But the song is making fun of America not Canada! It's making a joke about how the latest trend in America and American media is to blame everybody else. The less connected to the actual even the better. Canada was just used as a ridiculous example.
It sort of makes me wonder if you understood the point of the whole movie?
My MP3 ripper seems to have cut out a bit early for whatever reason, but I can't hear anything that should need to be removed. The only thing I hear is the f-word once. Couldn't that just be bleeped? That way they wouln't have to find anouther person to voice it. Because they're going to have a hard time finding someone who can do the voices exactly the same.
The puzzlers should have varying levels of dificulty within each puzzle. So that part 1 can be easily solved but part 3 probably won't be solved without some colabrative effort on the message boards. It's that sort of interactivity that would make these puzzles better then just buying a puzzle book. I'd rather have puzzlers that aren't solved at all (until the answers are given out next week) but provoke a lot of discussion rather then an easy puzzle that's solved in the "first post" and every other post after that.
To me an integral part of renting or buying a video is having the disk. I can watch it twice if I want. I can stop half way and start up again after lunch. I can go back and see the really cool scene, only in slo-mo this time. I can go back and turn the director's commentary on.
This is what bothers me about streaming RealAudio. I can't do any of this stuff because it won't save it to my hard drive. If I want to see it again I have to download it again. This is not the optimal situation. And what if they stop offering it? Then I won't be able to see it. With a video store they'll keep it on the shelf because they've already paid for it. But will Yahoo reserve HD space for seldom watched movies?
What I'd love to see is an online service that would (for a small fee if necessary) allow me to download large mpeg files. I've got a bootleg TPM on my hard drive that looks good. Obviously they'd have to have different versions of the file for people with different connections and hard-drive space. But I think once it got rolling something like that would be better then Netflix. The streaming aspect of these things is just trouble.
"Sponsered by VA Linux systems" That was the first thing I noticed.
Now every time there's a story that even loosly involes VA are we going to have to have a thread about it?

Also if we could get the computer's intelligence level just a little bit closer to start trek, I'd like to be able to cell-phone my home computer and talk to it that way. "Computer, read the first line of the FooBar file to me" "Computer, start downloading the Quake3 demo." It'd be great.
Why is this? Why is the prefured start menu configuration Start/Programs/Company/Application?
It makes much more sense to group your applications by function and not by the company that makes them. Why put Age of Empires next to MS Word? Why not put it next to StarCraft?
Right, but If there are 6 billion people on this planet, even given that one of them has commited a crime, what are the odds that you will be accused of a crime they commited? 37Million to one. That's assuming that they even commited one. And that they don't also catch and test him.
They wouldn't be biased simply because the didn't post this story. What if they thought it simply wasn't interesting and had already been discussed to death? It certainly isn't News for Nerds. And I'm not sure it matters and more then all the other stories about the exact same thing.
Questions like this are silly because he can only answer one way without admiting guilt. This is only on step removed from TV reporters who ask "Did you kill him?" as a guy is being led into a court.
Of course, later on after my 50 brains have done their thinking, I could come back and download the results of their work back into my brain - 50 times the brain power as long as you can put up with the latency (download once a month or so)!
Yea, but plan on doing as much work as all the copyed brains. Otherwise each and every one of your copies will think this : "Ah. Ok, all my work is being done by my slave brains. Now, let's start up Quake XII. Wait! I can't access Quake! ARGG! I'm one of the slave-brains!" They'll be prety pissed off at you. And they'll know your security system inside and out.
Of course, maybe this is why Yoda resists letting him into the club at first?
What bother's me is we never hear what Yoda wants to do with the boy. Give him back to slavery? Put him in 'protective custody'? Just let him wonder the streets of Coriscant? With the Sith making thier reapearance simply forgeting about someone like that would be deadly.
Millennium simply means 1000 years. You can define "new Millennium" to mean any 1000 year period you want. 2000-3000 works just as well as '2001-3001' or '5024-6024' or '1-1001' or '2-1002'. They are ALL millenniums. You can celebrate a new Millennium any time you want. Every Year if you want! Every day even if you can get that much alcohol together.
They can only have 3 inputs and 3 outputs per brick. I suppose if you had to RCX bricks you could use the IR to link 'em together and then you'd have 6 outputs and 6 inputs. Has anyone tryed this?
Nah, you've got to start it somewhere. His birthday is just as good as anyone elses.
It also had the advantage of starting with big numbers. If we started a Koresh calander now the years would only be two digits! (Until the Y1C problem anyway.) That's hardly a way to impress people with your new calander.

Not only that, but am I the only one who thinks that using roman numerals to denote version then using "x" to denote "extra" is a bad idea?

Actualy the dolphins found Atlantis years ago. They've just now gotten the front door open.

In the future I will endeavor to make my posts as relevant and original as your post.
Not to mention as polite.
Yea now we get something that breaks as soon as it's out of the box. Somehow I don't think that'll go over well either.
Not to mention the $20mil for the space ride.
Ok, you've gotten your +1 funny. We'll be sending someone around with a meat cleaver in a day or so.
Well of course, A real-life portrayal would be dead-dull so they spiced it up. They'd have to do the same with this guy's System Admin tv show.
Where'd you get the bunny-suit guys?
I'm thinking of starting a collection of these sad and useless Action Figures.
