you're just pissed cause I did download one or two tracsk to see if i liked it as much as play before i bought it. earth to moby. this album (18) sucks ass.
I wouldn't mind having a fridge that does this. it would be cool if you could get a recipe a day sent to you fridge and then when you come home the fridge has already ordered the ingredients to make that meal. and it counts calories for you.
I have to admit I'm rather wonked by the fact that the one place where linux is making the most inroads is animation houses. years ago when I first started using linux the last place I though linux would become a power was animation studios. funny how things just find their place.
the one time I could have gotten a story posted on slashdot and I don't even recognize it. I live in the city next too Norfolk, Portsmouth. they were originally trying to sell this idea to Virginia Beach as a way for tourists to get around but it jsut wasn't practical. So then they sold it to ODU (Old Dominion University). from what I understand this isn't costing ODU anything which is great. Whats sad is I've known about this for like a year or more and jsut didn't think it that noteworthy. cool things happen here all the time.:)
old enough to know better. the reason I stated my opinion a multiple of times was that when I wrote my comment the few that were already present were hailing the idea and going on about how great it would be to destroy earth's oil reserves. I was commenting towards them. as for my writing style. I think faster than I write. often i try to answer questions before they're asked. if i forgot to repeat something in a different way some one would just have gotten me in a different way. see the posts about peanut oil. i didn't think to answer peanut oil cause I didn't know about it. also the person that submitted the article commented on how good it would be to destory earths oil reserves.
ok hyperbole. there are nuclear engineers. but there are not as many now as there once were. Many colleges are thinking of shutting down their nuclear sciences departments.
I was unaware of the peanut oil connection but how fast can you grow a peanut?
as for the admirable chareteristics of hemp I agree. Will your car run peanut oil now? will the furnace in your home burn hemp? Certainly many would survive. But also many would suffer greatly. Thats just not a chance I'm willing to take. Thats all I'm saying.
And thanks for the info on peanut oil. I really had no idea. if I could I'd mod you a fascinating.:)
ok. worse case scenario this stuff becomes uncontainable and renders all the world's oil resources useless. Great idea. wrong. I can't say how wrong and awful and catastrophic this would be. I'm as big an environmentalist as the next guy but, this is just ludicrous. oh no problem we'll jsut switch to renewable or nuclear resources. wrong. its not that easy. if you think it is you live in a dream land. I have no problem with nuclear but, there is one or two little problems with the idea of just switching over. Commerce would end for one. for two, in case you weren't aware of this but there are no nuclear engineers anymore. nuclear science has taken a significant hit in recent years. there are very few people studying to be nuclear scientists/engineers. so if all the gas was gone there would be no one to just switch us over. I can't say enough how bad an idea it would be for something like this to happen and get loose. In some utopian fantasy it might be a great thing for the earth but for those of us who live here it would be a disaster of biblical proportions. I won't even get into the social unrest you would have to deal with. Oh and if you're thinking Wind power? well the best windmills come from Europe. How would you get them here without diesel engined ships? Put them on nuclear carriers? how do you get them to the dock? horsecart? how do you get them to North Dakota? mushers? big picture folks thats all I'm saying.
Katz is a putz. Sorry but thats what I get. Of course he's gonna give this movie a good review. Duh. Its under the radar and hip and nostalgic etc. That pretty much adds up to all the things that/.ers are supposed to glom on to. underground oh yeah! hip, yeah I'm hip. geeks are still hip aren't they? nostalgia? got it in spades. geeks love nostalgia. even if they don't they realize that if they don't love nostalgia they shall be shunned by other higher level geeks. why does he not like star wars? its certainly not under the radar. its not hip cause now there are all these little kids seeing it or these old baby boomers seeing it and anything with kids and boomers can't be hip. nostalgic? heck they're brand new movies. the only thing they are good for is so we can say oh this would be better with the original cast. or whatever... oh I miss being able to see the wires. this isn't acting this is computer generated schlock bring back miniatures! feh. Katz just panders to what he believes/.ers will like. thats all he ever does. thats all he'll ever do. gack. oh and why did I click on this article if I don't like Katz? cause I wanted to see what everyone else thought, not what katz though. I read slashdot for the comments, not the articles.
Second that. My addtonrics case is just rock frickin solid. First thing I did was sit on it. And I love the various features. The swing out doors, the drive rail system, the mobo tray, etc... Addtronics is just great. I don't see why they don't get more press. go buy one folks.
for a guy that studied snails he was the best there was at explaining the unintelligble to the masses. I own several of his books and read them like most folks read Grisham.
Wherever he is now I'm certain he's explaining something to someone.
God: so how did I do that thing with the platypus again? Stephen: its easy. lets use baseball as an example...
but does it have that bridge on the list. its not a technology disaster list unless its got that bridge that harmonically shook itself to death. footage of the old guy walking across the bucking bridge is just cool as hell.
this is why I use a local ISP

