I've seen a few movies of this type. They all have a text that flys by on the bottom every 20 minutes or so that say somthing to the effect of: This is a screening version... If you have purchased or rented this it is ILLEGAL... call this number... calls are confidential. The way I see it. If your freind gives you a copy, then there's nothing wrong. Anybody got a copy?
By the way, I don't want to just have it for the sake of having it. If I had it, I'd watch it constantly and buy BOTH widescreen versions of the DVD, rather than changing discs five or six times during the 3 1/2 hour movie.
I have seen sales goons literally gut a company that once had a bright future.
IIRC Best Buy lost their contract with Apple because their sales reps were calling the computers junk and to some extents, rufusing to sell them. This behaivor was encuraged by the managment because the I Mac's didn't make as much cash as the rest.
When I was working there I would have to swear to all that is Holy, that I was the smartest person in there. I worked in car audio and was the only one who knew what the "W" meant (not the word, but atually what a Watt was) after the description of a Subwoofer. The computer guys were worse than that. I switched over to shelf-stocking because I knew that they were basically expected to be stupid dolts. Turns out, there were the other smart people working there.
My work has bought four Dell systems with the SDRAM package (my boss thought he got a great deal). They are all 1.7GHz systems, but the old 1.2GHz systems with the RAMBUS still at about the same speed. I'm basing this on Adobe Photoshop as we have the machines set up rather close to each other.
I told him that I could build some AMD machines that would be speed demons compared to the new Dells that he picked up, for about 500 less, but all he did was whine about the time it takes to support it if something goes wrong. He also has a problem paying 35 bucks for a cooler when there are $10 coolermasters (IMO these are all terrible) that will "do the same job."

