If you don't mind, I'd like to change your folder structure a little:
"Sounds Cool" subfolder "Probably Useless" subfolder "The guy who created this has made a few dollars for himself at the expense of some morons who buy anything new and shiny without really thinking about a real use for said shiny object"

You wouldn't happen to be referring to the Doom Movie would you? You may as well be..... sigh.
Some of those photos look like the image I got of the passages down below the City of Lud...when Jake got kidnapped by the Tick-Tock man.... King describes the place as being lined very high with old computers and monitors....
A couple of those shots also kinda' remind me of Doom..... really dark rooms with lit up Tech-walls. But that's just me.
>>Just for the record, I do not want to live inside somebody else's self-expression.
Amen. I don't think I've ever seen/heard it said better than that.
>>On a similar note: if I ever catch someone vandalizing my house I'll happily spray all the paint he carries over his clothes, his body and his vehicle, as an act of self-expression on my part.
I hear you.
Keep in mind though that while he'd get a summons for the graffiti, you'd likely get arrested for assault. And if the paint hurt him (eyes) he'd probably be owning your building after suing you.
I'm not one to talk, because I once whacked a guy for not noticing and walking into my daughter(he was chatting on his mobile)... but still, one has to keep in mind the consequences of their actions.
No less and no more than say, glossy magazines are.
I don't think that the medium defines whether or not it is journalism (or art or whatever)... it's the content, and the creator's intent, and ultimately the interpretation of that content that defines this.
>>By comparison: Even though there are millions of psychics/clairvoyants and other people who claim to be able to predict the future worldwide, not one predicted the tsunami! Remarkable?
I am certain that the responsible 'authorities' are reverse engineering the Bible Code(tm) and Nostradamus' Quatrains as we discuss this.

>>Who says? The sites worked fine in IE6; that's what we got paid for. If they don't work in IE7, we can be paid again to fix them.
Parent should be modded insightful. He's right.
Personally, I am looking forward to regression testing my (web delivered) application against ie7. Not.

Yeah, I would have added them to my list too but I just bought a d70 a week back....

Or compiling a huge Java or C++ codebase.......

>>Since when (and I'm not trolling here) are Mac users "common users?"
I take this as meaning that the work can now be done by non professionals on consmer grade hardware.
Face it, the Mac, for all it's coolness and goodness is a consumer grade platform. Despite the fact that it is used by the pros.

>>Heh? City on the Edge of Forever was probably the best episode of all out of any of the Star Trek series, and it was a time travel story.
Even better than that: City on the Edge of Forever was a love story.

>>Joe Straczynski (who did Babylon 5) said he pitched an idea for a Trek series to Paramont.
JMS pitched a space station show for Trek back in the early 90's. It's true.... I'm just too lazy to google for a link right now.
