  5. Re:Go see it in theaters on 'Sith' Already Found Online · · Score: 5, Informative

    The download version is a workprint downsampled to a VCD then upsampled to a dvd at 1600Meg it looks pretty damn good and sounds good for a movie that was released the day before.

    The only problem is the counter at the top that runs through the whole film.

    I haven't watched it, just a few samples here and there, as I do plan on going to see it saturday with my g/f and if I watch it before then, I dont "get any" for a long time.

    If Lucas has anything to complain about, he needs to look into his chain of distribution as this could only have come from inside somewhere.

  17. Re:Coming to a WalMart Near You! on Plastic That Changes Shape In Light · · Score: 4, Informative

    One of the first widespread uses maybe but not first purpose. It was used in medical means over 20 years after its invention.

    Pasted from the straight dope

    "Super glue, Krazy glue, Eastman 910 and similar glues are all a special type of glue called cyanoacrylates. Cyanoacrylates were invented in 1942 by Dr. Harry Coover of Kodak Laboratories during experiments to make a special extra-clear plastic suitable for gun sights. He found they weren't suitable for that purpose, so he set the formula aside. Six years later he pulled it out of the drawer thinking it might be useful as a new plastic for airplane canopies. Wrong again--but he did find that cyanoacrylates would glue together many materials with incredible strength and quick action, including two very expensive prisms when he tried to test the ocular qualities of the substance. Seeing possibilities for a new adhesive, Kodak developed "Eastman #910" (later "Eastman 910") a few years later as the first true "super glue." In a now-famous demonstration conducted in 1959, Dr. Coover displayed the strength of this new product on the early television show "I've Got a Secret," where he used a single drop placed between two steel cylinders to lift the host of the show, Garry Moore, completely off of the ground.

    The use of cyanoacrylate glues in medicine was considered fairly early on. Eastman Kodak and Ethicon began studying whether the glues could be used to hold human tissue together for surgery. In 1964 Eastman submitted an application to use cyanoacrylate glues to seal wounds to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Soon afterward Dr. Coover's glue did find use in Vietnam--reportedly in 1966 cyanoacrylates were tested on-site by a specially trained surgical team, with impressive results."

    Now as for AOL UK, that to me sounds wrong, I mean we had the Boston Tea Party and that whole revolution thing, but yet they want to use some CRAPPY internet provider from here? Sometimes I think I'll never understand the Brits, but then Saturday comes and I get another episode of Doctor Who to download.

    Its all sitting in my old room at my parents house 1500 miles away, because it all toooo heavy to ship, (these were the lead ones) I recently got into painting diaoramas and I went and showed the guys at the local GWstore and thier jaws dropped at sing pictures of what I had, I swear I had more than they did, and no one could believe that i could field 100k armies, with todays 10k armies, and 2500 pt skirmishes that they have.

  25. SSN as ID on 100,000 More Social Security Numbers Exposed · · Score: 1

    MAYBE, just MAYBE this will lead to a ban on using your Social Security Number as identification to anyone other than the banks, employers, or anyone with whom you have financial dealings, a school doesnt need to use SSN's on thier ID's, States dont need to use SSN's as a Drivers licence number.

    NO ONE needs to use my SSN on anything for verification or that I can carry around except for my Social Security Card, which I only use for work.
