Mallrats was quite possibly one of the best movies ever, I don't know even how to really express my love for this film. It captures a way of life, a quirky american sub culture that those of us coming of age in suburbia couldn't avoid. Malls were like, it, man. Kevin captures the world in a bubble with enthusiasm and makes a day in suburbia an adventure. This movie is all locale, characters and dialog. He pokes fun at action as always (fly, fatass fly!). This movie is as pure an experience as ever was. Other movies that I love that people hate: Cabin Boy Convoy Escape from New York Warriors
he says: This showes how fucked windows is and how great foss is.
Really? Maybe you haven't heard of all of the kernel level rootkits available for cracking linux boxes. Crackers don't really discriminate. They will use ANY exploit on ANY platform.
yeah right, like any of these snot nose boys don't have mamas that would love for them to come back home, If they aren't already still living with the 'rents. Lets face it, they are not orphans from 'da hood' with noone to turn to and nowhere to go but the streets. Lots of these so called hosting companies are not really 100% legit.
having a kitten still doesn't change the fact that people would rather spend $1000 on their pet than help a fellow human survive. I have come to grips with the simple adage life isn't fair, just haven't come to grips with quite how unfair it really is. I just don't think following the letter of the law makes you any better a parent or person. Guess what, I also purchase movies and music, tons of them, thousands of dollars worth of them. I know how much it costs to make a movie or CD, and I know the obscene profits reaped from said sales. Remember the settlement for CD price fixing? This is why I save my purchasing power for indy labels. So my rant was a little severe, thats just how I feel sometimes. Of course there is no conspiracy, the free market really is free, money can't buy everything, and all of those people dying of starvation and curable diseases, discriminated against for economic and racial reasons just need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, horatio algiers style and realize that damnit life isn't fair but if I get a kitten all will be fine.
How about teaching the kids that we live in a fucked up society where 90% of the wealth just sits there in a fucking pile collecting money dust while all over the nation people are starving / freezing / living on the street / dying of treatable diseases. Have you ever seen how many empty houses and apartments there are in the inner city ? And people are homeless.. why ? How about teaching them that multinational corporations will not only break the law to make money, but actually are responsible for many atrocities (bhpoal anyone?) involving exploitation / maiming and death of workers and surrounding innocents. How about teaching them that daddy will never be paid the full value of his labor and therefore can't afford a house / car / nice things that the kiddies want. WHAT THE FUCK. GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE. YOUR $50.00 THAT YOU SPENT ON THE MOVIES IS GOING STRAIGHT UP A HOLLYWOOD EXEC'S NOSE in the form of a fat fucking line of coke. How about teaching them that we have been lulled into complacency with an average life, TV addictions, and readily available 'anti-depressant drugs' and that the people will never gain a fucking thing until we revolt against these rich fuckers. So, my mentality (if you can get your head around it) is to fuck the system every chance I get, there is no american dream, you need to get over each and every way you can. Fuck the law, BURN HOLLYWOOD BURN.
he says: Compression is here now. It won't last a few years. CD-R and DVD-R sized rips will appear just like they do now. Perhaps the larger file format will slow down compression a bit but it won't be a real deterrent.
Hello, warez scene to old guy, that shit is old news ! DVD Rips are flying around like packets on a hot griddle these days, especially since suprnova started hosting torrents. There are dvd_r images on xdccs too on IRC, check #dvd_r on everyones favorite irc network (efnet) i believe. I downloaded a dvd rip in dvd quality of Return of the King before its release. This is still the 'high end' of trading, since you have to have either tons of storage, pretty good connection, and a dvd burner to archive all of these gigs of video. SVCD rips are the norm, and plain vcd rips are fading out fast. Hate to tell you that lots of pir8s are well connected with bandwidth. Downloading a dvd on a T3 is not that bad. look at http://izonews.com/ if you want to see how many of these dvd_r's are being released by warez groups. Mark Cuban is dead wrong.
