Adult Swim didn't show Cowboy Funk the first time around? How did people get through the seires without meeting Andy?! One of my favorite one shot characters in anything, and Adult Swim didn't show him. Figures.
I'd like an original "Wish You Were Here" with the nifty black cellophane cover.
Although I can't seem to find it there now, there's a great Japanese import of Wish You Were Here that I got from cdnow when they were having and import sale in March. It comes in the black cellophane, with the cd inside a slipcase thats a shrunken version of the original lp case. It even comes with a mini postcard, like the original.
On your other comments, I agree completely. The state that music is in today is despicable. Unfortunately for those of us who actually love music, the will of the masses tends to win out, and the masses have no idea what good music is, despite the many instances in history where it actually has hit them over the head.
I go to Cornell University, and yesterday, the student body got an e-mail explaining intelectual property, but in effect saying that they won't bloak any internet service.
Because the pair of primers provides a trillion trillion options, she concludes that the code is essentially unbreakable.
Just because the primers are hard to find doesn't mean the message is. If you know how the message was encrypted into the strand, you can test the entire strand (if there is only one) to see if it makes sense when decrypted. That's how the codebreakers at Bletchley Park cracked the daily Enigma settings, they would try certain words that would fit into the message and see if the rest made sense. Adam
With the genome project, what if they CAN'T figure out how to produce thoughts in the lab
I'm really not sure, but I don't think that the main idea behind this project has been the development of thought in the lab. The first step for the human genome project has always been, AFAIK, to simply get a list of the genes that make up a human being. After that, by a slow and painful process, they will try to figure out what each of the genes that thay have sequenced does. Adam
I believe what the theory actually says (very hard to tell from this article) is that if there was a big crunch (omega1) then these pockets of reverse time could be formed. One interesting offshoot from this is that if we find these pockets, we would be able to tell for sure whether or not there was going to be a big crunch. ~Adam
I don't definetly see this as the end of privacy, sure the idea of privacy will change, but as long as there is some level of anonymity on the net, there will be some privacy. The best way for companies like this to stay in business is to earn the people's trust. There should be a checkbox(or some equivalent) on a page that asks whether or not you ant the information to a database so that all the ads and spam that you recieve relates to your own personal interests. ~Adam
This was my favorite sandman story with the exception of Season of Mists...plus I got the book signed by both Gaiman and Amano, after standing on line for two and a half hours, of course. My favorite is the fold out picture of Morpheus in the middle of the book.
My all time favorite issue is definetly the las issue of the kindly ones. It was so sad, after reading almost ten years of work in less than a week (i've only been reading these books for about a year, but have all of them already) to see morpheus die in such a noble way. Among my other favs is episode 1 of season of mists.

Now wrap your iPod around that set of songs. Smoke while you are doing so. We do whatever we want to whoever we want, all the time.
