whos really sick of the phrase/word/buzzword 'killer-app'. It seems like everythings being touted as it, without anyone really understanding what the hell it means. Or maybe i dont really understnad what it means. I dunno, buzzwords just irk me.
At least here in WI i think you can be put in jail for a long time for driving that fast. Twice the limit is driving with intent to kill and you can be charged with attempted reckless manslaughter or something like that.
They can make spider silk, its not the same as just collecting it like silkworms, as spiders dont take well to animal husbandry, but its an interesting process. Goat embryos are genetically modified so the milk they produce will contain the protien in spider silk. The goats are milked, protien extracted, and spun into fibers.
Does the suit thingy force you to tell 'back in my day' stories about walking uphill in the snow barefoot to chop firewood and spend a nickle on a movie?
Try sticking a paperclip in the emergency eject hole while a 48x drive is kicked up to speed, it will ricochet around the room for some time. Great fun with AOL CDs.
There is a home market for these. So often at shows i go to, the opening bands will toss out free cds that they recorded, mixed, and then burned, probably on their own equiptment in their basement. The quality isn't studio, but a couple of 17 year olds opening for lesser known bands in small bars cant really afford studio time and cd stamping. BTW, stamping only becomes economical if you do A LOT, some friends of mine were forced to make their fans pre-order their CDs because there was no way in hell they could afford to have them stamped themselves. But since then they've gotten signed to Drive-Thru.
There were some studies done a while ago that found cheap media would disintegrate at speeds faster than 48x. I dont think i'd trust my 200 CD-Rs that i got for $3 to work properly in anything faster than 24x.
They tried this sorta, remember the whole free computer thing a while ago. Some company was like giving away computers or selling them super cheap, but there was always ads on the screen. I think people realized they could just reformat and the company went belly up.
Just as we went up north during prohibition to get our fix we're gonna have canadians coming down here to buy blank CD-Rs. $50 per 100?!?! I got 200 for $3-US (after rebates of course) at office max.
[geek]ANH is episode 4!!!!!, and electrobinoculars are electronic image enhancers, they have nothng to do with oil. fun fact: electrobinoculars were never used in the movie, but were in a cut scene, luke originally watched the battle between the Tantive IV and Devastator above tatooine, that scene should be in the ultimate edition dvd. [/geek]But i havn't read the old novelization:p
I love changing the homepage of computers at the gateway store, or the roadrunner kiosk at the mall to http://www.2600.com. I come back later and they're all freaked out because they think they got h4x0r3d by some 1337 d00d.
I rememebr a few years back pepsi did something like this, you could trade in 'pepsi points' for tracks on a custom cd, 20 pts for a 5 track cd, 50 for 15 or something. They had a listing of the tracks you could pick, and not all of it was super-mainstream stuff. I'm not sure of the format though, i never bothered to collect enough points.
I always figured given the general philosophy of the federation that all their computers would run open source. Now how do i get the sexy computer voice on mine?

I love the little cds, theyre awsome. Now if only the little DVD-Rs were readily avalible, more data than a CD-R but half the size.

Just tell the geeks theres free uncapped cable on the moon. Thats what somebody told John Carmack.
Except for 3, The Search for Spock was loads better than I, V, or generations.

I dunno about those JLO cds not reeking, and its the Beastie Boys fyi.

Yeah, but fiber can get wet and not short out, since its pulses of light and not electrical signals.
To late, they've got trained rats they use in construction to run fone lines, coax, cat5 etc.
OMG, is that the Carbon Rod?!?
