Please kill "Saw."

Serialized torture porn. Erg.
A teratoma is not just a large tumor. It's a tumor that forms as the result of absorbing your twin while in utero. When these types of tumors are removed, doctor's find them filled with hair, teeth, finger nails and other keratin type products.

So in other words, this will be "Fly meets Rosemary's Baby meets The Unborn".
Even knowing they could probably get paid to do this elsewhere, these programmers still spent the time to try and do it. Whether it was for the money, the prestige or just the challenge, they had to know the ultimate outcome.

I think there are many people out there who still do stuff for the challenge of it.

Of course, $1 million is not too shabby of a pay day for completing the challenge. And wouldn't signing the code over to Netflix for money technically be a sale? Definitely a chunk on the resume.

From the article:

"the faux trailer"

I can't figure out if you thought that was real or just didn't like the sketch...
How about all the creepy Hitler clone-kids in "Boys from Brazil?" Same kind of shiver inducing Damien glare.
I'm thankful for having a job in a time when so many are losing theirs. Also I'm thankful for my huge grill that I'm going to use to burn my turkey this year...
I have the crossword app on my iPhone and did three on my last plane trip.
As soon as they do this for Spanish, I'm all over it. I would even pay if it had some kind of medical module. It would help me at my job and I may even be able to be reimbursed for it. Imagine getting paid to game...!
First---thanks for introducing me to the word "obscurantist." I've never seen that word before and, after looking it up, I like it.

I read "The Road" shortly after it came out and read it in one sitting. I found it utterly gripping, and like the previous poster, I ended up in tears at the end. Like the author of this post, I found the lack of punctuation, the short words and the "obscurantism (I probably just used that wrong) to be a bit on the irritating side at first but soon fell in love with it. I was quite pleased with the choice of Viggo as the role of the man. I felt that McCarthy gave a lot of depth to his characters, despite the sparse writing, and Viggo seems to be the perfect actor to do this character justice.

As an aside, I just started reading "No Country For Old Men," before I see the movie, and McCarthy writes it the same way. It seems a lot easier to pick up the second time.
"Let me just say first that, I consider Bo Welch's The Cat in the Hat (2003) the worst movie I've seen in my more than ten years of reviewing movies"

Wow...they must not assign you to many movies. You're starting to read like Mick LaSalle. That's not a compliment.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
