I thought the same thing, when I first saw that in LOTR.
Actually I thought something more along the lines of "OMG, how did the put poochy the dog in LOTR?!?"
Then I thought about it, and I realized that the shield bit would be perfect for an elf that is well balanced and in the middle of battle, and with a need to get from one floor the next.
But this lava surfing.... With Lucas' record as of late, I'm sure it will be very "to the XTREME"
Pesronally, I've been having a lot of fun with my xbox.
I'm still really new to linux, and can't wait to move to linux. But there are still a few things holding me back.
So to get my feet wet with Linux and also to have fun, I installed Ed's Xebian on my xbox. I can boot up the xbox and play all of my normal xbox games. Then if I want to watch a video, I just boot up linux (which is now in the main xbox menu), run mplayer, and off I go.
Although I have had problems playing back certain videos. If the screen get's really complex, like if it's raining, and the video was compressed using dvix, or xvid, it can get pretty chunky.
It's not really a problem, but it happens every once and a while.
The only thing I've lost with running linux on the xbox is that I can no longer use xbox live.
This guy is kind of a Canadian cult hero. I didn't realize it until a co-worker pointed out that he is also the creator of "fire paste".
I knew about the moron who created the bear suit, and also created fire paste. I didn't realize it was the same moron.
Anyway, he created this paste which can handle high tempuratures. He has even coated his head with it and then had someone put a torch to it. To demonstrate how effective and safe his product is.
He also claims that his product could have saved the Columbia shuttle had they used fire paste to patch up the whole.
I've even seen him on the Canadian discovery channel (The show was: Daily Planet), where he was deomonstrating how amaizing his fire paste is. Where he even ate some saying how perfectly safe the product was. Afterwards, they took his stuff to the University of Toronto where they could analyze it. Which they found out that it contained large amounts of poisonous substances.
An interesting note. On the show he let people in on one of his secret ingredients, which was diet coke. It turns out that helps create a bunch of tiny bubbles in the paste when it hardens, helping it to be a good insulator.
This guys is an all around dolt, but for some reason he's insanely funny.
But you have to go back to the article. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and there will be something called a "hyper link". It will look like normal text and it's labeled "next" except it's a different colour. This "hyper link" will take you to the rest of the article....
Sorry for being a troll, but it took me 5 seconds to figure it out. And it shouldn't have taken you much longer.
Well anyway, what the shoe does is adjust a metal bar or some type of spring in the heel, thus changing the rate of cushioning in the heel. So while you are running the cushion is not to hard so that you don't feel it in the knee. Also it's not to soft, where the shoe bottoms out and you hit the ground to hard, and once again feel it in the knee. So this shoe is trying to take any stress off of the knee.
What makes this shoe even cooler is that, most people will notice that as their running shoes get older the cushion gets flatter, and there shoe doens't have the same spring it used to. Well this shoe could adjust for that, so it always has the same springyness. Also depending on the environment (heat, moisture, etc...), your shoes can change also. Which this would adjust for.
I think it's one of the smartest uses of technology I've seen in a while.
Also in Grand Prix racing (formula 1), before WW2 the German Government was funding the German Auto Union. Where Ferdinand Porche was designing the grand prix cars.
This really pissed off the other car manufacturer's who then proceeded to get an ass kicking at almost every single race.
Before the war started, at the race in Nurgburing Germany (I hope I spelt that right), the Nazi regime was out in full force with Bomber's doing a fly by before the race, and Swastikas painted on the German Auto Union cars (Imagine a Swastika on a Porsche). The event was a celebration of Nazi strength. The race was more of technicality that they had to get through, then an actual race. The German's were so sure of a win, that they already had a speech prepared to congratulate the German team.
Well this was one of those times where a driver for Ferarri (at that time Enzo Ferrari ran Alfa Romeo's racing team) pulled horse shoes out of his ass and claimed a miracle victory against opponents driving far better race cars then theirs.
We didn't build the CN tower with no reason what so ever. It's main purpose is a microwave tower. They needed a tall ass building to see over all the other tall ass buildings. Also it is used somewhat in the study of weather, and more specifically the study of lightning. Plus it is also a nice little tourist attraction with a nice resturaunt. Also the bottom floor in the sphere area of the tower has a plexi glass floor, so it's good for when you're tripping out.
This seems to be a reacuring problem with Nasa and their gyros. This is the 2nd one for the ISS, and hasn't this been a proble with the hubble also?
I'm sure a part that needs to constanty spin 24 hours a day, 7 days a week is not easy to make reliable. Also I believe that they have a specific life span don't they?
