Oh yeah, that's right- I *have* seen this movie once before. Or maybe it's twice.

I'm confused, was that a joke?

It's a parody of the "battle of wits" scene from The Princess Bride.

I just noticed that, according to IMDb Gilliam even was slated to direct a Good Omens film that never happened.

The gnomes books have already been done, truckers at least.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105646/

I found it rather nice, and a very good adaptation IMHO. I saw it on TV before knowing it was related to terry pratchett and first thing I though about it was that it reminded me of the discworld style.. :)

According to Wikipedia the entire gnomes trilogy is supposed to be made into a movie by dreamworks, but can't find anything else about it.

Actually, in this case you want Captain Picard instead.

"Liebe Freunde Freien Wissens, durch eine vor dem Amtsgericht Berlin-Charlottenburg am 17. Januar 2006 erwirkte einstweilige Verfugung wurde dem Verein Wikimedia Deutschland - Gesellschaft zur Forderung Freien Wissens e.V. untersagt, von dieser Domain auf die deutschsprachige Ausgabe der freien Enzyklopadie Wikipedia (wikipedia.org) weiterzuleiten."

This roughly translates as, "Dear friends and comrades, Wikipedia has been shut down as of January 17th, 2006 due to a court injunction by the government of Germany, due to extensive support by Wikipedia for the Jews and the state of Israel".

This type of support was made illegal in Germany in 1939 by the Berlin Pact, signed by Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin. Angela Merkel, chancellor of Germany has announced that this injunction will not be lifted until Wikipedia stops supporting "Die Juden".

"We also feel this injunction came in due time, as Wikipedia is being overrun by articles pertaining to non-notable blogs with completely useless information (or "blogs"), which are also illegal in the Great Republic of Germany. We are pleased to receive the support of the Gay Niggers, as they have already declared war on the blogs, and know how to defeat this communist ideal before it can become a threat to freedom," said Mrs. Merkel.

About Germany

"Bundesrepublik Deutschland" was founded before the middle ages by the Visigoths. The government was non-notable per above until the late 1930's, when Germany underwent an extremely positive and successful cultural revolution. Today, Germany is a beacon for free economy and a land without Jews.

Anyway, I don't where these scientists get their patience, New Horizons will take 12 years! Sheesh!

Heh. I worked on New Horizons. Let's just say that science is a cruel mistress.

p.s. I stole that phrase from the movie Big Blue.

Pixar is so much more than just John Lasseter.

The last film Lasseter wrote and directed was Toy Story 2.

Brad Bird wrote and directed The Incredibles
Andrew Staton wrote and directed Finding Nemo
Peter Docter directed and Andrew Staton wrote Monsters Inc.

While Lasseter served as Executive Producer on these films that role is mainly production management and not creative. I'm not saying Lasseter isn't talented, he is. Its just that Pixar's success is the union of great management, R&D and arists.

You know it's all been downhill since this classic was released!

This sounds like the plotlie to "Salvage-1", a 70's era SciFi series. See http://imdb.com/title/tt0078681/

All we need is someone to "builds a space ship from his scrap pile in order to retreive valuable parts left on the moon" and in space by Astronauts, the kind of thing you might find in a tv show.

Nay, New Horizons should have been outfitted with weapons to destroy the older probes before they return to wreak destruction.

Maybe they can get William Shatner next. The guys from Free Enterprise succeeded in that.

That movie rules. One of those films where you don't have to be a Trekkie to enjoy. Supposedly there's a sequel in the works, but IMDB has it as "announced" for like 2 years.

Anyone know what the ecosystem in those caves (and in caves in general) feeds on? What's at the bottom of the food chain? (since there's no photosynthesis...)

Discone antenna?
http://www.spaziolink.com/wi-fi/Discone.jpg

Sounds like the Coneheads were ahead of their time.

To get serious for a moment, maybe the wireless industry should invest more computer time/money on 'evolving' antenna designs.

I don't think anyone would have designed that antenna in their wildest dream.

I heard that George Takei was hiding himself not from just the ignorance and hatred toward homosexuals in the sixties and seventies, but he thought those who employed him would also be prejudicial and deny him opportunities... also more gossip was that he had had sex with Pat Morita in some U.S. Prison camp for suspected Japanese in World War 2... The former is most likely true, the latter, most likely a fib... the only credibility is the dates in the IMDB profiles and Google information/Gossip.

