I'd buy a re-release of the original G1 Megatron in a heartbeat. If you had parents who disapproved of 'gun' toys, you know how much you lusted after that beautiful silver Walther P-38 with all the accessories you can imagine.
Of course, I really wouldn't try to walk around with it on the street. You've heard enough stories of the police shooting someone who had a replica gun that was actually a cigarette lighter.
One thing I liked about were the funky computer graphics on Theora's screen and everywhere else, supposedly on an Amiga.
Anyone know which font they used? It looked like something out of AtuoCAD. Either way, I wish I could come up with some interactive website like in that same vein in SVG.
I hope this will be better than that awful "GamePro" tv show on Saturday mornings many moons ago.
Maybe they will play old episodes of Starcade(I think that's the name), which, according to the web page, featured MANY videogames from the early '80s that I never even heard of before, nor are they listed on KLOV for some.
The funniest videogame tv "show"(on the net, at least) were these 2 guys reviewing Kasumi Ninja for the Atari jaguar. Your typical MK ripoff. The funniest bit, which they played again during their closing comments, was this Kilt-wearing Scotsman who's special attack was lifing up his kilt, and a fireball shot out. Good stuff.
I think the worst one I ran into was I was simply watching an AVI, and as soon as I closed the Media Player window, it took me to the AVI file vendor's website.
Your fuel tank isn't under pressure like a hydro tank would be. A puncture in your fuel tank won't cause a massive explosion. Besides, a bowl of gasoline on fire doesn't cause a violent explosion, say, compared to a bowl/whatever of hydrogen.
AOL's personal ads(not that I visit that) do that already. They just use a GIF that looks just like it was a regular string of text. Very clever. I'm assuming there's a module out there that can do this easily on the fly?
Try and catch the spammers in the act. If you see them photograph them. Get pictures of them posting signs. Get their license plates. Get their faces. Call the cops and tell them what you're doing & where you are. Also call your local paper or radio station and tell them you've got some of these folks in front of you, would they like the story?
So you propose getting all Church of Scientology on their asses?:)
That reminds me when the ground wire to my battery cable went loose on my Isuzu I-Mark. The guages went completely nuts. It said I was going about 50 mph at 600 rpms when I was merely creeping out of the parking lot!
I wouldn't mind one myself. C'mon, how many times have you taken quite possibly the nastiest dump of your life, and do the following?
1. Check to see if anyone else is in the bathroom 2. Grab a fresh wad of toilet paper 3. Wet up the wad of toilet paper in the sink 4. Race back to said toilet, wipe yourself with said wad 5. Wipe again with new, dry wad of toilet paper.
Sounds like these new toilets will prevent myself from having to do that, so I can eat all the fast food I want. Yay!
I can't be compelled anymore usually to surf beyond the usual dynamic sites i check(livejournal, slashdot, fark, and any forum I'm a regular on), but it seems to me the web is just getting slower and slower. Nope, it's not my connection it seems. I get the same random DNS errors and such at work, or even at a friend's house. It gets to the point where if the page I'm looking for on a list of search engine results doesn't come up within x seconds, screwit.
Another thing is that the pop-up ads have got to go. Remember when it was just ONE pop-up ad from ONE website, that being Geocities? Now it's on practically every website out there, minus Slashdot, thank you. I don't believe everyone's website is so dang popular they can't afford the bandwidth charges, forcing them to get pop-up ads. Yes, I know you can stop them, but think of how much pop-up ad banner traffic is taking up on a global scale.
And yes, the search engine results are getting slopper and sloppier. Any search on google will get you 50% 404 errors, or horribly-done web pages usually on angelfire or geoshitties.
Livejournal? Great concept, if you don't mind taking a crap shoot trying to load up a page. it's down about half the time now, if not totally overrun by drama queens.:)
Oh where have the days of the creative web pages gone done by university students on their spare time?
I've found myself watching TV more nowadays, and I don't even have cable.
Well, you can play a step further and claim stupidity. Don't say "No, i didn't receive nor read an email summons to court on April 14, 2002", just say "what email?"
Didn't the old school HERO Jr Robot sing DAISY? It also sung about a bicycle built for 2. i borrowed a friend of mine's HERO about 10 years ago, and it couldn't go 10 feet without getting stuck on nothing, proclaming "help! help!". That robot drove the dogs nuts.
CHeck out Lugnet.com.Someone recently just made an all-Lego roller coaster, using monorail(or is it train?) parts and it does everything. Loop de loops, the works. Often passengers fall out, but it works. Motors control everything!
Give me a couple days, I can probably crank out a Lego prototype for less. Just as soon as I'm finished with making a Lego CVT(which also uses rubber bands).

You can find those clips on TvParty.com.
It's amazing how much of the series made in '85 ended up becoming so true later.
...minus the drawing stylus.
The Etch-A-Scetch animator was released in the '80s, and you can do frame-by-frame animation with it. Used the same 2 knobs just like the original.

This is true, indeed. I wouldn't be surprised if an extra gets their own series of novels.

Not to nitpick, but Nien Nub was a mail-in promo offer 20 years ago, and I NEVER GOT MINE!
FUnny you should mention that. Our entire QA lab one day consisted of 99% of the QA staff playing Bejeweled during lunchtime.
The popcap games are addictive, and wiht many of them on PDAs, you can do something during boring company meetings!
Times have changed for Paint Shop Pro, my friend. It has evolved quite a bit, and it's $100, compared to $600 for Photoshop.
90% of the features of Photoshop for a fraction of the price.
That was featured in a bogus commercial in one of the RoboCop movies. The owner opens his car door to find a totally char-broiled car thief spill out.

Imagine if USB wasn't allowed to market until after the first few years during which its initial bugs were worked out...
I think it was called the serial port.

Drug dealer files lawsuit against drug supplier for selling him some bad weed, and some cocaine "padded" with baking soda and talcum.

1. yahoo's my start page. I get to see up to 4 possibly-relevant news articles.
2. Fark. I get my good share of the weird news, and of course NewsFlash articles, which are just links to other news sites. I'm happy.

Just send the starving kids to Mars. That way, they technically wouldn't be a problem on OUR planet. :)
