...Borax has gone up to $1.75 per gallon, and older folks are telling stories about how they could get a gallon of Borax for a nickel when they were kids.
The action figures have punching and kicking action. So? What the hell else do little kids do with action figures? I have never seen a kid make his GI Joes hold hands and take a long walk in the park... they fight.
And Super Strret Fighter Turbo? Please. Show me a kid that can jump six feet in the air and throw a blue fireball, and I'll agree that "Games are bad, mmm-kay?"
...the T800 lowered itself into the molten steel at the end of T2... How are they gonna explain that one away?
Don't get me wrong, T2 is one of my favorite movies. The good thing about the movie was that CG was so expensive and time consuming back then, that they were forced to use more or less real special effects, resorting to CG only when neccessary. This also made the dirtbike/motorcycle vs. semi truck chase scene one of the best. And remember the scene where the T800 peeled the skin off of his forearm to expose the machinery underneath? That wasn't CG, but if the movie were made today, it would have.
I'm just afraid they are going to (like every other damn movie these days) go way overboard on the CG, and ruin the effect. Linda Hamilton not playing Sarah Connor is going to suck also. Hopefully Edward Furlong will be playing John Connor.
...but I do wonder how they assigned the date "of at least 6000 years ago" to this.
That's the archaeological way. Make up a number, then when you find it to be false later, claim "new scientific processes" have allowed you to determine that it is in fact closer to X years old.

Oh, man. I don't think I'm ready to open up a book and see the author introducing the book in full motion video on the first page, and the trailer for the movie on the last...

Take a look on this picture and ask yourself a question: Do I wanna be there?

Well, gee, if you can't even show a picture of it, I don't think I want to be there!
I bet anyday that the RIAA will sue cisco for making routers that could be used to infringe.
In other news, the RIAA has filed lawsuits against Intel, AMD, and Motorola, alleging that processors produced by the aforementioned companies are being used to decode illegal pirated music.
]Hello Eliza.
Hello. ]I don't feel very good.
Why is it that you don't feel very good? ]Well, my monitor is talking to my radio.
Are you concerned about your monitor talking to your radio? ]Well, yes. It's not supposed to work that way.
Why isn't it supposed to work that way? ]Shut up Eliza.
Why do you want me to shut up? ]Because you are a stupid worthless computer program.
I sense much anger in you. Perhaps you should seek medical help. ]Oh, what do you know?
What is it about what I know that interests you? ]ARRRRRRGGGHHH!!!
I don't understand what you mean by ARRRRRRGGGHHH!!!. Please try again. ]quit
OK. Goodbye. ]
Hook a bunch of these suckers up in the toilet tank. Turbines charge some cells. Next time you are in the bathroom, you've got enough free power to power a laptop, a TV, radio, refrigerator...
Yeah, that's a bit sick. Maybe a small TV and a webpad though.:)
More specifically, this new worm targets Microsoft SQL servers with no administrator passwords set.
Ooh, ooh! I know! We can call it the Dumbass Worm! Seriously though, If you don't set up an admin password on your server, you deserve to be hacked. Mercilessly.
They will let you install a copy of XP on more than one computer, as long as you pay the discounted price of $189?!?
Oh, yeah, that will stop piracy.
Get a clue Microsoft. If you are going to charge people to install XP on more than one of their own computers, How about an "Add-on" license of say $20? That would make sense.
This the time that I buy consoles. I bought a Virtual Boy for $35 or so, a Genesis3 for $30, and a Playstation (the old boxy one) for $99. A Dreamcast for $50? Sold.

So basically, competition is pretty much grounds for a lawsuit these days. Nice.

A nickel!

Hooray! The Kaypro 10 will rise again! (And you road warriors can pull that Osborne 1 out of the closet.)
Or just hook up some headphones to the built-in audio on the motherboard. Turn up the volume. Tada! Annoying noises.

Uh, don't worry. I don't know what I was talking about either.

It is IE 5.5. It does the same thing on my machine here, while Mozilla 0.9.6 renders it just fine. Also works fine on IE5 for the Mac.

Sounds good, but Microsoft donating hardware?

Knock yourself out. You can boycott 'em. That leaves more awesome high quality Sony products for me. :)
Wow, they were scraping the bottom of the lawsuit barrel with that one.
