Captain N was a Saturday-morning cartoon, and the SMB/Zelda show was an after-school show.
Does anyone else remember the Mother Brain character on Captain N sounding like the Mammy character on the old Tom & Jerry cartoons? Not trying to be racist/insensitive/whatever, but wasn't she all "I don't know nothin' about birthin' no babbies!" in style of speech? Man, haven't thought about that show since 3rd grade or so...
Also, how about that Super Mario Brothers rap? Man, I remember singing/rapping that in unison with all the other kids on the schoolbus....good lord.

That's true, but a reasonably well-designed crypto system (well-tested by smart math guys) isn't easily "puzzled-out", and that's what you'd need to do.
What I mean is, supplying a static message enrypted with a ton of different keys will help you break the entire encryption system, but there's no "easier" way to decode one specific message other than figuring out the whole system. And what are the chances of someone "solving" AES? Once someone figures out P=NP I guess...
I think you're overstating Google's power a tad here. Sure Verizon will lose customers, but in the end it's a lot easier to switch search engines than it is to switch ISPs. Rule #1: Never underestimate the laziness of the average American.
Don't forget, that would mean no Gmail, no Google News, no Froogle. I think no Gmail would be a big deal, I know a TON of non-technical people that use gmail as their main email provider.
This guy really had to study 25,000 kids to determine that people are getting dumber at a worrying rate? All he had to do was turn on MTV for a half hour and watch what they consider entertainment nowadays.
[sarcasm]It's a good thing there's such a strong correlation between drug use and being a bad employee.[/sarcasm].
Management needs to wake the fuck up, I know plenty of PhD's, lawyers, and all manner of highly intelligent people who use drugs on a regular basis, and are all fine, upstanding citizens who go to work on time every day and do a great job.
If you want to see who is a problem employee based on non-work behavior, you're looking in the wrong place.
1. I installed PHPki and used it as a CA, 2. Generated oodles of certificates for our entire staff (SMIME certs, so they work with Outlook 2K and 2K3) 3. Published each of their certificates to the Global Address List 4. Had everyone set the option in Outlook to include their public cert as an attachment to signed/encrypted emails 5. Had everyone install the CA's root cert on their machine
Now they can send eachother signed and encrypted emails, all WITHOUT any kind of Microsoft CA or server. It's important in our environment that the private certs NOT be stored where the email/Exchange admins have access to them, so while it takes a little manual labor, it's FREE and works very very well.
I've been using iTunes and an iPod since 2002, and I've never once bought a song through the iTunes Music Store.
Who cares about Apple DRM when all your songs are encoded in 192kbps plain-old mp3? I'm DRM-free baby! If you do download from iTMS, just get PlayFair and decode those songs, no biggie (assuming it still works, haven't checked in a while).
And I'm glad Apple is locking everyone out of iTunes and iPod. Let MS twist in the wind. Better yet, offer licensing to everyone BUT Microsoft, that would be even better.
Is the screen on the DS that the GBA games play on any bigger/smaller than the single screen on the GBA? Meaning, is there any compromise in playing quality when playing a GBA game on a DS?
Thoughts? I've got a 2 week training semilar I've got to attend in a few weeks and I want to pick up a portable system. I've never owned a portable in my whole life, so I figured at 25 it's time to get one.
GBA looks like it's winning so far with Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy Tactics, Advance Wars 2, Fire Emblem, and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow.
But, the DS also has Castlevania (forget the name) and Advance Wars 2, but I don't see any Final Fantasy on there.
So, keeping in the realm of good travel games (as thisis mainly for this trip I'm going on), what's better, a GBA or a DS?
The movie can still be the "end" of the series, and they can still make more episodes!
If Firefly were to come back for more episodes, they could just pick up where the normal episodes left off, with Walsh and Book alive. Just say the events in the movie take place years in the future. It's not the end of the world even if they do fuck with the timeline; think about how popular Highlander is/was with the sci-fi crowd, and it's timeline is ALL fucked up.
You have this thing called a Protection Profile (PP). It defines the kind of environment the computer/OS will be operating in: Is it networked? What kind of hardware does it have? Software? If it is networked, is the network friendly or hostile? etc.
So, what MS does is have a their OS graded on a really pussy PP (not networked, in a friendly environment, locked in a vault so there's no physical access, etc) and say "Our product is secure (what "secure" means is also outlined in the PP) in this environment!".
The EAL levels only indicate how THOROUGHLY this statement has been validated!
So, if a bunch of security auditors are really, really, really sure that Windows is "secure" (however the PP defines that), in the weak, totally-non-real-world environment outlined in the PP, then it get's a high EAL number. THAT'S IT!
After all, my unpatched Win 98 box is totally secure when OFF AND LOCKED IN A CLOSET!. EAL 5 here I come!
So you think your entertainment should be subsidised? Why is that?
Because I like those channels, and I'm for whatever economic model keeps them on the air. By your way of thinking, I should be able to withhold all my Social Security paycheck deductions because I don't give a fuck about old people....but I can't (and shouldn't).
Otherwise TV will turn (more so) into the horrible, shitty swamp of crap that is 95% of modern American cinema...
MGM Suit: "Will a sufficient number of males between the ages of 15 and 30 see this movie within 48 hours of its premiere? No? Then it doesn't get made!"
I don't like this idea. If we give people the power to buy channels on an a la carte basis, that means the ones that don't get purchased as frequently will probably go out of business (as TFA says).
If I watched MTV, CNN, and the Country Music Network, I wouldn't care. But since I watch the History Channel, the Science Channel, Discovery, etc, I do care. These channels will probably fall by the wayside as their revenue is reduced by a huge margin. =(

Yeah, Bufo can have 5-MeO-DMT in it. Wowee indeed!
Just need an MAOI and you're set, get to licking!
Awesome! Just like the holographic doctor from Voyager.
And do you know the name of the actor who played him?
Robert PICARDO!
Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

I thought OS X did defragging on-the-fly, or am I incorrect? Man, maybe I should drag out DiskWarrior....

I disagree. Project Genesis was a smashing success!

On the down side, it will only be able to talk to elderly Korean people...
Sorry, I had to.

You're exactly right. Here's how it works:
