well, damn, you're right about the axles. It's not neo on the bike though.
If you want a funny, one, there's a great problem with clipping during the agent smith pile-up. One guy's arm goes through another Agent Smith's arm. It's just one frame, but you can't miss it if you frame-by-frame it.
MPlayer doesn't really decode the media streams. It uses dll files for other operating systems which decode them. Basicly, in order to legally decode Sorenson, for example, you have to have Quicktime on a windows partition. To decode some Mpeg4 stuff, it uses native Windows DLLs, which to legally use, you must have Windows. At least this is the way I understand it. Because of this, MPlayer treads a fine line between legal and illegal. I believe it is GPL, or some other other Open Source license. The program would be distributable, but the files on which it mainly depends (not all, there are some public domain decoders included i believe) would not be. That is probably why alot of distros don't include it.
hmmm..you may be onto something. According to this law, hiding your service provider is a felony...which is exactly what you do when you click anonymous coward. hmmmm...assuming that is the case, in a couple of days, if I were to post anonymously, even though I live in WV, would I be guilty of a felony in MI since that's where the server lives?
just make sure that you've added the Sorenson codecs. If you go to the mplayer webpage, there is a place where you can download a ton of addons. Get the sorenson addons, plug them into the directory, and it should work. Hopefully:-)
you jest, but I think that would be outstanding. Nothing would change the administration's mind like the thought that crude oil is so abundant there that it flows freely on the ground. Talk about getting something done. Then you run the risk turning mars into something that looks like a boomtown with oil derricks everywhere./sigh
The point is moot, of course, owing to the fact that crude oil is biological in origin. Maybe millions of years ago, there were rainforests, martiansaurs, etc, and they became crude oil, but I'm not holding my breath betting on it:-(
Damn them for making me want to eat there! At least BK has the veggie-burger(slogan: You're almost guaranteed not to get e.coli), but the healthiest thing McD's has are those garden shakers. Oh well, back to BigMacs and fakeShakes.
You're right..the thing that stood out most in my mind were the jaggies...big, blatant jaggies:-) The kind that could saw through a tree. I haven't seen the game in action, so I'm ill equipt to defend my "the graphics suck" argument beyond the screenshot i saw, so till I get a copy or I see a movie, I'll just stick where I am, hoping that graphics in general improve....
I agree with some of the above posters. I don't think the graphics are all that impressive, though I have to say that they DO look better than 90% of the linux games we have now. Any code coming over to our side is better than nothing, and maybe someone will look at this code and say "hey, I can use this to/insert really cool statement here/"
Which is why I think that the kids today have a different idea of computers than we do, or did. Now, you don't need to break into a unix system to learn it, you only have to download the cd image of a linux distro, and install it on your computer. It just seems like there has been a change from the way that it used to happen. I dunno...someone give me a rocking chair and a pickel barrel with a checker board.
Idiot. Do you know why they are called children? Why they are considered dependents? Why kids cannot vote, why they can't drink, why they can't agree to contracts? Because children are not mentally nor emotionally capable of handling the grim realities pumped out by the media.
I have to disagree with you. It completely depends on the individual child whether or not they can handle the stresses that life brings. I remember watching the news of the explosion in 1986...I was 7 years old, and I understood the magnitude of what had happened. It didn't "fuck me up". It was a realization that bad things happen, and when they do, there isn't always going to be a happy ending.
The job of the parents is to protect children from these horrid images until those kids are mature enough to understand. It is the job of the parents to shelter the kids from the harsh realities of life.
I hope that your children don't end up sheltered from reality to the point that when they do have to face it, they come running back to you so you can make it better.
well, the guy on CBS (some NASA spokesman) said that while they have the door they can exit out of, he couldn't imagine a situation where that would be feasable. So probably not, no.:-(
you're totally right....I thought it was just me, but apparently other people feel the same way about using other distros...they just...don't.../feel/ right, i guess. I get aggrivated when using Redhat, because it gets in my way. When I was forced to use it for 2 months, I didn't even know linux conf existed for 1 and a half of them, and i uninstalled it after i found out about it. The first thing that I did when I was able was to install slack 7.1 (at that time, brand new), and it was the most soothing thing i'd experienced for a while.
right, but just because right now, they are advanced enough to use to communicate, doesn't mean that at some point in their technological evolution, they didn't use radio...and since it takes A LONG TIME for/anything/ to get here from there, hundreds or thousands of years ago, a civilization may have used radio, and we'd be picking up their oldies, if you catch my meaning. like if you could break the known physical laws, and teleport yourself 50 light-years away from the earth, and point a big honking antenna at the earth, you may just hear some Doo-Wop music.
I believe that Linux is already what we geeks want it to be. Sure it might not have gee-wiz-gizmo-2.25 yet, but it will, and we know it. What Linux lacks is the ability for idiots to use it. The "linux is user-friendly, but it's selective about who it's friends are" joke is in full effect here. There's no reason that if this non-geek user hurdle can be overcome, that it still can't be the coolest thing since sliced bread. Just change your preferred window manager and you're back to what you normally have. The beauty of linux is versitility. I can have my stuff, you can have your stuff, and we can use the machine for completely different tasks, and it's equally well suited* to each of them.
* multimedia not withstanding....in general i believe that multimedia on linux sucks. There are a few bright lights in the dim recesses of the cave that is multimedia (mplayer, soundtracker, etc) but generally it's too few and far between.
so basicly you're teeter-tottering between internal and external loci of control...either the kids should not be on their own, or they should not rely on exterior help? Maybe I don't get it. BTW where's the Deus Ex Machinae ending in the first movie?

hahaha I just watched that episode today : - )
Excelent....

plus you can't mod your cablemodems now. Well, you can, but you'll be much less happy than when they only turned off your service
exactly the point that I make to everyone. Except somewhere my mind has gone,and I remembered it as a bunny rabbit. You are probably right.
plus the Uma was hot...

then he'll just go bomb it as a threat to our national interests, and by national interests, I mean his oil investments.

has anyone tried all 1's??? /heh heh heh
wow...jewish french canadian cult members....this just keeps getting better...
why can't it do both?

hehe i was just up in Montreal and saw those. I dont speak french, so i couldn't tell if you it said free ticket or not.
yea, I'm sure they made it Lysine dependent or something.....losers! lol
Wouldn't it require XP, due to lack of raw socket support previous?
