I recommend Trey/Matt fans check out Cannibal! The Musical. If you liked the musical numbers in South Park, you'll love this one. Some great squibs, also. Trey's horrible acting and 80's hair (even though the movie was made in the 90's) are hilarious. Don't let a slow start fool you. Listen to the drunken commentary track, too.
I've read all the attacks on the film...none of them point to any factual errors. What the F911-detractors don't like is that Moore presents certain facts to make a point. "We invaded Afghanistan" and "Afghanistan's natural gas pipeline was built very quickly." Moore puts these facts in proximity to imply we invaded partly for oil. You can't deny the facts, but the implication is debatable.
F911 is 100% documentary. If you deny that, you don't know what a documentary is, and you probably haven't seen many. "Hoop Dreams", "Fog of War", and "Mr. Death" are all documentaries with a point of view, albeit a benign and non-controvbersial one.
I've noticed the Googlebar has be allowing some popups through lately. I wonder what the new technique is. In my own experiments, I've found I could launch unwanted popups with an onMouseOver() method in the [body] tag. That tricked Mozilla and the Google bar.
Will the political campaigns be that mischievous? Republicans might, because apparently they don't understand the internet. Democrats won't be so dumb. The primaries were an excellent crash course in internet fund raising, and they are way ahead of the game.
Anyone know of any good linear algebra books online? I'd like something that actually tells you WHY you'd want to do certain things. I watched some MIT courses online awhile ago, and they were good.
Don't get me wrong...The Gimp is great and I was impressed with all it's features. There are some very nice filters. But whenever I need to quickly do something (like get a screenshot of a webpage and quickly figure out what colors are what) I keep falling back on Paint Shop Pro. I was never able to do things quickly in the Gimp.
The average joe can't even figure out that he shouldn't open email attachments from people he doesn't know (Exhibit A: MyDoom). You really think he knows what the fuck a buffer overflow is? "No buffer overflow? But what if I *want* overflow! More is better!" I applaud this security feature, but don't think of it as a selling point for typical users.
Sorry if the subject sounds like a flame, but it's true. Bush got into Harvard and Yale through connections. He was exposed to people infinitely smarter than him, and this seems to have vastly shaken his self confidence. This happens to a lot of us, but we grow out of it. Bush hasn't. All professors or researchers are now 'elites.' Science is subjective. All that matters is faith.
...are we going to put up with these stupid "A guy is selling [insert wildly big/expensive/old/intangable item here] on eBay!" Last week, it was Jenny's phone number. Now it's a jet fighter. Let's get over this already.
This wasn't the most popular SNK game....but damn, did it kick ass. The level of detail was amazing for a shooter. The only point of the game was to blow shit up, a point driven home by the fact that it was trivial to respawn infinitely. The explosions often bordered on self-parody. Half the time, the NES would slow down as it strained to render them.
I've seen several cases where the author has posted a review for his book to defend it and used his own name. Why do some authors think they have to log in anonymously? Personally, I don't think Amazon should allow anonymous reviewers. Or at least they shouldn't count when the average is calculated.
This article is about as ill-informed as that BBC article that was posted last week. From the article:
MyDoom's ultimate target was an obscure software company named SCO. Champions of the open Net have portrayed SCO as the Antichrist since it sued to establish part-ownership of a popular and free computer operating system called Linux. Linux has become an icon of the so-called open-source movement, which is seeking to limit the influence of companies like SCO and the industry giant, Microsoft, which closely guard their software.
I wasn't talking about the article. I was simply talking about the parent poster who was talking about browsers in general.
And by the way, most of my day is spent writing DOMINO apps that need to work in IE and Netscape and Opera and Mozilla, so don't get me started on this issues of getting a database to interface with multiple clients.
Any HTML app that requires IE might as well have a big banner that says "THIS PRODUCT WAS DEVELOPED BY AMATEURS!". It's user hostile. AND Mozilla is a better browser. You can actually do more with Mozilla than IE, since Mozilla has better standards support.
3) New releases can be had the day of release at Blockbuster. With Netflix, you're lucky to get it a week later. Not a big deal for the patient, but some people want it ASAP.
I've had great shipping times with Netflix. I usually get them the next day after they ship it. When I rented "Chicago", I got it in the mail the day it was released. Not the day after....the DAY it was released.
Now, I AM in the Washington DC metro area and the return address on the sleeves indicate there is a distribution center near me. I concede that people who don't live near big cities may not have the same level of service I have.
Nah, it will just force more people to use Netflix. At $20 a month, you can easily end up paying less than $0.75 per disc if you circulate fast enough. No late fees, no trips to the video store, excellent selection.....someone remind me why Blockbust is still in business.
I try to convince other people of this. Firebird conatains a popup blocker, supports tabbed browsing, is more secure, and has a gestures plugin.
I got my mom and brother using Firebird on their new computer over Christmas break. Their old computer was so buggy and virus ridden that when I said, "DON'T use IE unless you want this to happen again", they listened. It was a small victory, but you gotta start somewhere.

A site with pedophilia is committing an illegal act.
There are web sites that can have sex with children? Whoa. Does it work with adults, too?

What? You mean most people don't know what dwbzlsptlzdbkCount is?
I seem to remember Andre LaMothe being associated with this project. Is he still there? The dude has put together some great game programming books.
Bush hating and non-sensical? I don't hate anyone. And go read the latest Newsweek for insight into Bush's college years.
Sorry if the subject sounds like a flame, but it's true. Bush got into Harvard and Yale through connections.

The what sign? Looks like you both got your arrows stripped out.

I didn't know Jackson Pollack designed the internet.

Some 'tards still don't get it.
Just go to any mall. You're sure to find one.
