Build Your Own Cityscape
Hoagy writes "Many friends think I've moved when I show them this picture. I've constructed a lit model of midtown Manhattan to fill an otherwise unspectactular view out of our kitchen window. The website details the construction process and how to design and build your own. The city lights also automatically turn on/off via an X10 cronjob on my home Linux server." Nice hack job.

No, you won't. You'll build your own Iron Curtain around the USA, and hide from the evil terrorists outside. Look at yourselves now - your government has banned you from travelling to, or trading with Cuba. How can you say you're free?
Oooh please... Get off your high horse. Everyone has limits to their freedoms. Freedom without limits is anarchy and I hope you're not advocating that. Almost all countries use sanctions and travel restrictions as tools to influence other country's policies. Almost every country in the world has severe trade and travel restrictions with Iraq during the past 10 years so don't get all preachy about Cuba.
Your idiotic governments keep getting you tangled up in wars that you should stay out of. Oh, there isn't a war on just now? Let's start one! It's funny how all your wars seem to have something to do with wealthy, oil-producing countries.
Yeah!! There's so much oil in Afghanistan its not even funny! =P The Gulf War? That was the World vs. Iraq. Your rants while bringing up the popular subject of American bashing are short on facts and long on hollow rhetoric.
G. Washington on Government "it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
Not necessarily, real diplomacy along with the threat of possible force is what is needed - not the 'do as we say or else' attitude. One mans terrorist is anothers freedom fighter
"Yeah!! There's so much oil in Afghanistan its not even funny!"
Uh, no, but there is TONS in Turkmenistan and we have been wanting a pipeline through Afghanistan for a long time now. Why do think we were so in favor of supporting a top advisor to the El Segundo, California-based UNOCAL Corporation as the interim prime minister? Haven't you been paying attention? Or do you just use what ABC McNews tells (or doesn't tell you) to form your perception of reality?
Christ, wake the fuck up. No wonder the rest of the world thinks we are ignorant jingos.
It's 10 PM. Do you know if you're un-American?
I personally liked how W. handled the whole Afghan issue... "if they want to call us Imperialist dogs, then thats what we'll be!"
Hello Afghanistan, we're going to mold you into a country whose existence makes our country's existence safer.
whoot!
