I'll counter you on that joke by saying that some think Glorfindel of Gondolin and Glorfindel of Rivendell are the same being, only brought back Olórin-style to fulfill his mission.
Now you remember, if you ever get offered a membership in the Exclusive Secrety Society of Tolkien Nerds, be sure to drop my name!
Did it ever occur to you that maybe he had the taste to quit while it was good and fun?
I mean, look at a lot of TV shows... running past 5 seasons and not really good but sustained by viewer numbers and I don't know what.
I say, quit at the peak. I'd rather watch reruns that amuse me and thrill me than watch a show (comedy or drama, whatever it be) get watered out only to stop breathing well past its prime.
I've watched far from all of ZeFrank's episodes, but some of them are really worth remembering. Good, original comedy. Me likes.

I greatly fear that on March 28th, C&C will be added to this list.
Am I the only one that doesn't really feel like I can trust that EA will do a good job on their follow-up of the Tiberian series?
Okay, alot of you probably think that EA already screwed C&C up with the release of Generals. However, that was a new idea anyway and it didn't really hurt the good memories of -in my case- Tiberian Sun. TS was my second computer game and I loved it! The feel, the atmosphere, story and gameplay. I occasionally take it off my shelf and have another go at it.
Anyways, I have a fear based on the fact that it is ever so popular to take hits and then just -destroy- them. Games and movies, the list can be made long. Had Westwood done it, okay... but EA?
Even cooler is the fact that he is funny (not some deeply overserious physics guy)- I very much enjoyed the interview with him from ISS.
My biggest problem with beige

When Beige Won't Do
·
· Score: 4, Interesting
The worst thing about beige is that it gets dirty. Or rather- the fact that dirt easily gets visible.
Anyone remember high school public computers? With layers upon layers of ingrown grease and dirt on the keyboard, mouse and case? That would be my biggest problem with the color beige.
Nobody can possibly enjoy working in an environment where the best reason for learning to touch-type is that you'll keep your lunch (if I can't see it, it won't disgust me).
This would be true if Christianity was false. Now, one could debate whether or not a teacher should bring it up in the middle of class. However- just think about this:
-If- Christianity in fact was true, however, it would the atheist society that was committing child abuse. The atheist society today does alot more to try to spread atheism than the Christian society does to try spread the Gospel. People falsly accuse only Christians of being overly opinionated and biased. Well then, since we can't really prove which of the two (atheism or theism) is correct, that means atheists -also- are as opinionated- as it is right now, they are even more opinionated and biased.
Letting people make their own unbiased decisions of what to believe or not believe in can never be done by only spreading one side of it as fact.
Most Christians spread the Gospel not to fill up their church, but because we were commanded to share the one thing in life that we have discovered and that has been life-changing for us. Alright, there are Christians who do preach just to fill up their church. There are always people with corrupt motives. But majority does it out of pure concern for their fellow humans.
I hope not, cos that would mean that they would look for the hacker in a "furry" community only to find out that the actual vigilante was a farmer who acted in good faith trying to protect his sheep. Ehhh...
"Did you forget it at home or are you an illegal immigrant?"
-No, seriously, I forgot it at home!
"Right."
Officers club down suspect and drag him to jail.
I can only assume this is to counter illegal immigrants- and homeless people? Any regular citizen cannot not have an ID (job, bank transfers, rent etc).
Skype is troublesome enough as it is; everytime I start it, it for some odd reason resets my internet connection... So go ahead Skype, I have l33t skillz at uninstalling stuff!
I wonder though, is this a limitation for the host of a conference or for any party wanting to partake in it? Would bring a new twist to the "hey your machine is better, you host" spin- w/out actually being a consequence of CPU while still being a consequence of CPU:)
if they actually make it there, they should skip mining. instead, spray-paint Mars grey!...so that by the time space-tourism really catches on, the first tourism site will be.... dum dum dum
sorry, think you misunderstood me there
i said that in 20 years i will be having kids hungering for computers... ie- i plan to have kids within/in 10 years, meaning in 20 years time they will be 10ish and nearing the "computer age"
i spent my first 10 years both outdoors and indoors- outdoors with all that that gives, and indoors with Lego:)
and no, i wont forbid them from touching computers. but what i mean is, i'm not gonna dump a state of the art comp into their room when they are 5
i don't plan to let my kids touch computers too early (up to 14ish)
i am 20 atm so the earliest i would have game-hungering kids would be in 20 years... thats alot of time, alot is gonna change. for the worse? i don't know. i hope not (i still remember the GREAT non-violent games i got ahold of like 7 years ago...they should make more of those! ie Anno 1602)
but as people have already stated- getting hold of "adult" material is just too easy nowadays, whether in games, TV or newspapers/commercial ads. blocking it in games is far from enough
I've been looking forward to seeing Ep 3, mainly for the lightsabre fights... I've read some spoilers, I know generally what is gonna happen but I kept myself away from the details.
However, the closer to May 19th that I come, the closer I feel like doing an anti-climax and watch the movie the week after it's out... Just because.
i remember when i was in high school, i would occasionally scan a room for other bluetooth receivers which had their port open, then create a contact whose name was what i wanted the message to be, ie "Boyaa Wazzap" or something. then i would send the contact, via bluetooth, to the detected phone. free, short-range SMS kinda:)
i know, not setting up sexual encounters... but still a fun use for bluetooth

Walking around in your -what-?
Dude, I think you've been playing too much World of Warcraft.

...cos I can already see the first search result output in front of me: "double the stockkiller delete select all"
;)
Would be interesting to see how an advisor would interpret -that-
...it automatically sends a raid order of your premises to Tomas Bodström and the swedish police!
...if I one day find pictures of an unfamiliar garage I will know that not only has KITT been reborn inside my car, but he is also cheating on me? :/
Read it again. It actually says June 1st, 2007.
My mom has been telling me this every day for the past 6 years :/
"Sir, may I please see your ID?"
-Umm, I forgot it at home.
"Did you forget it at home or are you an illegal immigrant?"
-No, seriously, I forgot it at home!
"Right."

*pats his AMD 3200+*
iirc Vista is said to take quite a chunk of hardware to run. from the article:
"However, 3D and hardware accelerators will probably not be part of the package."
how, then, will it be possible to put this stuff on even older comps? is this really thought through, or am i missing some obvious point?
...that this was posted on the same day as the article about the robotic hand?
1 + 1 = 2 (say hello to a new era of beach voyeurism)
if they actually make it there, they should skip mining. instead, spray-paint Mars grey! ...so that by the time space-tourism really catches on, the first tourism site will be.... dum dum dum
