PJ didn't single-handedly write the scripts for LOTR. There were one or two other people. You have to think about why the scripts were done as they were: running time and PROFIT. Most people would rather see Liv Tyler than some dirty troll or hobbit. Not to say it does justice to the book, but the movies wouldn't be as big as they were.
As for the Hobbit, it seems almost impossible that they can screw it up. It's 100% adventure with no love story and very little subplot. It's just a bunch of dwarves and a hobbit doing cool shit.
Peter Jackson's LOTR was pretty dull as far as I'm concerned. Should have had a nutcase like Tim Burton do them. Although if you've ever seen Dead Alive, you'd probably think Peter Jackson was a nutcase.
Um, IP is a layer 3 protocol that provides logical hierarchical addressing. Layer 2 is the network layer (typically ethernet protocol) that provides a flat address (your MAC address). But maybe you knew that and I just didn't understand what you are trying to say.
It doesn't seem anonymity will ever be viable for high speed data transmission. IP is set in stone. You have to work within it's definition. Sure you could write your own layer 3 protocol (or any layer protocol for that matter), but it would never work on any current hardware. Any data you sent would still have to be encapsulated in an IP packet.
If what you meant was make your layer 2 information "anonymous", that wouldn't really do anything. Your computer still has the logical layer 3 address that is easily linked to you.

