I live in Madison, which is near Spring Green, which is where Taliesin is located. For those not in the know, Taliesin was the home/studio of world famous archictect Frank Lloyd Wright. When driving up to his house for a tour, I noticed the highways near it looked a little "bare." Later on, I discovered that Frank Lloyd Wright not only owned the house/studio, but acres and acres of land around it. And he HATED power lines, because the way that they disturbed the natural prarie. And since he was infamous for not caring about budgets and practicality, he paid to have every single power line on his estate buried.
And you know what? I'd say it looked pretty damned nice.
You know what else? I sound like a old rambling grandpa. I remember in my day to get to Taliesin we had to walk 5 miles uphill both ways in the snow...
But I got a small nitpick. You're actually thinking of "Fistful of Dollars." Kurosawa actually sued the filmmakers for $100,000, an apology, and 15% of profits in Asia (since he filmed the movie yojimbo first).
Quick lesson:
EM field from a point source: 1/r^2 strength
EM field from a line/wire (theoretically infinite): 1/r strenth
EM field from a plate (theoretically infinite): constant strength
The derivations involve many repulsions and attractions of charges as you integrate along an entire line or plane. This is stuff you should know after learning multivariable calculus.
Nope. There was a special on VH1 about the history of South Park. The first couple episodes were done with construction paper, but the creators became frustrated with how long that took. They now use Maya (I think), even though the cartoon looks completely 2D. The creators have even admitted that the software they use is capable of MUCH more then what they actually use it for, but that the system they have works so there is no reason to change it. (Additionally, they sometimes do make really complex models: spaceships, for example)
The CDC said the following in a press release: "[Anthrax] can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead."
There is a Polish movie called Seksmisja (Sexmission) where all the men are killed off, except for two men who were cryogenically frozen. It was actually pretty damn funny. See the imdb entry here.

Dear God, my kids watch that show! And they're pushing ecstasy? Oh wait, you meant Elmo.
I guess you can say his time at HP is... DUNN for! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... sigh.
Is that an erection in your pocket, or are you just happy that you have a 16 GB USB Flash Dongle?

Someone's acting awfully aluminum!
I don't like this attitude guys. Remember, iPod madness is no excuse for iPod rudeness.

I think that the market for physical CD's will always be a lot stronger than the market for the metaphysical CDs that only exist in your head.
Sadly, in the time it takes to open up OpenOffice I can load the level I'm on in Far Cry. :)

... this particular robot now favors unreasonably large subsidies to the slime mold planet, doesn't it?
... I wouldn't want to be part of any suicide club that would have me as a member.

Actually, many people have absolutely no control over where they live (due to either social, economic, or political reasons).
That's the sound of a thousand slashdotters trying to make a "shark with friggin laser beams" joke before I do.
5 minutes ago called. They want their cliched joke back.
There's an internet TWO?!?!? I haven't even finished the first one!
It has to be true; it's from a movie!
...everybody knows that votes on paper can never be tampered with.
"Let's do the time warp again!" It's not that big a deal people. It's just a jump to your left...
I think "venereal" is what sounds the best. After all, men are from mars, cheap hookers are from venus...
But I just could not find an aerial photo! WTF!
Why weren't any samples provided for us?
...they don't have any hurricanes. ;-)
