What Marvel Universe do you read? Iron Man started as leader of the Avengers until he transfered the reins to Captain America (Remember, Cap was found in the ice in the Avengers comics). He did this during the whole "Oops, I purposefully killed criminals who stole my tech" phase of his career.
However a LOT of shows perform much better in DVD sales than they do while aired and that's simply a fact of the method by which you watch it. Some shows just do better when you can watch multiple episodes at once rather than waiting a week between. Firefly is no exception to this.
Or in proper order. Or at the time you expected them to be on without ads notifying about a time/day change. Fox decided to kill the show long before the first episode (which wasn't the first episode) aired.
"Did the writer's ever actually read the original Jack Kirby, Stan Lee comic that this was based on?"
Of course they did. They also read the Ultimate (FF,Galactus) series of comics, and introduced some of those ideas because their superiors at Marvel forced them to. The result was the mess you watched in the theater.
There is no way that a) Downey is going to agree to doing an ensemble picture as a bit player after headlining 2+ Iron Man movies, or b) That the studio is going to spring for the big money it would take to hire him, just for an ensemble role in a risky new franchise.
No way? a) Iron Man is the Leader of the Avengers. Downey gets to boss around the other stars, and stare down Jackson, who will only have one eye to stare with. b) Maybe it's part of his contract that he'll play Iron Man in three movies, like McGuire got stuck for Six Spiderman movies.
over time, you'll see that tablets can and will be far more than simple consumption devices, and will be very, very good at input of all sorts. Drawing is the most obvious example that works today, but others will follow.
Drawing doesn't work well on an iPad. Yes, I've tried. It's no Wacom.
It's not very,very good at virtual keyboard input either. It's actually slightly worse than my iPhone.
You must not have been a Mac user during the last 10 years. Adobe has done everything they could do get people to move to Windows - almost killing the platform. It was the Mac OS that kept creative professionals coming back to the Mac.
No, It was the Menuing system on the top of the screen that kept creative professionals coming back to Adobe on the Mac. Take away adobe, and they would have left Mac. Take the menuing system to any other OS, and they would have flocked. I suppose since that menuing system was only on Mac OS, you could say it was "Mac OS" that made them come back, but it was really just one specific feature of the OS. BTW, I know this because I work[ed] with a lot of these creative professionals, and this is what they've told me.
The best part of having a Mac is never having to spend all that time doing patches and updates.
Because the botnet owner does them for you? I'm constantly running softwareupdate -a -i on macs. Just about as much as running windows updates on 'doze boxes and apt-get update && apt-get upgrade / yum -y update for Linux. And that doesn't count Adobe Updates, Firefox updates, etc.
Of course, maybe you set up your OS to install updates automatically. Guess what, other OSes can do that too.
Password aging should automatically take into account the security of the password someone creates
No, password aging should take into account out of the ordinary successful connections. User X logged in to a new computer on the other side of the building, then went back to regular pattern of just using their own workstation. "Hi, this is infosec. We show you logged in over in the marketing department yesterday at 11:41AM on a manager's computer. If this wasn't you, please change your password and respond to this voicemail. Otherwise, please ignore. Thanks!"
It should be like the bank calling you when your card rang up a purchase in Bangkok an hour after it rang up a purchase in your home town, or multiple large out of the ordinary purchases in town. Of course, you should get the same call if your account is using a non-secure password, except with the addition that it's been locked, and you now get forced to make a new password.
Who puts their wrists where the su-iCide bar is installed? PC users are silly.
The flat sheet-metal keyboard is pretty, but ridiculous for RSI users.
Repetitive Strain, huh? Yeah, I get that whenever I get my new macbooks.
Typing on a flat screen -- that is sure to cause all kinds of problems. Even the ads for the Ipads make everyone look contorted while using them - they are either in some crazy position or are craning their necks over to see what they are doing.
It's called yoga? We do that all day long here in California? We also make statements that end with an upward inflection?
Cars enter an intersection until the light goes red, as a pedestrian I'm doing the same. I'm not gonna look at the countdown and calculate if I am gonna make it by the time it hits zero. I sometimes have to wait for turning cars to clear the crossing, they can do me the same courtesy.
Yeah, A guy tried that recently on a 50mph road here. I was stopped, it was dusk, and a car was coming up behind me (in the lane to my right) at 50mph but was slowing down. Green light, car behind me puts the gas on because the pedestrian is blocked from its field of view by my car. The pedestrian and the car both stop hard. Luckily, the Pedestrian stopped faster. The car, even though braking, would have hit him _very_ hard. He ran back to the island and looked sheepish. When that little red hand pops up on the crosswalk light, it means "DONT WALK". Remember, you have to be alive to sue the driver.

