It means that in the next two to five years we can confidently expect the development and release of FTL travel, zero-point energy, a cure for mortality, replicator technology and hot green alien nymphomaniac bikini chicks. From Mars.
If I'm immortal, what need do I have for hot green alien nymphomaniac bikini chicks? I'd be popping saltpeter pills and working on time travel science (since all the other super-science would be done, and being assured that I'd see the future via immortality, only the past would be of interest).
The broadcast is the advertisement. The first few episodes are broadcast to bring in any possible audience and see whom it appeals to, then straight to DVD.
I have to wonder if part of the problem is the "ratings" system itself. Isn't it possible that while Neilsen families aren't watching it, college kids and others are watching it... owe WERE watching it?
The worst part about the Neilsen system: the target audiences are never polled.
All they needed to know the "tricks" in the summary was to watch Saturday Night Live during the years Chevy Chase was on. I've known how to safely prat-fall for a long time.
Why take one when you can have both? It was intended to be broken by method X, but the programming teams didn't talk to each other well enough, so it was broken by method Y, and the testing showed it matched the intended result by 80%, so it was shippable.
It's not just how birds feel. People who spend the majority of their time outdoors, with the ability to see the sun, get the same feeling. Citydwellers have the unfortunate circumstance of generally not being able to judge direction by the location of the sun; people in rural areas don't have this problem.
People in Indiana and Arizona have a similar time-sense related to the Sun since they don't/didn't have daylight savings. I grew up in Indiana, and always knew within 5 minutes what time it was without a watch. Once I started living in Daylight savings time, I started getting confused (I wasn't just an hour off like you'd expect), and now I strategically place clocks around me so I can always see one.
We are entering an age of information awareness. We literally have machines that can now read our minds. We would be remiss to not take advantage of this!
I'm a pilot, and
... you'd be willing to think in Russian to fly your plane?
I've seen them used as a way to reset the password, but also as a secondary, mandatory field during password authentication. The secondary field tripped me up because a had just generated random crap to throw in the fields.
Some portion of computer buyers are aware of Apple computers and that they come with a different operating system.
And that Apples cost $$$ more. In fact, Microsoft's latest commercials are all about Windows being the inexpensive option: "Look, I can buy a Windows laptop that does all I need for $1,500 less!"
I currently have 22 tabs open, and about 14 are job-critical ATM. The designer wanting to remove tabs "because hardware has caught up" is clueless. Just because browser-coding requires 2-3 windows doesn't mean that's the high-end of user-needs.
"Previous excavations revealed bones that were thought to be exclusively human. But Rozzi's team re-examined them and found one they concluded was Neanderthal."
So, most of these flesh-stripped bones were human, and one was Neanderthal? Maybe it was the Neanderthals eating humans? Are were _sure_ they weren't tool-using?
Did you install LTS 6.06 (Dapper Drake)? Or maybe this is a copy/paste from 2007? Gutsy and even Hardy solved these issues:
1. NVIDIA graphics card drivers weren't installed because they were proprietary. Come on. Even then, dragging windows around and typing into text boxes had a minor delay that didn't feel natural.
There's a little pop-up that says: click here to install proprietary nvidia/ati drivers. And it does it, unlike a windows machine where you have to go to nvidia/ati's website and jump through some hoops (hopefully you know what your graphics card is).
2. All websites looked different and ugly as sin, because the package didn't come with the fonts that every other system used. Come on!
I don't know what you're talking about. At all. Unless you're looking at geocities or angelfire.
3. Multi-monitor use was difficult to set up without having to alter configuration files ( though I do wish taskbars on multiple screens would come to Windows 7). Some things I found simply couldn't be done without writing scripts: setting up a hotkey to send a window to the other monitor, etc.
Totally clicky-pointy. I know for a fact that Jan 4th, 2008, Gutsy was clicky-pointy in this regard, with my laptop, vga, and HDMI screens. You're doing it the hard way (possibly out-geeking yourself). Upgrading to Hardy kept my settings.

Who drinks 9 liters of any liquid a day? No wonder other side effects were vomiting and diarrhea.
Was it stolen by being stuffed down someone's pants? National Archives' Security is pants.
AWESOME! You just proved most of Congress are robots!
No no no, he said "Sense, Think, Act." Clearly one of the three is missing.
Malice, or simple incompetence?

Apparently Intel didn't play the first two Zelda games. It's Molblin, dammit!
most [successful] hacking DOES come from within.
Edited for correctness. By far, the majority of attempts come from outside.
I think the parent was assuming you use a REAL browser.
netcat?
He's waiting for gnu hurd.
It would be nice if there was a way to disable it for all sites but blah.com
Try Noscript.
Noscript for Safari?
Do USB flash drives still come in two flavors, and Motherboards only boot one or the other (rarely both)?

That might explain why joggers with earbuds (tiny electro-magnets inside the head) are always running in the street instead of on the sidewalks.

With enough water a reasonably fit human can march all day long.
I walked around town today. I couldn't find one.
Best under-the-radar joke ever (assuming you spent all day in your search).

Re-read the few verses of Genesis about Cain and Abel. Cain did not eat his brother.
I installed Ubuntu for the first time last year,
