Why is George worried?
The show may cost 10 times more than it's worth to produce, but it's Star Wars, he'll be able to sell it for 100 times what it's worth to the networks.
Although it's not charged by the mile, I'm already paying a tax based on this. Not sure what other states have, but in Massachusetts, everyone pays an excise tax on their vehicles. This is *supposed* to basically be a road use tax. You want to tax my vehicle per miles traveled? That's an issue which will make me very politically active, to start campaigning against you.
go watch El Marachi. It's better than most everything made at Hollywierd and was less than the cost of a cheap car.
Read Rebel Without a Crew, it's basically Robert Rodriguez' diary for the making of El Mariachi. Great book.
Rodriguez' motto: There's at least one bad movie in everyone.
I forgot to mention - don't forget to remove the cling-wrap in the spring when you open up your cottage. It can be a nasty surprise if someone tries to use the toilet without removing it. It's usually fairly clear film after all.:)
There's definately a practical joke living somewhere in your statement...
Passangers stand with their backs against the pads and the ride spins them up to slightly above 1g for roughly three minutes.
Reminds of a similar ride called the Turkish Twist; giant spinning drum, the rider is pinned to the wall, the floor drops out and there you are.
I would ride it, throw up, then complain to my companions that it made me sick.
The next time I would go on the ride, they would say: "But you don't like that ride, it makes you sick."
I would reply: "Of course I like that ride, getting sick is the best part!"

Seriously, please don't buy into HD, unless the DRM madness ends. A few extra pixels are not worth our rights, nor the damage to the open source community.
If you don't buy into HD, the terrorists have won...
Most science videos shown in schools have some celeb host who is irrelevant to the field.
Hello, I'm Troy MacLure.
You may remember me from such science film classics as: Don't eat that Uranium!
And: Honey, I shrunk the Amazon.
I completely agree.
As a Webtrends refugee, I found Urchin to be a gift from heaven, it really rocks the house.
However, Urchin (as of ver. 5.x) does rely on Javascript and bugs.
That's why a fresh perspective on a problem can be quite enlightening, and why I tend to go ask other programmers for their ideas/comments when I get stuck. I don't know everything, and I sometimes make stupid assumptions or forget to consider certain technquies. No group is immune from this.
Bah, every time I ask other programmers for input, their ideas are always stupid, my ideas are much better...
Spend a few dozen hours in X-Plane and a few dozen hours in the real world, and you can get your private pilot's license for less than half the price of a fuckin' Toyota Camry.
Off topic, I know this.
I've heard that regardless of one's medical history, once you hit 40, it's pretty difficult to get your medical certificate.
Not impossible, just difficult - you need to jump through a lot more hoops with the FAA.
Anyone have any practical experience with this?
Is this true, or am I full of crap?
Or just write the ten lines needed to do XMLHttpRequest calls yourself (there, that's the AJAX part taken care of), and for all other effects write your own functions
That sounds great in theory, but what would probably happen in reality is that Microsoft would end up writing the standard, and adding proprietary, patented extensions onto it in order to ensure permanent dominance for Internet Explorer.
Agreed.
A scenario like what the GP suggests would create a 'fox guarding the hen house' kind of situation.

I lol'ed.
I mean really... Are they fucking serious?
Upsidaisyum

Best comment so far.

Eating chilis releases endorphins. People get hooked on that release.
Your post made me laugh. The replies made me sad, knowing that Sheldon Cooper is alive and well.

In other words, and say it slowly with me, "Correlation does NOT equal causation."

Surely you meant "an entirely piractical way to tackle the issue ?"

Off topic I know, but then danger's my middle name baby, yeah!
Why not just weigh everybody to see who weighs the same as a duck?
But terrorists are not usually made of wood.
Coding is not all hot tubs full of babes
Well then, would you mind explaining to me what all these babes are doing in my hot tub?
Wait, strike that, if I have to ask...
