It costs $189.89, but I think there are discount codes floating around that can get you $10 off.. anyone know of them? EFF-SPECIAL seems to have expired.
The game with the funniest intentional humor is the game Worms. Not the newer versions, but the old, pixelated DOS versions -- sometimes the physics would just go wacky and incredibly funny things would happen.
After an hour in the county election office, my wife was allowed to vote. They confirmed to her that someone fraudulently switched her address and voted absentee for her. They obviously don't know who it is, but they do know the address of where they are located (where the absentee ballot was mailed). All they could promise her was that the county sherriff would be investigating immediately and that the duplicate absentee ballot would be invalid.
Got this message from a tailgating friend in Florida about his wife:
I thought you all would be interested to know what just happened in the past 30 minutes (It is 9:20AM here).
My wife went to the polls. I voted at the same precinct early this morning with no problems. However, when she went to vote, she was not allowed because they said a) she had changed her address one month ago and b) she had voted absentee. Obviously, neither is true.
She is now standing in line at the County Election office who told her they had the absentee records on file for her to review once she shows proof of ID.
It will be fascinating to find out "who" filed a change of address and absentee ballot "in her name". It was obviously intentional (fraudulent) and obviously targeted at a registered Republican.
Get ready for a rocky ride folks.

Anyone hear about anything like this happening before?
Yeah, it's a fake story -- google for "ted the caver". It's still a great suspense story -- probably good for adapting to a campfire story. Print out pics from the site and talk in the role of B or something.
OH! MAN! That is exactly what I did not want to read late at night.. Man, the ending -- that's awful! Thanks a lot, now I'm going to be up all night, my heart was POUNDing POUNDing..

If you're looking for a tablet of some sort that you can draw on directly for photoshop and such, check out Wacom's Cintiq line -- basically an LCD monitor with a pen touchscreen. They start at $1500 and up for 15" monitors. A PC is required, though, to use them.
LCD Tablets
I wonder how the processing power would compare to WETA's supercomputer cluster and their pricing. It would be slower to coummunicate data among the computers and ensure data quality, but I wonder how it compares.
Will it record closed captions and play them back when video is played back? Are other tv tuner hardware & software combos able to do this? This is why I still have a tv and vcr.. what about dvd recorders? Will these record captions too or not?
Schools aren't really part of the legislative/judical/executive system though.. Actually, I can remember one example a while ago -- wasn't there some police department somewhere that was going to put ads on their police cruisers?
Are there any examples of government entities accepting ads in their publications before the Internet existed (or in print nowadays)? If so, this might not be so weird. If not, this is weird.
That's because there is no other guide that car makers can publish results from without breaking the law -- they MUST use the EPA numbers in their adverts.
If I were a Disney stockholder, I'd be angered that they aren't trying to profit off of it. All that R&D for no profit?? Doesn't make economical sense to me.
I'd have to say no. These systems are known to not be reliable -- many Xbox harddrives have failed, dvd drives have failed, but the loss isn't too great.. would you expect the same from your own PC -- losing all your data? I think not.
Slashdot Mirror
this is my first post -- the first of first posts for the next 1000 years
Here are some videos of me playing (captured with fraps, encoded in DiVX):
Half Life 2 Opening Sequence up to security guard interrogation (4m 56 sec, 36.1mb)

And shipping starts at $6.75 for USPS Priority, right now, orders will ship in about 1 week after the initial order.

I did some poking around but can't find md5sums for the new versions -- anyone know where they are?
Could it have been a small meteorite strike?

That was funny to see that error message come up on this particular article.
As a byside.. just what is causing those error messages to come up in the first few seconds of an article going public?

The Serious Sam engine can pull off tricks similiar to that. Twisting 'down' directions (gravity), etc.

That's what I get when I click on your sig for the guide to slackware.. funny that Red Hat is on your server (if that's what it really is).

Could a dorm ban the actual equipment, ie, the access point from being in the dorm -- like banning pets such as dogs or cats?

Except you are using the toy gun to make threats to coerce money from the other person for your own purposes.
Security at the hardware level.. such as TCPA/Palladium? That'd be great for corporations that want to lock down systems.
