I remember a few years back, there was a comment on growing algae in space. While some forms of algae are edible,I would hardly think anyone would want to consume it. However, it is known that growing algae in a vacuum can produce hydrogen. Growing other species of algae within a pressurized environment can produce oxygen. What would be excellent is if the astronauts could not only "grow" their food supply and life support, but also "grow" their fuel. http://www.21stcenturyradio.com/NP02-24-200 0c.html
Judging from the replies here, I'm guessing none of you have seen the new segway centaur prototype. It has been shown working its way about grassy terrain, and moving over obstacles such as boxes. While it is a 4 wheeled vehicle, it also has the power to do the two wheeled balancing act of its older segway cousin. i suggest you all check it out, before dooming this military project. http://www.segway.com/centaur/
hmm, all of these annoying stereo systems seem to be the result of people who just don't know how to build and properly tune or modify their car. I'm a car guy and a computer guy, melding the two hobbies. My car sports a dell PC in the trunk, connected to a 1400w amp with 3 10" woofers, rated at 1000 watts. I keep my system around 60% volume most of the time, and while its loud enough to cause all 4 seats in my car to rumble as well as the rear view and side view mirrors, it does not intrude on other people's lives. its all about how you build your system. One word. Dynamat! People who build their systems to blast loud outside have no knowledge of how to build a proper system, as a person who has done a proper audio system can enjoy their bass fully inside the car, with a minumum of intrusion on those outside.
As for spoilers, lowering, kits etc. I'm against those as well. I prefer sleepers. A lot of true performance enthusiasts rely upon turbocharging as a method of increasing power today, so *real* performance cars usually are not too noisy. The turbocharger sits directly upon the exhaust, and its spinning turbine does a great deal of muffling to the exhaust coming off the engine. Besides a faint whine and the occaisional blow-off of compressed air, most turbo cars are far quieter than you would think. Even running 3" open downpipe, my car is still quieter than my friends cobra mustang equipped with knock-off exhaust. Please, please, please don't confuse idiot tuners (ricers) with real car enthusiasts. Majority of those out there with the 120hp honda, loud stereo "blinging" rims, and 4ft wing wouldn't know how to install any real modifications to their vehicle anyway, as they've never been under the hood to do something more complex than an oil change.
the krogers here in atlanta had a very similar device years ago back in the early 90s to assist in shopping. It consisted of an LCD with a touchpad attached to the front of the cart, with an index of the entire store's inventory on screen. As you would pass by the row, it would show items onscreen and show what was on sale. Also, you could do an item lookup for troublesome items by name or category, and it would show a small map of the store with the row that the item could be found on. Does anyone else remember these shopping carts? I distincly remember playing with them in my youth, as my mother was horrible with technology (she still is now lol) and used it to locate items throughout the store. From what I remember, they weren't quite weatherproof and ran low on batteries. After awhile, the units ceased to function and disappeared from the area kroger stores all together.
I've seen the movie, and it is without doubt, the worst movie ever made. It was rightfully not released. Its pitiful. Pitiful bad but bad in an MST3k way. I recommend watching it with copious amounts of booze. It was leaked onto your favorite.torrent and file sharing app just last year. If you watch it, it only makes you wonder who had to suck whose member in hollywood for this film to be greenlit.

