If you are interested here is a dirty bootleg of the new Star Wars trailer: here.

I don't care how you moderate me. I'm not just promoting my site or trollin'. I think you might actually be interested in this link.

Opps. Sorry, link here.

Here's a fun game for you time wasters! Judge your level of internet fame by counting how many letters you have to type before Google suggests your name.

Example:
Type "t" first option is Tara Reid (Thanks to her freshly doctored boobs.).
Type "tom c" and you get Tom Cruise (possibly the greatest actor ever!!!!! we love you tom)
Try "bill" and you get Gates and Clinton.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's big ass shos up at "arn." Because he's famous.
Try "joe lu" and you got my name because I'm FAMOUS!! I love me!

Feast on this geekboys! This site reporst that Sean William Scott is gonna play ash!

We're have 3 people trying to maintain a live link on this site: http://www.dtheatre.com/read.php?sid=2782

It can be seen there now.

Batman fans check out this page... tons o' Batman Begins News

In addition to a new title for Episode III, San Diego Comic-Con attendees were treated to a Comic-Con-only debut of THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY teaser trailer this weekend. Don't Panic! If you want to see it you won't have to go further than your desk. Check out the teaser here AVI and Real Media formats.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy starring Mos Def as Ford Perfect is expected to be released in the US in early June 2005.

There ya go, sucker. Just google for Live Action Pac Man, you'll find it no trouble. Doesn't seem like there's anything very juicy yet

Well, a judge held that source code constitutes free speech... is this what he was talking about?

Here too

Her name was Gloria Foster, she passed last year at 64

I should have gotten mine this morning, but Software Etc. screwed me over. Apparently, they presold too many units (I had a 5 month old reservation), and they couldn't supply them. Sony even discouraged retailers from preselling units. Anyone know how best to take action against such places? I'd love to know.

I even wrote a mean article about this on Digital Theatre

For those of you that don't know here the PHP Manual is it's: HERE also use the errata it's very convenient to see other peoples examples. Even emailing them at times is helpful I have about 5 people email me a week with questions and I always try to help them.

And finally what there is a lot of open source code in PHP that is incredibly usefull. My own for an example. My Most popular one is: Jack's Formmail.php a PHP clone of Matt Wright's Formmail..

In a response to what someone said earlier, this movie will be very great, even if it isn't interactive. Most of the interactivity of the final fantasy games is just random battles, and other essential (directed) fights. You could in no way alter the way the story was going to end up(ie, kill a main character, fall in love with the wrong teammate). Now, if any of you(and I'm sure there are many) have played/seen Final Fantasy VIII, you'll agree that the story(yes, along with the fabulous animation)really made the game. It's story line is, by far the best of any recent game that I've played. Square Productions pride themselves on the good stories they produce. It's because of the story lines that the Final Fantasy series is still around(and will stay around for a long while) and popular. They will not disapoint.

Along with the Lord Of the Rings and Titan AE, this is one movie I can't wait to come out.

What has become of the slashdot we used to love?

What has become of the slashdot we used to love?

Digital Theatre posted that like two months ago here. And geeknews posted it before them.

Is this the appropriate time to drop a shameless plug for your weblog? :) I remeber reading some time ago that perl was chosen because of its efficiency with all the string manipulation and stuff while being easy to develop at the same time. I've found that php has worked wonderfully for my purposes (although I get nowhere near even a fraction of the traffic that /. gets) and that it's much more easy to develop in. There seems to be a function for everything in web development, and it has a mostly perl compatible regexp function (and a few of its own). I've tried php4 (for speed tests), but it broke a few of the regexp functions that we had in place. So, to get to the point, what do the people feel is the best language for writing such a weblog in terms of efficiency and development time?

