Some of that data is a few years old because some sequences, such as the Balrog from the Mines of Moria, appeared in more than one film.
Finding and moving the data for that sequence out of storage so it could be reworked for the second film took about three days.
Come on, three days to find some not-so-old files, from basically the same project? That's some fucked-up filing system they must have.

Indeed. Sound hitting the air? Uhuh, that makes as much sense as waves hitting the sea.
Probably just some interference effect they use.
OTOH, I've heard of the same effect being tested for creating extremely low (10Hz) frequency sounds, for crowdcontrol: Apparently, low frequencies make you feel too ill to fight.
What struck me was that from the moment is Sam pulled in through the window by Gandalf ("Don't turn me into something unnatural!"), he has his googly eyes all over Frodo. Then, the minute the ring is destroyed, he says something like "Hey, I would have liked to marry that Rosie chick."
I think Gandalf used the ring to turn Sam gay, to ensure his loyalty to Frodo.
It amazes me that so many allegedly "educated" people have fallen so quickly and so hard for a fraudulent fabrication of such laughable proportions. The very idea that a solid material happens to be so light, showing remarkable properties like near-perfect insulation, is ludicrous. Furthermore, it is an insult to common sense and a damnable affront to intellectual honesty and integrity. That people actually believe it is evidence that the liberals have wrested the last vestiges of control of our public school system from decent, God-fearing Americans.
Diamond is usually made from carbon, same stuff graphite is made from, but in a different configuration. So, in theory, if you rub it against paper, it should leave a mark.
I should have known this before I proposed to my girlfriend.
- Machines do not know how to build tall towers for solar panels. - Lasers only work on short range, and even then only when it doesn't endanger humans. - Being impaled by 4 inch thick spikes allows you to continue talking about what you really wanted to do, but didn't have time for the other day, but really regret, so I'll say it now, because the other day I should have said and done this, but I said something else, and did I mentions I regret not doing that? Oh and Aaarrgh. - Super-duper-hi-tech robotsuits come without ANY armor for the driver. - Super-duper-hi-tech walking robotsuits have to be reloaded by clumsy teenagers with wheelbarrows. - Super-duper-hi-tech squidlike robots forget to attack said clumsy teenagers reloading the walking robotsuits. - Robots dig through 5 miles of bedrock, instead of going in throught a scrummy steel gate held shut by a single chain. - No spare EMP parts are kept in ZION. - The middle of Machine City has an operational interface into the matrix for humans, although no human is ever supposed to be there in the first place. - 5.000.000.000 tons of steel robots hurled at your ship is not a problem, but the sight of a few sentinels, who suddenly lost their lasers, is somehow relevant and terrifying.
I could go on.
Damn, I wanted my money and time back after that movie.
You can go right ahead and call your newest product version the GNAA Goatse Tubgirl, just don't expect people to take you seriously with a name like that. Fair or not, that's what decisionmakers see first.
After seeing Matrix Revolutions, it struck me how similar the story is to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, almost to the point of plagiarism. I'll list the most striking similarities:
- In both movies the enemy threatens to completely eradicate the entire world of free men. - Two lovers (ok maybe not) go straight into to the heart of enemy territory, while their friends are fighting the real battle elsewhere. - Saviour motif. Both feature the protagonist sacrificing themselves to save the world. - Those mountains near Machine City with the thunderstorms around them. Mordor anyone? - Sentinels and orcs are both mindless subhuman cannonfodder, too dumb and incompetent to do any actual harm to any of the protagonists. Both can be killed without any consideration or remorse whatsoever. - The totally superfluous lovestory thrown in. - Both movies advocate the use of child soldiers "if it's really important." - Similar taglines: "This Christmas the journey ends" vs. "Everything that has a beginning has an end" - The personification of the enemy in the form of a big eye. - The protagonist basically fights the enemy with it's own weapons, and is heavily confused about this. - They are both epic trilogies, and are produced at around the same time. This is of course pretty much a given, but it reminds me how a lot of spectacular blockbuster movies have some sort of cheap knock-off twin at the same time: for instance Twister/Night of the Twisters, or Gladiator/The Arena. - Hugo Weaving. "Welcome to Rivendell Mr. Anderson". Or possibly "Hobbits... are a disease". His contempt for men seems similar in both movies.
And, of course, nuclear and coal power plants are not made of concrete, and don't require a foundation to be built, because they're actually built out of floating fairy dust.

Did anyone else have trouble parsing that headline?
I think he knows that.
HTH. HAND.
Yes, let your paying customers do *your* work, so the freeloaders like myself get a better product. bubble, meet burst.
Why yes, my grapes are on the acidic side. Glad you asked.
I like to use the "rod" unit.
Although, 1/20th rod does sound kind of small.
It's more like an English spelling problem, no?
Indeed. A new low.
Oh well, back to downloading pr0n.

Sure, and we've yet to release for Windows XP, because we cannot possibly test it before the third service pack.

You severely overestimate the technical qualities of my boss.
Anyway, if you want to make sure your product works on the newest kernel, you want to start testing BEFORE the stable version comes out, no?
I thought that since some big corporations like IBM and Novell are picking up Linux, things would get a little more professional.
I guess I was wrong.
Come on, who's going to explain to his boss that he's going to try out an operating system called "Stoned Beaver"?
I instantly understood that acronym without looking at your username. How scary is that.

NASA plans to study the ocean's future...
I think I can guess the ocean's future if they use FreeBSD. It must be dying.
Why is this story not in the Apple section? Do only positive stories go there or something?
