Thats interesting that you say that, because I am friends with three different rap groups all trying to get started. The don't care about contracts, they don't care about the bullish tactics of the RIAA, they don't care about any of that. They mix music on their computers, a few have beat machines and they just rap. These guys are really talented, but they want to be signed. They will become a part of the thing we hate most, but they really want quick money. How do you talk to people like this.
This is quite interesting. Being a geek and BCS (broke college student), I was able to work at Six Flags Over GA and operate the batman ride coaster. In some areas, the ride does exceed 4.6g's for a few moments and rides at around 55-60 mph. Of course, the holy grail of coasters was de ja vu, which would actually exceed the 5.6g and hit around 6.4 I belive, but only in the first turn and went around at about 70-75mph. None of the numbers are very precise, because each ride can be different. We acutally never even think of it as speed, but as cycle time. Each time you ride, it is different due to how many riders, their height/weight, where they are seated etc and the weather conditions and condition of the track. The g's can change due to these factors, and the high cases are probably rare. Also, the computers monitoring these beasts can have rules set on them and as long as they do not exceed a set limit, the can brake the coasters in certain areas to keep things slower. (I've always wanted to see what kind of hardware was controlling these beasts, but they are locked and protected by a halon fire supression system) I'm glad they are not imposing that rule here.

I feel you man, my karma is good as well but I gets no respect. My submitions have all been pretty juicy, but its obviously good ole boy when it comes to acceptance. Oh well,maybe I"ll start my own nerd news site.
real men get piss drunk while playing all night long. My personal favorite is Vodka and Red Bull. The Red Bull gives you wings, the Vodka gives you a buzz. It really enhances your game!
To a certain extent we are already witnessing this. Its not unlikely for you to go to the store and see tons of no-name DVD players. Apex, Daewoo and SHinco line the shelves. These players are made over seas and have become extremely popular due to their cheap price and easy modability. I would not doubt that the same thing will happen in future products. One of the reasons why the powers that be haven't clamped down on those DVD manufacturers is that they make it easy for consumers to buy the hardware. Of course when they own hardware, they own software.

Quoth the user "The millitary applications for this are also good - since no-one would look twice at a Humming-bird on a battle feild, they could be fitted with explosive devices to create humming-suicide-bombers (although the payload would be small)." This was tried already years ago. During WW2, the US army experimented in tying small bombs to the legs of bats. When the bats were set free, they would go home to roost in dark areas, hopefully enemy buildings and the bombs would explode.
don't forget that if it was freshly poured, then its hot too. Nothing is worse than scraping a hot, disgusting grease trap that burns and tatooes little pieces of food and dirt to your skin.

using internet explorer to surf the internet and do anything important is like fucking a prostitute with no condom

now instead of having the FBI raid parties for drugs, you would have the RIAA raiding parties for pirated songs.
