What he needs to do is make a clay mold of the GBA, take the GBA apart, and make a mold to cover the inside specs too.
Take the RIT Dye, GBA, and FIRED clay mold (go to an arts and crafts store) put the GBA peices in the mold (with the inside peices there to keep it's parameters/stop it from warping)
Boil the RIT dye solution (Make it a little heavier since you're not dying cloth. Put as much as you can in there. Drop the GBA in the dye, and boil it for an hour or two. Pull it out, let it cool, and it should dye without shrinking.
Course, a REAL MAN would make a PLASTER MOLD of the GBA, inside and out, and pick up the stuff you need to make one out of CARBON FIBER, or FIBERGLASS/Resin. A friend of mine converted a streetbike for enduro racing and did just that. It came out green, and black (thread/fiber yarn) zigzagged. it ROCKED!!
And when our qualified personel arrived, we discovered that she wasn't actuually as qualified as we had hoped. Then she quit. Hemos or I will update this story as soon as we know what the hell happened.
One of you morons probably left your computer on, with the browswer set to Why I got Fired from Atom Films and SHE Saw it...
The sites listed almost all have copyrighted/trademark names, and indeed, are fairly self explanatory in exactly WHAT it is they are distributing.
Technically, blocking those isn't censorship. It's simply following the law.
For the flamers out there (!gay "flamers) who think that so and so, or this and that need to "make a stand against the DMCA!!" Think about this...
A company, or individual who flaunts the law has a harder time enforcing their rights BY LAW. It's been proven. It goes something like this: if these guys had said "screw that, were not going to block it, despite the legalities of it" they may, or may not have had to go to court to defend their right. But, when/if they DID have to go to court for something else, their not wanting to follow along with the law's intent would show.
And, if by going to court, they were FORCED to pull those groups, that would set a legal precedent for EVERY ISP across the nation, and they would be forced to pull them too. It is seldom that a recent ruling is set aside for an individual.
If you want to fight the DMCA, or this, write your congressmen. Don't sit there and lament when this happens. It's not their fault, it's the fault of the American Voter, period. Use your rights. Don't expect a company to fight YOUR good fight.
See, FUD is used when you speak an "untruth" about something or someone. Or, you want a desired result that is somehow beneficial to you. Or, when you are worried that the truth about yourself may be harmful. This isn't "untruth". This isn't "made up". This is actually a fairly delicate way of stating that:
Scientology uses tactics such as stalking, hiring investigators to dig up dirt on you, harrassment (picketing), disruption of your daily routine, physical assault, threats, lies, spreading rumors about you (such as a letter to your neighbors stating your a pedophile, convicted rapist, etc.) threatened litigation, and yes, even the assault and battery of your animal companion to the point of death. They even cover up deaths to avoid court prosecution.
www.videorotten.com, or www.xenu.net
This is not FUD. These are all documented statements made by people who, for one reason or another, were labeled as "enemies" of Scientology, and either spoke out about it, or threatened to.
These people had their lives ruined, lost loved ones, were alienated from their families, and all kinds of other nifty, nasty things.
LRH (L. Ron Hubbard for the uninitiated) has been quoted by his peers on COUNTLESS occasions that "the best way to make money was to start a religion".
And "If they are enemies, do not stop until they are destroyed utterly."
and "Litigation does not have to succeed, it only has to harrass to be effective."
And countless other footbazooka quotes that can be read at
www.xenu.net
Check it out. Take a bit of time.
You'll see that Scientology has left a paper trail every bit as damning as the "Halloween Documents" presented on the internet by Microsoft. It's NOT FUD. It's a statement of fact.
These people aren't nice. They aren't your friends. They don't warrant defense. The only thing they deserve is to be pitied, and ignored.
hmmmm.... Maybe Slashdot needs to relocate to Canada so we don't have to worry about posts getting yanked.
The fact that Henson has "won" isn't really true YET. Just remember, that just because he's in Canada, it doesn't mean he's untouchable. So, for as long as it takes for this CULT to implode, he'll have to abide by the following rules...
1. NO Personality tests. Period.
2. No Pets. Scientologists like to release the "Thetans" in Pets. By killing them.
3. He won't be able to visit used bookstores, as Scientologists will undoubtedly recognize him from LRH's next book (from the grave) "The Enemy".
4. He'll have to deal with getting picketed.
5. He'll have to explain to his neighbors that NO, He's not a pedophile, and a rapist, and involved with the Occult. (anymore)
However, he should be able to Drive, buy bathing products, eat normally, AND live in a *gasp* house. All ideas that a normal scientologist loses when one of those videos SUCKS the INTELLIGENCE right out of em...
I think I killed a xenu once... I threw his familiar out the window, and he couldn't survive the system shock. That was a LONG time ago though.
"Thomson Media" announced today that not only are they going to make smart cards for home appliances, they are going to take the technology one step further, and start distributing "wetware" smart cards.
The implications of this are enourmous. First of all, think about it... If a smart card reader were required to read/post to slashdot, the trolls could be effectively shut down.
And, with true smart cards, the computer might actually realize that either A. The person is an idiot and therefore should not be allowed to turn on the computer. B. The person is an idiot, and direct said person to either a modified slashdot (with a direct port from an alt.scientology sporger bot), or an "Open Source" intelligence site so they can download the required IQ before reading Slashdot.
Add that moderators (Who will probably rate this -1, Flamebait) who actually moderate smartly, and we're talkin some no scroll required, kickass discussions!!