But with these failing gyros. Does anybody want to bet on Gravity Probe B's perfect sphere gyros failing?
Well you would have to hit on the girl, and then when you get rejected you would have to go back in time an hour, and find yourself to tell yourself not to hit on this girl. Then convince yourself that yourself is much more well suited to do the talking, and not yourself.
So then you can hit on the girl yourself, while your previous self hides somewhere. Thus she would never run into you twice.
Hmm.... But then, if your previous self never got rejected and never went back in time, then how would you exist? Wouldn't you get like...
Erased from existance?
So then wouldn't you have to go back in time and tell your previous self and give him the low down on this lady of the night, instead of you talking to this girl twice? Then you can return back to your normal time......
bah.
I started writing this thinking I had a grip on this, but now I'm just confused. Damn you/.
For the last couple of years the simpsons have been following a downward motion.
But I've been a pretty big fan of this past season. The episode this season with Homer taking over Ziff Corp. was amaizing. Anytime you can sneak in a theremin joke, or a USA loves Saddam Hussein joke, you know you are dealing with gold.
For me, I left Toronto to go home. Luckily I work on the west end of Toronto so the drive home was not much of an inconvience. Although any stop light that I came by was pure hell. Over the radio the annoucers kept on repeating "When you come to a stop light that is out, it's a 4 way stop". Most people must have left the radio off because half of the people were driving and the other half just drove through.
At one point in time I came up to a stop light and stopped and waited for an old Lady to cross the street. The next lane over a full size Chevy pickup flied by and almost clipped her.
When I get home, I dumped some batteries into the radio, and fired up the BBQ. Then I ran over to my friends house and described a problem that I had.
I had a fridge full of beer (proper Polish tradition) and it was slowly getting warm. I explained that he had to come over and help me drink them all. So he came over and we sat outside listening to the Radio and drinking beer.
As a 20 something, I've noticed that lately I've watched very little TV. I also hope that it's costing networks money. Have you seen the crap they are green lighting lately? In my opinon they deserve to loose viewers.
I would much rather play Enemy Territory then watch some poor asian geek sing Ricky Martin!
"Biological signals arise when reading or speaking to oneself with or without actual lip or facial movement."
Notice the part that says "without actual lip or facial movement"? So we have, "talking to yourself", and "no lip or facial movement". That sounds a lot like "thinking to yourself" to me.
I'm going to have to disagree with you. Most bully attacks are not traceless. They usually let you know who's beating your face in for lunch money.
So, a bully could easily just start grounding out sensors/potentiometers, or introduce a different voltage, so then the ecu would read the sensors at fluctuating positions, and start to make large corrections.
Now if the ECU doesn't have any protection from something like this. Little Billy the cripple starts to hit himself in the face.
One thing that is fun to do is, is to make Panzers into martyrs. When that guy pops out from around the corner with panzer in hand, and you know you are smoked. I like to jump at the guy just to make sure that he kills himself too.
I've been in knife fights but they've always been spur of the moment stuff.
Stuff like on rail gun, when you have the axis backed into there spawn, and you run out of ammo. So you start chasing guys down with your blade.
But, yes. Panzers can be annoying, but getting around the panzers just makes it one more thing to accomplish. Plus with some real good team effort, taking out panzers isn't all that hard.
I first started to play it, and found that it was to diverse. There are TOO many things that you can do in it. So then I had to try everything, and what started as a couple hours of playing has turned into a 6 month obsession.
Every night I can't wait to get home from work, and load up my riffle nade and shoot some nazis. It's become pathetic. I dream about Enemy Territory, I get words like "Danke" and "Aufiedersien" stuck in my head. I continually chant "We've captured the old city, DYNAMITE the old city wall! They've captured the old city! We've captured the old city, DYNAMITE the old city wall! They've captured the old city!"
At work I try to needle nose my monitor, but that doesn't get my work done!
If you like having any social life at all. Stay away from ET, it's 100% addictive. It's worse then smoking.
Not many people will go to see this tower. $40 million dollars is way to much to fix it, and that doesn't even count in maintenance.
If any thing is to big to preserve, and if it's not really worth it to preserve in the first place, then cut it up! Sell it to the geeks that want a piece of it. Make some money so they can fund new projects.
I also wish NASA would do this with that funky material that is made up of 99.9% nothing. I'd like to get my hands on some of that stuff.

In the sense that Linux is the result of an open source project, and linux != open source.
Because if that was true, then mozilla = linux.
So it's the same thing as a Ford rep saying "Cars are not Corvettes". Because then, A Ford Focus would be a Corvette.
And no matter how much you pray at night, your Ford Focus won't turn into a corvette.
