Am I the only one completely disturbed by the fact that airport security would yank off the electrodes? What if he actually were a terrorist, and those were wires connected to an explosive device! Even if this was done in the name of security, I think someone should go back to airport security school. Thank god it was not some terrorist with a bomb inside of him, because the whole airport could have been obliterated! This is not only bad security, it is beyond neglegence.
Maybe these guys can help us find the terrorists. And I'm not even kidding. This morning three bombs were found in a morgue in my hometown (Memphis TN), and I didn't bother to check the local news today so I never even knew about it. There are ATF agents dogs and cops and whatever else all over the place, and everything is blocked off.
That was some really nice looking fight stuff in the preview. Yoda was so glowy green he looked like he had more life in him and I thought that was cool. I am guessing they placed the trailer between the dork kid show and the dork adult show to hit their target audience... I used to run projection at a theatre and it always bugged me the kinds of trailers they want to put in front of certain shows and all, so I rebelled one day and put on some horrors and dirty previews before all the rated G shows. I got fired, but before I was canned I spliced the reels out of order on a really boring movie. I heard that nobody noticed or said anything for about a week, until one very particular person noticed that a charachter in the movie who had died was alive again. Anyway.. I think its going to be cool seeing Mace Windu fight. He's the guy with the light sabre that says bad mutha *&%#er on it.
Thanks to GNOME and KDE. I don't use them, but they look all windowy and stuff so slow people will probably love it. Everyone should help add more GUIs. I mean.. using keyboards is complicated and school is dont teech good much. One day.. anyone, no matter what their crack intake will be able to operate Linux. My ex wife would really appreciate that. Thanks again!
Herzog Zwei was good, but I could never get it to play in an emulator without really annoying flashes that make you dizzy after a while. Picture dune 2 though with a split screen and you each play a transformer that can be a man or a plane and you go around and pick up units and drop them off and try to take over a bunch of bases. Then you run out of gas and have to go back to your base to refuel while your enemy is going around killing all your guys. You have to make missile tanks to keep the enemy transformer from flying too close to your bases too.
Of course the best strategy game ever made for Sega is definitely Third World War for sega CD, which you will not find a ROM for because last time I checked there were no working emulators because they could never hack the sega stuff.
Cars suck because of all of the obstacles I have to deal with on a daily basis during my one hour commute. Potholes, boxes, broken beer bottles, rusty car parts, large animal carasses, rough gravel, medians, curbs, parking blocks, ditches, lawns, toys intentionally placed or accidentally left by children, debris falling from other vehichles, natural debris including fallen trees, mud, snow, deep water... and thats just the short list.
Trucks suck because they are hard to drive through narrow lanes, getting by parked cars, parallel parking, etc. whereas a smaller SUV can cut through the mess as well as squeeze through it. Though it may not be fuel efficient I don't design the crap, and I have needs that are met by my ride, so all the jealous people who drive meep meep cars, and all the tree humpers can wipe the drool from their chin and shut up.
And regarding the nonsense about jeeplike SUV's tipping over... you can make any car flip if you are a big enough dumbass and can't drive. Jeeps and similar may have had more accidents like that because morons try to drive them like they are behind the wheel of a ferarri.
And for the record, I don't blast hip hop at a billion decibels, I blast punk rock. Well, I did until my stereo got stolen by 6 white kids.

I have a document that I wanted to be able to convert from word format into various formats, and to be able to quickly update them all, or to publish it on the web, etc. I figured that the best way to do this would be in Microsoft Office, so I borrowed a copy (i'm poor too). I ran into numerous problems including but not limited to finding all the support for document conversions, and finding a way to do it all without taking up a loan, which were the main objectives in what I was trying to do. I finally went back to my Debian box and downloaded Abiword, because I admit , I heard about it in the slash story a few days ago. I was able to open the word document I had already begun to create and to my surprise it looked the same, but in my opinion the fonts looked a lot cooler. I have like all these output format options I wanted, and when the formats I had werent enough (I wanted PDF too), I saved the document to a postcript file and converted it using ps2pdf. I think they are still planning direct PDF output, but hey.. Everything looks great (as least as great as I could ever manage), and it took me all of a minute to slap together an expect script to automate the uploading. After 2 days of trying to get it in gear with the Windows crap I was sure I would have to use... I have picked gum out of hair faster than the time I spent wrestling with MSword. Linux may not replace every Windows/Office installation, but it sure the hell just replaced mine. Right now I'm turning that old FAT partition into pr0n storage! Screw winders and all their talking teletubbies and all them other things they got.
I don't exactly love yahoo for various reasons, but I will be honest and commend them on their spam filter. It really does pick up a lot. One thing though, is that if you turn on POP3 redirection it directs the spams to you as well, but you can kill them with a procmail recipe like this

If your interested in a real good Windows desktop thats like FVWM for Windows then check out EVWM.Not only is it simple like FVWM, and have graphical configuration, but it is written in ANSI C/WinAPI so it is fast. I've been using it at work for a couple of years now and like it a lot.

I did not consider asteroids on the moon. If they are looking for asteroids, I figured there were more than enough floating around already.
I also think I misused the term "rare". As you must know, the least abundant true rare earth metals are in greater abundance than platinum. I was referring to this, and not molecular structure.
If it is believed that the moon and Earth share a common origin, or that the earth had ejected material to form it, would it also not be safe to say that the rare earth metals, such as the sought after platinum would be rare moon metals as well? Would there be some reason to believe a sizable quantity may be found, or more easily located on the moon?
My gym class teacher in freshman year of highschool was a big redneck and ex pro wrestler (I won't say his name or wrestling name). He had made up this game which was a cross between football, basketball and of course wrestling. It was appropriately named, "warball". The rules went something like this: The class was split up into two large teams who had to score basketball goals, but there were no rules on how to get the ball and you could run with it, and kick it or who was holding it, etc.
It all started off just like this. Someone threw the ball to me. I couldn't throw it to anybody else because no one wanted it for obvious reasons. I was hit by a running punch which smashed into my nose spurting blood. I then fell into an oh shit I'm dead position. This was shortly followed by being rammed in the chest and head from both sides by the shoulders of no less than 15 people who then procceeded to pound my limp body to the ground ignoring the ball which had already moved downcourt. I crawled to the sidelines to witness the continuing carnage and spilling of blood. I was quickly joined by others that had been seriously beaten and injured.
Fortunately the very next day our teacher said we had to cancel playing warball because "some crybaby told thier parents and they called the school". We all then recieved a lengthy punishment for being such wusses.
I don't know much about brits and their rugby, but believe it, down yunder in the states, some of those teachers have us play some rough games too.