Am I the only one who sees the paradox in this story title? It says high end gaming workstation for fscks sakes! Why not just high end gamestation. I swear, this is worst than extra jumbo shrimp.
The aftermarket car modding industry is nice, when you've got chips & whatnot to put into your car and run more fuel, but for older cars, you do need that extra oomph. I run a turbo volvo, and while I generally get laughed at by civics, mustangs and its ilk, I can outrun em:) No megasquirt yet, but 15lbs of boost and around 220rwhp. Guys over at turbobricks run very wild setups and there are a few success stories involving megasquirt.
Forced induction will cause a need for an additional amount of fuel, and this thing is just the ticket. While I run at the ragged edge of reliability at 15-17psi, there are guys running boost in the 20's with this setup, the proper intercooler and turbo. And also much faster.
toupsie: "I never understood SONY's passion for the quirkiest Windows release with its notebook."
I"m sure what you meant to say was "I never understood Sony's passion for the SHITTIEST Windows release with its notebook." I like all other slashdotters and non-slashdotten can all agree that Win ME is easily the worst Windows produced since 1.0
Not sure why they put in all the effort. When in doubt, turbo it. My old, boxy, heavy volvo 740turbo weighing in at 3200lbs, with A/C but my subwoofer removed will run a 14.6 in the quarter. How can a boxy, old, heavy machine do that? Turbo!!! No exhaust, free flowing intake, ram air, turbo, saab APC boost controller, 35lb injectors, Rising Rate Fuel Pressure REgulator, Euro "A" cam and Performance Plug Wires with NGK plugs to round it out. The car still looks like shite too, but its fun to pick on the rice. I love revving my old volvo next to the honda on 20" rims who thinks he's fast....little do they know.
I'm not so sure about hiding messages in executables, but there were two interesting messages hidden in the n64 game The new tetris. The messages were hidden in 00B8FF90 of the US ROM. They were also in the PAL rom about 2k further. Anyway, here it goes:
****START MARTIST RANT**** I must say, this was a fun time coming down to San Francisco to do The New Tetris. Allthough there were a few problems. First of all being our producer.. D*N, my god.. is this guy useless or what?? I don't hate you D*N.. but you SUCK, and I mean SUCK as a producer. You should go back to testing video games, but I doubt you could even manage that properly. I feel sorry for you. During this project you just sat around and played video games.. starcraft and everquest. Don't even deny that.. when you WERE working, it was making stupid Excel (tm) spreadsheets to try and tell me how many bugs I had left to fix on a graph.. like WTF is that??? who cares.. I have the bug list in front of me, like I need to see it in freaking technicolor. So D*N, I must say this.. hold onto, and fake your job while you can, because once they find out how truely useless you are, you will be out of a job. I cannot think of any skillset you would fit into in this industry, so you better hold on tight. (This guy thought I could save a name in 8.4 BITS.. like umm...4 BITS?? WTF is.4 BITS?? its either ON or OFF, not in between... anyhow, Enough about you though. To Nintendo.. It has been nice working with you.. Alot of you are great or were great. Tom 'Snoop Dog' Hertzog - you were great.. one of the nicest people I have ever met at Nintendo. You and your crews bug testing was outstanding and I commend you for the excellent work. Erich Waas - You know we have been friends a long time, but I must say this. After you had accepted the ART form for The New Tetris, and later on your higher ups said it was not UNISEX enough, you slapped the blame on H2O, Chris Bretz in particular. You did not have the balls to accept blame for your mistake, and stuck our entire team under IMMENSE stress and FRENZY. This to save your A$$ from getting in trouble at Nintendo. I still like you Erich, which is more than I can say for the rest of the team that you screwed because of this. But I guess your standing at Nintendo is more important than the friendships you had here. You always knew we had telent and you recognized that. I know you wanted to work with us again one day maybe outside of Nintendo, I think you screwed up those chances though. While I am screaming.. I might as well say this: Niel Voss.. your music is freaking KICK A$$.. you are one really damn talented boy. BUT, you are one of the laziest music guys I think there is You could go far if you wanted to, but you just lack the GO for it. It is a shame. I wish you all the luck and would reccomend you to ANYBODY just because even though everything is last minute, and like pulling teeth, the end result is AMAZING. I am leaving H2O after this project to work at 3DO. I hope this will be a good move for me. I love H2O, As amazingly disorganized of a company it is. I LOVE the people, I have so many good friends there. It will be hard to move on. Of course they will stay my friends. They were more than just co-workers.. they were FRIENDS. They were the people I lived with, spent my days and nights with.. went to bars with, camped with, drank with (alot), did other bad things with (wont elaborate ). They are true great friends, and I love them all and will miss them dearly. Allthough Vancouver is only a 2 hour flight away, I hope I can visit often. My best friends would include. Ross, Max, Scott, Jake, Bretz, Roland, Johnny, Sarah.. these are the people I love the most. And I wish you success. My 4.5 years at H2O were basically, making games.. drinking alot, playing pool alot, going to bars and raves and dancing while really screwed up in the head. THAT HAS TO BE THE MOST FUN I HAVE EVER HAD, and probably ever will. The good old days. These guys are in Vancouver right now because I got stuck finishing this project in San Francisco (Which by all means I LOVE and am staying (hence 3DO)) Well boys and girls, I just thought I would immortalize some thoughts I have at the moment into a rom which will be burned forever. This game sucks. The music is great but the game itself is not how we wanted it unfortunately. I mean, it is a good game, but some things could be polished, as well as sped up. Could use another month to finish this thing off AFTER all the bugs are fixed. oh well, woh is me. I would love to give special loves and kisses to the following. My Girlfriend Amy Bond, My Family (Joy, Allyson, Jon Pridie, Brant Sangster), My really really best old friends Selim Arikan, Cory Haberly, Jason Vasilash, Alfred Huger, Oliver Friedrichs. Goodbye H2O, it was a blast, and I mean that with all my heart. (C) 1999 July 1 David Pridie If you are reading this, you can obviously see this disclaimer. All this material belongs to David Pridie.

