TINSTAAFL

In high school physics, I really hated doing force and vector problems, so I wrote a program on my TI-83 that could do it. My physics teacher saw what I was doing, and shrugged. He figured that if I were clever enough to write a program to do the work, I could use it on the test.

Contract them to deliver a custom build of their software. The minimum you can spend on their custom work is $5000. Have them deliver a build with a "Hello, Company X" startup message, and no other changes.

Audiobooks, my friend. All my time in the car is spent listening to audiobooks or podcasts. It's a great, safe way to recover otherwise wasted time sitting in traffic.

It IS a bargain for the taxpayer. The citizens of Provo pay a one time $30 hook up fee, and then they get a free fiber optic connection from Google. The rest of us should be so lucky. I bet the service is great in Switzerland, and I'm going to venture a guess as to why: you're entire country is ten thousand square miles smaller than West Virginia, our 40th largest state.

Good fucking luck.

It's really jarring to use someone else's computer to browse the web. I'm running Opera with an extensive content blocker, and whitespace removal. I forget how loud the vanilla web is.

Could steganography be the answer?

Have we all forgotten that, much like Star Trek movies, every other version of Windows sucks? 2000 was great, ME was terrible, XP was great, Vista was terrible, 7 is great, 8 is terrible. The next iteration will probably drop all that live tile bullshit and we'll be back on track.

Issue 11 began with heterosexual sex, and after that, included the line, "You're exact words were, 'shoot it in my twat.'" Subtle!

This isn't even remotely close to true. Movies can live or die by current trends. It's hard enough to predict what people are going to want in a year, let alone X amount of time it takes to render effects on an old PC.

This is a nightmarish fantasy. I want to connect emotionally with the people in the movie. Even in some explosion-filled Michael Bay movie, I'd rather root for a flesh-and-blood generic action guy than some sort of simulation.

While it can make for interesting experiments, one thing we shouldn't automate is artistic endeavors.

Yes, brothers! Our faith will carry us into the stars! For the God Emperor of Mankind! FOR THE IMPERIUM!!

When's the last time you were off line for any significant amount of time?

You don't seem to understand that the theaters are at the mercy of the studios.
