  1. Re:Longitude on Centuries-Old Longitude Clock Runs Again · · Score: 1

    This was an A&E 2 part miniseries. I watched part 1 it about 2-3 weeks ago, but missed the second part. It was pretty interesting and I'd like to see the rest.

    >What's the last thing a redneck says before he dies?

    >Hey, everyone, watch this!

    /me hesitates and raises hand(John Candy in Stripes when Ole Yellow died)

    I didn't die(promise), but blew out an ACL on a camping trip. I recall saying almost exactly those words.

    >What!!! Have you guys NO sense of adventure???

    No doubt. The Wright brothers were crazy. The early astronauts were crazy. Crazy people with an idea and a sense of adventure are lot of what built the modern world.

    I didn't even get to see the pictures and I want to ride it.

    This would make a good Junkyard Wars episode.

    It's an aquaduct, not a sewer.

  5. Re:Dissapointing post on Star Wars II Trailer Online · · Score: 3, Insightful

    >C'mon people, please come up with new reasons >for not liking the prequels.

    Here are a few of mine.
    -JJB
    -Pod Race kinda cool, but a lot of eye candy filler contributes nothing to story.
    -Final battle, a bunch of the worst characters ever created lobbing big blue bouncy balls at CGI driods on the Windows XP desktop.
    -Samual Jackson, love him but he is No Jedi
    -Yoda ain't even good
    -Anikan, baaaddd actor; glad he's gone at least
    -The Force is bajillions of tiny creatures living inside all of us. Hahahahaha *choke*

  6. Re:To Those Who Complain. on Star Wars II Trailer Online · · Score: 1

    Look what they did with a good story, tiny models and blue screen with the original. Yea the pod race was cool, but CGI also wrought JJB. This trailer did not inspire me at all which doesn't bode well after the last disaster of a movie.

  7. Re:Same for the music industry.. on Movie Industry Cries All the Way to the Bank · · Score: 3, Informative

    Click "all-time leader" tab, Then "inflation adjusted list" on right.

  8. Re:Indeed cool on Impressive Homemade Aluminum Cube Case · · Score: 1

    I love my brushed aluminum Lian-Li. My only complaint is the face plates Do look out of place. I bought some silver spray paint and was going to experiment with on a couple of old drives first. It seems like bottom to top airflow would work better. The intakes and are near the top. The top blowhole is nice.

  9. Re:Wow I'm impressed! on Impressive Homemade Aluminum Cube Case · · Score: 1

    Looking at the 5 1/4 CD and the 80cm(I assume) fan up top, this thing about a 12" cube.

  10. Re:They still won't know for sure... on Comcast Gunning for NAT Users · · Score: 1

    A lot of people don't have that option. If they wanted to be really evil, they could get a list of covered prefixes from the main DSL provider and go after those people first.

  11. It wouldn't have caught us on Cheating Detector from Georgia Tech · · Score: 1

    Many years ago I took a Cobol class that I hated. It also coincided with the peak of my slacker years at college. The assignments were put into a manilla envelope and slid under the profs door. One week a friend and I went to turn in a Very incomplete project. And lo and behold a bit of manilla sticking out from under the door. It turned into a game after that, we even got one of those flexible grabby things. How much can we change the code without changing the logic.
