That's such a great cover. I wonder what the "almost no" side effects are, like "all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light".
Man, just what I want to have my family and friends look at; the "original Darth Vader head scabs". Collect the whole set!
Also, it was just creepy looking at all the Yoda "kibbles". He was a 900+ year old Jedi master that tried to save the galaxy after he had all but one of his fellow Jedi wiped out, but I got his foot! Woohoo!!
I personally would like to have the empty bottle that Carrie Fisher finished off before singing in the Christmas Special.
Why doesn't the US schedule a day where every rocket, jet, truck, car, motorcycle, go-cart, tricycle, etc all face east and at exactly the same time, they are all hammered full throttle/pedal? Maybe we can add an hour or two if we try real hard?
That would surely be cheaper than buying 10,000 extra barrels of oil a day. I mean shit, I couldn't fit more than 10 or twelve in my garage, even if I shut the door real fast on the last one!
Whenever I see Trek info posted as established fact, I'm always reminded of when Shatner was on SNL:
"Having received all your letters over the years, and I've spoken to many of you, and some of you have traveled... y'know... hundreds of miles to be here, I'd just like to say...GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it's just a TV show! I mean, look at you, look at the way you're dressed! You've turned an enjoyable little job, that I did as a lark for a few years, into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME!"
He was talking about a school system in Arizona (I believe) that spent some ridiculous amount on a system from IBM that was so complicated, the school system couldn't maintain it. The best part was how IBM "forsaw" that this would happen, and charged and additional $27M to build a "lavish support center" that the teachers could call for tech support.
What the hell's wrong with these people!?! (Not IBM, I think that part is hilarious)
But it's Clear Channel's freedom to not play Stern. They haven't done anything to physically stop him from speaking, he just doesn't have the same avenue available.
I wish there was another line for the 1st amendment that stated my freedom to not have to listen. I've never understood why people think "freedom of speech" means "you have to listen me, no matter how silly I am!" My alcoholic neighbor that yell-sings Led Zepplin at 3:00am outside isn't excercising his free speach right, he's just annoying me until the police show up.
Is there such a beast as a "clueless end user test" type executable that I can email to my coworkers, and if they execute it an email is sent back to me as "evidence"?
I think this would be a fairly blunt social engineering test for a company to put it's employees through. Especially since we have to send out quarterly training about it. I want to know if it sinks in at all.
When my brother graduated from undergrad, an older prof. at the gym he went to asked what his degree was. "Psychology", he answered. The old prof. said "Oh, that's nice. I hear Wendy's is hiring."
I had to build a PDP-8 from scratch in a class at IU. It was suprisingly interesting to play around with.
It's one of the few times I've ever felt like "I" did something with a computer, instead of just running other peoples' software, on other peoples' hardware.
So, what happens when I'm watching someone be arrested on Cops due to [insert favorite anti-pirate acronym] because he was live-streaming Cops when the officer arrested him for live-streaming Cops that I watched live?
- Col. Sanders "Your looking at now now. Everything that is happening now, is happening now." - Dark Helmet "Go back to then!" - Col. Sanders "We can't. We just missed it." - Dark Helmet "When?" - Col. Sanders "Just now." - Dark Helmet "When will then be now?" - Col. Sanders "Soon...."
Someone is reminded of some crappy obscure sci-fi book from 1973. Other than is being about vampire cyber robots from the 13th dimension, and their quest to find the meaning of life, it describes this whole thing to a T.
I have the original, the updated-sound-only version, and the special edition set. There's 3 for you. To be honest, I'd like to see a DVD set of the original set as well, as that's how I remember them as a kid.
Yes, I have watched them back to back. My wife says I have OCD.

Binary sort takes a lot of time.
So back HUP bitch or it's 'kill -9'.

Oh, I thought it was going to make you listen to a lot of Hammond organ or something.

Just because their not out to get you, doesn't mean the're not out to get you.
Ok, how about:
Q: What does a Polish bride gets on her wedding night that's long and hard?
A: A new last name.
You can also throw footballs just over your camcorder, and dream of getting back to '82.

Then I guess this article on transparent ah-loo-men-ium is right up your alley? :)

A quote I've seen before:
"If you were plowing a field, which would you rather use? Two strong oxen or 1024 chickens?"
Maybe he meant penguins?

But it's idiocy. It doesn't know it can't flow uphill.
Later that evening....
"Hey babe, wanna go do it?"
"Um...no?"
I had to build a PDP-8 from scratch in a class at IU. It was suprisingly interesting to play around with.

The one problem I see is what keeps the officer from not hitting record for 5 extra minutes, if he's specifically targeting someone?
It always seems to take them 2-3 minutes before coming up to your car already, what's 2 more minutes to wait to them?
So, what happens when I'm watching someone be arrested on Cops due to [insert favorite anti-pirate acronym] because he was live-streaming Cops when the officer arrested him for live-streaming Cops that I watched live?
