Gosh, you're optimistic - I've seen worse drek than that called classic. However, I do wonder if the poster is under 15 - neither of those films is of sufficient age or quality to be considered classic. I can imagine a 10-year-old considering them both classics because of their considerable age, however, or because of what possibly seems like excellent writing and great depth to someone of such undeveloped tastes and intellect. A 15-year-old may even be so juvenile as to consider special effects sufficient to make a movie a classic, which is why I changed my suggested age from 12 as I wrote.
Everytime I use Windows, it's ill-behaved ways and wonky UI strengthen my dislike of it and give me more ammunition to use in convincing others to abandon it (convincing others to migrate from Windows is another hobby of mine).
Thank you and the folk at Micro$oft for making Windows and all of your other products so poor that despising them just gets easier the more I use them.
P.S. Clippy is particularly helpful in convincing people to avoid M$ products.
Friends of mine had them when I was a child. A light saber is just a plastic tube with a hole in the end. When someone swings it around, air enters through the hole and the noise travels through the tube creating a whoosh sound. It's pretty basic physics.
I've never understood these complaints about heavy laptops. Cripes! "weighs over 3 kilograms," eh? If you can't hold that much weight for a while then you need even the slight workout you'd get from gaming that way. You remind me of the people here at the office who will wait 5 minutes for an elevator to arrive and take them up or down a single floor, ignoring the stairs 5 feet away.
IIRC from the previous article, a previously created app from the originator of these motion sensor hacks tilts the contents of the screen so that as the PB tilts the picture stays level to the viewer (i.e. - PB screen goes left and down, screen contents go right and up to compensate).
I'm not certain, but I don't think AOL 1 supports IMAP.
Just kidding - I am certain AOL 1 doesn't support IMAP. I feel safe saying AOL 2, 3 etc also don't support IMAP. Since the original poster specifically mentions getting mail from AOL 1 mailboxes, I think there's a step missing in the IMAP solution. Remember, AOL (any version) is not a decent email client. I suppose that if it's possible to take mail from an AOL mailbox back up to the server then perhaps a POP client could DL it and then upload it back to IMAP...
So - the point of KOYAANISQATSI, a series of short clips with no dialogue, is the script rather than the editing? I think you'll have difficulty convincing anyone of that - particularly since I don't imagine that there was a script. In these days of atrocious crap becoming monster hits more because of the special effects than due to remotely decent writing, stating that the screenplay is the core of any movie is silly. Even with Star Wars, originally a hit because of the story, Lucas has abandoned all pretense of depending on good writing in favor of cheap story-telling and expensive but pointless effects.
I get very annoyed by people saying things which they clearly don't mean. Note that I don't get so annoyed that I literally die - if I did then I clearly wouldn't be alive to type this.
By pedantile are you suggesting that I'm being both pedantic and infantile? If so, too bad - saying that mini contains no "i" is indeed idiotic. That's akin to stating that Mississippi is spelled without an "i" - or stating that cars don't have taillights (hey, they aren't on the front).
When it comes to performing your own hardware repairs, I assure you that Apple doesn't design and build their own custom drives, connectors, video cards, etc - the hardware is generally the same stuff used in Wintel boxes. I don't know about WilW, but most people don't repair their own laptops regardless of brand (although I have, thanks to serious upgrading of one PowerBook and a nasty patch of ice landing my bike and me atop another); most Macs are uncommonly easy to work on - although the Mac Mini is probably an exception.
So far as going weeks without your computer, I've had one warranty PB repair, my mother's iBook had a warranty power supply replacement, and I've known two people with lemon PowerBooks (they weren't complaining - after three repairs they both got a free newer model PB as a replacement) and I can tell you that Apple generally gets your Mac back to you within just a few days. Frequently a PB has been back repaired 2-3 days after it was shipped off.
I certainly won't claim that OS X never flakes out but I've never had the sort of severe issues I've experienced with Windows and Linux. If worst comes to worst, of course, you can simply reinstall (retaining your user folder) but I seriously doubt it would ever come to that. You could also create a second partition and clone your entire system over so that if you ever have serious issues you simply clone your existing installation back over - I did that but wound up recovering the space because I never needed my backup system. Another note is that if you don't want to learn most of Apple's GUI tools then you can simply use most of the same command line tools you use under Linux.
uh... the name "Mac Mini" contains two "i"s and therefore saying we've seen 'the release of a new consumer product without "i" in the name' is incorrect. The name doesn't BEGIN with "i" but the letter is certainly in the name.
You see, those of use not using IE have tabbed browsing and clicked more than one of those links before we knew the first was down. In fact, those using IE on the Mac can at least cmd-shift-click a link and open it in a window behind the current window.
Why do you think the question on everyone's mind is when Testing will move to Stable? It's because we want a stable version of Sarge, one which won't break packages.
Cripes, this is going to be one of those "how dense can a person be?" articles I mention to everyone I know so that they can laugh at your obliviousness to the blantantly obvious...
Well - PC stands for Personal Computer. I run Mac OS X on my primary Personal Computer (although I do have an old Intel box from the office which I use fo rPerl/Tk testing and file storage - that personal computer won't run OS X).
Despite the major labels use of the word "greatest" in place of the term "best known," they are not synonymous. It is actually sadly rare that the greatest of anything (at least, anything artistic) is remotely well-known. I'm sure that many copies will eventually be sold of "Britney Spears' Greatest Hits," but none of those hits will be great - unlike much of Guided by Voices' ouvre, none of which is a hit. On a different note, I suggest you read The Watchmen.
That comment reminds me of a friend who once made the remark "I've d-d-d-done l-l-lots of d-d-rugs a-a-a-a-and th-h-ey've never d-d-d-done an-n-nyth-thing t-t-t-to m-me."
He's since stopped doing drugs (other than alcohol and nicotine) and also stopped stuttering...
Cable isn't available in my neighborhood, and so I've avoided seeing the Clone Wars cartoons until I seek them out shortly before seeing Star Wars 6 (aka Episode 3). Am I correct in assuming that what looks like shots from a cartoon in the trailer are actually animated (I mean, special effects) scenes from the next movie?
Just because they're available doesn't mean I need to waste my time on them. Heck, I'd still buy a Mac even if Visual Studio.Net were available for Macs. In fact, I recently bought a Mac even though M$ has been distributing them with NT for XBox2 development.

I hope they did not get any wrinkles in their aluminum. It must be orderly if the ondes radio it is to keep out.
I for one don't welcome Baron Karza as my new armor-wearing overlord. Commander Rann? Captain Universe? Bug? are you out there?
If they didn't sue when Microsft announced Windows XP after Apple announced Mac OS X then I don't Apple will sue now.

I don't think anyone needs a special "high-"school. they can learn to get high at an opld-fashioned junior high or high school.

I believe it was primarily pot and occasional LSD. Mostly joints, but much more often than occasionally.
I think that's the LSb. LSB would be the Least Significant Byte.
