um, if you actually bothered to look around, the matrix website has alot more content than most movie sites. I've spent hours reading short stories, comics, production info and interviews. Perhaps it seemed like there wasn't much because you only looked at the reloaded section?
Here in Canada, Rogers charges $40 for internet access, $90 for cable (not basic) and about $40 for cell phone. That only comes up to about $170 per month, which in American Dollars is only about $112.
IF i remember correctly, GameCube discs are burnt from the outside in, not the other way around. Currently there are no consumer burners that are capable of burning from the outside tracks of a DVD.
VCD is not MPEG-4, it is MPEG-1 encoded at a lower bit-rate than what DVD is encoded at. If i understand the VCD standard, it is merely a 352*240 mpeg encoded at a 1.15mbps bitrate.
And MPEG-2 is definetely not higher quality than MPEG-4. MPEG-4 can be encoded at lower bit-rates than MPEG-2 and still have better image quality. The only reason the mpeg-4 movies you have seen are filled with artifacts is that they havent been encoded in a high enough bitrate. I have seen Div-x movies encoded at DVD quality, except their file sizes balloon up to 15 megs for 2 minutes of video.
Steve Gibson(along with EasyspeakDSL) over at shacknews is starting to offer shackdsl, which is geared totally towards gamers. Static IP, SDSL connection (758k I think), direct access to dedicated game servers. However, it doesnt come cheap, i think it is around $90 per month.
THe smtp and pop addresses they use in the instructions are correct, but only if you are not behind some sort of router/NAT setup. I have a router and my settings are pop.broadband.rogers.com and smtp.broadband.rogers.com. No need to find out the routers name.
WHy would you be using Photoshop (or even Internet Explorer) to open Jpegs and Gifs? Just install a freeware program like xnview that opens much quicker than IE, as well as provides you with some basic image editing options. I've been doing that since Win95, and now in XP, there is a default picture viewer that does this automatically.
Well, bush is already in the pocket of Big Oil (and thus the big 3 car manufacturers). Is it no surprise that he was bought out so quickly by the MS lobbyists.
Most of their research is highly abstract, and rarely gets incorporated into MS software in its pure form. The problem with microsoft is that some of these really innovative technologies get mangled by the marketers and managers into something that the research is not yet capable of doing. That is why it usually takes them 3 or 4 trys before they get anything right.
Geez, you would think that on/. people would know that Sircam was not Outlook specific. I had a friend (who is rather computer illiterate) who doesn't even use outlook and stilll managed to spread the virus. Sircam doesnt just use the outlook address book for viruses, it looks through your temporary internet files for anything it seems like an email address (this is the reason why Tacoboy would whine like a sissyboy about the gigs of email he was gettign from sircam). Sircam require outlook to propogate, it had its own internal SMTp engine. Sircam was not outlook specific, merely windows specific. And i am sure that it would be really easy to make a port to linux (but i could be mistaken since i know jackshit about programming or unix). The true innovation of the sircam virus was its social engineering aspect. People are always curious to open documents, even if they know that it wasnt meant to be sent to them.
I find that apart from the mindstorms series, most lego today has too many specialized bricks that are only useful for building one type of design. Even the technics models of today are rather limited in their ability to redesign a new types of cars and spaceships. I think that Lego is making their products too much like video-games, build once and discard. They should start offering large amounts of generic bricks and connectors of all types (especially the 1*8 beams, they are the best for designing houses and wireframe cars)
(OT)CNN is part of AOL-TW

This is a bit off-topic, but it has to be said. In case you (yes, you jonkatz!) didnt realise, CNN is part of AOL-TW. CNN is not trying to appeal to a younger audience, AOL-TW is using it as a platform to sell its other interests. That is why on top of the CNN webpage there are links to download AIM, Netscape, AOL (500 hours free!). I think that AOL-TW is the worst perpetrator of "synergy", every damn thing they do has some kind of tie-in with another type of media.
Federally funded research also has oversite bodies to ensure that ethical and moral views are taken into consideration. I still don't understand why you are opposed to federally funded research, but not to privately funded research.
This is a bit off-topic, but it has to be said. Science did not believe that the earth was the center of the universe, nor did it believe that the earth was flat. Those were myths perpetuated by tradition and a literal reading of the bible ("the four corners of the world"). The truth is that science proved that the earth was round, and that it was not the centre of the universe.
And to be on-topic, what difference does it make that the research is funded by the federal government or provate funds? Why should the federally funded programs be expected to adhere to certain ethical standards, while private research can practically do what it likes?
yah, and outlook is just pine with a pretty interface. And internet explorer is just lynx with graphics. I'm pretty sure that microsoft stole the code for calculator from xcalc. They practically work alike, so Microsoft MUST have stolen it from the GPL'd version.
lets not forget about the rectangles. I dodnt think light saber technology would have ever suceeded if it never had the essential "rectangle" component in it.
Have you ever thought that maybe spammers create lists of common names and email address (eg johnsmith@*, Jilltang@*, smiles4life@* etc) , and then proceed to bombard them. If they dont get a bounced e-mail, it means that the username is active and they will carry on e-mailing it. I have a hotmail account which also gets over a 100 spams a day. I never gave out the address, but it is a fairly simple address (just my name with 2 intitals). I also have another hotmail account with a much more complex name, and i get practically no spam, apart from the services that i signed up for using that e-mail.
One of the quickest and best ways to access mp3's, movies, warez and pr0n is through the @home news-servers. So, isnt it a bit hypocritical that @home is cracking down on their customers mp3 sharing, while back on their servers you can download over 100 albums, 3 iso's and 5 movies a day. and that is without access to the alt.bin.warez and alt.bin.cd-image newsgroups
And exactly what spyware does windows install? Do you still believe that ol BillyG has a backdoor to all your personal info? Microsoft already spreads enough FUD around, there is no need to add to it?

And how exactly were they "forced" to sell out? Did Big Bad Bill G place a gun at the owner's head and force them to sell out?

You forgot that Mozilla can do anything, including morphing windows and widgets.
and if the keyboard is faster, trying using it exclusively with photoshop
Open file types
Select CDA (the first entry)
Now winamp defaults as the program that opens when you insert a disc.
It's not exactly rocket science

actually pixar uses a buttload of Sun machines for the renderfarm. Sgi machines are mainly used for modelling and animation
