I agree completely (I realize I may have sounded harsh, but I was agreeing with you). It's been my opinion that the music score is the best part of Star Wars.
It may just be me, but that whole Anakin/Amadala montage in EPII reminded me a *lot* of the "Something tells me I'm into something good" scene in The Naked Gun.
I'll have to play that song while watching EPII to see if it works well...
I think Williams is *heavily* influenced by Dvorak. You can hear a lot of Dvorak in Star Wars and some other films. Not to mention that the Jaws theme takes *directly* from Dvorak's 9th symphony in part (this is pretty blatant - like Vanilla Ice/Queen blatant).
I have no problem with that though. Both are *fantastic* composers IMHO. Williams has done some good work I think. What artist isn't influenced by others? "I stand on the shoulders of giants" and all that...
And SIP (VOIP), and bittorrent, and FTP (non-passive), others...
There's a lot of "friendly-fire" with NAT. And a half-decent firewall provides more defence than straight NAT either way. No, there is no good reason to require NAT anymore. It's a kludge. A bad one.
What's truly amazing, however, is that students *aren't* punished severely for things such as rioting. After the Red Sox won the world series the local colleges has many riots with students flipping cars, fighting, etc. Very little happened to any of them. But *dare* to speak your mind and you get kicked out of school?
I sorta hedged my bet there. I can't think of anytime in the near past when I've done it. I was thinking maybe sometime back when I was doing a lot of report queries (large complicated joins) I may have ordered things without a care to how they were in the SELECT.
But if things were "auto" grouped it would be just one less clause to modify.
Only, a "select distinct" won't give me the "count(*)" (which I want).
select fielda, fieldb, fieldc, fieldd, count(*) from foo where status=1 group by fielda, fieldb, fieldc, field;
Just a personal gripe I know, but it seems redundant to tell it what to group by when 99% of the time it's the same order as the fields are selected by...
Any technology that now uses XML is suddenly a breakthrough these days. Just think if somebody decides that SMTP isn't good enough anymore and builds an XML based transfer method!
New and IMPROVED eMail! Now with XML Technology! It does everything email did before, but now with XML!
I'd *love* it if "group by *" (or some such syntax) would just group by all the items in the select in order... It's so bloody tedious to have to re-write each item being selected for the group clause.
Well, if they actually *let* the spam be sent then I'd call them irresponsible and wouldn't cut them *any* slack. But if they trap it, then yes this is a good thing.
As opposed to arguing against a fallacy? Stupid questions need to be shown for what they are. Would you try to answer "have you stopped beating your wife?" No. Instead you'd point it out as a bad question.
Sure, they have a right to go back and build below sea level. But why should the rest of the country fund their stupidity? This is the question. I don't mind spending to help those in need. But if it's so they can go right back and live in the same stupid location I start to get a bit annoyed (thinking of next year's possible hurricanes).
"We really can't have a Europe that is applauded by China and Iran and Saudi Arabia on the future governance of the internet. Even those critical of the United States must see where such a position risks taking us."
Reminds me of a quote I'm going to paraphrase (don't remember the speaker - Churchill?):
I'd rather argue against a hundred idiots than have one agree with me.
In liberal America being "color-blind" means doing lots of studies into peoples ethnicity and forcing it out as an issue. Then they say insulting things to "people of color" like "How does it feel to be a black foo?" as if it were any different for them than a white foo.
Fscked up yes. But that's how it is. I'd be seriously insulted if somebody pulled that shit on me. "Oh, you're *white* and you managed to become a programmer? Good for you!"

Sit yourself down sometime and try to get through Manos the Hands of Fate (without MST3k).

Ahhhh, but did Space Balls have "tapdancing storm troopers?" Huh? Did it? No.
I might have to pop on over to see this one. Sounds like a hoot...

Who said you can't NAT IPV6?

Further I believe "entrapment" means that the law enforcement coerced you into doing something illegal that you normally wouldn't have done.

Just because something can't currently be explained by science does NOT mean that God/Aliens/Ron Hubbard is involved.
This is such a stupid argument that it should not be responded to, but rather scoffed at and laughed at.

I thought it was going to be weird with the entire script sung
This is hardly unusual... Ever heard of "opera?" It's not just a web-browser!

Damned right. I'll even add to your list.

Bunch of cowards!
Let the UN inspectors oversee the dismantling like they wanted. That was the point of the inspectors.
Are you sure you read it? A snake exploded eating a crocodile!
Man if you don't think that's hysterical then I don't know what you'll find funny...
C'mon mods, this guy is pushing personal preferences as some sort of "truth." If that's not flamebait what is?!?
The AC who responded deserves more mod points...
Obviously you don't work in local governement. EVERYBODY gets the tax!
