i wish stations like maybe cartoon network would play more original 80's cartoons like transformers...even more then that, i'd love for them to play the original 80's G.I. Joe...although, i think i read somewhere that it would just cost too much money for someone to aquire those rights...but to me it seems silly, becuase if this transformers thing works, then there will be millions to be made with toy lines, and video game tie ins...the same thing could work with G.I. Joe....could you image a G.I. Joe vs. Cobra real-time strategy game like Red Alert, or Galactic Battle Grounds...now that would be cool...
yeah...this page (taken from the main story) has some videos...however, they don't appear to be from the "humanoid" division, because all the players look like little boxes...
We really need some good nuisance lawsuit laws so that defendants don't have their money wasted and the courts don't have their time wasted...this kind of thing is a joke...people are too quick to sue on another anymore, and all they have is visions of dollar signs dancing in their eyes...there needs to be sticter penalties, if perhaps the judge decides that the plaintiff is guilty of a nuisance lawsuits...it would make people think twice before bringing idiotic things like this to the courts...
also, i can't wait to see Kirsten Dunst in the wet t-shirt either...
Internet auction fraud was the biggest source of complaints in all fraud involved cases...the X10/java pop-ups don't involve fraud...now, if we were talking about that top complaints of overall internet users, then we'd have another story...
let's not forget that the PS2 debuted before the current downswing in the economy...back then ther was a virtual orgy of consumer spending going on compared to now....the X-box entered the market at a time where consumer confidence and retail spending were both at a very low point...
that said, i have a PS2 and love it...is there anything better then taking out your agressions and leftover frustration from work then with a good game of Grand Theft Auto 3???
that's true....i have a collection of a dozen "rolling-rock" logo glasses that the bar at college use to serve beer in...so did everybody else...imagine how many people would try to get their hands on these babies...the bar would have to put a theft detection system on all the exits, or people would be walking off with these left and right....
those are incredibly annoying...one of my roomates in college had one, and we had to hide it from him when he got drunk...who wants to hear a bicycle bell every 30 seconds...
do local stations really pay license fees for movies? if i'm watching say a movie on NBC on a sunday night at 8:00 in Philadelphia, i always pretty much assumed that it was also on in New York, Boston, etc...because I always assumed that a network broadcast movie, or something like that would always be national broadcasting, not local...amd i wrong here?
This drives me crazy too...if i were to spend all that money on one of the satelitte tv providers, why should i have to additionaly use rabbit-ears (or even local cable) just to get my local stations? it's insane...
however, equally annoying (to me) is some professional sports teams...i understand that they all have their own broadcasting contracts with their local stations...but something needs to be worked out...for instance if you get DirectTV and an NHL package, you can't get most of the Philadelphia Flyers games, because they are broadcast on ComcastSportNet (Comcast owns the Flyers), and Comcast doesn't release the signal to the satelitte TV providers...i think the same thing hold true for the Mets, Yankees and the other MSG teams up in New York...
we live in an age of information, and yet they continue to make it harder for us to get what we want....
if anyone wants to read more look for this book which covers the history of cryptography from ancient egypt to quantum cryptography...i read it, and it was extremely interesting from a mathematical and computer point of view...it includes a whole section of the theories behind quantum computing and quantum cryptography...
we've actually gotten contacted for this scam through not only e-mail but through faxes at my office...yeah, like we're gonna think that a random fax that comes through is legit...right...
that's almost as bad as the old "I send you this file in order to have your advice" virus...
in any case, the Spam letters guy also has this link which has good information about fighting the nigeria scam...
this seems like a little bit of an overkill if it's primarily for security purposes...to me, a better (in terms of accurarcy) security implementation would be thumbprint identification...instead of having a mini camera scanning your mug (and those around you apparently), you should just be able to touch your thumb to the display screen to unlock the phone and use it...that seems a little more realistic (and less big brother-ish)...
of course then, we'll have a rash of people having their phones stolen and their thumbs cut off...
umm, i don't think so...they didn't give the humanitarian award to the guy directing the show...they gave the humanitarian award to the former president of the academy...

if this were true, shouldn't they have given the "Best Director" award to Altman??? he's been around for ever, and is getting up there in years...meanwhile, Opie Howard will be making movies for years to come...
i'm not necessarily saying Opie shouldn't have won the award...just presenting the opposite side to your point...

...connection ports for FireWire and USB (universal serial bus), and wireless networking connections through...
i dunno, is it just me?...but i would think anyone who would be reading this summary on slashdot already knows what USB stands for...
should've been Apache 2.0 scalps IIS...

how about a beer stein that can scan the crowd in the bar...and then keep ordering you beers until the ladies look good...
yeah, but it would probably be the same episode 3 times in a row...

mmmmm...i'm pretty sure that buffy, angel, x-file, & brazil aren't on the same level as star wars, lord of the rings & the matrix...just my opinion...
now, that would be quite a nerd movie marathon...
SW 1-6, LOTR 1-3, Matrix 1-3...
yeah, i hope it doesn't include any pictures of Sir Ian & his "boy" at the academy awards...

have fun with spam, like this guy does....
yes, they were involved in a movie that he had direct involvement in....
umm, i don't think so...they didn't give the humanitarian award to the guy directing the show...they gave the humanitarian award to the former president of the academy...
