LOL, At least that film has one of the best film scores ever composed by the legendary, late Jerry Goldsmith to break up the tedium of all the F/X shots. Added to that, the film is the only one to justly deserve the 'Motion Picture' subtitle -- the other (currently) nine other films in the series play out like 2-hour episodes from their respective TV series of varying quality I.E.

I heard/read somewhere that someone said that 'everything south of the opening credits' is part of a Rekall trip. I think that opinion is viable because of how the film opens with Quaid and Melina strolling about on the Martian surface before Quaid has his accident and wakes up next to Lori in the following scene. Perhaps if the movie opened differently, this viewpoint wouldn't be viable. Any comments?
By the way, the movie is bloody, violent, and well made. described at the time of it's release by one person as 'a head film for action freaks'. It looks like the days of visceral analog filmaking like this are over in favor of the 'new brutalism' of scene after scene after scene of bland, lifeless CGI-enhanced filmmaking.
Liquid metal computer component cooling was discussed here not to long ago. Sorry, I don't have the relavant Slashdot URL handy. I read the previous article just for the Terminator 2 jokes (pertaining liquid metal Terminator T-1000).
I guess all 'professional' websites are hosted by pros on the best equipment possible that is backed by UPSes so 'they never go down' except for routine maintennance or something catastrophic and unforseen like -- unfortunately -- 2001-09-11. Hence, it seems, the overall perception of the Internet when a 'page not found' error occurs is one of the following:
1) The site is down temporarily 2) The site is gone for good 3) The site is brand new and its DNS name hasn't fully propagated through 'all' the DNS servers on the internet yet. Using the actual IP address of the site in question should get you to it.
It seems there is a variation on 'page not found' where the domain exists but redirects you somewhere else. I tried it with the (in)famous URL http://www.cyberpromo.com/ and was sent to a 'buymenow' page for it at another domain.
Scanning known proxy ports at incoming IPs and using them to access the Internet (or back to Slashdot.org) is proof that the incoming IP address is some sort of proxy. Probably Slashdot 'gave up' and have a strict 'No Proxies' policy to post here. If so, that keeps the crapflooding 'jerks' like the GNAA and the like out.
If you don't like the port scanning or can't stand to wait to post, don't post to Slashdot.

True, the ghost monster movement is 'random' but there are still 2 (3 sorta) ways to beat this game.
1) Keep away from the ghosts until they 'reverse direction' twice. After that they will continue to move in the same direction until either the end of the board or Ms. PAC-MAN 'dies'.
This is 'similar' to the Galaga 'shooting gallery' trick to turn that game into a giant bonus round. On a related note, years and years and years ago I personally saw someone make a GALAGA game stop working on 'board 0' ('256'). He accumulated 3,180,180 points in the process while the enemy ships shot at his spaceship! The best I can do in a legit GALAGA game is around 100,000. Using the 'shooting gallery' trick, I can get a million points easily unless I am totally 'out of it'.
2) After performing 1), just lead the monsters about and duck into the assorted 'safe spots' in the various mazes--the monsters are programmed to 'avoid you' if done properly.
3) As an alternative to 1) and 2), find a Ms. PAC-MAN game that has been 'modded' so she travels much faster than the ghosts. This is extremely helpful to play the game at the advanced levels where you can barely stay out in front of the ghosts. However, playing this version of the game is a bit boring as you are pretty much 'invincible' through 'super speed'.
In closing, I really liked a number of BALLY/MIDWAY video games but stopped playing them due to them being 'pattern driven' and switched over to STREET FIGHTER by CAPCOM. I do remember spending lots of money on BURGERTIME before I figured out the patterns for that game. Getting to a million points by board 7-8 was rather easy. Once, I played to the extreme levels of play and found that the game became basically impossible to play--the eggs, hot dogs, and pickles moved MUCH, MUCH faster than I did in the game!

He did it to prove that it could be done without 'running patterns' (which I used to do to kill time when playing PAC-MAN). By doing this, his accomplishment is surely uncontestable!
By the way, I know that at the extreme levels of play, the ghost monsters will only reverse direction when an energizer dot is eaten. Does Mitchell's score include eating all 4 ghost monsters at this extreme level of play--that seems impossible. Is it possible?
On a related note, I 'beat' TAPPER in a similar fashion to find out, 8.5 hours later, that the game starts all the way over as if you put a coin in the slot and started playing the game after 256 'boards'.
I guess back then, the programmers figured nobody would play that many levels in a videogame and used a single byte as the level counter.
