What was coolest about that was, if the need was great enough, it could be done from one of those kiosk control centers on the wall outside someone's door for instance.
And if the King had balls the French Revolution might not have happened. Or was that brains? or perhaps just a willingness to compromise like their English cousins.;-)
I gotta say that sounds scary as hell, but if you find it fun, more power to you. I like seeing movies from under the ice, but I would not want to be there. He's right about the weight though. I'm about to start taking up backpacking and hiking. I've got a fair amount of the equipment now, and my pack is amazing. It doesn't way anywhere near 250lbs, but you really feel how heavy it is when you lift it. Once you put it on though, the weight disappears. It's actually loose so I can put my finger under the shoulder straps. The weight is mostly on my hips.
A Royale with cheese . . . what do they call a Big Mac? A Big Mac's a Big Mac but they call it "Le Big Mac" Le Big Mac. ..What do they call a Whopper. I dunno, I didn't go to Burger King.
That's what I'm talking about, the little differences. Did you know you can get a beer at McDonalds in Paris? I'm not talkin' some paper cup, I mean a glass of beer. And do you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with cheese in France?
Couple points on this, and I'm not being militant one way or the other on the issue. Regarding your two feet of snow, has it occured to you that global warming might result in increased evaporation from the lakes and oceans, thus resulting in greater amounts of snow? Also, even though the quantity wasn't quite accurate, if NYC is completely covered in snow, it is in fact entirely underwater.
Well, except for that big link to movietickets.com on their website where you can buy tickets to the show at that theater. Currently House of Flying Daggers.
I thought the killer butterfly was in Paris. Shit, you mean I have to watch out for other butterflies too! I mean Mothra goes without saying, but still . . . . others!?!
Latin is not dead! It's in retirement, enjoying lucrative consulting positions in the scientific and medical communities. Other than that, it occasionally goes to church and has an interest in oral sex.
That's like when the Yahama DX7 would add fake squeaks on the "strings" of it's guitar sound. Real guitar players couldn't believe that they'd want to add something a good guitar player tries to avoid.
They wouldn't need to do 24 hours of programming. I know people bitch and complain about dupes on/. but on TV it's perfectly acceptable to play the same show a couple times a day.;-)
Funny, I had a vision of the first Superman movie when they mentioned seeds that sprout into tree houses. First thing I thought, "or crystals that sprout into ice palaces?" I know it's not ice.
Not just mp3 for out and about but you can keep your songs in flac for local listening if you want to compress at all. It's not always just a matter of more files, but we can use bigger, less compressed files with the bigger disks.
That's why you need to carry around one of those adapters that plug into an incandescent lightbulb socket with a couple plugs on the side. That way if they lock down the outlets, all you need to do is sit next to a lamp.
Oh . . . and bring an oven mit along too, if the light is on.
You're right. I was intentionally ignoring Harrison Ford, and focusing primarily on Carrie Fisher and Mark Hammil who to their credit got better throughout the series. There were some really cheesy lines though. "Walking carpet." for instance.
Liam Neeson was very good and is also very good in the recent film Kinsey. I'm impressed with Ewan McGregor in part because he must have been fimling Ep II back to back with Moulin Rouge and the emotional difference between Christian and Obiwan is incredible.
As you can see Mr. Baggins, we've been keeping our eyes on you for some time. It appears you have been living . . . two lives. On the one hand you are Frodo Baggins of the Shire. Mild mannered hobbit with a keen interest in the brewing of ales, the smoking of pipeweed and a love of all things that grow. You even help your neighbor take out the garbage . . . hmm.
On the other hand you are the ring bearer. A wanderer, adventurer and general savior of the world.
One of the lives has a future Mr Baggin.
Oh, I don't think I ever go to a Star Wars movie for a "well-acted" movie, even the original ones. But from what I've seen the eye candy in this up coming one looks like it'll succesfully make me go "Ooo" and that's the extent of my hopes and expectations. I think I will be pleased.

Think again, 8 bits = 1 byte. So to get the number of bytes from the number of bits, you divide the bits by 8.

The only thing? Control is everything my friend.

What the f*** do we CALL this decade anyway!?!

Close. More like Hahv'd.

Agreed, I've often said, you'll never see a more ruthless capitalist than a communist.