Yet what does the racially hyper-sensitive black-studies major in this country do ? He drops his "slave name" and takes on a Muslim name. It's crazy, a symptom of profound historical ignorance, ingratitude, and misdirected anger.

Precisely, what is it do you find wrong about a person who wants to change his name in order to embrace a religion and a cultural identity that was destroyed by enslavement?

I mean really, I can understand being antagonized by racial quotas. But you're attacking an individual, by calling him crazy, ignorant, ungrateful (hooboy, don't get me started on that one, Wonderbread), and enraged, all because he wants to put a psychological distance between himself, and a culture that basically labels him a nigger, and prejudges him based on his melatonin content. Really, how the fuck does changing one's name inflict hardship on YOUR life?

Given your family background, I really don't understand why you have such a problem with black whiners, compared to the Southern Crackers still expressing outrage over the North crushing the South, and having the temerity to insist white people should not be favored in employment or legal situations. (After all, "Its not discrimination if White people are better than the Negroes...")

Because of those rebel flag waving neo-Nazis, we have a Chimp in the White House that doesn't mind subverting the Constitution of the United States that your ancestors fought valiantly for. Losing New Orleans so we can invade Iraq and have brave patriots die from IEDs every couple of days, and the clueless paragons of stupidity not seeing how it is sucking the economic life out of this country. And get a Supreme Court Justice who is a piece of work, and will make life here unrecognisable from Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia, all in the name of public "safety" and a unitary executive.

Affects me a hell lot more that some loudmouth dark skinned losers whining over something no one gives a damn about anymore. And because of nineteen whackjobs, the general public thinks every schmuck from the Middle East is a terrorist. And yet, you retards can't even come to the same retarded conclusion when some white guys blow up a gov't building in OK, or blow up a bomb at the Olymics, assassinate doctors or scientists, or other adolescents at high schools.

And why shouldn't they whine? They listen to the same piece of crap media that tells you lefty, racial grievance-mongers are running amok. They just come to a different conclusion, that's all. Face it, whether its Rush Limbaugh, Al Sharpton, Hillary Clinton, Alan Keyes, Tavis Smiley, or Charlie Rose, they're all playing you for the retards you all are.

If you want to still pretend you're open-mineded and fair, and get an idea of how you appear to other people's eyes, you really should checkout Crash.

"Who is the Greatest Man Alive?" - If you ask Gary Niger, he'll tell you it is most definitely Osama Bin Laden.

The Gay Nigger Association of America (GNAA) announced today further victory in their current program to bring about total breakdown of the AOL customer relation system.

AOL Corporate Policy has been changed after GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) special operative Gary Niger's constant abuse of their "secret question" program designed to provide a futile illusion of security for the mongoloids and sodomites that comprise their customer base.

The "custom question" option, allowing users to create their own question, has been removed following the efforts of Niger and other fearsome Gay Niggers from the GNAA's top secret "Black Ops" divison.

With the removal of this option, trolls are now forced to use pre-approved AOL "secret question" options when signing up for fraudlent accounts for the purpose of downloading gay pornography and meeting up with the clandestine "homo thug" underground.

"I don't know why it changed, exactly. Corporate HQ didn't tell us," said Tracy, an AOL representative. "It happened two or three days ago."

Tracy was unavailable for further comment, as she was masturbating furiously under her desk - claiming that "Ten guys were on the phone and (she) had to take them all on."

An AOL executive, speaking under the condition of anonymnity, said the change in policy came after widespread employee unrest, culminating in an incident of mass sodomy taking place in the Ogden, Utah call center.

Gary Niger and other members of the GNAA "Black Ops" division continue to use the "custom question" trolling technique with various punjabis in the Bangalore, India call center - who haven't gotten the memo yet.

Meanwhile, GNAA Command is working on the creation of new methods of trolling to work within the confines of this new standard, still flush with victory.

Nick Berg's head was unavailable for comment at the time of this release.

How about instead of trying to prevent children from being able to access material that the government (not society or the parents) deems inappropriate, perhaps they should consider funding a program to teach parents how to talk with (not just lecture) their kids, and perhaps monitor what they are doing online. My child will definitely not have unrestricted access to the internet when she is old enough to use the computer on her own. This will be for her protection, for my (computer's) protection, and for my whole family's protection. She is 4 years old, and she knows our address, our phone number, and the name of our city and state. (The problem with this is that she does not yet realize there are people who she should not give this information to.)

