Rebooting isn't a crime--and is often necessary after applying security patches.
Think about that the next time someone tells you it'd been 700 days since a reboot; 700 days of exploits you can choose from to assail that machine with.
Wow, a kernel exploit in KVM which isn't installed on the system. A DoS kernel exploit in a network module that's not installed. That about sums up the usual 700 days of exploits.
Rebooting a server to try and fix a problem is just one step above "percussive maintenance" in the hierarchy of problem solving.
Please tell me you didn't just knock percussive maintenance. If the Fonz can use it on a 45 rpm record player, I can use it on a 10,000rpm disk. Although toaster ovens usually work better for getting a good spin-up.
maybe it bombed because the fans all downloaded it and hence didn't go to the cinema?
I tried to go to the theater for Serenity, but couldn't go the first week due to obligations (can't remember what now). It was gone by the next week. I've never seen a film taken out that quickly, even complete stinkers. I suspect film sabotage.
Nobody in their right mind would try bringing a series back again
What, like Family Guy? A return to TV so successful that a spinoff was created? A Firefly/Serenity return would be less successful, but successful nonetheless. I have a lot of geek friends (including one that hates sci-fi), that love Firefly enough to buy the DVDs.
(Google) Chrome gets money from Google for using their (own) search? Ok...
Probably, yes. Interdepartmental charges help big companies to know which groups help each other and are healthier, etc. I doubt the chrome group was allowed to run a bluff about switching to Bing to strong-arm more money from the search division, but they probably are getting fair market price for the search bar (whatever Mozilla gets).
"It be hidden? What do we pay the editors for? It is hidden, or it would be hidden or something. Come on, don't we have anyone here who hasn't outsourced their job to Elbonia?"
Elbonics is a legitimate dialect of English. You're racist if you disagree.
They shouldn't. However, they have every (and should have every) -right- to ask.
Not when the employer is the government, or a direct agent of the government. Government should have far fewer rights in that regard than private citizens should have.
Add to this the idea that if gold is used as currency, a newly discovered mine is essentially causing inflation. Take the old D&D trick of Dragon Hoard Inflation; a great way to make players not spend their money all in one town lest they destroy it (a mug of ale costs 20 gold pieces, and in some cases gold pieces become so common that silver and copper are more valuable). Gold is convenient because it's easier to carry than a goat, and easier to use as "proof of work done for someone" than carrying that person around with you (unless you're a palanquin lifter). But if someone digs some gold out of the ground or pans it from a stream, they haven't "done work for someone" nor is that gold an actual goat. So when this person trades the found gold for goods or services, they're essentially an economic parasite.
Because she wasn't taking reasonable precautions to prevent or mitigate said accident. Hell, the precaution of not texting is _legally_mandated_ in many states. Maybe the old dude walked our in front of her at the last second, and maybe even a stunt driver couldn't have prevented the accident, but the point is that she had some basic disregard for the safety of others.
The problem with the movie ending is that Dr M was human. Superhuman, yes, but human nonetheless. From Earth. The proper response to a Dr M attack is to grovel in fear, because even if he leaves, another Dr M might be created some day. The squid ending has the logical conclusion of forcing countries together to fight the outside enemy (and much more in line with veet's character as a student if history).
"A machine will never understand speech."
And one hasn't yet. They've responded to speech, but they've not understood it. The difference between the two lies in epistemology, not computer science.
Yes, the natural language processing is impressive. But it takes a really huge computer, and it's really nothing more than a bunch of clever software along with a database of trivia.
Slap a neckbeard on that puppy and stick it in a slashdotter's mom's basement.

That was a typo; I meant non-geek friends. Obviously my geek friends like Firefly.
Berried? You're an idiot.
Or a friend of Strawberry Shortcake.

nowadays people just type what they want in the Google Search bar
GOOGLE
Search: [ i want browser URL bar ]
[search] [I'm feeling lucky]
Just rotate it to 9:16 and enjoy the vertical space. I don't know any modern OS that can't handle that. Me, I can't get enough horizontal space.

I refuse to support what I consider a complete waste of time and computing resources.
So can I have your /. account? I'd like to drop 200,000 or so from my UID. Impress the ladies, you know?
Apparently trolls make awesome cyber-warriors.
I had a nasty troll hiding under br0, preventing my VMs from getting access to the 'net.
You must have quite a speech impediment if you think "two" is written the way it sounds,
Yeah, Mr. Owl always taught us it's pronounced "ta-hoo"
A tablet is also a data input device. Not sure why people think otherwise.
So is a joystick, but I don't use it to type anything longer than a character's name in a computer RPG.

Beas basically committed a murder
No, Beas basically allegedly committed vehicular manslaughter, or is there evidence of evil intent you're secretly aware of?

there was nothing wrong with the gymnist's leg. It was that one leg was missing that was the problem.
Being gone is one of the biggest problems one can have with one's leg, right behind having the leg turn evil and plot against the rest of the body.
The Republican Party, and many Democrats don't believe that the Constitution applies to non-Citizens.
But they do believe that the Constitution applies to laws of the United States.
