  1. Already been done... on Visual Effects Oscar Shortlist · · Score: 1

    They did mess up the lighting at least once -- in the final scene at the top of Minas Tirith -- the hobbits looked like they had been added to the scene using ColorForms technology.

  2. Re:Take a look at the colours... on KDE 3.2 'Rudi' Beta Released · · Score: 1

    Looks good to me... Ray Charles.

  3. Parker T-1 for me on When Word Processors Are Out: What's The Best Pen? · · Score: 1
    This was a pen that Parker sold for only a short time (in the early 70s, I think). They were made almost entirely out of titanium, including the nib, with some other sort of metal (rhodium?) at the tip. Very light, but comfortable, and writes more smoothly than any of my other pens.

    Only drawback is that the tips could break off (poor welding job, I suspect) and that you can't find replacement nibs anywhere. I've got bits and pieces of three separate pens to use as spare parts...

    Other pens of choice are the Parker 75, Rotring, and a plastic barreled Lamy Safari. Agree on getting the ink at Fahrney's -- Fountain Pen Hospital is another possibility for supplies (plus having a nice calendar they send you if you order).

  4. Re:That explains the Shrub... on Recall of Segway Announced by CPSC · · Score: 1
    The problem with ideologues is that they never seriously consider the question, "What happens if we are wrong?"

    You're wrong...

  5. Already been done... on Interoperable Remote Controls · · Score: 1

    Nothing that you can't already do using a properly designed Clapper network...
