Given the size of the drive(s) in the average TiVo, it would make more sense to keep a local copy and rsync it periodically. The entire database is only a gig.

I can tell you it's still bad even if you understand Esperanto.

I sometimes listen to Radio Polonia in Esperanto, and I can understand most of what it is said. In contrast, Incubus's pronounciation is terrible!!! Unintelligible!

Many Esperantists are proud because there is already one movie filmed completely in Esperanto. I'm not so happy about it. That movie sucks!

Play a game of Age of Mythology or any such game, and study real world history, power comes and power goes...

So you're saying play more games and learn about real world history?

Yeah, right.

Ages ago, I was surprised to learn that the definition of "economics" wasn't "the study of money" but rather the study of how people network their wants and needs. The definition I've come up with online is "the branch of social science that deals with the production and distribution and consumption of goods and services and their management". It always kept me wondering how an economy could exist without the use of money.

The thing about money is that, beyond the psychological impressions of it, it is simply a form of networking technology. I've always wondered if it could be replaced by another form of networking. With the advent of the Internet, it looks like another has possibly come about. The successes of "critical mass" phenomena such as Open Source, P2P, and Wikis shows that it is possible to do some things this way.

A system called LETS has been around for a while that maintains a form of local economy without using money. The Internet could allow such a system to be implemented on a much larger scale. I recall seeing something about it a while back on television that said the point of the system was to make people focus less on the currency and see that they could actually maintain a local economy without one.

I think there is an innate misconception in how an amount of money is percieved. The first impression of it is that it is a fixed measurement of something almost tangible, like mass, when in fact it is a percentage of the currency as a whole. It's a piece of a pie, and the pie doesn't get bigger- if you get a bigger piece, it means someone else has to get a smaller piece. It doesn't mean more pie for everyone. And it is actually a decentralised form of record-keeping. When you look at it that way, currency could simply be compared to something like the dewey decimal system, and can be replaced by other forms. The dependence on it also causes limitations. Take the example of an economy that requires a workforce smaller than the population. Should people that can't be part of the workforce simply be eliminated because they don't have an income? There is also an example of the illusion of money in The Money Myth Exploded by Louis Even.

I think that it is erroneous to compare not using currency with communism. The use of currency and democracy are independent of one another. You can still have democracy without currency. In fact, it would probably be a more ideal democracy because there wouldn't be the whole controversy of financial lobbying, soft money, biases from campaign contributions, rent-a-crowds, and vote buying.

It was not expected to be a big hit, so the first round of prints were not of exceptional quality, and I think the soundtrack was even monophonic (just like the original release of Terminator I, for which the 5.1-ification came later.)

There are even a few changes between the original pan-and-scan laserdiscs and the first widescreen editions, and some minor color changes between the first widescreen and THX versions of Empire, IIRC. (I can consult my Star Wars videophile comrade if the details are needed.)

I would agree, though, that the THX non Special-Ed laserdisc releases are the best in terms of quality and faithfulness to the original theatrical releases.

As for WHY Lucas can't leave anything alone, I'd say he views his films more as a labor than an art. Like software, they are never done - there are always improvements that can be made, new technologies that can be employed, etc. This is all well and good, but it overlooks the value of the original work at its point in history.

But why no Special Ed for Howard the Duck? Or perhaps he is revising history such that his name is no longer associated with this turd...

GNAUK (the UK branch of the GNAA) consultant rolloffle stood ecstatically in front of the massive GNAUK London office skyscraper. Waving his massive nigger hands for silence, he smiled and announced with glee that the GNAA was the cause of the 3000 blogs outage.

"Well, aw'right, now aw'right! It's due to our persistent shitflooding and blogbashing efforts that we can claim this spectacular victory over a major epicentre of retardery! Congratulations, morons, for you have been pwned! Remember, regular local backups are your friend!"

Having concluded with these statements, the crowd burst into an ambivalent mix of outraged and delighted argument. rolloffle then unzipped his trousers and started to beat back the hordes of angry webloggers and journalists with his gigantic nigger cock, fleeing into a side alley. The massive conglomeration of people then enjoyed a spectacular fireworks display, sending the massive office building of glass and steel smashing to the ground and burying the suckers present.

London, England - Top GNAA officials have confirmed the long-rumored launch of the company's new European division, putting to rest myths that the organization had reached stagnancy in its membership.