I thank that scene for teaching me how to program, because without it I don't think I would be where I am today. Well that does it 4.5 years and Two games later (Tetrisphere and New Tetris).

If your under 18 I don't give a sh1t about what you have to say...21] The singer Brandy, Celine Dion, all the divas....22] Twits who wear a huge parka outside when its sunny and a mild 5-10 C.

Shoot them ALL!48] Losers that listen to totally cheezy radio stations and then slap dozens of their stupid stickers all over thier car.49] Lilith Fair. I say when they are all hugging, listening to the music, sharing tampons, and bitching about how evil men are, toss in a few hundered grenades while recording it on camera. Sell the video as a 'To Hot for TV' tape late at night.50] Cheap a$$ manufacturers of DVDs who list as 'features' chapters, interactive menues, and the time. These arent features. Thats like calling your computers keyboard a 'feature'. Lame a$$ marketing people.51] DVD manufactureres that sell their DVDs for $40 and up, just because they know people will pay for it. DVDs have actually become MORE expensive than when they first came out.52] Nintendo and everything about them.53] Old people who clog up the sidewalk walking super slow when you want to get somewhere.54] Looking at demo-reels at work that are so incredibly bad, that I just want to call them up and tell them to go f*ck their demo reel and to never EVER send another one out to anybody. EVER.55] Spiders. All spiders. Everyone of them.56] How on the Nintendo 64 game machine, half the damn titles for it are called 'miscvidgame 64'. Why not come up with a real name? Why is everyone just slapping a 64 on all the games?**********END LUPIN RANT********

Well you know what they say. Sometimes you have to give your windows a good soaking to get them clean.
This must be stopped! The terrorist could build their own sub and with some estes rockets, they could have a water going launching platform for weapons of mass destruction. We must stop this now! Will somebody please think of the unborn baby whales
You area all right. I probably couldn't see the difference between a set of non-monster cables, but the difference between that and the s-video I had on there was phenomenal. The dvd player runs on a toshiba theatre view 1055, and you can really see the difference in color.
Plus, you feel baller-ific when you say you spent more on cables than your DVD player.

You area all right. I probably couldn't see the difference between a set of non-monster cables, but the difference between that and the s-video I had on there was phenomenal. The dvd player runs on a toshiba theatre view 1055, and you can really see the difference in color.
Plus, you feel baller-ific when you say you spent more on cables than your DVD player.
thats about right. I got a set of 12ft Y/CR/BR cables for $72 from Hifi buys.
