No Email eh? In that case, I have a large some on money I Nigeria but no way to transfer it. With only your bank account I could use you as a transfer and give you $1mil for your trouble! How about it?
The poster in this comment mentions the Moore Documentary "Bowling for Columbine". Whatever your preconceived notions of Mr. Moor's work are you should take a chance and go see this film. It's funny and obviously it gets its job done as the poster was motivated to take an interest in the topic.
And to the posts that say this topic isn't news for nerds, I point out that many politicians are in fact nerds. And unfortunately the act of informed dialogue in this country (without fanatical rhetoric) is about as popular as math for fun or other geeky activities.
As Ralph Nader says "Anybody who is proud to be a member of the silent majority has resigned from democracy, and that's nothing to be proud of."

I was at the Sony store in Chicago last arround christmas and I asked the guy there where the DAT recorders were at (this was before sony axed their dat line). He replied they don't carry such a specialty product at their store because they were too expensive to keep a stock. It was doubly funny as he was standing next to a carpet with a about 30 ABIOs running arround.
I dunno, Black Flag, Circle Jerks and Kennedys were more California Hardcore than straight british punk. And I don't know Corrosion of Conformity but according to their allmusic.com writeup they seem more metal than punk. Related but diffrent. Stuff like the Clash, Stiff Little Fingers, Buzzcocks and so on are more dirivated from the british punk vein of the pistols creation.
I think of Hardcore as the most comparative of the American punk offerings to british punk (ie. Politically Relavant subject matter), but sonicaly Pistols-like it is not.
Oh and if you haven't seen "The Filth and the Fury" (the 2001 version) check it out it's a good documentary on the pistols.
Isn't this incredibly old? I remember watching a movie of this in highschool. The server's slashdotted so I can't take a look, but if I remember the guy threw the brick of sodium in the lake and it blew itself up in the air since it was a solid object only the exposed portions of sodium reacted and continued "jumping" until all the brick was used up.
I saw a bit on conan obrien the other day where he did a commercial for these things, and then they zoomed on some girl in the audience and she said "And I thought I was a prostitute!" and walked out.
My roomate got me into this series last year, I like the anime well enough but the soundtrack that comes with the dvd box set is annoying as heck, seeing as that's the only cd my roomate ever listens to.
Just what I want, jpop mixed with the japanese-obsession-with-American-80's music/pop-culture-tears-for-fears-esq garbage. Whoo.
I assume their making a parallel between Oscar Wilde who made great contributions to the world but was ultimately ostracized by the scandal of being homosexual in a time that forbid it and Ian who's contributions, similarly large, are crutched by his staunch political viewpoints.
I beg to differ, the star wars MUX i played in higschool was very definitive..until i got kicked off for not playing in character by stealing a tie fighter and killing everyone in the bar on tatooine.
Er and then getting kicked off perminantly when i created a character described as "someone who steals spaceships and kills people on tatooine"
The best part was that once you get kicked everytime you try to log on with your character the room you appeared in was "block of carbonite"
The statement doesn't make the assumption of you getting found out. It's supposed to be a test of personal morals. If the only thing keeping you from murder is the fear of being chastised by others then you would fall to the yes side of this test.
Similar but not entirely related was the Milgram Expriment. A volunteer was told to give increasing electric shocks to a "subject" in the next room when the subject in the next room answered a question incorrectly. Now the guy in the next room wasn't really getting shocked but he was yelling like he was. The researcher was collecting results on how these volunteers ability to morally detach themselves from the act by saying he was told to do it.

..So you're saying you'd Kill someone who supported what you ammount to killing? hmm.
The Female Garth had a UNIX book in Wayne's World 2.

I was thinking the other day that there weren't enough bad techno songs out there yet...

Hmm. The tux pumpkin is a helpful tutorial, basically it says to make a pumpkin with tux on it all you need is:
1.A Pumpkin
2.Artistic Ability
3.Expensive Software
4.Something called a light board (sounds arty)
Wow! Simple!
you know, if i could draw tux i wouldn't need a kit...

Once I recieved a message that stated that all my bases were belong to them and I should make my time.
I wonder if he's kidding...
Your education sounds delicious.

It's pretty sweet.

UNIX guys like thick books
That's a misnomer, My Kernighan & Ritchie C book gets a lot of use and it's only ~280 pages. Large does not espessially mean better.

Maybe this will be as difficult as all those simpsons NES games. They were almost as hard as super star wars.
Oh Man, Sealab, Brak Show and Futurama in the same hour. That's gonna be sweet.

Or maybe I'm over analyzing?

One of these days someone is going to do a "History of Video Game Histories" it seems like these things pop up every couple months (years?)
Hooray fanboy cash..

NASA guy: Maybe it's time to tell the public all the apes we sent into space came back super intelligent.
monkey in high backed chair: No, i don't believe we'll be telling them that.