Why did I think I was going to get that "make your time, we own *.*" electronica backbeat video by clicking on *ANY* of those links?
Don't you editors check the title for an ENGLISH version?
I had a player in a D&D campaign once who (running a barbarian without *common*) started talking like that.
I thought they smoked a bowl before they showed to the game.
Actually, due to the political differences between the two countries, I'm quite sure the US would be more than happy to allow *EVERY* Cuban TRUCKER to ATTEMPT to drive their vehicle to the US.
Being a sysadmin has to be one of the greatest joys out there. Screw the social life.
The "Power Overwhelming" feeling gives me a hardon that would make Natalie Portman blush.
My maniacal laughs can be heard throughout the office, as I roam from system to system, wreaking havoc, restarting computers remotely on people I don't like, and checking the bosses E-Mail and deleting the ones that tell them to reduce my pay.
The only other job I would consider is the "prairie dog clapper". (The guy who makes a loud noise in the cubicles which prompts everyone to stand up and look for the source, creating a "prairie dog" effect.)
I don't see why it matters if someone has a patent on an item. So long as the next guy (University) can prove that they did not use that persons processes knowingly to reproduce the effect.
To that end, patents should be for unique items/processes. When the end result of said patent is reproduced through other means, that patent should be nullified.
Can you imagine it if some neanderthal had managed to patent the wheel?
UGGTHUG--"Me Make Round Thingy!"
ATHGAR--"Me Want Round Thingy!"
UGGTHUG--"I are Patent. You No Have Unless Pay UGGTHUG!"
ATHGAR--"Me Make Round Thingy Then. No Pay UGGTHUG!"
UGGTHUG--"ATHGAR Can No Make Round Thingy with UGGTHUG Patent!"
ATHGAR--"Where This Patent?"
UGGTHUG--Points to head
Insert repeated sounds of club whacking and screaming here.
So many people today simply don't cross over into other areas when they are looking for something.
The best item I've found (I'm not an overclocker, mind you) to quiet hard drives, and CD roms are the following items...
1. Teflon tape. Wrap it around the head of mounting screws. It will act as a "threadlocker" for high RPM CD-Roms (which can loosen the screws through vibration.
2. Thin rubber mat. See above.
3. DynaMat, or another acoustic absorbing material.
In fact, the ultimate way to quiet a PC is to make a "snorkle, over the top side of the PC. Take some sheet tin, available at any hardware store, use a razor blade, and a pair of tin snips, or heavy duty scissors. Leave small fins for mounting it to the back of your PC, line it with DynaMat, and you've just knocked out about 60 to 70 percent of your PC's noise, the cooling fans. Make sure you use a rubber, or teflon washer when mounting it.
Line the inside of the PC with DynaMat, (leave room for vents, of course) and the only sound you'll hear from your PC is when you're swearing at it.
"The dot com Andover, owner of the website www.slashdot.org, is being sued by several entities of unkown origin. In their public announcement, which was peiced together over the SETI@home program, these entities stated the following...

It's probably because they have to stop, read, and post comments about M$'s latest scam on slashdot.
And they'd be making at least TWICE as much progress without having to read Jon Katz.

I just went through it the other day, and had to download a program that wiped the files on boot-up, before windows started.
It's called Window Washer, shareware. Check tucows.
And somehow, you think that because Linux stores the files/text of where you went somewhere they're the same? I highly doubt it.
First of all, in Linux, you 0wn the system if you want to. You can pretty much do what you want.
Show me how to do that in Win98, running IE 5.5, and I'll be impressed. Try the old "Dos/Delete" trick, and see where it gets you.
HINT: You won't even see where to go unless you do a dir -a in the tempor~1 folder.
