Winamp was play "Anakin vs Obi-Wan" from my Star Wars Episode III soundtrack CD.
First claiming that Kazaa users are breaching copyright, what's next? Using Winamp to play cartel based CDs instead of the 'media browser' launched by the CD violates the DMCA?
I hope a talented South Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Tai, ecetera) director and production crew to use this technology have a full blown stereoscopic 3d epic consists of troops, sword fighting, spears, and even elephants.
I would gladly part lots of money (moreso than any Star Wars film combined) to see a film adaptation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Tales of the Genji, adaptations of Chinese or Japanese novels, recreations of historic military battles, or even a mad crazy samurai flick. I just hope the director and script would be a high enough calibre to have a in depth story with Eastern psychology and thinking.
Giving the technology to Asian filmakers would the killer app for the tech. Shame the VCD version wouldn't be able to transfer the effects.
As what Bono said before Sunday Bloody Sunday before concerts, "Fuck the Revolution."
Taken from A Shot in the dark
During the bridge, Bono hushes the band down to just the drums and the bass, while the Edge slowly figures and listens.
I'm sick of Irish Americans, who haven't been home in twenty or thirty years, come up to me and tell me about the glory of the revolution. The glory of dying for the revolution. Fuck the revolution. Where's the glory in dragging a man from his bed and gunning him down in front of his wife and children? Where's the glory in that? Where's the glory in bombing old age pensioners as part of a remembrance day parade, their medals polished up for the day? Where's the glory in that?
Neon Genesis Evangelion was Hideki Anno's hommage to the mecha subgenre of Japanese with references and subtexts from Mobile Suit Gundam, Dubine, Space Cruiser Yamato, Macross, and even the school drama of Project A-Ko and Gainax's own Gunbuster.
At least Morgan Webb has a nice bod with her gaming senses. From the rumors I read online, I wonder if she is dating Martin Sargent. At least Adam Sessler is funny to watch.

Anne: Jill, are you a member of any clubs?
Jill: Yes (laughing).
Anne: What's funny about that?
Jill: I'm a former member of Mensa.
Anne: Former member of Mensa.... did they throw you out?
What's next, seeing a CG rendering of the President of the United States giving out virtual conferences even though he or she didn't utter those words but only used pictures of the oval office?
I don't think I would accept a CG cartoon talking about National Policy or giving briefings because heads of state are elected officials who are responsibile for thier actions, no matter what newspeak tells you.
Basic. Either C64 or Apple II I used Bank Street Writer and learned about how computers worked then. I did some programming on Apple II and tried to recreate Mario from Donkey Kong. Since then, I've been using GUIed Windows and it has dumbed down my productivity. Big time. Now I only spend time typing responses in blog stories and/or forums that nobody responds too.
No wonder why Star Wars is still remembered today, the inhabitants of the "galaxy far far away" speak thier own languages. Wookies speak Shyriiwook, almost all of the Tatooniense understand Huttese, and almost everybody else speaks in "basic".
As you guys complained how the whole Star Wars franchise went downhill, just be grateful that if it wasn't for George Lucas helming Star Wars (Episode IV for us geeks), all alien lifeforms would speak in English.
Even though I always wanted to use Linux and other open source alternatives, I just feel comfortable using Windows.
I admit I have friends who uses Linux but my best friend said that he had to take a while to learn about the formatting, the instalation of software (compiling for the rest of the Slashdot crowd), and the ocasional file that is hard to find out in Linux.
I had heard of Live CDs and a HUGE fan of OSS (I used to run Mozilla but now I have been using Firefox and Open Office exclusively), but I tend to do my fair share of cd burning and I wonder what is the OSS equivilent of Alcohol 120% or Nero. I am aware of open media players and the popular emulators are Linux native.
The main thing that stands in my way is my fully partitioned HDD and I am running low on space (8 gigs out of a formatted 32Gig HDD, an IBM 40Giger). Once I gain more funds, I plan on getting a niiice HDD and dl some DVD ISOS, and go Linux.
Then my biggest concern is the almighty compiling to install software, not all executables are Fedora/Mandrake executables.
I give Microsoft my hat for copying the best features from the early Sparc/Mac OSes while having executables that enable easy software (mostly a third party solution with most EXEs). Is there going to be a standard executable instalation to instal the the/usr that is compatible with most kernals? Sorry if I sound like a noob who should be posting at USENET and not a blog.