Disconnecting

· Score: 2
don't have cable yet still on dialup but my local isp is quite friendly and all that jazz. never have any rpoblems with them and the office where I pay my bill in cash is only ten miles away. if you live in hampton roads, va and have tired of gargantuan ISPs that might I suggest Pinnacle. I'm just a satisfied customer.
firstly, I always figured geeks had a pretty good sense of what was the right way to act in a theater. You come in sit down and shut up. You don't do anything to annoy the other people. I swear if I see a jackass with a laptop while I'm trying to watch a movie I'm gonna knock your block off. thats just fucking rude as hell. You don't want to watch the movie and pay attention then go home. also, aren't you supposed to have your towel with you at all times anyway?
well. I've gotten the same crashes using all manner of software (gnome/kde/X) in all manner of window managers. I still have to reboot to retain control of my system and return to the X drivers
Nvidia good drivers? MY geforce2 crashes on just about every driver that Nvidia puts out. I for one don't feel their efforts to provide drivers are anywhere near being good. fair maybe but not good. good would mean my shit doesn't crash while browsing slashdot.
the relationship between Parker and Mary Jane has always been a part of Spider-Man. The movie would have been awful if that hadn't been there. And, uh, I never want to see a cut of the film minus the rain scene.:)
I call shenanigans. I went to see Spider-Man because I love Spider-Man. I was exposed to just around zero advertising prior to seeing the film. The only review I heard of the movie was on NPR 2 days after I saw the film. I love Star Wars too. But, I'm not going to ruch to see the film when it comes out. Why not? Its heavily and I mean heavily advertised with tie ins the likes god has never seen. I won't see it though. not any time soon. I was disappointed with Episode 1. I'm in no rush to see what could be a further disappointment in Episode 2.
agreed. In my own defense, though, I never said I was a grammar guru. That's why I have a copy of Strunk and White.:) Just chalk this up to my hands typing faster than my brain thinks. Also, that whole rant stems from my upset that folks these days seem to want machines to do all the work for them. In some cases having a machine do the work for me is fine but, having an understanding of the fundamentals of how a thing works and why can be very useful. I'll end there and get my fork so I can resume eating my humble pie.
this will sound elitist but I really don't care about grammar check. I hate grammar check. I know how to write. I learned English a long time ago. If you're a non-English speaker then trust me just write what you're going to write. If the grammar is funny I'm not going to bitch about it. I'm impressed you know English at all as I only know the one language. Grammar checkers are similar to "um", a crutch for the conversational cripple. If you feel that your writing isn't having the impact you want it too then pick up a copy of Strunk and White. And if you're concerned about your childs ability to compete in the marketplace then maybe you should get rid of that grammar checker when they're doing their homework. Its ok for us to expect people to do calculus but we can't expec them to write in the language they were born with?
just got back from the theatre.

Review: Spiderman
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
very very happy. I thought tobey was great. but then I like tobey maguire in any role. As far as the way the movie was put together it just seemed better than batman. Batman was great but it was always so super comical, the sets were unreal, the costumes were jsut abstract. thats it batman was abstract and impressionistic and I think Spider-Man is more realistic (I'm talking the look, the fact that there's a guy swinging from skyscrapers is not what I'm talking about) as for the CG. well there is one spot that looks a little funny but only for a sec. Also what right do we ahve to complain? Stan Lee exec produced it. He's even in it if you look real close.
last I knew I paid Cox to let me watch TNT, and TBS and CNN, and TCM, and um... jeeze... shut up moron. is turner suddenly hurting for cash? last I heard Ted was able to give away billions to the UN. they suddenly can't afford for me to fast forward through a commercial as opposed to what I usually do, get up and get a drink or somesuch thing. do people in the tv industry really think that I watch their commercials? in that case lets outlaw PIP and the "last" button on remotes. morons morons everywhere.

this is the price I will pay for a console. I'm sorry I'm not shoveling out over 300 dollars for a toy. 150 sure. but not 300.

knocking the block off someone tapping away instant messaging his buddies in other theaters is not rude. it is a service to the movie going community.

do any of those documents explain why you can hear the whooshing of starships in a vacuum?
course this is a movie we're talking about so anyway... umm.. nevermind I'll jsut get back to waiting for the flash at Marvel to download.
