Lucas's New HQ
pin_gween writes "The KS City Star reports George Lucas (of the "It's not about the money" fame) has opened a new headquarters for digital film works. The campus has, among several movie theaters, "data network with more than 300 10-gigabyte ports. Fiber-optics cables are connected to every artist desktop, allowing high-resolution images on each computer. In all, there are 600 miles of cable throughout the campus's four buildings." Not too shabby, or cheap."
"In terms of being a corporate executive, I'm pretty much tired," he said. "I'm going to focus on making movies."
Noooooooooooo......!
But on top of it he is trying to ridicule all us geeks with ungodly huge data pipes!
Apparently, Indy finds out that Dr. Belloq is really his father in a shocking scene.
Once he's tired of the location, the Federation can buy it, because it is located on the grounds of the future Star Fleet Headquaters.
then I could have high resolution images on each of my computers.
I'm fed up being stuck on 100Mbps' 640x480x8 !

Here's a small hack (neat or not, I'll let you judge Mr AC). Go to Google maps and enter your desired phrase "biggest fool in the world" or somesuch. Of course it doesn't find anything interesting, but it still shows you a map. So manually go to your desired location (I recommend using the map rather than satelite view for this), . Then switch to satelite view and your desired zoom level, and click "link to this page", and you get a nice link to Google Maps - biggest fool in the world to send to your unsuspecting victim.
