Killer Asteroid

· Score: 1
...speaking of deadly projectiles falling from the heavens -- we just had a HUGE hail storm in Sydney [Australia]. Hailstones the size of tennis balls smashed up windows, sky lights, car windsheilds. managaed to score some great shots on the digital camera.
initially i thought it was the neighbourhood druglords enganged in a gun fight -- i went outside to look and almost got taken out by a stone the size of a peach!
man... this planet's crazy! forget asteroids, there's enough shit falling from the sky to keep me in therapy for decades...
whew! 'cos i thought for i second you said "a new audio format for video" and i was like "but hey dude! what about the pictures and subtitles and stuff".
I use CSS lot's. Only I don't try and get funky with identing and negative margins and leading and all the great [and often stupid] stuff you can do with CSS.
I simply use it to replace those font size/face tags and the like. That way i'm not going to encounter buggy CSS implementations. There's an article about using Stylesheets wisely here.
XSL is confusing, overly technical and too far off at this stage to bother with. CSS is simple, smart and about 90-something percent of web users can render the basic stuff just fine!
I got a question! How come my G3 Mac runs playstation games so well yet games for the mac suck so hard?
Ahhh... i'll sit here waiting for Arena with you Linux geeks.;)
But yeah, Sony absorb a loss on the hardware, it's weird they're so against the emulators. I guess they're freaked about the piracy potential. but don't worry -- they'll cave on this like they're doing with mp3s!
dang! they've made the ugly even uglier. Is it a bad eighties walkman or a cheap spacey waterpistol! I'd expect this sort of design from Digitor or Goldstar -- but Diamond?
It's like those USB zip drives Iomega make. You want to shove a couple of AA batteries into it and start nailing office workmates with a thirty foot stream of tepid tankwater.
I'm really not looking forward to seeing a bad Adam Sandler movie in 20 years time with Happy Gilmore sporting a swag of deal translucentia!
schmack.

Why is it that those associates programs have the feel of Multilevel marketing schemes? I'm NOT saying they're dodgey -- they just have that 'maybe-i-CAN-make-it-rich-off-my-personal-homepage ' feel.
But I really want to know what the kick back is on a $1.89 distribution CD;)
Hell, I'll add em to my homepage... I'm making enough off amazon/cdnow/beyond to feed a small african village!
"No network executive believed that America was interested in a dysfunctional cartoon family led by an addled Mom in a bee-hive hairdo and a fat, bald wreck of a father"
katz -- so maybe the cartoon part was new, but the dysfunctional, loser family was already being exploited a year before the simpsons with that 'smash hit' comedy Roseanne (1988). Two big fat funny bloated parents, messed up kids and relatives with an ugh-index to rival even patty and selma.
i don't think network executives deserve all the credit you're giving them, pal!
