effectively distribute feature films online and promote them using social media such as Facebook and Twitter
This was written about music in the days of Napster, and again when Myspace was popular. Those changed distribution to some degree but they didn't do a lot for indie musicians. The 1000s of garage bands connected to the internet have yet to put a dent in the old guard. Instead of the major labels and WalMart its still the major labels and Apple.
Even people who don't want to pay for music prefer to pirate as opposed to download free indie material. This stays true even in the digital stores. Apple makes a handful of songs free every week, but they don't displace the label offerings on the popularity list.
No doubt faster downloads will change distribution to some degree, but I suspect independent artists are way down the RIAA/MPAA list of things to fear.
The pistol in the video is striker fired, so no hammer. I don't know S&Ws pistol well enough to know if it has an external safety.
It doesn't matter. If you leave your gun on a table and forget about it you've done something wrong. On a deployment we had a guy leave a cocked and locked 1911 in a ruck sitting on the ground. A dog, trying to get in the bag, knocked it off safe and fired it, in the space of about 2 minutes.
The article doesn't have any numbers in it, but if you put the difference between obese and not for 10 year old kids at 10 pounds their intake would need to be within 10 calories per day of one another, to be 'equal'.
That is impossible, of course. Like saying you don't think overfilling your gas tank has nothing to do with how much gas you put in, but its because you didn't drive enough.
If I recall correctly the comments in that story were largely positive. But this was before the bust, so you couldn't really tell anyone in the middle of it anything. People who claim to have been part of the boom and also claim they knew it was going bust are lying about one part of both. Every single person of the hundreds and hundreds I met while working at startup(s) thought a million dollar payday was just around the corner.
I think some of Slashdot's archives have comments stripped away for some reason. I doubt it is to hide negativity. That was a time when people were asking Malda what kind of car a millionare geek drives....that sort of thing...geeks embraced the trapping of temporary wealth just like everyone else did.
That link is being gone over on Edward Tufte's site, although I wouldn't expect Tufte to have any love for anything Microsoft.
I played with a prototype windows 7 phone about a month ago and they are using the paradigm of making the desktop larger than the screen almost everywhere and it is incredibly annoying.
Apart from "News for Nerds", the long ago abandonded mission statement, why limit this to programmers? Most all other occupations face the same challenges and pitfalls.
You can be grdauated from mechanic's school and either go to work for someone else's garage and enjoy the benefits of that position, or start your own and accept the attendant risks.
It is indeed expensive, but Smithville is at least stepping up to offer service in places that were stuck with satellite. I switch late last year. Had to subsidize the fiber run as I am well back from the road, but they were great to work with.
The testosterone levels found could not have occurred naturally. There was also evidence of exogenous testosterone.
Flandis made all sorts of claims, most of which involve someone tampering with the samples. Maybe that happened, but he wasn't able to show that to the satisfaction of the judges, both French and American. If we expect to keep banned substances out of cycling we have to have some means of testing for them, and what we have now are best means we've devised so far. We either accept their decisions or we might as well open up the sport to whatever drugs an athlete might want to take.
The way to combat this is to kill the monetization component. The way to do that is to beat Bill to the punch and give all your data to everyone before he does, so they have to motivation to buy it.
The mistrust is with politicians crafting effective firearms regulations. The last great hurrah of that crowd banned bayonet lugs. Seriously. Banning things is about as ugly as it gets for modern western governments, and they should take a little more care than that.
I shoot a whole lot. Recreationally, competitively, I hunt, I often carry a pistol. I'm as pro-2A as anyone. But I don't want people who've demonstrated they can't be trusted with guns to have guns, and I'm all for government taking steps to make that happen. What I don't want is 'the shoulder thing that goes up' type grandstanding. It is provably ineffective. Gun crime statistics before the 1994 AWB, during, and after it sunset, show that it had no impact.
We shouldn't apply this just to firearms, it should be demanded of all legislation. If it can't be shown to be effective it should be thrown out.
How big is your laptop? Or how small are the planes you are flying in, that you can't unfold the thing while inside them? Two weeks ago I used a 15" laptop in the cockpit of a DeHavilland Beaver, and it worked out fine.
I thought I might like a tablet if one showed up with decent battery life. Apple got that right, but I still don't feel like I need anything between my cell phone and 15" laptop. But if I somehow couldn't figure out how to use the latter on an airplane, I might change my mind.
I'd have left them out too, as punishment for putting mini-displayports on their MBPs years ago but still leaving their 30" monitor with two DVI inputs. Topping that off by selling a wonky cable for $99 as a workaround puts the issue beyond debate.

I believe I've found the source of the taste drain.
Exactly.

Who do you vote for who supports your positions?
Here is how this went down:
Not all guns have hammers or safeties, just so you know
then...
the .380 caliber Smith & Wesson that (according to TFA) the child shot herself with certainly does.
then me...
The pistol in the video is striker fired, so no hammer
you show up...
you still have to pull the action back for the first shot
Yes, I'm well aware the pistol doesn't self chamber upon insertion of a mag and I don't see where I claimed it could do otherwise.
The pistol in the video is striker fired, so no hammer. I don't know S&Ws pistol well enough to know if it has an external safety.

They probably aren't filled equally.

I don't think food has anything to do with it

I don't want smelly old people in my bar or apartment complex - nobody over 40 allowed. Why does this bring a lawsuit, and the former does not?
Because old people tend to have more money than young people?

Wow, you don't expect to find people with Premier Ultimate support contacts on an FOSS geared site.
eh?
You Canadians keep your hands off our clock.
If you are putting securiblanks to people's heads you have no business teaching courses involving securiblanks.
Not for everyone.

This one word invalidates not only your entire post, but all of your other posts as well. Here at Slashdot and elsewhere.
Also, if your children have any posts those are invalidated as well.

Mark Driver agrees.
Or, what should also piss you off, is you using a strong password and the web site storing it clear text on a vulnerable SQL server.
You screwed it up too, you know.
Maybe you should dash off a nasty email to his mom for inconveniencing you..
