I never saw a movie preview for this movie. I could see the arguement that this demographic is more aware of non-mainstream movies more.
Also, those demographics may just have more homosexuals. I am straight and watch predominantly straight love movies with my wife. I would imagine someone gay would probably prefer more gay love movies.
Just to add, I really wouldn't expect Microsoft to do anything to make silverlight playable in Linux. They never did with their other products so there is no reason to be expecting it now.
What I take with issue with is the talk about have silverlight has the save portibilty for OSs as flash.
There is 64 bit flash. While it took a while for it to come out, it is still better than anything Microsoft offers of silverlight for Linux.
Also, adobe spent the money on developing it for Linux (since it is closed.) Microsoft does not and always stays pretty far ahead of the Linux one. While they may not be hindering silverlight's development, they are not contributing to it working on my machine.
I was on a team were nobody took their schedule breaks. They were very proud of their work ethic. What they left out and didn't even seem to peronally realize was that they rarely did any work. They would spend half their shifts in the breakroom or cafeteria but when it came down to when break or lunch was scheduled, they would be at their desks working.
They were scheduled 1 hour of breaks and lunch and probably spent at least 3 - 5 hours away from their work area or chatting about nothing.
They all threw a fit about how under appricated they were when they were called out on this.
I've got a solid education, a good skill-set, insurance, and the ability to relocate. It won't be too bad for me.
It should be great for you.
If society breaks down and nature becomes harsh and cruel, I am sure that solid "climate change" education will be extremely useful for surving in the new world.
Those people in the third world countries are too soft to survive...
This attitude it is difficult to have a serious discussion about this topic.
Anyhing pro-global warming is almost certainly funded by polititions and governments. If it came out that there was no man made global warming, many scientists and "think tanks" would be instantly out of work. And the money being channeled to these groups are from those already believe global warming to be true (or see the fear that it brings useful for control.)
Anything anti-global warming is attributed to the projects being funded by oil companies. They would certainly not want to come out and say that their product is destroying the world.
Most of the non-tech people I know bought HD and BlueRay players long before any tech people. They are the ones that believed the bestbuy / circuit city employee that they would see a difference while still using their non-hidef tvs...
The non-geeks are always the ones that buy based on hype. They buy their players when they were still at their riduculous prices. Just like they purchased the xbox 360 and playstation 3 right away for 500+ (or 1500 plus for the people shopping on ebay.)
The "geeks" know that the prices would drop and waited. As a bonus to waiting, they were able to buy games and movies at lower prices since they were no longer new.
No. He is more likely to ask questions on OpenOffice.
Everyone at my work had to switch to 2007 (yet we still use IE6) and no one asks any questions. They just assume that whatever feature they used before is gone.
MS Office experince is so expected in my workplace (not that it is used much) that no one is confortable asking any questions because they don't want to look incompentant.
OpenOffice has a different brand which would allow people to be confortable asking questions. The plus side of this is that they will learn OpenOffice better than they ever knew MS Office. The downside is that whoever does the rollout will be slammed with questions.
Why does it always have to revolve around bombs when it comes to terrorists?
I guess you would have to ask the terrorists that.
My guess is that they are not going for clever but for show. An angry nerd is not as scary as an angry football player even both are potentals of destruction.
The US will not negotiate with terrorists, and now the terrorists won't negotiate either.
Which means the only possible reason for the terrorists to exist (when dealing with the US)is to kill. At least the pretext that it is for long term peace is finally over
The funny thing is if the guy was caught before he got on the plane (or better yet if someone was caught and turned out not to be planning anything) everyone would be complaining about how America is losing its soul + ten 1984 references.
Just like the muslim that shot those troops at Fort Hood. I keep hearing about how the military and CIA / FBI / Homeland should have seen that coming since all "the signs" were there. Yet if he had been arrested before he commited the crime, the story would be how the government arrested someone for simply for having a non-positive view.
Can you mention a good one to use (or email me the name of one? I don't hide my email address.)
I have looked into this but find it difficult to know where to start.
I know each server has different groups or rooms that have different content. Do servers mostly have the same content (just different group names?) If I was interested in scifi information, would one be better than another?
Slashdot Mirror
That has to be one of the worst written wikipedia articles I have ever read.
You are correct. I had no idea what the movie was about.
That does lead back to my orignal point.
Really? Renting Milk shows open mindedness?

Really - show me a site that supports moonlight's dated version of silverlight.
Show me what microsoft has done to help the linux folks out on pushing mono to 3.5 (or 3.0) so that we can get that support.
I can watch hulu and youtube with no problems on my 64 bit machine. I cannot watch netflix.

This makes silverlight not relevant to me.

YOU are the one who needs to prove there isn't one
If you want us to change the way we live, the burden should be on you.
The same people that talk about how unimportant it is to convice the common folk are the same ones that bash conservatives for being "elitist."

Well, he was going to solve the world financial problem on Christmas until the Master deleted his plan.
Is that why the BSD licensed kernel is doing so much better with proprietary drivers?
Oh wait, it's not.
Because they were hidden.
I knew they were on the dell site and it took me a while to find them.
Clinking on the computer icons took me to windows computers.
Are you kidding?
Criticis the US is a good way to +5 Insightful
Very few people I know pay $$$ for windows.
It comes with whatever computer they received.
Those are the same people who will hate XP a few years from now because it will look old due to those "outdated" non ribbown like menus.

I can see a time coming where I will want to buy ebooks over real paper based books.
I think the ebooks market is there, but I do not think it will completly displace paper based books

That does not make your point. One armed person was able to take that guy down.
If anything, that recent event shows that everyone should be carrying.
I think you do not realize how much inovation comes from the military.
Hell, the internet started off as a military project. Our highways did as well.
Tor came from the NAVY if I recall correctly.

How will Mexico ever improve if the people that want to make better lives for themselves leave for the US?
(For the record, I don't agree with the mines theory that the poster was joking about, either.)
