They call it "Orion"? The 1960s technology? I have a pretty good idea how it might turn out - like this.

However there is one single flaw in this solution. While people like to yell how much they are against death penalty there are only a few, who want to take actions against it.

Except for in civilised societies, where the state doesn't kill people (including innocent ones), and "life for life, Eye for eye" is not taken literally. Here most people have agreed on taking action against it a long time ago.

There are so many unfixable objective problems with capital punishment that societies that value justice should avoid it altogether. The single flaw in your solution is presuming that the law should include such punishment.

I found an intriguing piece of evidence while sniffing around in the MIT labs. I guess it's some kind of diagram depicting the whole thing working.

Alles passierte am Telefon... This are some Links with adult content, where i found in the web. nice links someone, but someone it is not for me. Looking if some link inside, where is interesting for you. Für die Anbieter einschlägiger "0190-Ruf-mich-an"-Stöhn-Nummern und andere teure und oft auch wertlose Telefon-"Mehrwertdienste" brechen schwerere Zeiten an. Die Regulierungsbehörde für Telekommunikation und Post ist fünf Jahre nach der völligen Liberalisierung des Telefonmarktes in Deutschland entschlossen, von Verbraucherschützern immer wieder beklagten Missbrauch einzudämmen. "Der Wildwuchs, der da stattgefunden hat, stellt insgesamt ein Ärgernis dar", sagte der Präsident der Regulierungsbehörde, Matthias Kurth, im Gespräch mit der Nachrichtenagentur AP in Bonn. Telefonsex Cam Dank des neuen "Gesetzes zur Bekämpfung des Missbrauchs von (0)190er/(0)900er Mehrwertdiensterufnummern" hat die Behörde nun das notwendige Instrument in der Hand.

Matango, The Fungus of Terror

Alternate titles include "Island of the Mushroom Men" and "Attack of the Mushroom People".

It takes the genius of the man who created Godzilla (Ishiro Honda) to come up with this classic tale, which answers the age-old question "What would you get if Gilligan's Island was remade as a Japanese horror monster movie?"

Five passengers set out on short pleasure trip (a three hour tour?), the weather started getting rough, the tiny yacht was lost - and they end up lost on a deserted island. Fortunately, their lack of food is solved by the abundance of wild mushrooms on the island.

Soon, the Professor and the TV star find an abandoned ship - missing all its mirrors! (ooh...) The ship was a research vessel for studying the effects of radiation on local flora (atomic weapons having been tested near by). The crew is missing. An hour of suspenseless terror follows, as strange creatures begin to "terrorize" our hapless castaways. Eventually, they discover the horrible secret - the Mushroom Men! These terrible creatures use their incredible ZombieSpeed(tm) to chase the castaways around the island in slow motion.

Eventually, the remaining castaways patch up one of the boats and begin to sail away. Everything looks safe, when one of them looks into a mirror and recoils in horror at the face of a... Mushroom Man! The island mushrooms they ate change anyone into a Mushroom Man! The Mushroom Men on the island were actually the missing crew from the research boat! The horror, the horror...

For an alternate (positive) review of this movie, go here.

Science Fiction

Fortress

In the near future, the religious right have staged a coup and rule America under an iron fist of theocratic tyranny. One of their many edicts is that every couple can only have one child (but fruitless and don't multiply). A couple (Christopher Lambert and Female Actress #27) are fleeing the repressive USA for that shining city on a hill, that beacon of democracy and freedom - Mexico! As they try to slip across the border, we learn they are fleeing because the woman is pregnant with their second child - their first having died some tragic death before the movie. They must escape the US, or the evil Christian bible thumper will force her... to have an abortion! (Huh?)

They are caught and Lambert is sent to a high-tech prison dubbed "the Fortress". It is a large hole in the ground, with a central core that contains an elevator and a number of deadly lasers! Each prisoner also must swallow a device that will explode should they leave their slice of the prison cylinder.

Typical scenes of prison life ensue, including a talk with the crusty old-timer who informs Lmabert that he has been there for 35 years - there is no escape! Of course, given the stated timeline, this means that the prisoner has been there since 1979 - which, as we all know, is when Jerry Falwell completed the first of his death-laser dungeons built beneath Liberty University.

It only gets worse from there, folks...

