    You can get the DivX version from Ami Demos.

  2. A funny Trekkie comment... on Inside Symantec's 'Security Center' · · Score: 2

    Someone asked me this and I laughed, "My question is, do they have a captain's chair where a Symantec security officer can casually command the launching of electronic countermeasures?" :)

    Me too. I don't have one. :/

  4. Re:Apple surfs Slashdot! on All-New PowerBooks, Web Browser Featured at Macworld · · Score: 2

    I thought it was funny to see Safari scroll down and show the low rated replies. I didn't see any first posts or anything bad though. :)

  5. RE: OT -- grep... on Linux Kernel Code Humor · · Score: 2

    That doesn't work well because I get too many hits like:

    Thanks and it worked. I didn't see the spaces due to the bad tiny fonts in Mozilla. :)

    [linux-2.4.20]$ grep -r "[Aa][Nn][Tt]" *

    Does anyone know how to do grep for "ant" (exact word by itself)? :)

  9. A trick to speed up Mozilla v1.2.1 and previous... on Review of Mozilla's 2002 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Paint Timeout is too high in the current stable versions. This is why Phoenix works so fast in rendering. Hopefully, the next stable version will have this fix. Here's the copy of Mozilla thread in newsgroup:

  10. Re:Why I haven't purchased a PVR on Video Storage And Hard Drive Manufacturers · · Score: 2

    Exactly. This is why I didn't get a PVR. I will wait until it is cheaper and there is no required subscription (the lifetime one is still expensive).

  11. Today... on How Are You Spending Your Christmas Vacation? · · Score: 2

    I went to hang out with relatives and then went to see LOTR:TTT movie at a good movie theater. It was an OK movie. I liked the first one better.

  15. Noticeably misframed shots in the WS edition... on DVD Review: Back to the Future Trilogy (Widescreen) · · Score: 5, Informative

    From this story:

    "Back to the Future redux - 12:43am

    Thinking about picking up that Back to the Future trilogy box set this week for a stocking stuffer? You may want to hold off on that. Amid numerous consumer complaints over noticeably misframed shots in the widescreen edition of Parts II and III of the trilogy, Universal Studios Home Video announced yesterday that they will be repressing the discs with corrected framing, and these repressed versions will be included in all future runs of the box set.

    While the shots - some of which ruin crucial jokes and visual gags - may be relatively minor to some, what to do if you've already picked up the set and want the corrected versions? A Universal spokesperson has told us that consumers unhappy with the current version (widescreen only - the full frame edition is not affected) can call the Universal Studios Home Video Consumer Hotline at (888) 703-0010 to request an exchange. While repressed versions of discs 2 and 3 (disc 1 remains unaffected) won't be available until February, Universal will provide corrected versions to those who have already purchased the set. Consumers will need to send the discs back to Universal at their own expense. Stay tuned for any further updates as the story develops..."

    Link: "It's funny that our news piece a few days ago said "We're still here" when some game magazines think we're be dead. That's what it appears we are to Computer Gaming World. They have a monthly section in their magazine called "Pipeline" where they talk about their "educated guesses" on game release dates. As everyone knows (or should know) by now, the release date for Duke Nukem Forever is "When it's done".

    Last month we were labeled "Never", and now we're labeled "RIP" by the article's author Rich Laporte. Be curious to see what Rich has to say when DNF is released (When it's done, of course). [Wink]"

Yet, it is currently showing Star Trek: Nemesis. The theatre did show last two Star Wars movies. This theater is a perfect place for LOTR movies and big revenues. This calendar of events does not show this movie listed. :(
