Saw it on Discovery's Daily Planet, the man is seriously talented to duplicate something so complex that doesn't have any sort of available blueprints.
He might have run the tank dry just getting it to its remote location, or siphoned off the tank and disposed of the gasoline so it wouldn't damage the tank and engine during its decades of storage in the abandoned mine. He wasn't aware he'd ever need it again at the time.
If you travel back in time to the exact same spot, just in a different time, then (unless you're REALLY precise on the exact time of day and year), you'll most likely end up floating in space. People who make time travel movies don't seem to realize that the earth moves around its axis and around the sun. The spot I'm standing on right now will be vaccum in just a few minutes.
John Carpenter is the only director I can think of who ever complements his time travel explanation (albeit for a radio signal, but still) with the earth's revolution around the sun: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Darkness_(film)
Doc probably could have MacGuyvered a distillation setup to make gasoline out of petroleum, but he quickly figured that it would take him much longer than it would take for him to get murdered and so other options were needed. He just didn't bore Marty with the details and called it impossible, adding the words "in what little time we have" in his own head.
Treating your customers with respect is the best way to see them respect you right back, often with money and sales. RIAA needs to seriously take notice of this.
Why would anyone agree to buy the domain name for 100 million dollars when there is no clear way of monetizing it or making it a profitable venture? It's so 1997 to think that the normal rules of business do not apply to the internet, because it's a magical place where there is profit for all and every 50$ investment yields a billion dollar return.
Everyone from my parents to job counselors kept telling me that learning programming and computers was a dead end because it was both a fad and a saturated market. IBM already had all the programmers they would ever need, who would hire more?
When Facebook announces new privacy-preserving settings for its users, what they mean is "we have implemented a new zero-day exploit that will allow hackers to steal all your info with a simple script and sell it all off on the internet with very little effort."
and with only tools and materials found in the wilderness of New Jersey
I'm pretty sure that stone age human beings didn't have access to the level of technological refinement available in the garbage that litters New Jersey.
Somehow, I originally misread the title as "3dfx Voodoo Graphic Card Emulation Coming To DDoSBox". My thought was "Damn, those hackers will stop at nothing to shut down Amazon and eBay."
According to the math done after taking these new factors into consideration, the planned apocalypse will actually happen more or less in the next couple of sec
Anonymous regularly takes on the church of scientology, one of the most aggressively litigious entities in the world (WORSE than the RIAA/MPAA) and stays ahead of them. You really think that your facepaint and unnaturally long tongue are going to scare them any?
... until the RIAA decides that they want that money the customers saved thanks to the subsidies and sues the legit downloaders, despite having received government grant money for that very amount.

"Just tell us everything you do all the time, and if something in there is a crime, you'll know it because you'll be arrested."
So much for the old "did not inhale" defense!
Or has that been integrated into "digital piracy" definitions already?
In the cinematic introduction, the demon hunter looks like Kasumi from the Mass Effect 2 Stolen Memories DLC.

Precisely. It's another nail in their coffin, really.

Truly the (graphite) pen is mightier than the sword!

Is it compatible with the aim bot, speed hacks and no-clip mods?
Ironically, the RIAA wants to do the same to the Pirate Bay people.

Far enough that Ouroboros itself will think they're pushing it up a few inches too far.

And suing people making sarcastic comments on the internet is going to make everyone respect him... sure, let's go with that.