And here's my shameless plug - Digital Theatre News

to late for that to happen they already have become too mainstream and/or political.. you'll notice it when you visit sites like Dtheatre.com and wonko etc... the news is still out there but it is just being thourghourly filtered. news also gets posted slower then ever and on some days they post shit to get somthing new up on the site.. about 80% of what I now read on slashdot has been on one of the many geek sites.. and It is my opinion that this is all a result of commercialization

Well What is profoundly strange is that Q3arena emailed me (I wrote the first review on Q3Ademo that was out there click here to read it) and announced that not everyone is able to acces their site at this point and to please promote their mirrors "untill the situation is further solved" which proves for me once again that linux servers are more relaible? Well maybe I think it just proves they don't have a very good Sysadmin.

Those screenshots aren't from the thing that just came out. Take a look at these. They show a lot of the new features and fun stuff.

I stayed up all night playing it just to bring a detailed review and too many screenshots. You can read about it here We've gotten a lot of cool comments from voodoo extreme visitors too.

Netscape Communications, Inc. announced 1999-11-09 that its much anticipated Netscape Navigator 5.0 will be available for trial later this month, the final version coming in February of 2000. With a beta version of Internet Explorer 5.5 coming soon, what will happen to Netscape? Is it too late? Is it the end of Netscape and esentially the browser wars? While we all may appreciate the concept of not having to deal with making a site compatible with both browsers, is it truly worth it? Without competition will IE become worse? Or will
someone create a new and much more powerful browser (Opera?) Story taken from here!
-------------------------------------------

These guys post a lot of stories that slashdot does before /. and they don't get anywhere near the traffic that they deserve. anyways, I'm dammiting because I read this already at that site.

Freshmeat does run on PHP3 as well as other sites such as Digital Theatre. Don't get me wrong I respect Larry Wall and all the perl team (and Randal L. Schwartz author of stuff I read :)) but....

While Perl is far better for parsing and regular expressions PHP3 is much nicer and closer to C than perl also it is a server side languague which makes it noticably faster and the database intergration is great compare it to the database intergration of Cold Fusion.

But I am not the only one that thinks that this is a great languague the estimated amount of servers using PHP should hit 1,000,000 this November which is a dramatic increase from the less than 80,000 when I started using it June 1998.

Conclusion: Don't stop using Perl but use PHP3 as well you will find them both usefull for different situations, if you visit dtheatre.com a good 20%+ of the first page is Perl generated and the rest is PHP3.

All too often I see these poor people thinking they have made a first post. tsk! There are so many news sites where you could make a first post and be sure about it. Hell, you can make a first post on a two week old story at http://dtheatre.com

That is not entirly accurate I get lots of traffic on my site http://www.dtheatre.com and I have no problem I have been featured on Freshmeat and other high traffic places and all I was running was a 233Mhz system and I withstood all the hits and passed with flying colors I also had http://blairewitch.com hosted on the same box which was getting 6000+ hit's a day while I was getting freshmeated. I also used to have a dual Xeon system up there and the only differnce is in the database retreival with mySQL. But the RAM will make a noticable difference as well as the connection (I have DS3).

If you were to put linux on a G4 I can just imagine how impressive your framerate would be gee it's a supercomputer on a chip, with a sustained performance of over one gigaflop. It has a lot of fun things that Intel-based computers have, like UDMA/66 drives, 2X AGP, and a 100MHz Front side bus. It also has a 1MB L2 cache that runs at half the core speed of the CPU, which runs at 500MHz for now. That's it, If I can run linux quake on there, I'm getting one. Well, and if I ever get any money, too.

Digital Theatre News

But If you want a mac go G4 all the way.. (does it run linux?)

Digital Theatre News
-------------------------------------------

I know from inside sources who I used to work with that Intel will be producing some sort of small gadget related to the palm but including cellphone/tV? that runs on a modified Linux Kernel.

Well I wouldn't count on it most "prefabricated" computers have cheap parts thrown in and are over priced. The best bet is still to build your own computer from parts that you can trust.

and now time for my blatant plug

Come on give him a break I mean at least for the fact that he got laid and he got his few minutes fame for doing Jack Shit as a script kiddie hell when has slashdot ever interviewed you???.

I remember reading that there wouldn't be any more posts about geeks in space on the normal news. Not that I have anything against it; I listened to one, and I was very entertained. And once again, I shall use this opportunity to drop a shameless plug:
