New Star Wars Movie From the Makers of 'Troops'

Anonymous Coward writes "A new fan-made Star Wars production is underway from the creators of the well-known 1997 Star Wars spoof 'Troops'. I.M.P.S. - The Relentless is a documentary style feature following the crew and missions of an Imperial Star Destroyer during the height of the Galactic Empire. While slightly more serious than Troops, the first available chapter of I.M.P.S is an exceptionally well-produced (and still subtly humorous) piece of fanfilm. Worth it for the incredible CGI alone."

    The old ARPA internet that would function even if 90% of its nodes were destroyed by a Soviet nuclear attack is a thing of the past.

    The modern internet has nothing like the old redundancy. Go check out NANOG and listen to them bitching about it.

  2. Create your own magnet URI by YA_Python_dev · · Score: 3, Interesting
    I find it amazing that more torrent sites don't publish the URI in addition to the torrent file.

    Yeah, but please note that some sites (e.g. torrentspy) publish an equivalent information: the info hash.

    You can convert an info hash to a magnet URI and vice versa with this small Python script: simply pass the hash or the URI to the command line.