Just recently had a emergency room experience with my 15 month old son. He is a BIG BOY, im talking 30 lbs. With a good solid coating of baby fat and not a vein in sight. None of the regular nurses could get an IV into him, but when the IV team comes around the vein fishing stops. I'd like to see poking a dummy rival the real life experience of trying to IV a screaming strong baby. Picture this: 2 parents holding him down, he is screaming loud enough to make the most emotionless person break out in a sweat, and wriggling constantly while she is trying to find the vein. At the doctors office they tortured him for 25 minutes trying to draw blood. He looked like he had been used for a pincusion. The IV team at New York Hospital? 1st try, under 30 seconds. That is this woman's sole job, to go around and hit veins on the first try. She is good at it because of her real life experience.

back in the day there was a really wicked CDC platform that had very influential games, a few dungeon games especially that get mentioned in game histories. One game I played was called Krozair, had a few other names over the years, but anyway you could get a physically strong player and descend to a very low level, then stay by the stairs and maul whatever monster came along. If you were lucky you could make a high XP kill, then run up the stairs and instantly gain 15-20 levels. It was like skipping the most boring part of the game and cutting right to the good part. Those first few levels really are lame. Even when I play nethack, the first 3 levels are like the warm up.. nothing really to do, no real danger of dying (except through stupidity) I wish I could skip those levels sometimes..
Good stats, but I believe it is bullshit. Those stats are for things like murders, and other reported crimes. As far as unreported unrecorded crimes, who the hell can say, but I know what I have seen. I don't know any other place in the US where you can buy drugs at a bodega. What I am trying to say is crime is institutionalized and organized here, not to mention the staggering number of petty thefts and other crimes that go unreported (flashers, mashers, turnstile jumpers, shoplifters, etc.). NYC has been on a publicity campaign ever since giulliani 'cleaned up the streets' to show how little crime there is. The title of a book I love comes to mind: How to lie With Statistics.
You may think so as a tourist, but new york city is the most crime ridden city in the USA. More than that, crime is organized. If there was a way to scam metrocards you could be sure that there would be a racket surrounding it. I remember early rumors of places in chinatown that would re-up your card for you, but never had them substantiated. Walk around manhattan... first floor windows are barred up, Gates have hardened steel padlocks, anything that may be worth more than a dollar is installed permanently, park benches are bolted to the ground. Why? if it can be stolen here it will. Hell, I have seen guys ripping the aluminum cores out of air conditioners because they fetch 20 bux at a scrap metal yard. This is the city where the mob had red boxes mass produced. My red box worked anywhere in the usa but NYC when i moved here. Can't get your quarter back from a pay phone? Some guy has wedged some shit up in the coin return slot so he can return later for a jackpot. This is a city of opportunity and crime is no exception. I think that tokens were obsoleted because they couldn't stay ahead of the slug manufacturers. I knew a girl that bought bags of fake tokens.... in chinatown.....
It is increbidle, you go to the library and you can "check out" VIDEOS, DVD's, CD's, even BOOKS ~!~!!! and it is FREE. This has been going on for quite some time, evidently and it MUST BE STOPED !!! Even the government itself is involved in this conspiracy of free stuff, and it is the biggest collection ever, it is called the library of congress.
he said They don't intend it to make a profit. This has been made clear by Apple themselves.
and he said: Yeah. For now.
now thats a 3 doozy. Apple has made it clear that they are not profiting from the service, but what happens when apple becomes the main player and has more leverage. The majors have obviously finally bought in to the vision that apple has. Apple delivers sales. Apple recently released a lossless codec to go with itunes. I see in 1 year apple dominating and finally selling lossless audio online.
The word of mouth on real is bad, apple is just dirtying them in the media. Apple has been competing with them for years. Remember quicktime? This is just a battle in a war that has been raging in slow motion for years. Video and Audio were going to be ubiquitous content on the web, and these were the players. This is about PR, market share, and codecs, not hacker tactics.
