It blows now, but I could never stand Morgan (get her some food for God's sake!) and that balding dork, but whenever I turn the channel on, that's all I see.
No thanks, and Leo rocked!
I have a friend who is a noted aerospace writer, he is in the pool for the journalist seat. It would be nice, he is headed out for both launches.
Best of luck to all!
I wish that GPS would be able to penetrate about 150 or so feet of water. Underwater navigation is tough enough (visability, lack of landmarks). Being able to set the coords of the boat before diving would be nice.
Love to Geocache, I have 3.5 year old caches out there in the desert.
The standard price is 100 baht for each CD of software. For a DVD, it ranges in price depending on if it is a just a copy of someone's film screening, or if it is a high quality 2 sided DVD 9 copy. Those usually go for 250 or so. Music CDs are cheaper. Last time I was at Pantip, product was not displayed in the open, you had to enter the kiosks and leaf through printouts of what they had, and order and come back 20 minutes or so later. Much better alternative is about a 10 minute walk down the same street to the nearly abandoned Hollywood center where you can buy and fly in a few minutes.
I was in Phuket in Nov, and there was no software to be found, and the only decent DVD shop was inside a art gallery, hidden behind a large painting! (and the DVD's I bought from them didn't work!) I hate being ripped off by thiefs!
You can buy any version of XP or any other software from MS for 100 baht per CD ($2.50). The piracy there is amazing, 5 floor building and its all pirated, any piece of software you need.
I can never find what I want at Hollywood or Ballbuster, so I go to my library for DVD's. They have about 1000 titles, free for one week. I like classics, foreign and indie films, but honestly, I hate going to Blockbuster in search of an indie film that they have one copy of, and seeing 320 copies of the latest Rob Schneider, Julia Robberts or Will Smith dreckfest available, plus having a person behind the counter that thinks Truffant means some flick called "True Foe" and tries to look that up.
I brought in "Transformed Man" to work today to torment the folks I dislike, however I haven't the intestinal fortitude to play it, as I may have to listen to it.
At my old job, the creative services folk had a tape (they duped me a copy) of Shat's defining moment in bad perfomance, the rarely seen (thank god) "Rocket Man" performance at a Science Fiction Awards show (introduced by Bernie Taupin and Karen Black!). As Leonard Pinth Garnell would say "Really bad, bad art"
We would watch the tape every few months whenever we needed a surreal lift, and then watch the brilliant satire of Shat's Rocket Man performed by Chris Elliot on Letterman ("zero hour, oh, I don't know, must have been around 9 am or so..")
If you haven't heard "Transformed Man" go grab a ball of foil and chew on it till it hits your fillings, its a much less painful thing to do...
I still have my Mattel Footbal, and the wonderful Football II, as well as the Baseball game and a real lame Starwars rip off. They all work, they bleep and bloop, and are moderately entertaining...but 25 years ago, they were cool!
Set it free, if it loves you, then it will return...
I drive on rubberized asphalt every day, its great

Making Quieter Highways
·
· Score: 2, Informative
I drive on a mile stretch of it that was put down in a test on my way to work here in Phoenix, and there is a 12 mile stretch on another highway here. Its quiet, safe, and no problems with braking or anything else.
Its quite a pleasure to drive on
I was there last night, and as I walked out, I noticed two huge goons with walkie talkies standing flat against the corner around where shoppers exit, no sooner had I passed them they sprang into action and immediately stopped a woman and had her in cuffs in seconds. They did a pretty good job, but they were acting like the powermad monkeyboys that they were, warning people to go about their business and there was nothing to see, etc...
I have to laugh, University of Arizona is in Tucson, a town that has a huge inferiority complex towards Phoenix.
I expect outrage, and I plan to employ my evil laugh!
Cool, but I am in the market for a digital which I can buy a good underwater case for. My ancient Kodak 2 megapixel won't work much because of a glitch that keeps the batteries from connecting right. About a 10 cent piece of equipment that would probably cost $150 to repair...damn
I use NiMH and they are wonderful. I have a portable shortwave radio that does everything but grate cheese and since the ac adapter port is not very functional, I rely on rechargable batteries all the time. I use the radio all day long at work to stave off humdrum, and I usually get about 3 + days of use for 4 AA batteries. Recharge takes a few hours and I have plenty of spare batteries.
Beats the hell outta paying $3.50 once a week for new batteries that get thrown away.
Nauru is a mess, a small island that once boasted the highest GDP in the world. Why? Centuries of accumulated bird crap that was sold as phosphate, with all citizens getting a cut.
And no one worked, millions were stolen, the government blew billions of dollars on bad investments, corruption, etc. Last I heard, the data and phone lines are cut off, and its general anarchy because there ain't much phosphate left, and its an ugly scabby little island.
I knew a guy that used to be a pilot on their airline (which was mostly free for citizens), quite a surreal place.

I swear, no one can spell lose on the internet. What a looser! (sic)
Between 1 to 10 people per launch would die? Just tell the public that the Baldwins would be the ones dieing and it sells itself.
Oh well, back to 8 track.
I believe that for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows... Elvis SAID SO! Do you Dare mock THE KING? :-)

Pantip Plaza and Hollywood City are also great places for bootlegs. Pantip is 5 stories of hardware and bootleg. No one in Thailand is gonna buy this.

Give him time, he will find a face, some masonic connection, and a new way to raise money....

More than sad, I still own stock from long ago in this trainwreck. At least I can write some of it off hopefully....

I'll be selling the ads on DVD on the corner of Broadway and 34th tommorow morning. Ask for Vito....
