yes, correct. i was about to write that comment myself... then i thought to refresh and badabing - there it was. although you gotta work on your spelling - especially when you copy someone else's post.. last time i checked, speach isn't a word..
i agree, that site was extremely sketchy.. not only that, but if you goto the link for a ranking of countries you will notice that they mention cuba at the bottom and refer to it as a "county".... sick job proofreading that extremely believable datasheet..
ps i, too, love the new spell check on firefox. until you mentioned it, i just thought it was some new slashdot thing... DUH!
that actually brings up an amazing point since it is possible google just wants to steal that market away and take over with their own video search. however, and and this comes with much greater importance, that video is absolutely ridiculous and i urge all to watch it if you have not already.
folks dont seem to understand that halo has one of the best storylines ever written for a game. everyone keeps saying you dont have much luck turning a game into a movie - but that is not the case here. halo has a very well written story behind it. the only comment i can agree with is that the game has so much story and movie cut-scenes included in it, this movie might actually be redundant. however, i'm sure a movie will have a lot more to offer than just cut-scenes and i think this is a sure fire deal and they would be foolish to stop production. im surprised that more/. readers don't already know this - halo IS, of course, a geek thing almost as much as WoW or any other geek game. is it the microsoft affiliation that turned you all off?
"A recent study by Brookings Institution's Brown Center shows that students who are good with math are less likely to be happy, and are likely to have low confidence."
from TFA:
"The nations with the best scores have the least happy, least confident math students"
or, alternatively
"Countries reporting higher levels of enjoyment and confidence among math students don't do as well in the subject"
wow! companies like neteller et. al. must be very happy with the passing of this new law. no more competition from credit card companies - now we (we being american online gamblers) are forced to put our money into a third party middle-man, pay them a percentage based fee, and then gamble with whats left..
thanks congress, way to accomplish absolutely nothing other than giving us a hard time.
he may have been promoting his own crap hd network but he still has a good point. YouTube will never make it as a for-profit company. for the guy who said the all time record is 33 million hits - you are right, they weren't unique - and in addition i guarantee it was for a movie that was copyrighted material.. YouTube is only good for stuff thats copyrighted - the rest of the crap on there is some jackass in a pink tutu singing along to retarded techno german music he filmed with his webcam. once the powers that be crackdown on the copyrighted material there will be nothing of value left on YouTube. the whole 'take down the stuff when they are notified' is also a load of crap, that won't last very long - that is, if their revenue stream ever picks up. you've gotta follow the money - and at the moment, there is none to follow.. thus no one has sued yet cause no one is benefitting from this crap. once someone starts to benefit from this stuff, there will be lawsuits left and right.
u people are absolutely crazy. in terms of market share and size and monetary value (and, for that matter, anything else that matters at all) myspace owns and so does microsoft. the haters out there need to just get over it. apple was cool when they were the only ones making a portable music player. ipods are stupid because they practically necessitate ITunes (the biggest piece of crap software ever made) and since everyone already has windows zune will be a breath of fresh air for the, what, 90% of the market that own a windows pc... hope you all enjoyed the "apple is cool and different" phase, cause its about to be overrrrrrrr

problem is, if you're not at the movies pumping money into the economy you can bet your sweet tits you are throwing cash into some other sector of our economy. none of this matters to the economy, rather its the particular industry in question that is crapping their pants because their slice of the pie is shrinking
many posts have alluded to this, however none pointed it out explicitly. If they ship with a cable that only a small portion of the population wants/needs the price of the unit goes up for all purchasers. never has this been the chosen option for a company looking to generate the most sales (and i think we can safely assume that is what sony wants)
it's like if the jelly people forced their consumers to buy cream cheese bundled with their jelly.. what if you don't like cream cheese and jelly sandwiches? what if you are into pb&j?
The real key? Once on Netflix, they get pushed as a new release over the recommendation mechanism. So, heard of or not, they get exposure and an audience quickly.
MySpace has nothing like that to push unsigned bands, except to offer a sales/download link from all pages using the song.
seems to me that myspace DOES have something useful, in that these bands get exposure from every myspace user who adds their song on their myspace page. The sale mechanism that will, presumably, be linked into this song is an amazing way to push underground bands. in addition, they DO have a featured band that rotates regularly on the homepage. i think this is a great idea for myspace, with all the bands that are already registered there it makes perfect sense. they have an edge up on itunes in that they have a user community that is already in tact and already using their site to chat with friends and find new bands. its a perfect amalgamation
i think its important to note that people need to actually BUY the stock for the change in price to happen. it's not as simple as spammers who get money via clickthroughs or something like that. this requires you to research a stock, goto your online trading site and actually purchase shares.
if anyone is at fault here, it's the people who are reading this spam, interpreting it as fact and purchasing these stocks.
you cant stop spammers and you DEFINITELY can't stop stupidity...
To clarify what this very eloquent yet seemingly retarded contributor previously wrote: The director clearly knows what he is talking about. Test subjects were injected with parts of the virus that don't cause infection so as to NOT INFECT THEM!!! with the virus. Instead, they were given non-infectuous parts of it so that the body would be able to recognize the virus if it were to come into contact with the system later. This is the whole point of vaccines.
I am willing to bet these patients would be somewhat unhappy if they were given the infectuous portions of the disease.
too bad most musicians already max out the number of concerts they can put on (think transportation time between shows). add in the price that venues have to pay to rent/power/book the gigs and you begin to understand why tickets cost what they do. i'm not saying they don't make a generous profit from $60 dollar dave matthews tickets. there are just too many players involved in setting up concerts and they all want their share of the profit.
that's why we should all listen to death metal, it's much more affordable.

and if "they" did, does it seem likely they would be able to just pick up the spaceship and wheel it somewhere else for liftoff?
these guys came up with much better plans than googling for passwords... just take the whole darn thing!
