I have found at least one cheap DVD that wasn't encrypted... Laserlight's release of His Girl Friday with Carey Grant.
Found out when I dragged the contents from the DVD to my HD and it copied fine without DeCSS, etc.
If they start pulling this in the US, I'm going to remember to grab a few packs every time I go in the store and then ditch them in the toy department.
You have to wear a spacesuit????? You have an intergalactic spaceship without a shirtsleeve environment???
Do you realize how long of a trip that is?
Back to the drawing board! Your design sucks!!!
I suck at this game. I mean I truly, absolutely suck.
I've triggered every fucking booby-trap there is.
I've tried to give up, I wish I could give up, but there's nobody to give up to!
I can't get out, I've ended up just being a fucking part of the room description that other players sometimes notice as they pass by.
I don't know about the solar panel thing you're mentioning, I've never heard that before.
However you are wrong on one point. NASA has never orbited Mercury.
It sent Mariner Ten to Venus and then Mercury... It flew by Mercury twice while orbiting the sun, photographing about 40% of the surface.
A fascinating development took place recently. On March 2, 1999, patent 5,878,155 was issued to Houston inventor Thomas W. Heeter described as a "Method for verifying human identity during electronic sale transactions".
Heeter's patent "abstract" reads:
"A method is presented for facilitating sales transactions by electronic media. A bar code or a design is tattooed on an individual. Before the sales transaction can be consummated, the tattoo is scanned with a scanner. Characteristics about the scanned tattoo are compared to characteristics about other tattoos stored on a computer database in order to verify the identity of the buyer. Once verified, the seller may be authorized to debit the buyer's electronic bank account in order to consummate the transaction. The seller's electronic bank account may be similarly updated."
Heeter's invention is aimed toward the booming world of Internet E-commerce. In the very near future, many products will be purchased E-commerce via the Internet. WorldNet Daily writes, ". . . Internet e-commerce figures spiraling upward, and the European market expected to surpass the U.S. online community in a couple of years, potential sales online have been projected to reach nearly $1 trillion by 2003." (WorldNet Daily, September 30, 1999)
Maybe the lighning strike is the reason that the data about life were inconclusive. Either there is life but Voyager decided to hide it from us, or Voyager was detecting its own newly alive self.
I learned about this stuff from a documentary movie called "Short Circuit."
NASA initially tried to explain the images away as pixel faults, passing meteors or asteroids, etc.
They are always pulling that kind of rationalization or disinformation.
Once, when I showed them a picture I had of an alien on the moon, they tried to explain it away as being Buzz Aldrin. When I kept confronting them, they clamped up.
That's a good point. I've seen interviews where a lot of marriage counselors say that more relationships would last if people would just get the TV out of the bedroom.
It's thier first recommendation. Causes more intimacy, closeness, discussion which leads to understanding and resolving problems rather than just zoning out.
As far as the porn question, well... use porn in your lovemaking LESS OFTEN and you might actually relate to each other as real people better...
And when you DO use the porn, then you get the fun of doing it in the living room.:D
er... I didn't RTFA either... but it just makes me wonder.
Why suppose that it was a nuke - We have no shortage of desert, with nobody around, right?
So why would we detonate a nuke in a populated area?
A secret test, after all.
Much more interesting to me is the theory that the chicago fire (and a disastrous fire hundreds of miles away that happened simultaneously) are the result of a glancing comet impact. THATs interesting.

I'm beginning to think so...

Can we make our own Ionic Breeze® machine out of one of these?

solar powered sidewalk lights.
Does this story leave anyone else with a craving for a Mokie Coke?
but are they non-GMO???
Thanks for the info! That looks like a fun project. I wonder if this could be done with an LCD screen - probably the backlight isn't strong enough...
there is only one person who I hope is a casualy in this war. and it's not Saddam Hussein.
little sputniks?
Why didn't they suggest ALL DVDS, seeing as we have the legal right already to space-shift media we have already purchased?
and bush & cronies want to relax the restrictions even more as far as who can own how much in a market. this country is going to shit.

I wasn't even aware that Ask Jeeves was still around! Is someone still giving them capital to burn?!?!?
Is there a way to use the Apple Cinema Display with a PC with video card with DVI out?
