Despite efforts documented in bugzilla, attempts to "fix" Mozilla and Firefox by putting "Back" in that location, and to fix the context menus under Windows which don't display the menu until mouse up, have failed, apparently because the developers don't believe "Back" is actually used enough to justify such extravagances, or, in some cases, because they were asshats.
Yeah. Asshats.
Except, back is the top of the list. And good on them for not having the context menu come up on mousedown, that's not the way it happens on windows, and that convention shouldn't be broken. Not to mention it would render inpoerative the firefox pie-menu plugin, the greatest power-user interface ever created.
Except for the fact that in just about every fight scene in matrix 2/3, you can easily pick the moment they replaced the actors with lego men.
Worst. FX. Evar.
Except for the fight in blade II.
If you can't do a decent CG human, then use a stuntman. It's what they're for. Even spiderman looked better than the plastic fighters (albeit with wonderful capes) from the last two matrix films.
Nice try, but my housemate has a polarized pair of decent looking sunnies he got from the valley markets for $20. I however have an expensive pair since it's hard to find decent looking sunnies for my fat head, and they've got a lifetime frame warranty:)
Well I (and many of my mates) would have loved to vote for labour, if they hadn't promised to pull the troops out of iraq by christmas. It doesn't matter why we went any more, but if we all pack up and go home, everybody will be worse off. It would damage our relations with the US, and it would in no way improve relations with our neighbours, or stop the alleged hordes of terrorists that are supposedly trying to kill us. Last election I voted for "deez nuts" because I didn't care. The one before, I voted for the GST. This year I voted to leave the troops in iraq.
No way, vin diesel is the poor man's (or 18yo girl's) the rock.
You've gotta give the rock credit, he will be the next arnie:
1. He's fuckin huge. 2. He can't act much, but he's good at playing 1-dimensional action heroes. And he'll learn to act over time. 3. He's fuckin huge. 4. He's got the arnie seal of approval - they're good mates, and arnie's said he's the only one he'd be happy to play the terminator. 5. He's fuckin huge.
Vin diesel, frankly, is eye candy. He cant act any better than the rock, just where the rock can only play "massive tough cunt" vin diesel can only play "pretty, smart-ass tough cunt". And while riddick and pitch black both rocked, every other film he's in sucks donkey balls.
So what? I can download lord of the rings for free, in high quality DVD rip, and it will never cost me. They will never catch me. I have no qualms with "pirating" movies, and I laugh out loud in a theater every time they tell me it's like stealing a car. Yet still, I saw all of them in the theatre, and I buy the dvds.
Of course, if they lowered the prices for Russia, then we could just buy music and software there for peanuts, and the publishers would be fucked.
They're fucked anyway. And I say good riddance to them. What they did worked before the internet, but it doesn't now. They use mass media to control 13yo girls and buy popularity, they suffer when we use the same systems to get their content free. I'd sleep if there were never another new song recorded, there's so much out there I'll never come close to running out of new stuff to listen to. And the people who're in it for the music will still produce, and the people who want to see live acts, and want to support the acts they like, will still pay.
Anybody who puts down his distractions will be faced with that reality. We mostly can't stand that experience so we pick up our distractions again. When people notice that stuff and talk about it, we tell them to stop being a bummer.
New distractions are required frequently so we don't have time to remember we're distracting ourselves, and we just think it's how life really is. This makes the vendors of distractions wealthy. It's big business.
Sgt: Ho-ly Jesus! What the fuck is that? WHAT IS THAT PRIVATE PYLE???
Det. Goren: Sir it's BS sir!
Sgt: BS!?? And how did it get here??
Det. Goren: Sir I took from slashdot sir!
What kinda bullshit is that? "we don't have time to remember we're distracting ourselves, and we think it's how life really is"? What is it we're distracting ourselves from with entertainment? Going to work, or getting old? Life is what you make of it. You're gonna get old and die, if you're lucky. So on the way, just try to have fun. For some people that's feeding starving kids in Africa, for some it's having a few kids and a dog and a white picket fence. For some it's a collection of DVDs so big you'd wanna climb to the top and stick a flag in it. Who fuckin cares?
Big business may encourage the decline of freedoms to peddle their wares, but the product itself doesn't cause it.

Greatest. Idea. Evar.
"we already have it, why do we need to buy it?"
To which the answer is simple. "It's your computer boss, you're responsible for what's on it."

If these go into mainstream use in australia, I'll definitely be having fun with a remote control in the theater :)
Yeah. Sure we do.

I didn't even have to click it. I'm already there, man!

You think that's good? In australia, if you're buying heroin and get ripped off, you can claim it as a tax deduction :) (http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3082455a4560, 00.html)
Don't you mean Courne shells?
And for anyone interested in the "complex spiral" demo, there's a copy here: http://www2002.org/CDROM/alternate/V2/demos/CSS/co mplex-spiral/demo.html (real browsers only need apply)
Why not just mount the ipod as a drive, click on the mp3 you want back on your computer, and drag it onto your desktop????
Well that's cool of you to doubt it, but I've seen it, and yes, a zero g jizz-shot is super cool :)
Well if you could find the "play" button she'd be more likely to let you use her scroll wheel.
AFAIK photo story 3 is going to be a free download anyway, it used to only be a part of MCE.

IIRC, Bruce Lee "slipped" into a coma after a combination of headache/fever medicine and weed, one (or both) of which his body didn't agree with.

The PC release of GTA3 had much gigher resolution textures than the PS2 version. It was much touted when the game was released.
In australia people get tickete for that all the time, it's something like $150 and two points I believe.
And it should only play on iMax.
