I have been watching Starz! (whose exclamation point you carelessly omitted) for the past two months. I have every movie from Starz! archived on my hard drive, saved from my TiVo.
A simple test:
[generic-man@fool ~/tivo]$ ls "King Kong" bash: No files found. [generic-man@fool ~/tivo]$
King Kong was not shown on Starz!, assuming that it even exists, which it does not.
Actually, that movie doesn't exist. IMDb injects some fake "films" into its database every year on April 1 as an April Fool's prank. In about 12 hours, that "link" will cease to work.
Besides, one of the stars of the movie is listed as "Charles Grodin." I don't see how a television talk show host managed to worm his way into a "remake" of a so-called "classic."
I remember hearing about a similar plan back in the '70s to remake "King Kong." It was a hoax then, and it's a hoax now.
Honestly, I don't believe how anyone who directed "Meet the Feebles" expects to be taken seriously in Hollywood these days.

Many bars are experimenting with it.
The Foundry Ale Works, a local brewpub, partnered with Telerama to provide wireless access. The access has been free for the last few months as a trial period, but next month they'll start charging. Telerama has wired up a lot of hotspots around Pittsburgh, including several cafes and restaurants.
The first time I used the Foundry's wireless access, I helped the cute bartender study for an exam. The next time I came by with co-workers, she bought us a round of beers. This wireless thing just might take off after all.:)
"Yahoo's news coverage" consists of feeds from major wire services like the Associated Press. The next time you go to Google News, I want you to count all the stories that are posted from 400 news sites. Notice how many of them are reprinted wire stories?
This phone number was disconnected four years ago, but Google insists that it's still valid. Reminds me of how my dad's GPS system -- which he bought late last year -- offered to navigate us to an address at "7 World Trade Center" in New York.
Google doesn't do maps. It provides you with a link to sites that do have maps. One of these sites is -- surprise! -- Yahoo! Maps. Yahoo! Maps provides driving directions. Google provides links to driving directions from Mapquest and Yahoo! Maps.
Likewise, Google News is a disjointed mess. Many news searches turn up page after page of 404 errors because most external news sites delete their pages after 2-3 weeks.
MSN is #3, after Yahoo and Google. As of last October, they had a market share of nearly 10%. While not as large as Google, they still have a significant market share.
RMS famously spewed out a huge flame when someone posted a birth announcement to a mailing list he read. To quote the madman himself: "Could people please not use this list to announce information of no particular interest to the people on the list? Hundreds of thousands of babies are born every day. While the whole phenomenon is menacing, one of them by itself is not newsworthy. Nor is it a difficult achievement--even some fish can do it."
Could people please not use Slashdot to anounce information of no particular interest to anybody? Hundreds of thousands of people turn 50 every day. While the whole phenomenon is menacing, one of them by itself is not newsworthy.
I can see McD's as the new hangout for Quakers. Instant catered LAN party, and the participants have to buy at least one burger an hour to keep playing.
I don't. Quakers are pacifists, and as such would not want to play video games that involve death and destruction.
Animal Crossing comes with its own memory card when you buy it in a store. This is specifically because Animal Crossing was designed to use an entire 59-block (512 kB) memory card.
If you buy a separate 4 MB (or higher) memory card, you can save other games too.
Thank you for your unbiased and above all positive review of Dr. Pepper's new beverage, Raging Cow! Have you tried dnL, a refreshing citrus blast beverage from the makers of 7-up? Enclosed, please find a coupon for one free dnL. dnL - Flip it!
I find it impossible to believe that in this day and age, a large soft drink company such as Dr. Pepper thinks that they can buy their way into the hearts of good American people and get them to buy their new drink Raging Cow. Shame on you, Dr. Pepper, for inciting many good-hearted Netizens to shill for your company, Dr. Pepper, and its new drink Raging Cow.
I would just like to say that advertising has no impact on me and that I do not associate this ongoing Dr. Pepper campaign with Raging Cow. I am a free-thinking, free-willed individual, and it would be an outrage to think that I am dumb enough to fall for Dr. Pepper's marketing. In fact, all marketing is evil, and you (Dr. Pepper) are furthering that stereotype with the marketing for your new drink, Raging Cow.
I'm so mad, in fact, that I will instead drink dnL, another new beverage. dnL has all the great taste of 7-up, but with caffeine and a new rush of citrus flavor taste! dnL - Flip it! In fact, if you reply to this post, I'll send you a coupon good for one free dnL. dnL - Flip it!
Not for me. You can cache the messages locally, but they're still stored on the server. Only the headers live on the client.
One annoyance: if I read messages using another program and mark them "Read" on the server, Opera still considers them "Unread" because it hasn't seen them yet. Nothing's perfect.

Oh, sorry -- must have been an error on my part. I meant to say that I ripped off this comment, which is older than the one you mentioned.
Microsoft have released a beowulf distro.
It's Microsoft has, and Beowulf is capitalized.
Linus has joined redhat.
The name of the company is Red Hat, Inc.
Slackware is closing down.
Not true.
Linux now runs on single entangled electrons at MIT
I don't know what this means, so I'm going to conclude that it is wrong.
Not true. I ripped it off from a completely different comment.

So? AOL search, which is now Google, used to be #1 simply because AOL has 34 million users.
Market share is market share, whether the user types in the search engine URL or it's the default.
My family uses whatever comes with aol,
AOL uses Google. They even mention it in their ever-present TV ads.
"Yahoo's news coverage" consists of feeds from major wire services like the Associated Press. The next time you go to Google News, I want you to count all the stories that are posted from 400 news sites. Notice how many of them are reprinted wire stories?
At least with Yahoo News I can customize the page so I see news for, say, sports I care about instead of cricket and soccer.
Wow, that's terrible.

The Oracle says: osama bin laden has a Bacon number of 3.
Osama bin Laden was in Naqoyqatsi (2002) with Paul McCartney
Paul McCartney was in Mayor of the Sunset Strip (2003) with Courtney Love
Courtney Love was in Trapped (2002) with Kevin Bacon
- Build unsuccessful Linux company
- Get purchased by Microsoft for X dollars
- Get sold by Microsoft for X/10 dollars
- If Microsoft has money left over, go to step 1.
- Microsoft goes bankrupt!
Microsoft lost $123 million on the Corel deal. If they do this just 326 more times, they'll be bankrupt!I can see McD's as the new hangout for Quakers. Instant catered LAN party, and the participants have to buy at least one burger an hour to keep playing.

Opera M2 supports IMAP and is pretty fast. I registered it solely because I love the mail program so much.