The announcement came on the heels of the 2nd quarter membership and financial report of GNAA, Inc, which had reported a 15% decline in new memberships, down from 250,000 in the previous quarter. Investor confidence in the public company's stock dropped shortly afterwards, amid rumors of corruption and poor management in the highest levels of GNAA.

"The launch of GNAA Europe should put to rest these myths, as well as open up an entirely new market," announced GNAA spokesman penisbird, speaking from the new GNAA Europe headquarters recently constructed in downtown London. "For years, statistics have shown that Europe, with its generally more liberal atmosphere than that of the United States, contains a higher percentage of gay niggers. As GNAA membership places stringent standards on both the race and sexual orientation of its applicants, a higher percentage of potential candidates can only work to our advantage. From our consumer polls and surveys, we expect to accept nearly 10,000 members into GNAA Europe in the first week alone."

The new GNAA Europe headquarters, described as one of the most technologically advanced and nigger-friendly corporate headquarters ever built, is a sure indicator of GNAA's current success. With its lavish outside garden, complete with African sculpture from renowned sculptor Gary Niger, as well as its grand lobby featuring a 3-story ceiling and ornate gold decorations, the building has attracted much attention from tourists and local residents alike. Even more impressive is that which is not seen by the casual visitor: the specially constructed "pleasure centers," accesible only to GNAA members, allow for extravagent orgies with more than 100 participants each. Located on the upper floors of the building, they provide food, entertainment, and bedding for orgy-goers, as well as a wide selection of sex toys, including whips, chains, lube, dildos, gloryhole booths, and even a sample of GNAA's mysterious new pleasure-enhancing drug, code-named "NIGGERSEED."

Since its inception in 1992, GNAA, the Gay Nigger Association of America, has been dedicated to uniting gay niggers for one common purpose: to be gay niggers. Its rapid growth after its IPO showed strong public interest in the endeavor, which is the first of its kind. More recently, GNAA has posted profits in excess of $500 million every quarter in the last 4 years, placing it among the most profitable of organization of its kind.

Spyware Schmyware. I use Firefox on OS X.

I've been wondering where does the "shm"-thing come from. The first time I heard it was on Mallrats. I quote:

Rene: What are you doing? You promised me breakfast.
Brodie: Breakfast, shmreakfast. Look at the score, for Christ's sake. It's only the second period and I'm up 12 to 2. Breakfasts come and go, Rene, but Hartford, "the Whale", they only beat Vancouver once, maybe twice in a lifetime.

That, of course, is pretty damn hilarious quote. Now the question: Has anyone seen any prior case to this one?

• You reminded me of Wonkavision. (Not the band, the movie.)
• I see that there are now more than 800k registered users on Slashdot, which means that I'm that much closer to being able to sell my "low" userid on ebay.

Personally, I find HR Giger has an... ummm... interesting take on the idea of mechanistic sexuality. Did I say interesting? I meant disturbing...

Mind you he did design the Alien so I shouldn't be surprised.

Yes, but can it go Plad!

So, can somebody please summarize: Which parts of SCOs is dead now, by court rulings?

Isn't that like asking during a 'Friday the 13th' movie which parts of Jason are dead?

No, that's still not good. Because in your excitement to announce it to the world, you forget you have a phone, a computer with email, or any other form of communication. You get in a car and drive to tell someone (WITH THE EVIDENCE!!!), and you crash and die.

Then you're dead, and all the credit goes to some snotty little kid who goes on to play hobbits in his spare time.

I've seen it happen.

It's name is: Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Alien, Flesh Eating, Hellbound, Zombified Living Dead Part 2: In Shocking 2-D

Okay, so I haven't seen it ... but with a title like that, shit ...

King Cobra, starring Pat "Karate Kid" Morita, is easily the worst movie I've ever seen. From the bad plot to the bad acting, it reeks of badness.

For my lacking education I blame my main educators.

You mean that stuff like this doesn't happen in real life?

Michael Bolton: You haven't even been showing up for work, and you got to keep your job.

After I had a panic attack at work (there was a lot of stress), I decided to become more like the dude, and less like Walter. They don't pay me enough to suffer from a heart attack at age 35.

after having invented "double secret probation", i'm sure they can muster up "double secret encryption". but i don't know if they can go as far as "super" secret encryption.

