Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince


Recommended Posts

I hope they don't downplay Harry and Ginny's relationship. I haven't seen a single shot with the two of them in either of those trailers.

And that's definitely not the Slughorn I was imagining. Slughorn's supposed to be more jolly-looking. This guy looks perpetually frightened of something.

Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince is the most anticipated movie of 2009, according to a poll from online ticketing website MovieTickets.com.

The sixth instalment in the wizard franchise emerged in first place after 4,000 film fans were questioned on the what they were most looking forward to seeing next year.

Not sure how reliable this poll is - about as reliable as any poll I suppose, but it has to be good news for this film! Just hope it doesn't disappoint

Nice.

I'm still annoyed that they delayed the release till next year, HP to me should be a Christmas realise film, it just, I dunno, suits the mood better.

Yeah I always know its christmas when Harry Potter is coming out but no this year we have vampires that fangirls are lusting over...

I think they've ****ed off quite a lot of die hard fans by doing it. It'll be interesting to see if it's the box office success they're hoping it will be.

the order of the phoenix movie was alright but i hated the 4th one. hopefully the 6th one will be great. the harry potter series is kinda getting a little boring these days. is it just me or is the series becoming a little gay?

If you read the books you will know how it proceeds.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince receives PG-rating in US.

Despite comments from the cast and crew that Half-Blood Prince would be the "darkest" of the films released, the Motion Picture Association of America has announced today that the sixth movie has received a PG rating for "scary images, some violence, language and mild sensuality" in the US.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be out July 17, 2009

[S]

Either they toned down those scenes or they bribed the MPAA to lower the rating because of the massive amount of the money they plan to make on this movie.

Anyway, I still remember those kids leaving the cinema terrified and crying (literally) towards the end in Goblet of Fire. Whoever thought that movie was suitable for children 7+ was on crack or something.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