This has been said over and over again. Instead of relying on the religiously-minded government (can this really even be denied?) to TRY to prevent inappropriate material from being seen by children, lets get the parents to take on the responsibility that they should have had from the start. Should you blame HBO or one of the other uncensored premium channels because you let your 8-year old watch "Casino" on TV and now they're cursing like Nicky Santoro? Do we really need the government to decide what is appropriate? Would they have said I shouldn't have been allowed to watch Friday the 13th when I was young? My parents thought I was mature enough for it, and considering how I am 2 decades later, I'm inclined to agree with them. Granted every child is different, which is exactly why it should be left up to the parents. If the parents don't/can't/won't take on this responsibility, they should have thought about that before having children. Unplanned pregnancy you argue? Grow the hell up and deal with it. Its the parents responsibility to decide whats good for their kids and what isn't. Some laws exist to protect children because of stupid or ignorant parents. We don't need Mr. Bush telling my child that she can't watch Spongebob Squarepants on TV because some fundamentalist group said he was homosexual. That's not the issue here, but how much farther would it have to go to get there? Not very far.

Does the rent-a-coder have an obligation to look beyond the color of his client's money, and into the content of his character?

Sounds like the Clerks argument about the contract workers that were killed during the construction of the second death star.

Anyway, as far as I'm concerned I wouldn't do some punk kid's homework, no matter the price. If he/she can't/won't do the work, there is no way I'm going to put my job at risk letting these leeches skate by in their degree program and try to take my job when they are done with school. On top of that it gives the field a bad name when graduates who are supposed to know how to do the work simply can't. It defets the purpose of me working hard and getting my degree when some asshole can just pay a few bucks and get a degree.

I dunno. I heard from a very reputable source that he just double-fists hot-dogs all day ... that doesn't sound like eating well to me.

You might want to look at the list of distributors for one of his films before believing that. Michael Moore may hold the conviction that people should be free to copy and view his films for free, but I doubt Sony (or the others) would support his beliefs by cutting their revenues. Fahrenheit 9/11 from imdb tells the real story.

...or this guy.

Before anyone forms an opinion they should watch a movie called "Cheaters". http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0218094/
It made me think differently about cheating.

Jmax (GNAP) - Miami, Florida, USA - Recent findings from the GNAAU (Gay Nigger Association of America University) prove that the famed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was, indeed, a homosexual. Dr. rhoppenrath, the head of Gay Nigger studies at the GNAAU, reports that "I am not shocked at all.

"These findings were how I, and my colleagues, had originally hypothesized. We have determined that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., of civil rights fame, was not only a gay nigger, but a gay nigger of great magnitude. His homosexuality and niggerdom exceeded that of any average gay nigger.

"Many findings have proved our theory. Our research began in 1998, during the trial to determine his cause of death." The professor went on to explain how he, and his colleagues, were requested to perform an autopsy on King in order to determine a cause of death.

"Our first clue was that his anus was irregularly torn and bruised. From there, we hypothesized that he took nigger dong inside him on a regular basis. We then took a DNA sample, which showed an enormously large similarity to that of lesser primates, known commonly as apes. The DNA sample also showed that he was stricken with GRIDS, the leading killer of Gay Niggers everywhere. At this point, my colleague, head of the Law Department at GNAAU, dj28, investigated further."

In a classified report by dj28, released publicly today, The Gay Nigger Investigative Unit reported that not only had they determined that King had a harem of Gay Niggers, but that they had met and spoke with several of them. Only to learn that the rest had died of GRIDS, and that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, was a great Gay Nigger; Possibly the greatest of all gay Niggers.

She may have been thinking of an old movie from 1957 -- Desk Set! Where a computer completely replaces a research department and answers similar questions.

Anything anyone needs to know about computers they can get from watching Tron.

I, for one welcome our new computer overlords.

The point of the film was that poorly run or uneccessary meetings are a morale suck for employees, and many suggestions are offered during the movie on how to better run meetings.

One vignette I remember: John Cleese's character calls the usual weekly meeting and there is nothing to talk about. He is later asked why the meeting was even called with nothing on the agenda, to which he replies, "But it's the weekly meeting! We always have to have the weekly meeting!"

Ironically, both companies I worked for continued the practise of too many uneccessary and poorly run meetings. I guess upper management must have slept through the movie! :-)

Then for the CGI fans there are Appleseed and Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
