It made it to theaters, it still had spielbergs name attached to it i think. Not that he directed it, but like "Steven Spielberg's: Taken", or any of Tom Clancy's series.
Since i got broadband a few years ago i started downloading TV shows off kazaa mostly and IRC if i was looking for something specific, i know downloading tv shows is a legal grey area, but i downloaded some commercials too(anyone seen the trunk monkey car ad?). Once i had every episode of the simpsons i realized i needed some more space. Added an 80gb HD, which was later upgraded to a 160gb and so on, i currently have about a quarter TB in my main PC. I kept everything well organized, folder for each series, all filenames were "Show Title - Episode #/production code - Episode Title", the prod.#s and episode titles i got all from here. Then i noticed a lot of the shows i had sitting on my HD were coming out on dvd. DVD has so many advantages over the stuff i downloaded/encoded myself; quality, special features, portability, etc. I started to burn entire seasons to data CD-Rs(dont have a dvd burner yet) for backup as shows were released on DVD. This's freed up A LOT of HD space. I havn't gotten around to buying all of what i've burned, still havn't bought the Dr Who, DS9, SG1 or Red Dwarf sets, but i have The first season of Farscape, and all of the Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama and South Park Sets and also the Complete Series of Firefly on preorder.:p If your looking at several $K NAS solutions i think just buying the DVDs is within your budget. The only thing i miss about not having all the shows on HD is just opening up my playlist with every show in it on shuffle, but i guess i could get a 500 disc DVD player or something. Do they even make those?
E-mail spam is a lot less useful for revenge. Want to really piss someone off, go to the library, grab as many subsription cards as you can from the magazine section, fill them out and check bill me later. Also all sorts of free samples of things are annoying and can be damn confusing. As a prank i got signed up for some stuff, somehow i got on some list and recieved; condoms, depends, astroglide and menopause medicine. Also if your really out to get someone and want to get them looked at by the feds, sign 'em up for the NAMBLA newsletter or something like that.
Could this be over more than just 1000 vs 1024? Its anoying and somewhat misleading that theres no * on HD boxes saying that it formats smaller. My origingal 40Gb in this box is only 37.5Gb, the 160 is only 152, i had an 80 that only formatted to 74, my 20Gb mp3 player is only 18.6, and i just helped my friend set up his new computer, the most we could format his 250Gb drive to was 233Gb. 17Gb is a lot, and you really wish it was there once you start to run low.
There is no bug virulent enough to infect and spread quickly enough to work like that. To work like that it would have to be, a virus (could survive varying conditions better outside a host), airborne(the only feasable way for a popluation to become infected not from a primary source), work quickly enough for the infected to become ill and contagious before they could be quarantined and, it goes without saying that it would have to be deadly in the first place. I dont know of any bugs that fit this bill. Only influenza and the common cold spread like this, a deadly influenza strain could work, but influenza vaccines are effective enough now that a pandemic like in 1918 would not be possible. SARS was pretty bad, but it wasn't as infectious or even as deadly(lower fatality % rate) than the influenza strain of 1918.
Find me a feasable system for quickly and widley distributing a biological or chemical agent and i'll start to worry. Modern bio/chem attacks have made headlines, but have been mostly innefective. Something like 5 people died in the sarin attack on the tokyo subway, and that was in enclosed railcars. Anthrax spoors seem deadly enough, but there isn't any good method of delivery for them, the best someones come up with is in letters, and that only yeilded a handful of deaths. IMO the only true "Weapon of Mass Destruction" is a nuke, anything else just isn't effective enough. It would be impossible to detonate a gas bomb in the middle of a city and expect more than those immediatly exposed to be affected.
This guy's modded a monitor, the v2, (i know, uhg flash, but some of the stuff is pretty cool) Also i'd think the Mac CRTs we have at school, came with the G4s, completly transparent would be perfect to put some lights inside. Also i got these and this(also avalible at thinkgeek). Got both in blue and arranged them like in the pictures, they're quite bright and light up my desk pretty well. I had to lengthen the cable on one of the small ones to get it to the other side of the monitor, i attached the control boxes(off-sound reactive-on, and sensitivity) tot he back of my speakers. I got a usb card for something like $5 and wired the ports into the switchbox i made in my empty 3.5" bay. 4 switches with blue LEDs, one controls the case fan, one controls this inside the front of my case. Its one of those radioshack Compaqs with the changable transluscent front panels, it lights up pretty well. The other two switches control the monitor lights. Its a pretty simple but uniqe mod, no window, no cold cathodes. Inside though, round cables for improved airflow and the case fan is a blue led fan and it shines out the vents pretty well. E-mail me if you want pictures.
Yup, if it were cheaper than it is now to launch stuff into space, the perfect solution would just be to grab all the nuclear waste, all the chunks of plutonium they use as doorstops at the nuke plants or whatever, coat 'em in steel just like m&ms then fire them on a rocket into the sun. If the rocket crashes, you just go pick up the candy coated chunks and try it again.
props to whoever can point out what this is from:p
I'm glad they decided to destroy this, unlike some of our other probes. We all know what happened when V'Ger came back, who knows what Galileo could have done.

Sorry, hate to burst your bubble but Drive Thru and Victory are both members, but at least they're not the big 5.
Pentium 5, isn't that redundant? Maybe it'll be the Pentium^2.
I know the cheap Apex DVD players will convert PAL to NTSC output(at least they will with VCDs, i assume they would for DVDs too).

Uh-oh.

Unfortunately the neighbors decided to microwave a burrito and their throughput went all to hell.
Earth Day Guy: That's not true. (Waving hand.) Global warming is going to kill us all. The Republicans are responsible.

Or just hack into it to show billboard sized porno or something.
And the Fing-longerer.
Article here. Its a step up from jizz mopper though.

And quite well i might say, no custom designs yet, but you can get a matching computer skin and mouse pad

Maybe you missed it yesterday, but they're gonna crash that into jupiter. :p