So... how long before the word "CHA" appears on the moon. A la The Tick.
My computer has the Radeon VE card in it. So, all I do to watch a DVD upstairs is throw a couple of switches that I got from RadioShack and voila, my stereo system upstairs is now enable with sound from my computer in the Auxiliary, and all the remote I need is my cordless keyboard and mouse, which transmit via radio right through the floorboards. Sounds great with my Audigy, looks good, but not that good. It's a really old TV.
Most car stereos have the ability to expand into XM Satellite recievers, as per the article, (including mine). The reciever costs more than the Stereo did, but I know that there are some great satellite radio stations out there (come on, you know you want to listen to Reggae).
Does anybody have experiance with these? How well do they work? How much does it cost per month (if it does). The main thing I see is that the stations should never fade out.
I want to say that from my experiances with psycology, phylosophy, and just people, that it is pre-programmed within all beings that there is a supreme being. Whether this be a longing for acceptance, guidence, or just something to believe in, it is there.
Without being too troll-like, I would also like to submit that your vary statment is in itself, contraditiary. You are saying that there could be no idea of or about God without being told, and yet, we have this idea? Someone, or something must have told the first "spirited" human or being.
Yes, I am a Christian, but I haven't always been. Long before I cared about faith, I always knew that ther was a supreme being. I'm a pretty big techie, and to me there realy is no sense in saying there isn't a God (for me). If there isn't, then there isn't,... and there are billions of people in for dissapointment when their spirit wanders the Earth, or Sheol, or wherever for all eternity after they die.
Just think of this, try to imagine not existing, because I know you cannot do it, nobody can. I believe that the human (indiviual) spirit is indestructable. I even wager that God would have trouble smutting it out.
So... when can I play Civ III, Rogue Spear, or Counterstrike on the whole trainride to Florida to visit my grandparents over a Bluetooth network?
I saw that the new Dell laptops can come with the proper network adapters.
I used to get my tail kicked all the time in King mode on Civ2... I guess they'd have to make it an RPG or FSP for me to get anywhere. -sigh- Still can't wait to try this one out.
If you've ever played Silent Hill for the PSX in the dark, you may know what it feels like to piss your pants.
The game starts off with you, a father, who is vacationing in a town called Silent Hill. Your daughter is kidnapped and you must find her. Well, the only equipment you have is a broken radio that doesn't make any noise unless there is an enemy nearby (mind you, the enemies in this game are things like dolls that are absolutely gruesome).
Also, the radio makes that white fuzz noise, like when you are inbetween stations, louder as something approaches, but never completly consistent. This is all in a fogged area. When you are outside, you can't see twenty feet in front of you, so when you hear the radio, you just turn around, but nothing is there.
This game is ten times freakier than any of the Resident Evil games ever were. There's a sequel for the PS2 coming out now. Just what I need, more urine on the couch...
Yet the case costs 200+ bucks? That seems like a contradition. Condidering that for many of us, not breaking the bank means going with the 32MB DDR video card instead of the 64MB Geforce 3 for 300 bucks.
Sounds like the best way would be to split up files and send from different nodes. Or perhaps you could use multiple nodes with one computer. I wouldn't know if you could just put a few NIC in your computer and send at say 90k, but it's worth a shot. Don't mod me down for being stupid, I'm just thinking out loud.
My brother has now been through three PS2's. He keeps sending them in and they keep "fixing" them, or giving him a new one. Until the warentee voids on one of them, this will continue (IE buy one, switch serials, and return should do the trick).
The first problem was that the video decided one day to stop outputting. Then next problem was the tray didn't close all the way. Then there were more video problems. It's been a hairy mess for him, but he likes the thing enough to put up with it.
I suppose if the XBox gets some killer apps, then it could be succesful (assuming the final release loads >60% of the time). Not bloody likely, though.
I notice a link to PD, but there is no link to JMax. I've been interested in developing my own sound and such. I just got a sound blaster Audigy, and the thing just rocks. Could you provide a link to get JMax. (yeah, I run windows).
I agree completely with you. I don't want the computer to have to go through more then 50 lines of machinecode just to put 'a' on the screen. OTOH I do appreciate it when Office tells me I don't know jack about grammer when I'm writing up some sort of letter or report.
Personally, I use a text editor for almost everything that nobody else needs to read. And a lot of what they do need to read. I won't say which, I may get flamed. I don't care if they gripe about the fact that it's only a text file and they don't like it. If it needs to look pretty, then I'm not the man to talk to anyway.
I was told to "aquire" 10 new lisences for NT at my place of work. So, I loaded up my favorite place to find prices online. I found some really cheap lisences for about 26 bucks. They said w/o CD, so I assumed that was the reason for the price being so good.
When they arrived, all I got was the books that have the authenticity cert on them. Each one had the "For distribution with a new PC only. NOT FOR RESALE" stickers partially remmoved. There went 260 down the drain.
We all can look up your various roles on the web. What kind of roles people attempt to cast you for? Are there any movies that you especially would like to have been in, or possibly in the future?
BTW, this may be a little off topic, but there are other services that allow music to be redistributed throughout people. Are these sites catching RIAA flak yet? Or does the RIAA not notice sites that don't get public spotlight?
I'd mention them, but I'm sure people know what they are. And I don't want them catching any flak by my account.
Every natively english speaking person I know that has learned Hebrew, or Greek believes strongly that english is the worst language in the world. And I know quite a few of these people. Something about the way Greek is easier to understand and English sounds like gibberish.
I've also heard it said that English is the hardest language in the world to learn, I'm not saying it it, but that's what I'm told by exchanges students and their ilk.

Anybody know if it's playing in the Twin Cities area? I'm a fan and I want to see this movie.

Maybe you haven't ever noticed, but Warburton did the Tick's voice on the series.
Ever played Xenogears? There is a character completely made of nanomachines. When she attacks, her fist turn into blades and spiked balls.
I used to get my tail kicked all the time in King mode on Civ2... I guess they'd have to make it an RPG or FSP for me to get anywhere. -sigh- Still can't wait to try this one out.

Remember the chick from The Mummy? She is a Geekess, but is beautiful too. Somewhat ditzy, very intellegent, and mad cute.

We can download audio from Robin Williams!

Quoting myself, "Sure, you can manually change the extension back,..."
I know very well how to do this. The shortcut to the program pops up every time, therefore I have a greater chance opening before deleting it.
