Yeah, apparantly its really really hard to design websites so that if there`s a lot of traffic, you dump the graphics etc, and serve a low-bandwidth version.
If it entertains you, then its good art. Otherwise its bad art. Any other definition is pointless - you end up going around in subjective little circles, proving nothing.
The EU recently released a report encouraging business & individuals to encrypt data, as the Americans, and sympathetic governments (UK) can read it via Echelon. Now they are saying that once you`ve encrypted it, you have to give the passwords to...uh, the UK government!
Lets face it, the story is a bit dull. Who cares? Is there a category in the Darwins Award for people who dont kill themselves, but rather keep themselves so busy with pointlessness that the effect is the same?
"And ofcourse; if it's really cold, don't go out in a field on your own. Take one or more people with you because you wouldn't want to be found the next morning with hypothermia"
Yeah, and dont forget to breathe out roughly as often as you breathe in.
Me too. Sometimes i`m watching a film, then i just sit bolt upright and go `fuck! what channel is this on?`. Before, i used to have to wait until the end, or the adverts, but now, thanks to logos, i can look up at the corner of the screen, and see the logo. Thank god for that!
Lucas was interviewed in the UK press over the weekend. He said he doesnt have time to read what 10,000 people think of his movies. I got the impression he couldnt care less - and who can blame him?
I got the impression that he`s an integral part of the plot. Perhaps Lucas personally really likes the character, and doesnt realize he`s so despised. Or perhaps he really doesnt care.
He also said he sees the DVD as what he really wanted to do in the first place, before it was cut/changed for the distributors, and that DVDs will be seen as the definitive `directors cut` versions, and the cinema/tv versions as merely commercials for them.
I`m finding this conversation hard to interpret. It would perhaps be more convenient if you compiled your thoughts into a more easily processable package.
I`ll never forget the day i read his ridiculous tirade against Doom. He was some guy, with a magazine with a circulation of 27, filled with pleas for articles (strangely it wasnt a magnet for cutting edge ideas and designs), telling everyone that the most popular game ever wasnt really very good, and instead they should model their new games on NamelessAtari400Game#102142 or whatever the hell nonsense he write (in 1984 or something).
I laughed, and laughed, and laughed. Good to see he`s been keeping himself busy. Hey, maybe he`ll get Jeff Minter in to code it?
You`ve been threatened by the FBI, if http://216.167.120.50/fbi-psia.htm is correct.

Both agents were very courteous during most of the conversations. Except toward the end of the conversation with Mr. Marzilliano, when I mentioned my intention to publish an account without revealing his and Mr. Castano's names, he warned me there would be "serious trouble" if their names were published, and that he would be speaking with the US Attorney about the matter and call me again

then you have to factor in the cost of your laptop into the equation! If thats included, then yeah, you could buy some more ram instead.
I really like the idea of digital photography, and will replace my APS camera with a digital one as soon as i get the same quality for the same cost (a year or 2?).
Sure, if you can find such a model. Although theres no real advantage to it being widely distributed if theres no connection between distribution and profit.
Click click...damn! out of RAM. Shame i couldnt afford another memory stick. Suppose i`ll have to delete some pics. (5 hours later) Hmm..i`m sure i had a shot of the precise moment the two cars collided.

When it was discovered that the opposite to being `pro-nazi` as you put it, was not yielding to a foreign power.

No, it just means that it takes less time to watch the same film in the UK, compared to the States.

"we never really had them and we don't want them!"
We have them on all channels in the UK except for BBC1/2, and most ITV/C4 programs (but i`ll expect the number to decrease slowly).
I think in the UK its 8 mins max per hour. I`m all for sticking them together into a big lump so i can skip them in one go.

a polygon is 2d. It has 3 points, the most complicated object capable of always,only existing in 2d.
"Many innocent Germans died, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have destroyed the Nazis."
No, but we shouldnt have killed >100,000 civilians if we want to be able to point fingers.
"How long will Star office or FREE Star Office be available?"
Any free software will always be available. You cannot rescind it once its been released. Whoosh! There it goes, into the wild - source and all.

"/usr/local/bin - executables that didn't come with your linux distro "
Hehe..thats pretty intuitive.
"Digital "film", regardless of media type, is SO cheap"
Its extremely expensive, compared to film, if you are comparing one roll of film with the cost of the ram to store the equivalent number of pics.
"Hey, they're free, right? Click click click click click."

"If we can decipher age-old languages"
We cant. Not without help, like a Rosetta stone. No-one`s going to work out something like JPEG on their own.
Yeah, and the universe is far older than previously thought, scientists announced today. Another classic they wheel out every 6 months or so.