I'd have to say my "worst film" would have to be the 1999 turd Wing Commander. I was a great fan of the WC video game franchise. WC1 was the first pc game to successfully merge a great game with great cinemantics. We take this for granted now, but in 1990, it was pretty revolutionary. For Wing Commander 3 & 4, Chris Roberts went from using animations to live actors in the game. We're talking the likes of Mark Hamill, Malcom McDowell, John Rhys-Davies, Jason Bernard, and Tom Wilson. And it worked very well. Great gameplay with a great story backing it up.

So when I heard that Chris Roberts was taking up writing and directing WC the movie, I had pretty high hopes for it. Wow, was I in for a shock. The story and characters were so loosly related to the game as not to be recognizable. And it was written by the same guy!!!! The Kilrathi, the giant cat warriors from the first three games that were the main antagonists were reduced to slimy green anthropod-things that had a whole two minutes of screen time. Everything that was great about the game was lost to the film. And the film itself added elements that were just plain stoooopid.

I love bad movies. I had to stop watching this one halfway through. Got it on a whim off of eBay, becuase the guy selling it said it was so bad he couln't watch it all the way through.

I guess he meant it.

Basic premise: guy likes to pass gas, girl thinks he's gross, and not much else happens.

$5 plus shipping if anyone wants it (I have to at least recoup my original cost.) :0)

It Came Without Warning: godawful science fiction flick about an alien hunter.

> The biggest fear? Microsoft will use its desktop PC monopoly to charge Hollywood outrageous fees and basically own the movie industry. Microsoft refutes the accusations, saying that it's only interested in selling more copies of Windows and applications for its platform, and providing movie content would promote the platform.

This is FUD. Microsoft can't own the movie industry because the movie industry doesn't even own the movie industry. The customers own the movie industry and if Hollywood continues putting out crap films, studio execs will only have themselves to blame for the fall of Hollywood. Obviously Microsoft doesn't want that to happen. They want to keep doing business with Hollywood and Microsoft is afraid of Open Source, so Billy's army of one will only have to start competing with Open Source in a way that is fair and honest (not "Best Practice", True Practice), or Microsoft too will only have themselves to blame when the palace of cards comes tumbling down.

I see some parallelism here between Hollywood and Microsoft. Both are too big for their own good and it's about time they realize it and start acting like they have something to lose if they don't change their tactics.

I just saw a Canadian movie today called Shot in the Face (2001). Yes the fans at IMDB give it an under-rated 5.6/10, but to me the film had a unique plot, interesting characters and it was fun -- it was just low budget, but it still brought a smile to my face. Obviously not A-list by any stretch of the imagination. My point is that large organizations take something unique out of films, and they also take something unique out of software and operating systems. Polish sometimes ruins things, and both these industries have ruined their products by either having too much polish in all the wrong places, or by have not enough polish in the places that matter.

I am still waiting for my Mr Fusion equipped DeLorean...

We won't have to blow up the moon, because a jump gate accident will shatter it and cause moon debris to rain down on Earth for millions of years to come.

The move to terraformed cities on Mars and various moons of Jupiter and Saturn will soon cause the inevitable resurgence of organized crime, various tribal cultures, and jazz.

I've never seen any movie posted on the IMDB list http://us.imdb.com/chart/bottom.

Having seen the trailer for "Dumb and Dumberer" (which made the list), I can say it looked like a good candidate for the Dumberest movie ever.

All this because of one movie? C'mon Bush administration!

Fremont, California - In a surprise announcement, GNAA has announced a truce and alliance with the popular news for trolls website Slashdot.

GNAA member godspeed broke the news at an early-evening press conference, announcing that GNAA would cease trolling the website, and will instead work with the current Slashdot staff on porting the Slashcode to ASP.NET, to be run under IIS.

