But the real question is how likely is it to happen during our time in this universe. The chances of it occuring are likely very high, but when it might happen or have already happened could be spans of billions of years. Then there's the question of whether we'd even be able to reach it or communicate with it, given the vast distances.
And as Calvin once said: "The surest sign of intelligent life in the universe is that it hasn't contacted us yet."
For me, a few of the emotional highlights of the film was seeing the hobbit's return to the shire (showing how much they had changed) and Sam and Rosie's wedding. The film would have been extremely disappointing without these scenes.
There is a Memento Special Edition coming out soon, and the rumor is that the chronological order edit will be included as an easter egg. The source of this rumor is DVDTalk
Having missed every bit of this show, how would everyone recommend I start watching? Should I jump in with these 4 episodes? Or perhaps I should wait till when Sci-Fi reruns everything from the beginning? Or, I could stop being cheap and go rent the first season on DVD. For that matter, is the second season on DVD yet?
I can't wait till when we find out that this news is actually true, and the joke is really on us.
Anouncing this sort of thing on April 1st would be genious. Sure, most everyone would pass it off just a joke, but Star Trek is well known for bringing back characters from previous shows. TNG brought back Spock, Scotty, and even threw McCoy into the mix in the very first episode.
So in a few weeks, when this news is still circulating, I'll be there to say "Ha!"
I first heard about LOTR being made into a film about 2 years ago. I'd never read the books, but had always wanted to. I quickly bought the books, and read them even quicker. I fell in love with the story. I watched the film's developement very closely over those 2 years, reading Tolkien Online and TheOneRing.net almost daily. I bought the soundtrack (excellent!) and a couple books. I even bought some miniatures. I reread the books a few months before the film was released, and enjoyed them even more the second time. I caught a showing of the film on it's first day out, and have been back for a total of 7 times (so far!).
Now, if you had told me 2 years ago that LOTR would be nominated for 13 Oscars, I would have said you were nuts. This is truly an amazing accomplishment, and LOTR deserves every one of them.
This looks kind of shady. I could go into a newsgroup and post that I had done, well... anything, and then come here and submit the story as an anonymous coward?
Actually, I did this once. Years ago, I posted to comp.os.minix about how I created a completely "free" operating system. Anyone could download it, and change it to their heart's content.
I also predicted that it would one day replace windows, because after all, who would use an OS they had to pay for?'
I believe the first time the Net shrank was when it went swimming in that really cold lake back in 1998. And as any guy will tell you, that'll cause just about ANYTHING to shrink.

I've got a Bacon Number of 4 (Cousin was married to Dustin Hoffman's father, and Dustin Hoffman was in Sleepers with Kevin Bacon)
So just friend me on Facebook and you'll have a Bacon number of 5. :)
I think you mean Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand.
I don't get it.
It's a space station!
This short film is proof of exactly that.

You must be new to this planet.
All men lie about sex.
'SWF and the Malware Tragedy'
Sounds like a sequel to 'The Net'.
Of course. Being a fan of Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal, I really should have caught the joke.
I think some people have an entirely different definition of 'Simple' than myself.
Heck, I'd settle for a Quickie somewhere in THIS galaxy.
Parhelia 512? Awfully strange name for a new Matrix film.

I to took a lot longer to read it the second time. Perhaps 30 minutes a night at most.
The rumors are saying a film only release on DVD in August and then a FOUR-DISC special edition with a longer cut of the film in November. Yowsa!

callipygous balderdash is one example that I found. Currently there's 1 result found, that is until Google updates it's Slashdot cache.
Clear hard drives? Next you'll be telling me that they're making Clear Pepsi or perhaps even Clear Gravy.
A little early morning Karma Whoring....
If anyone is interested in reading the old BOFH posts, there is an archive available.
This makes me wonder... what happens when the phone rings while masturbation?
If these things come with a vibration (silent ring) function, I'd be calling myself all day long.

Of course, no one believed me.

Amazon turned a profit?
You know, I knew it was getting a little cold down here, but I never saw this coming.
[/devilish]
second time???? When was the first?