This brings a whole new meaning to the relationship between Gouki/Akuma and Ryu.

I thought somebody announced for a reward to port Linux to the Xbox 360? I guess I misread the topic.

Fry : Where are we going?
Leela : Nowhere special. The moon.
Fry : The mo - the moon? The moon moon? Wow! I'm going to be a hero, like Neil Armstrong or those other guys no one ever heard of.
Fry : Can I do the countdown?
Leela : Huh? Oh, sure. Knock yourself out.
Fry : Ten. [ship takes off]
Fry : Nine. [ship reaches the moon]
Leela : Okay, we're here.
Fry : [quietly] Eightsevensixfivefourthreetwooneblastoff.
Narrator: The story of lunar exploration started with one man - a man with a dream.
Animatronic Ralph Kramden: One of these days, Alice. Bang. Zoom. Straight to the moon.
Leela : Wow! I never realized the first astronauts were so fat.
Fry : That's not an astronaut, it's a TV comedian! And he was just using space travel as a metaphor for beating his wife.
Narrator: No one really knows when, where, or how man landed on the moon...
Fry : I do!
Narrator: ...but our Fungineers imagine it went sometihg like this.
[Animatronic whalers emerge from a lunar lander]
Animatronic whalers: [Singing] We're whalers on the moon.
Animatronic gophers: We carry a harpoon.
Animatronic gophers, Animatronic whalers: But there are no whales, so we tell tall tales and sing a whaling tune.
Fry : That's not how it happened.
Leela : I don't see you with a Fungineering degree.
Why have them, supported by newer or existing leglislation, why not have them Ride the Lightning.

Only penguins would stand up against Darth Vader.
*opening shot of penguins on ice*Narrator: J'ai un sentiment très mauvais à ce sujet.
I have a very bad feeling about this.
Where is the evidence of your claim and why is it ranked insightful instead of funny?
If your post was a joke then I would of laughed more but posting this as 'insightful' is mind boggling.
Please help this confused USian out.
More like an a mecha from a Mazinger manga or anime. Kind of like GOOOO DIVVVVAAAAH.
I would pay good money if they made the Mandriva distro's mascot a super penguin robot with a pointy head and sharp wings. Go Nagai would be proud.
Understood the Gundam reference.

Got the quote from here.
Brian Roberts: The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities that some consider to be unatural.
Mike Ramsay: Is it possible to learn this power.
Brian Roberts: Not from a techie.
Torvalds: The Open Source Initiative wants you to report on all the Roberts' dealings.
Ramsay: This is a breach of contract.
Torvalds: We are at war Ramsay.
Page: Very dangerous putting them together. I don't think the boy can handle him. I don't trust him.
Roberts (to Ramsay): I need your help son.
Roberts: I'm appointing you to be my personal representative on the Open Source Initative.
Page: You're on this Council but we do not grant you the rank of Master.
Ramsay: What?
Ramsay: (looking at TIVO Box) Tovarlds and the council don't trust me.
Roberts (to Ramsay): Learn to know the dark side of the force and you will achieve a power greater than any techie.
Page: You're under arrest Comcast.
Roberts: Are you threatening me Master Techie? (camera switches to a Microsoft branded Lightsaber and a high pitched voice change).
Emperor Gates (to Ramsay): Every single techie is now an enemy of the Computerspace. Do what must be done. Do not hesitate. Show no mercy.
Scene Change: A robed Ramasay leads a group of DRM Clone Troopers and there is motion swipe towards a TV watching Leo Laporte.
Tovalds: Who could have done this?
Palmisano: Twisted by the dark side young Ramsay becomes.
Jobs: I feel so helpless.
Tovalds (to Ramsay): You're the chosen one!

If a blogger can go into E3 and get press access, then blogging is journalism.
Ssshh, don't tell the E3 people that or a lot of us gamers wouldn't find any other way to go into E3 without the press pass.

I recall, Gene Simmons used that gesture to only give a wink to fellow Spiderman fans.
The 'devil horns' isn't Satan worship, but I doubt the militant religious right doesn't read that many comic books.