"We've had our difference with Slashdot in the past," godspeed began, "but with recent slowdowns in performance on the website, they have finally realized that Opensource is indeed dead, and it's time to move on and replace their antiquated codebase with something that will meet the modern day's needs. We're pleased to be given the opportunity to work with the Slashdot staff on making this port. Of course, the new code will not be opensourced, an NDA will be signed in blood by all who see it and if you release it, the penalty... well, you've seen what happened to Nick Berg, Paul Johnson, and the others. Major changes to be implemented include the removal of goatse link evasion, major overhauls to the karma system, and the replacement of pinkpages with LastMeasure,"

At this point godspeed turned the podium over to fellow GNAA member goat-see and stormed out of the room. goat-see offered to take any questions the audiencemembers have. When asked why there were no Slashdot representatives at the conference, he was quick to reply "You can speak to CowboyNeal outside after we're through here, we couldn't get that motherfucker in here without widening the doorframes. Next question?," eliciting a hearty chuckle from the audience. When asked the reason for the sudden change in relations with Slashdot, goat-see paused to think for a moment, before answering "Our historical differences were meant to hilight the flaws in the Slashdot system. As soon as the staff realized what an impacted shitpile their site was and the need to update it, we were the first to volunteer to assist in the migration. We look forward to seeing the hight performace of ASP.NET pages with a MS SQL backend as much as any other nigger out there."

bare, a GNAA member sitting in the audience, stood up and confirmed this announcement with a hearty "LOL." goat-see concluded the conference at that point, saying "If you have any further questions, please direct them to new GNAA member Wil Wheaton, now let's all go outside and poke that fat fuck CowboyNeal with sticks."

These are all pretty bad. There a lot of films I really couldn't get on with...

Deep Blue Sea - too cheesy by far.

Nightmare on Elm Street 7 - it's hilarious for all the wrong reasons
From Dusk 'til Dawn - thought it was going to be normal Tarantino, then they all turned into vampires and we were horribly confused, amused and scared
The Matrix - sorry, this isn't a troll, but it was a bit cheesy and lame. it's good for the special effects, but if it hadn't had them I think it might have died. The premise is good, just the script itself and acting and everything was a bit too much for me
Warlock [imdb] - god awful "special" effects. Really really bad.
24 Hours in London [imdb] - it has the dad from "Two point four children" in it. As a gangster.
The Hot Chick [imdb] - if i have to tell you what's wrong with this movie, you need help
The Lost Boys [imdb] - it's got the blonde curly haired one from Bill and Ted in it, trying to look hard. And that's the least of it's worries. Poor dialog, awful awful acting.

The Matrix - sorry, this isn't a troll, but it was a bit cheesy and lame. it's good for the special effects, but if it hadn't had them I think it might have died. The premise is good, just the script itself and acting and everything was a bit too much for me
Warlock [imdb] - god awful "special" effects. Really really bad.
24 Hours in London [imdb] - it has the dad from "Two point four children" in it. As a gangster.
The Hot Chick [imdb] - if i have to tell you what's wrong with this movie, you need help
The Lost Boys [imdb] - it's got the blonde curly haired one from Bill and Ted in it, trying to look hard. And that's the least of it's worries. Poor dialog, awful awful acting.

and there's a song and dance number by a pair of chinese guys in black leather/spandex biker outfits

but for oriental song and dnace its hard to beat the Happiness of the Katakuris. Like the Sound of Music directed by John Carpenter

Hud (1986) (aka Vilde, the Wild One) - without a doubt. It made me want to scratch my eyes out and poke holes in my eardrums. Elisabeth Granneman pissing in bed (Ewwwww!) was really the high (or low) -point in this incredably boring movie. Stay clear of this one and anything else starring or directed by Vibeke Løkkeberg or her husband Terje Kristiansen. For the love of God - Take my advice. Really... I mean it.

This sounds a lot like the Ministry of Information Retrieval from the movie Brazil. The more things change, the more they remain the same. :)

Heh, thanks for the memories... I saw that it's first time on prime-time TV. Really, really awful, even to a little kid. On the other hand, Duel (same era) was tense.

I saw this and couldn't help being reminded of "Imformation Retreval" from the film Brazil http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088846/. Where they charge the victims of government oppression the cost of actually oppressing them.

Although the idea of charging criminals the "real" cost to prosecute them is interesting...

a post apocalyptic desert-world

Remember Space: 1999? Where's our moon base? What about the artificial intelligence we were supposed to have by now, according to 2001: A Space Odyssey? And what about George Orwell's 1984 first published in 1949? Who ever thought it would end up as a reality-TV show? And who ever could have predicted that porn would be so accessible and abundant because of the Internet? Star Trek (the original series) did kind of predict the cell phone technology, though, but off by a few... um... centuries.
