed, notarized contract where I offered to pay you $2,000,000 for killing Bill Gates, you could not go to court to force me to pay you if you did actually kill Bill Gates.
Yeah, but if the guy's willing to kill a saintly and heroic man like WHGIII, just think what he'd do to you.

BTW, knock off the "BEEP!" crap. It's moronic.

Considering that there isn't a scientific explanation, I guess they didn't have much choice but to opt for pseudoscience, now did they?
Wouldn't that violate rule #2?

Entrapment is persuading someone to commit a crime for the purpose of having them arrested. That is not what happened.
That first one looks like something The Professor would have whipped up using a couple of coconuts.
