Oh, you said *Windows*? We thought you were talking about windows, you know in your house. An operating system, of course, how silly of us. Sure, you could modularlize it, no problem.
Too much stress. Just get the Caffeine IV System (TM). I tried the gum, I tried the patch. (Don't even ask about the suppositories.) Nothing is as good as hitting the mainline at dawn. Instant ability to deal with the world. Never use your snooze alarm again.

The article (not available online in full as far as I can find) mentioned that 'Wolf and dog were provided by Doug Seus's Wasatch Rocky Mountain Wildlife, Utah' -- they actually grew up together so were pretty familiar with each other. Some more text online (from this page)
Raw meat and doggy snacks kept these distant cousins in line over a two-day photo shoot, says photographer Robert Clark. And even that only bought him seconds of time to snap this quirky, yet captivating image featured on the January cover of National Geographic.
"Getting the wolf in the right position with the right expression was the hardest thing," Clark says. "It took me 120 frames to get what I wanted."
What he wanted most was a portrait that captured poise and eyes so attuned to the camera that they followed the viewer right off the page. At the same time, he also needed an image simple enough to clinch the story's headline, "Wolf to Woof," with one glance, while still getting people to wonder how they got the two together.
But more than getting Koda and Simon to stand up, sit down, or look at the 140mm lens on his Mamiya-RZ67 camera, the key ingredient to capturing this photograph was planning.
Three days before the shoot Clark transformed a garage into a studio with a backdrop, a platform, and six strobe lights to highlight the animals' fur. Although Koda has starred in TV commercials and an Imax movie, he needed time to shed his skittishness and warm up to the environment.
"At one point, all the people were talking, and the wolf just let out a beautiful low-level howl... as if he was howling at the moon," Clark says. "It was beautiful, but it reminded us that even though he was trained, we were still with a wild animal."
One of my favorite pictures that I've seen in recent memory was from this past January's National Geographic, in an article about the evolution of dogs from wolves: a wolf, a dog, and an Aibo hanging out. From the page:
Facing the Future Even with its battery removed, an Aibo robot got the full attention of Koda the wolf and Simon the Maltese during a studio shoot. Koda, a trained captive-born wolf, had worked with Simon but not with the robot. At first he moved away from the motionless Aibo, says photographer Robert Clark. Then, curious, he sniffed it and chewed off a plastic ear. Doug Seus, Koda's owner and trainer, says that while dogs can easily form new relationships after they are about six months old, wolves are genetically programmed not to accept strangers. "It's a built-in survival technique to limit the size of the pack." Confronted with the unknown, wolves are either extremely timid or extremely aggressive, he says. "They may look like a big dog, but they are psychologically different."

The results of that suit would serve him right as well. ;)

Have you heard about the Unreal Tournament Marathon mod, Marathon Resurrection?
The larger point being, of course, that not everybody lip syncs on *stage*.
She's an idoru sans the redeeming qualities.
Does anyone know if there's a windows port/equivalent of this software?

I, a Mac OS X user, have been waiting for this day since the original Marathon came out. BWA HA HA HA HA THE POWER!!!!
Sorry, now back to your regularly scheduled thread. LOL

Run, don't walk, to Amazon.com or meatspace store and get those books immediately. You won't regret it.
Thinking of The Shrike still gives me shivers.
Alameda... wasn't that where the 'nuclear wessels' were? :)
Actually, I think C-3P0 had the effect, since he says it in Return of the Jedi. s/Wude/Rude, of course. :)
I'm surprised you didn't say 'It's coitains for you, Mugsy, coitains!'
Mod parent down, it's Flamebait if I've heard it. ;)

A great idea, but then you-know-who will want to call it the GNU/Shuttle. ;)
I say put it up on ThinkGeek in a new category just under 'Stuff You Wear' -- 'Stuff You Fly Into LEO'.
Not me. I like 'em. :)
If you're not into it anymore, why not go to your preferences and turn off stories from the Microsoft topic?

Weird. By about a third of the way through that paragraph, by brain had adapted, so that I was up to normal reading speed halfway.
Kind of like any loud, annoying, repetitive sound (or person), you get used to it... or ignore it.

I must not be stressed.
Stress is the mind-killer.
Stress is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my stress.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the stress has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
Wesley's too busy playing GTA3 on the holodeck and being a rabble rouser in Pasadena. ;)
Well, oddly enough

That would sure give 'Cry "Havoc!" and let slip the dogs of war!' a whole new meaning. :)