war's over I'm a peacetime mandalorian
my story has stumped star wars historians
deep in deabte buffet plate at bennigans
rhyme renegade sure to penetrate
first and second defense I won't hesitate
got a job to do and darth's the guy that delegates
got something against skywalker someone he really hates
I don't give a fuck I'm after Solo
For all I care he could be hiding at yoda's dojo
Gotta make the money credit's no good
When the jawas run the shop in your neighborhood
Think you can cook I got a grappling hook
Let's make this quick cuz I'm really booked
I'm a devious degenerate, defender of the devil
Shut down all the trash compactor's on the detention level
My backpack's got jets
I'm boba the fett
I bounty hunt for jaba hut
To finance my vette
I chill in deep space
A mask is over my face
I deliver the prize but I still narrow my eyes
Cuz my time I don't like to waste.
Get down
I'm a question wrapped inside an enigma
Get inside the slave one find your homing signal
From endor to hoth, ripley to spock
I'll find what you want, but there's gonna be a cost
Say my name is boba fett I know my shit is tight
Start not acting in right, you're frozen in carbonite
Got telescopic sight, flame throwers on my wrist
You still don't get the gist, spiked boots are made to kick
Targets are made to hit, you think I give a shit
Yer mama is a bitch, I see you in the sarlaac pit
You just flipped my switch integrity been dissed
You scratchin on my itch you know I shoot the gift
Got bambinas at cantinas waitin to lick my lusty lips
So I'll let you get back inside you're little space ship
Give you a head start, cuz I'm the sportin' kind
Consider the starting line the sneaky smile I hide inside
Hope you have hyper drive, pray to stay alive
Don't try to slip me a five cuz I never take a bribe
To the beat of a different drummer, bad ass bounty hunter
Let no man put asunder or else they be put under
As in six feet, got an imperial fleet
Backin me up gonna blow up any attempt to defeat
They gotta death star, got four payments on my car
Hand it over to hammer head at mos eisley bar
He used to carjack, now he's a barback
Just goes to show how you can get back on the right track
As for me that's not an option can't say that with more clarity
Me going legit would be jar jar in speech therapy
Slice you open like a tauntan, faster than the autobahn
Or a motorbike in tron, do the deed and then I'm gone
Jabba has a hissyfit, contact calrissian
Over a colt, the plan unfolds, no politic is legit
Back in the day when I was a slave
Living live in the fast lane like in a pod race
My mean streak tweeked I became a basket case
So this space ace split that place poste haste
Took up a noble cause called the clone wars
Cuz life's not all about girls and cars
Getting fucked up in fucked up bars
See I'm not a retard or gay like de barge
I'm large and in charge with a face so scarred
A cold black heart that's been torn apart
The sith wish that they had a dick so hard
Cuz it's long long ago in a pussy far far
Call me master cuz I'm faster than pryor on fire
I no longer have to hot wire
I'm a hunter for hire with no plans to retire
And all the sucka mc's can call me sire
An oppressive regime that censors anything that might go against their agenda. A government known for human rights violations. Definately not a democracy. Iraq? No, China! I guess extremely cheap labor is worth more than cheap oil. I mean, if we bombed China and killed a bunch of people, who would make our fireworks and Wal-Mart clothes?
BTW, is China still our "Most Favored Nation"? Or was that just a Clinton thing?
Typing, Fastest. Mrs. Barbara Blackburn of Salem, Oregon can maintain 150 wpm for 50 min (37,500 key strokes) and attains a speed of 170 wpm using the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard (DSK) system. Her top speed was recorded at 212 wpm. Source: Norris McWhirter, ed. (1985), THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS, 23rd US edition, New York: Sterling Publishing Co., Inc.
How does she type so fast? The key, so to speak, is in the keyboard design. Blackburn will type on nothing but the Dvorak keyboard, which has vowels on one side and consonants on the other, with the most frequently used letters on the center row. "It makes much more sense than the standard, so-called Qwerty keyboard (named after the first six letters on the top row)," Blackburn said. In fact, it was the Qwerty keyboard that was her undoing in high school typing class back in Pleasant Hill, Missouri.
An Indian friend of mine just got back from visiting his homeland. Talk about pirating, he was telling me how easy it is to get Playstation games for as little as $2. They even go so far as to print the manual and make boxes in exact replica. Another friend of mine bought bootleg CDs made in the same fashion from our friendly neighbors in Mexico. These aren't seedy backalley merchants, this stuff is right out in the streets.
When's the last time you heard a story about the RIAA making a raid on some illegal factory overseas cranking out thousands, if not millions of dollars worth of pirated hardcopies. Is P2P such a threat that these black market industries can veritably be ignored, or are we just not hearing about it in the news?
It's the ratio of download to upload that helps you download faster. I thought everyone used Azureus? It always yells at me if I want to stop an upload and it's not at a 1:1 upload:download ratio.
For further explanation: lets say you got the new Yoper ISO (or whatever) and it's 700mb. If you haven't uploaded at least 700mb of data from that ISO, you are not sharing at a 1:1 ratio, and that essentially means you're a leecher.
I use Firefox and have seen these options. The problem I have is that I do not want it to save "form" information, such as Google searches. (Call me paranoid...). Whenever I clear this info, so goes my password info for some sites. Most sites already have cookies that save your password anyway so it's not too big of a deal.
I guess what I really want is an option to save all form info for specific sites, or things like my username for school webmail and Gmail.
I would like to see password management implemented for specific websites instead of in general. There are some sites I want my password saved on (i.e. online newspapers) and some I don't (i.e. my webmail). Maybe this is possible already, but there is no obvious way to do it that I've found.
If they are basing this on those tests they give you in school and say "This isn't for a grade" how much effort are the students going to give? I know I didn't care unless it affected me on the report card side of things.
This is moronic. The hell sequence was one of the best parts about Doom 3. I still think Doom 2 was the best Doom game, though. The concept of hell on earth was pretty damn scary.
This game is not that fun. I'd give it a 7/10, at best. It's completely linear, the story sucks, the weapons are exactly the same as the first game, excpet for two. The AI is total crap. I already found several bugs with the physics engine. The puzzles are not very intelligent, and the game runs like crap on my system, even though it isn't that slow. Anyone that calls this game "revolutionary" is just a dimwitted dolt impressed by the uninspired.
I got motion sickness from the first Half Life. WHY DIDN'T THEY FIX THAT BUG, HUH?
Oh ya, and I get the stuttering bug all the time. Pretty much the entire time I was in the secret power-plant base with the black guy and the two hot chicks, they were stuttering.
Valve can a make pretty good game, but they suck pretty bad at programming them. Kind of like Blizzard. John Carmack needs to whore himself out, seriously.

Wasn't there an article on /. a while back in which a company claimed they would have these monitors out by the end of '04? Guess they were lying.

Yes, but you could circumvent any wrongdoing on your part by downloading a song from an album you already own.
PS: Anyone that ever encodes anything to WMA/WMV is a MORAN anyway. They need to get a brain.
What is this E-bay?
But will it come in a stylish case with a 4-figure price tag?
I was excited when I thought that said "Build your own teleporter"!

For the times when you stop and think, is he really peeing on that girl?

Great job on getting this one out early!
