Something I thought about once was getting together 46 different people, taking a chromosome from them each, and throwing them together to make a new individual, completely at random.
Of course, after Captain America destroyed my evil cloning plant, this won't happen, but was my idea feasible?
It wasn't so much that he had the 'dark motivations' on his face as that, like the comic book Batman, he separated the two. Bruce Wayne was one character, and Batman was a completely different character.
Except that Dawn doesn't have any superpowers. Is she going to braid the demons' hair to death? Although, if she doesn't have Buffy's strange aversion to guns, I suppose she could just shoot them.
You think that Buffy and all the other Slayers called before her had their powers all their life? No, the power comes when the previous Slayer falls. I'm guessing that Faith will die, and Little sis gets the gig. But then, we can't call it 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' anymore.
They used to have something called an AutoMat. The last one in NYC closed down some years back. It was pretty much the same premise - insert money, remove what you wanted.
I just find it interesting that something that became so unpopular they're bringing it back, albiet in a slightly different form.

Well, do you remember a few weeks ago when there was an Ask SlashDot about how to break big earth shattering news to the world?
What SlashDot was trying to steel you for is that CmdrTaco & CowBoyNeal found a way to travel thru time!
Imagine that! They'll go back to 1987 and start the SlashDot BBS!
Ask SlashDot has been rather lax lately, with many, well...STUPID questions. Over the last week, however, the questions have been fresh and interesting. Is this a new trend?
Hey fuckwit, they're under no obligation to provide ROMs to you. Don't be so fucking self-righteous - I have yet to see *you* make your personal stash of ROMs publically available.
As a matter of fact I did, so take your take your nose in the air elsewhere.
Hardly a nose in the air. Most people didn't give money, as they figured they'd get the money from somewhere else. But since you did contribute, then more kudos to you.
And as for taking everything down for a single ROM? Hey, it's their site, it's their choice.
If you're looking for ROMs, visit http://www.tombstones.org.uk, which will burn the ROMs for you for free, or for the price of materials/shipping.
And as for you, Mr "I had wrote a program to download all roms from the site (heh) not long before it closed" people like you are one of the reasons it stopped serving ROMs.
The first reason being that, being contacted by a copyright holder to remove one ROM, they elected instead to remove them all (well, almost, Robby Roto (I think) and two other 'legal' ROMs are still available) thinking that since they were contacted by one, likely they'd be contacted by more.
So, to avoid legal hassle, they all went.
The second reason, I suspect, is because of the massive bandwidth requirements to serve all those ROMs. They operated almost soley on donations. I contributed what I could, when I could. Can you say the same?
Innocent_Lamb, are you reading this? Can you offer more insight?

Indeed. One of my favorite books as a lad.
All the Danny Dunn books were good. Remember they were tracking a robber with a 'sniffer' that looked like they were vacuuming the sidewalk?
Obviously you've had little or no experience with MAME.
Yes, for the 'classics' its' quite overkill. I've got MAME.36 running on a 486, and it runs Pac Man, Galaga, Dig Dug, etc quite well.
However, when I want to bust out and kick some ass in Mortal Kombat III, the 486 just doesn't do it justice. Out comes the Athlon, and watch the body parts fly.
(1) 4lb Bag chicken wings, thawed (1) bottle crystal hot sauce (1) small bottle catsup (2) Tbs honey (optional)
Preheat oven @ 250 degrees.
Mix catsup, hot sauce and honey (if you use it) until it reaches a consistency that will coat the chicken, but not run off or blob on.
Stir the mixture into the wings, coating evenly.
Let stand for an hour, covered, on the counter.
Place the wings onto a cookie baking sheet. Bake for 1/2 hour. Remove from oven. Using a turkey baster, suck up as much fat from the pan that you can and discard it. Place the pan back in the oven, and bake for another 1/2 hour. Again, suck up as much fat as you can.
Douse with more hot sauce to taste. Serve with either bleu cheese or ranch dressing.
A month ago I received a clients PC for repair. She claimed that it just up-and-stopped running one day.
Being kind of doubtful, and suspecting user stupidity, I cracked it open, and found nothing wrong...supposedly. I then popped the cover off the power supply, to find some nice char.
A bit more testing found that the motherboard would take _no_ power. I had picked up the machine from her house, so I knew the power was fine, and she was also using an excellent surge unit.
The PC was a bottom of the line Gateway, with a no-name power supply. Not suprising.

Okay, which Angel episode did Joss participate in?

Dual personalities at their best.
I guess you certainly won't worry too much about the cash flow problem...you're still getting checks from Toy Story 1 & 2, aren't you?
Er...I think that's just for actors. Never mind.

Jeeze! I had forgotten all about this movie.
...since Gellar wants to leave the show after season 7, there is much interesting plot potential with Faith's return.
Yep! Since Little sis is going to take over the family business. Or something.

Second one down, that's me. Same as the nick here. ROMs free for all (at least in the US)

The only character to come back from the dead is Buffy, herself.
Nice click-thru ad you got going on there!
It's only a matter of time until the Terrestrial Planet Finder program gets going and finds another Earth
Yep. And when that happens, I'm leaving.
I, too, have a low SDID, and would agree with you. They're simply too busy counting all that VAL money.
