I know what you're thinking. Did he use up six tapes or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a Canon XL-1 S, the most powerful camcorder in the world, and would film your head nice and clean, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?
There's an article that describes its demise pretty well here.
It tried to be a "portal site," only it wasn't a very good one at all. Botched implementation, a cluttered site and a search engine left unimproved sent a lot of users fleeing over time.
I guess they learned their lesson, albeit too late. If you look at their site now as compared to their site in 2000 you can see a significant difference.
NASA has a pretty good website that talks about "near-earth objects" (comets/asteroids with orbits that bring them close to earth). They even have a page detailing the current impact risks.
Fortunately, only one of them is meriting significant attention. I guess we're safe for a little while then.
Keanu already took A Walk in the Clouds before and it was terrible! What idiot thought that having him take a flight through the clouds would be better?:]

Ever wonder how much damage some users can inflict on their computers?
No, not really. After seeing some people submit their own sites to a Slashdot front page story, everything else pales in comparison.:]
Slate is an online news magazine that focuses primarily on contemporary issues and current events. It's part of MSN's conglomerate of websites and can be found linked in the sidebar as the 'Opinion' part of "News and Opinion."
I found it through InstaPundit.com awhile back and I've been reading it regularly ever since. Their political and economic commentary is usually interesting (this article being an example of one of the better ones I've seen there) and fairly witty. Good stuff, at least in my opinion.

Now I know what Dave Foley does in-between commercials on Celebrity Poker Showdown.
Poor guy, I'd be upset enough to sue something too if I had to host dreck like that.
Q: Why did the Polish spy bug the enemy's toilet?
A: So he could monitor every movement.
No worries here.
You've got to wait for the Bills to win a Super Bowl before the apocalypse comes.
He knows what's important for the future of a console system.
Developers, developers, developers, developers.
I guess The 5th Dimension was onto something here. Remember how their song went?
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
We could float among the stars together, you and I
All they need to do is paint it red and they've got all of the best balloon songs covered.

You laugh, but the usage of pellet guns is most certainly accepted practice when it comes to terminating hazardous balloon flights.
Just ask Lawn Chair Larry.
Trust me, these guys will go down for the count if Microsoft hires a female lawyer.
I don't think we've heard the last of Mr. Novak somehow.
We certainly haven't unless we can get him to stop showing up on Crossfire every other night.
Oh, how I wish I had Maude points right now... ;)
Maude parent up!
It will anyway if you've had enough. ;)

Oh, but Lord of the Rings origami exists!
:]
What? It's the One Ring.
I'd wager that Michael Jackson is going to be the first person to sign up for this procedure. :]
(create much less heat than bulky p4's! I'm sure that lab is hotter than an african rainforest)
So much for it being the coolest cluster ever.

Physically, it looks like this. And this. And this also.
Technically? I haven't got a clue.
It's a logarithmic scale. The volume of the sound goes up ten times for every ten decibels. Here's some math and a comparison chart.
No no, I think it's more along the lines of "Dude, my work's shot to hell." :]

Boy, talk about your new and improved CD burners...
The story on Element 118 (ununoctium) has already made an appearance at Slashdot. I'm pretty sure the invalidation of 116 is new, though.
:]
Remember, ununoctium decomposes into un-ununoctium in the presence of international scrutiny.
...the one game that has caused so many people around the world to just about go nuts trying to win a game...
You can win at Tetris? Oh man, I never knew! I'm probably like the only self-respecting computer nerd in the world that's never seen the ending...
