I loved Primer but I also really liked The Butterfly Effect. Maybe you saw the the dumbed-down, happy-ending version where many of the sub-plots that actually made the movie, well smart and great, were removed? For example, him finding out that his mother had had two miscarriages before him.. couple that with the ending and you have a waaay better movie than the americ^Z^Z cinematic, "pro-life" version.
A list of changes (note that the "Alternate ending" is the major plus): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0289879/alternateversions
Some may deride Apple for the design of the Mac Pro case, but if you open it, you will immediately notice that they REALLY spent some time designing the layout of the interior parts. Heck even the the old Sawtooth generation G3/G4 towers (circa 1999) had that nifty side-handle design where the motherboard sat on a hinged door.
..the sitting minister of justice want to give the police more slack when it comes to wiretapping "when there is suspicion of crime".
He will probably be out of a job on monday though since the election on sunday will probably shift the entire goverment to a new rule (to the Alliance - four collaborating parties where the Moderates are the biggest party).
1. My school ran a Novell network where the login program was a simple dos-program (login.exe) that prompted you for username and password. I made a trojan and swapped the exe-file (I think I used Pascal) for a program that wrote down the username and password to file. This file you could pipe to the original login.exe and voilá: the user wouldnt know that his password had been sniffed:) This had been done before but without actually login them in so it was much uglier. But, I didnt stop at this.
Instead of going around to every computer collecting all passwords (which had also been done before by some other guy) I used the command-line mail program to mail the username/password to me everytime some logged in (very stupid, I actually used my OWN mail account, not a hacked one, luckily I didnt get caught). So everytime I logged in I would get "You have 354 new messages!" *chuckle*.
So the next step was of course to write a program that would sort this information into one master file, replacing old entries and so on.. in a couple of days I had a full register of all users passwords in the whole school, including all teachers (and comp admins):)
2. I logged in to the schools web server using telnet just looking around. I used my own login name and password. The next day I was picked up in class and taken to a room, and I swear there was this interrogation-table-lamp there and all:) and got some vague threat about the police and stuff.. I hadnt done anything wrong, but they just wanted to know if it really was me who logged in using my acount and if I would know how to change the "settings" so that I wouldnt be able to login any more:-D
The only problem was with the fourth one - they hired the right guy to write it (Joss Whedon), but forgot to tell the idiot director that it was *NOT* supposed to be a b-movie. (Or maybe the did tell him, and he didn't understand them - English isn't his first language.)
Well the idiot director later (2 years?) came back with the exceptional Amelie from Montemarte so he isnt all bad. Still, Alien 4 is the worst of the movies, at least before Alien vs Predator (which Im going to see tonight).

Ok all I know is that when I tried out Freenet (admittedly some time ago but I DID actually install it and configure it) and downloaded some stuff you had to _know_ or _guess_ a tag corresponding to the data you were after. If this has changed in recent releases, I apologise for my alledged karmawhoreing.
Considering the un-userfriendly state Freenet is right now (not being able to "search the [free]net") it would have been a huge accomplishment to completely base a P2P software on it. So my guess is that Winny more or less just mention Freenet for recognition purposes.

A guy with diabetes gets run over (killed) by a truck carrying sugar - poetic coincidence.
A guy with diabetes gets run over (killed) by a truck carrying insulin - irony.

Its moon will be named Dysnomia, after the goddess of lawlessness.
...and Xena Warrior Princess was played by Lucy Lawless... we're definately on to something here.
And yet here you are, a one year old (give or take), posting interesting stuff on slashdot. Geesh kids grow up fast nowadays.
No it was just a simple white-on-white prompt that said "login:". Very simple.
Two things I did in high school:
:) This had been done before but without actually login them in so it was much uglier. But, I didnt stop at this.

Doesnt turning off the "auto-update" feature fix this?
Anyone else imagined trying to get it up while balancing on a 300 foot pole in -50C ? No.. ok ill be going back to work then.

Will cd-r manufacturers be able to keep up?
In the swedish language it is not uncommon to use "her" when talking about a human. Think "mother earth".
..among other things (skip to the experimental results section): here.
..we will all have a particle accelerator hooked up to eth0?
I would keep it alive and extract the very valuable badger milk. Just be certain of the badger's sex before milking.
As in the the finnish group HIM's hit song "Join me (in death)"?

I want the 25-hour one.
Maybe this technology should be incorporated in browsers too to avoid certain pictures. Hell, why just browsers - throw it into every OS with a gui.
Ohh.. we want to spare our precious karma now do we.. "AC".
Ok I will! (Man I love people being this "helpful" with absolutely no hint of sarcasm/bitterness at all.)