New MacBook Pros Launched
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
so we're still due two more Apple articles today. Unless these new MacBook Pros run iPhone OS, then I suppose it would count, sort of.
so make the yellow time between two numbers, no shorter than x and no longer than Y. Of course that will make almost imposable to time the lights then.
Not if it's pseudo-random, which is much easier to program anyway. It's not like people are going to stop at a light for ten sequences until they see the simple pattern and say to themselves "Ha! Now I can run the yellow on the next light change!" Unless you can see the light from a long distance, you'll never know how long a yellow light might be even if it's a simple sequence of 3,4,4,5,3,3,4,3,5,4,4,4,3. And if every light in the city followed that sequence, I'm sure there's a way you could time everything.
I agree with the posters above me. Your choices aren't limited to "in front" or "behind" and both immediately. There's "over", "in front, after guy pulls back", "under" (not suggested), "wait until next light", etc.
Yes. With a minor €0,01 fee for shipping and handling per packet*. That's peanuts compared to the competition!
*Packet size shall not exceed 12772 bytes for residential connections or 65542 for business class connections. Business class connections are assessed an additional OMG You're a Business like Google Fee of €Googol/month.
How dare you give them profit (but not as much as they hoped)! Just imagine if a restaurant owner acted this way. "Google, you ordered thirty six-foot sub sandwiches for your giant party, but you didn't buy our drinks, which are our biggest profit margin. How dare you use canisters and a rented fountain dispenser? We can't do business with you any more."
Of course, that analogy doesn't make sense; it's more like a store owner that Google pays to have its Nexus One phone put on a endcap for high visibility, Google provides the Nexus One (content), and People buy it from the stores. Hmm, I just realized that according to this latest analogy, the store owners(ISPs) should be paying Google for the Nexus One (content), otherwise, no one could buy it at the stores.
first it's not the virus that is doing anything. it's just a scaffold. the virus just self-assembles the scaffold for you. the interior DNA / RNA is irrelevant.
that said, the design for the self assembly and display is in the virus DNA I believe. so given a host to express itself in, it could presumably reproduce this in the wild. it would not be any use to the virus. But you could imagine that some host cell might harness the virus to make hydrogen for it's own purposes.
So I suspect that if this gets loose in the wild that the virus won't keep this trait long enough for some host cell to adapt to taking advantage of it.
Let's graft it into an engineered Tyrannosaurus/Triceratops/Brontosaurus/Stegosaurus/Pteranodon chimera and make a fire breathing dragon!

The Faceman doing a double take of the Cylon in The A Team was awesome. The regular viewers of Castle aren't going to get the joke as quickly.

Took me a while to realize GP meant Windows Server 2008 Active Directory. "2008 AD" is a really bad nickname stemming from bad marketing.
Apple's stated justification for not allowing Flash is that it'll drain the battery and so give a poor user experience.
As if a good majority of the apps don't already do that. Oh wait, duplication of functionality?

You can adjust what stories you see... Looks like someone is jealous they aren't getting enough Linux stories.
Ooh, I saw a Linux iPad-clone story, so I'm feeling better.

I wasn't talking about phones. I was talking about ISPs, Google, and bandwidth. Phones were analogies.
This is the IBM PC Jr of SSDs.
No one will buy it, but it will usher in the age of the SSD. Who are you and what have you done with BadAnalogyGuy?

They're originally telco's. They're not used to being dumb pipes because only a decade or so ago, they mostly weren't.
Wha? What is a Telecommunications company besides a dumb pipe? Does your phone company's hold-muzak count as original content?
Great for leading your people to freedom from Nanopharaoh.
