Have the/. editors ever read any comic books? Batman is a normal guy. He just has a fancy suit and a lot of gadgets and training. It's no contest.
I always thought that was his appeal. He's just a normal human (at least physically) without the benefit of being an alien or mutated. At his core,
he's really just a very rich vigilante.
Yeah, and KIA cars cost $8,000 and a mid-level Mercedes is around $45,000.
For the record, KIA is a Korean company and KIA
cars (at least the ones made in Korea) aren't
cheap because of labor costs (labor in Korea is
much more expensive than in China).
Jesse Helms? I never would have thought a High Ranking Republican would get involved like this- and on the side of the smaller guy.

I hope it works, but it would take a lot of dedication on their part. I would consider moving to the selected state after the plan is already underway. We can have a Quebec in the US!
I remember reading about a series of events during the middle part of the 19th century that leads me to believe the federal government might not let this happen.
It's just of matter of time before low cost, high quality shuttles with great fuel economy become available. This is just the kick in the pants that the American shuttle industry needs to start
being innovative.
Elementary chaos theory tells us that all robots will eventually turn against their masters and run amok, in an orgy of blood and the kicking and the biting with the metal teeth and the hurting and shoving.
Actually the studio gets to decide what is released, and other editors get at the film after the director.
Some directors have enough clout to do the final cut on their films (Kubrick, Scorsese, and Woody
Allen come to mind and, I imagine Speilberg and George Lucas do the final cut of their films).
IIRC, Jackson did the final cut of the theatrical release of The Fellowship of the Ring, but he was contractually obligated to deliver a film that was less than three hours long.
Suspend a cinder brick (or other heavy object) from the ceiling with a rope. Pull it back
until it just touches your forehead and let go so it swings like a pendulum. It you don't move, it
will just touch your forehead on the return swing
(or a little short of it). Listen to the gasps of horror from those in your audience who think your head is about to be smashed.
There were some tracks discovered in the Paluxy River bed that had man tracks and dinosaur tracks side by side, but of course you will not hear about this from the secular science establishment, which would just as soon cover it up.
Probably because it was determined long ago that they were not man tracks.
By the way, I've always wondered- why don't we have a moon cam (maybe we do?)? Or some telescoping equipment on the moon to peer even further into our universe? How hard would it be to put a camera on the moon and have it beam pictures to a nearby satellite or whatever?
There really wouldn't be any advantage over an optical telescope in earth orbit (except maybe having stable ground).
but I can't imagine anything like Word or Access being slapped together ad-hoc.
I seem to remember reading accounts of the development of early versions of Windows (1-3) that indicate that the code was pretty much slapped together just to get something on the shelves.

But Saddam Hussein was one of the good guys when he used poison gas. In fact he was one of the good guys almost up to the day he invaded Kuwait.
That's like saying Moe was the smartest stooge...
So? I do that all the time in my car.
One should be carefule loading Finnegans Wake on a computer. It's a hell of a resource hog: being that it's implemented as a huge infinite loop.

I dunno... It seems to work for Microsoft.
I totally agree...anyway, how the heck could you make a website accessible to the blind???
Very simple - make sure all the information on a web site is available as text, then a text to voice synthesizer can easily read it.
There are lots of algorithms out there that seem to be multiples faster than quicksort in daily use.
For example: IIRC, A bubble sort appears to be efficient if the data being sorted is already mostly sorted. But on mostly random data, it sucks.

Right, and in steps Roomba to clean up the mess! You have just created the perfect marketing strategy for these guys!
Maybe I can get a job in Microsoft's marketing department (Shudderrrr!).
Don't they realize the danger?

If they're willing to use Wordstar, they may as well just use vi.
I wrote my masters thesis with vi and nroff in 1987. It looked better than those written with Wordstar.
I find that the majority of the educated population has a better command of English than most Americans.
This has been my experience doing business there. English is also used as common language between people whose native languages are different.

It was long ago determined that we cannot say for sure what caused the tracks.
Yes, but one can be reasonably sure they weren't caused by a man.
Basically, though, creationists have ceded the issue.
But creationists still cite them as evidence, even those associated with the ICR (honesty never being one of their strong points).

Yeah at least he wasnt cross-eyed(Kilmer) or in the biggest disgrace in recent hollywood(Clooney in BM&R)
To be fair, the script for BM&R was so lousy that nobody could have pulled it off. One can only blame Clooney for accepting the job.
Are you kidding? Do you know just how much the earth's atmosphere distorts light?
Yes I do, that's why I said in earth orbit.

Much of Footfall was a rehash of Lucifer's Hammer.
