are these the "digitally remastered" (ie, with scenes added and changed) versions, or the original films (ie, without the extended dance-remix ending, etc..)?
If you want a better campus wide game, try Assassin, the classic "hunt your target with a squirt gun" game. rules vary, but the ones that prove very fun are these:
a. get a bunch of people to play, preferably 30+
b. assign a judge, and everyone else draws a name from a hat. The person drawn is your target
c. you can only make kills when there are no witnesses : this means when either you and your target are alone, or when you're in a large crowd and nobody's looking. Once squirted/tagged/shotz0red with a paintball gun/whatever, the dead man gives the live one his target, and the field winnows. There are no "safe" zones.
d. everyone chips in $5 to play.
At a SUNY school (state univ... ny), there were several games going at once -- apparently, the professors/grad students got into the action and would call students into their office to "discuss something".... no, it doesn't physically hurt if you're using squirt guns, but the psychological pain of mind-bending paranoia (especially when you don't know how many people are playing) and the mental wrench at not winning the $5*n (where n= people playing) more than make up for it -- and it lasts a lot longer. With a properly chosen number of players (200 or more ?) games can run the entire semester.
what i really hate is that what i'll refer to as a "clipboard buffer" -- a chunk of memory that holds whatever you copied -- seems to be application dependent. IE, closing an application clears the clipboard buffer. very annoying when i copy something in, say, a web browser, close the browser, and try and copy it to a GAIM window.
a word to the wise for those of us on the other side of the big puddle. In a self-defence situation, it's entirely permissible to use force to defend yourself. the catch? no escalation. If they come at you with fists, you can't whip out a gun without breaking a few laws. So, the fact that i routinely (actually, habitually) carry one of these puppies is useful inasmuch as using it as it's intended (a tool) but not as a weapon against your standard grab n' run mugger. Still, it's damn handy to have around, and (regardless of legal implications) still adds a feeling of security when i find myself wandering harlem at 4 AM (which happens now and again).
not only do cars carry people from place to place, a large percentage of us carry lots of stuff in our cars with us. I carry a roadside kit, my EMT bag, a sleeping bag, a few maps, my laptop and assorted computer accessories, and a bag with some toiletries and a spare change of clothes, basically wherever I go. (college kids, you never know where we'll end up sleeping on any given night ^^). This thing, while schnazzy, is apparently lacking anything remotely resembling "cargo space". Hell, where am i supposed to put my laptop, even?
point taken. Sadly, "should be" and "must be" are different. Ideally, computers should 'just work' for the average user, and be effective, useful, and not evil in doing so. That said, this isn't the case in the real world, and users have to have some understanding of basic security pracitces so that they don't get nailed by sasser, or whatever comes next, or spyware and adware and the like. If i wanted to teach my parents, the clueless design major down the hall, or the business major who caught a virus so bad it nuked his BIOS, how to "safely" use their respective computers, it would take me about a week per person. Why? because they insist on using shit sofware that's insecure, buggy, and all around poorly written. To rectify this "should be" versus " is " situation, may i suggest introducing your outlook-using friend to thunderbird, your IE friend to Firefox or Mozilla, your competent windows friends to a copy of knoppix, etc? It's the only way things are going to change.
i'm about to ask a question that demonstrates my cluelessness, so please bear with me. How does one determine what chipset is in use in a given card? I have the intel pro wireless (centrino default) integrated wifi card in my laptop, but i don't know what chipset it uses... and more importantly, i don't know where to look. Help, anybody?
Presumably, a person would have to go through some process to request the ability to communicate via email with someone within another company. Like, oh... calling them? Strange that proposed spam solutions essentially regress to older forms of communication.
according to the network chatter on fedora-devel mailing list, nvidia drivers seem to compile and run just fine, even on fedora's test (beta) releases.
This is understandable, i suppose, as you can keep more profit without the overhead associated with brick n' mortar stores, but still, the stores had a use. I remember trying to help my dad buy his next computer, and it really helped for me to be able to take him to the store and for him to physically see the computer he was going to buy. While large computer outfits can do this too, it was better, conceptually, for him to go to a store that only had one brand of computer, and they weren't all in the back next to shelves of accessories and idiot salesmen (like at CompUSA or Fry's.) Especially for the over 45 crowd, adoption of internet-based sales can be a little discomforting. While i haven't a problem with it, Gateway's target audience just might.

where's "plan 9 from outer space" ?? i was expecting to see many, many +5 funnies to that effect...
highlander ...2? what's that, you say? I don't recall such a thing...
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!

perhaps he was dictating?

now we have to reassure obelix that no, the sky is not falling, by toutatis! *ducks*
not like it'll hurt him much anyway, he fell into the potion when he was a baby.

yeah... even better are it's very nice user defined message filters. Huzzah, no more annoying forwards from my aunt!
Damn straight. Give me an article published in a peer-reviewed journal... preferably several... and we'll talk. patents mean nothing.

i surf at -1 while moderating, and dive deeper when intrigued. but +3 keeps the idiot factor down for normal browsing.

here's hoping they get this judge.
and remember, you could put an eye out!
"shit piss fuck cunt cocksucker motherfucker tits" would be more appropriate
remember George Carlin went through this shit in the 60's...
