now xenu.net is fighting a losing battle. I work at an ISP and am waiting for their page to load. The site has a lot of links to various public resources, like an alt.religion.scientology archive, the recently de-classified FBI files on L. Ron Hubbard, and various Scientology documents. I guess Scientologists don't want factual information about their group in one easy place for people to see. It also has Carl Sagan's Baloney Detection Kit, from The Demon Haunted World: Science as a candle in the dark which is an excellent book.

Every one should read Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon, where they read someone else's screen by intercepting the radio waves coming off his computer. They scanned for the video card signals, and found the horizontal and vertical sync on the monitor. They could see the screen, but not modify anything. Anyway, its a really cool book. READ IT!

I might be mistaken. I saw it on fucinet.com that they had critic episodes along with Sealab, Space Ghost, etc. I remember watching it late at night, but that could've been on comedy central. Oopsy.
Mines usually aren't all hidden in easy accesible places on a road
Are you sure? Wouldn't it make sense to mine roads and open areas where tanks, jeeps, misc vehicles and troops will march in a column, or supply routes? No one is going to stick lots of mines in places no one else will walk on. Granted there probably are a lot of mines off the roads and open areas, but I think the vast majority would be accessible to a robot.
Simpsons and adult swim are about the only TV I ever watch. You can download episodes of various adult swim shows here. http://www.fucinet.com/epdl/index.html
Note that adult swim picked up old Critic episodes, which also targeted the Simpsons audience and was cancelled after a few seasons. This is promising for Futurama syndication, but forget new episodes.
I'm writing a web-based one of these right now. I want to slit my throat with a letter opener. I'm always so happy to work on other projects, cause I'm not giving my soul to the marketing devils. Its cheap, its sleazy, low budget advertising is like 4th rate porn. Of course he hates his job. I hope that this site I'm writing fails. I really want it to crash and burn. I'm tempted to post it to slashdot: "VBscript/ASP based spamming software running on win2000 server with IIS 5 challenges world to hack their box"
I don't think that would be conducive to remaining employed. So, I'll just encode it, and whoever can crack the code can fuck with the website. Ok, here it is:

People who telemarket and write spam tools are selling their souls and they know it, and hate it, and need to in order to make a living. If an opportunity arose, he would stop marketing as often as I switch to another task. Only the high up marketing pixies actually believe in what they do. Everyone else is just a prostitute.
Well, take out the computer part, and you're already there. Not to get on a "stop playing silly games" soap box, games are cool, just it sounds a bit like you want a life sim. I find the best part of video games is doing things you can't/wouldn't do in real life, like killing random strangers in GTA3. Actually, try that, it sounds like you'd like it.
They should just get together with the perpetual motion machine guy from a few weeks back and together eliminate death and hardship via free energy and organ transplants.
With the ad revenue from their soon to be released website, waitingforstarwars.com, as stated in the original post. The sick thing is that this is mostly a marketing scam thought up by a couple of guys when they were drunk, as a way to drum up a couple hundred bucks from ads. It's a pretty good idea, like when some couple said they would lose their virginity online. It was a big thing, and a lot of people probably watched, (I was not one) and I remember people complaining that the couple were porn stars, not virgins. Anyway, I think this is a publicity stunt for their website.

They're motivations are probably very different (and yet so similar) to our government's motivations.
So this space launch is part of a plan to get more oil?