When a Man Loves a Woman

Without a doubt, the worst movie ever foisted upon me by my wife (who also hated it, though not with the same gut-searing passion that I did). I was sorely tempted to leave this movie several times - only the free popcorn refills kept me seated. Damn that evilly-delicious fake butter!

Meg Ryan plays an alcoholic. Andy Garcia is her sympathetic husband. When her life finally spirals completely out of control, he finds her the help she needs, takes care of the kids, supports her in every aspect of her recovery. In return, she divorces him, gets custody of the kids (of course) and learns that everything is

What's with that dog?

It seems to appear in almost all of Oshii's films,

My first hard drive was a 5 Meg connected to an IMB PC XT.

But my first storage device was an audio cassette player connected to my TI99-4A.

Now some really old fart is going to come and tell us about storing his MP3 collection on punch cards. ;-)

thats true.

MLdonkey is a multi-platform multi-networks peer-to-peer client. Originally, it was the first open-source client to access the eDonkey network . The protocol was reverse-engeneered using an efficient protocol sniffer, Pandora .

Currently, with eDonkey , it supports several large networks, such as Overnet , Bittorrent , Gnutella (Bearshare, Limewire,etc), Gnutella2 (Shareaza), Fasttrack (Kazaa, Imesh, Grobster), Soulseek (beta), Direct-Connect (alpha), and Opennap (alpha). Networks can be enabled/disabled, searches are performed in parallel on all enabled networks, but each file is only downloaded from one network (wait for next release !), but from multiple clients concurrently.

Okay, I did some quick research. This is definitely not a real company.
It looks like somebody's put together a website tracking this whole story:
The Metacortex Conspiracy
There are other pages referenced from the main Metcortex page. If you search the employees mentioned, you'll find their homepages. Everything is indicated as being hosted by a company named UnderScore Hosting, which (a) is not accepting new hosting applications and (b), along with the Metacortex "main offices", is located in a city that doesn't exist (Redland, WA).
Some links, presumably created by the Matrix team:

More info on the site mentioned at the top.
Consider the ramifications on the story of the Matrix - perhaps Neo was working at the company that went on to develop the Matrix (or at least the necessary AI for the machines to take over)?

He's got the touch.

Googled for more information and found the following two articles in German
Mathematikerin entwickelt Formel zum Einparken

Frauen entdecken das Einparken

the second has a different version of the formula:
p=r-w/2, g)-w+2r+b, f)-w+2r-fg max((r+w/2)+f, (r+w/2)+b)£min((2r), (r+w/2+k))

Still doesn't make a whole lot of sense with unopened brackets and commas that don't appear to be separating parameters of a function.

Nick H., webmaster and spokesperson, at the very bottom is according to the text "certainly one of the most insane people on earth".

Yeah the old movies had black women in them like Angelfood McSpade

Historically, "wardialing" was phr33k-slang for the rapid dialling of phone numbers.

The dialer program in the movie, and ones like it which people made, got nicknamed "War Dialers".

What is with the free-as-in-beer IIS FastEnc
win32 codec (l3codeca.acm - encode up to 56 kbps,
decode unlimited, (c) 1999, corrects decoding error
at 128 kbps from the (c) 1997 codec) - I got that
one in original, with no license terms applied.

What do I do if I just put it up at
this site? Would that mean IIS has to pay
themselfes?
AFAIK&IANAL Licenses cannot be applied retrospectively
except if said so in the original one.

*narf* too bad that I don't use Windows any longer.

Same for me to the French language Lycos site.

First of all, it's odd for me, a native English speaker who happens to be living in France, to be automatically redirected to a French language page. But it starts getting to be annoying when I start out on the English page, search for Excite and end up on their Excite redirection page, which is back in the Lycos.com domain, do a search with the link on that page, and end up on the French language home page anyway!

Granted, it's hard for an English speaker to complain about the language content of the web (which must still be 90% English), but sheesh! If I start out specifying the language, shouldn't I at least stay in that language? Especially if it happens to be the original language of the site.

After not noticing that I'd been automatically redirected to the German Lycos site, and finding that I could find German Yahoo, Infoseek and so on, I wondered what all the fuss was about.

I then confirmed the "humorous messages" effect by going here US Lycos.

Are the people in America having fun, or are they being misguided.
