Calling Visual Basic 6 "classic" is a misuse. It's a common misuse, mind you. And that's why I say that the word "classic" is overused.
Wait a minute, I was just able to enter "Alejandro G. Iñárritu" and all the cool little foreign hats on the "n" and the "a" showed up! Did something fundamental change at Slashdot? Have the Slashdot owners been meddling with the primal forces of nature?
Rovio should have gotten someone like David Lynch to direct.
No, better than that: they should have hired Alejandro G. Iñárritu, the guy who directed Birdman. That would have been a nice tie-in and a more interesting movie.
According to Box Office Mojo, the production budget was $73million. I guess the promotional budget could have been another $100 million, but that seems like a lot for a movie like this.
Also, remember that the box office numbers are gross. That means how much the box office took in from people buying tickets. Only a fraction of that goes to the production studio.
It's not if the movie is #1 this weekend, it's if the movie is #1 for the next few months. The budget was $73million and they grossed $39million this weekend. By Hollywood accounting, that means they made absolutely nothing this weekend. After marketing, overhead, cocaine and hookers, they're probably still $150million in the hole.
Cap'n America thing is at $390 million and still rolling. They've paid off the production, pimps and dealers and now they're putting money in the bank.
There's a good chance that everyone who wanted to see Angry Birds will see it this week and the word will get out that it sucks.
Should I assume you also want to deprive someone of their life when the stoplight turns green and the car in front of you doesn't immediately accelerate?
No, those people should just be flogged. I'm thinking 20 hard lashes.
because people don't break so called laws where the so called penalty is death?
Killing ransomware and botnet operators would not be done in order to reduce their activities. It would be done because it would be so damn satisfying.
The most impressive part of this Slashdot story is the little throwaway at the bottom:
In an unrelated development, 12 Facebook employees and their guests were stuck in an elevator at Facebook's California headquarters for more than two hours on Friday, until being rescued by local firefighters using the Jaws of Life.
Whoever "EditorDavid" is, I salute him. Little details like this might make me start reading more than just the headlines again.
My admiration for the new regime of editors increases.
So, who is this "civil liberties advocate" Geoffrey Stone? First, he was the dean of the University of Chicago Law School when Barack Obama worked there. During the Bush Administration, he wrote articles about how NSA surveillance was illegal (2006). In 2011, he was appointed to "The President's Review Group on NSA Surveillance" and magically he wasn't so strident any more. He is to civil liberties what Larry Fucking Summers is to the economy. Just another jobber waiting for their turn at the helm.
He's a DNC liberal who loves civil liberties until he doesn't any more.

I'm holding out for Lincoln Logs: The Movie.
You poor, pitiful fuck.
That's a waste. I'll just do it right here on my desk.
I don't know who you are, EditorDavid, but the little idiosyncratic items you tend to leave at the end of your entries are, well...tasty.
You SJWs are really something.

No, those people should just be flogged. I'm thinking 20 hard lashes.
Killing ransomware and botnet operators would not be done in order to reduce their activities. It would be done because it would be so damn satisfying.
Sometimes, that's enough.
Would you prefer, "Solar Energy Has its First Chernobyl"?
I'm not sure what you just said, but the answer is yes.
