Gore appeared at the Cannes film festival to promote his film and warn of the dangers of global warming. He then drove five separate, gasoline-burning cars the 500 meters from his hotel to the theater, during heavy traffic. uh huh.
I learned VB when i was 8. I finished my first C++ DirectDraw-based program at 14. I'm working on a program for a microcontroller that i'm designing to transmit data over the X-band. I know four other people my age on this level. Now, i learned all of this on my own, due to the total lack of avaliable programming classes, save a simple Java class that didn't seem worth my time. The computer classes offered at my school are pretty terrible, the most advanced of which involves learning how to write HTML in notepad. Everything else seems to be a typing class. I recently spoke to a classmate of mine who showed interest in video game design, and here's an exact quote from him: "Oh, i'll learn all that stuff later. That is what college is for." Of course he isn't the brightest pencil in the case, but he represents the general mindset. Now, don't loose hope, there are WONDERFUL after-school programs that i used to keep my sanity in meatspace which are churning out electrical engineers and programmers by the hundreds. The one problem seems to be getting more than six interested people people on your team. Just advertise programming courses on MySpace. You'll have more programmers than there are computers.
I much prefer the idea that God is not a sentient being, but a sentient force or dimension of some kind, which is everywhere, much like time, and can effect and edit things as it pleases, but otherwise leaves things alone. Now I realize this goes against the core values of creationism, but I think it seems to fit our universe a little better. Not that I believe it, I'm Pastafarian, but I like the idea.
That my computer, which I only recently upgraded above the recommended system requirements of the game, chose to die the very day I got Oblivion, like it was waiting for it... considering that I have been waiting for this game to be released since the first screenshots came out, I am understandably annoyed. Not that I'm blaming the game, I'm sure it was just a coincidence that Compy died DURING the installation. Ah well, I can just fantasize until my new motherboard comes in...
...That he had a hand in an MST3K favorite, First Spaceship on Venus! Here's a quote from here:
MSTies may recall that he helped convert his 1951 novel "Astronauci" ("The Astronauts") into the 1960 East German film DER SCHWEIGENDE STERN, which, when redubbed in English, became the movie featured in episode 211- FIRST SPACESHIP ON VENUS. When he saw the final product he (understandably) repudiated the film and attempted (unsuccessfully) to have his name removed from it.

Dvd's do not work that way. GOODNIGHT.
Japan's economy has mysteriously crashed.

Yeah, why don't we all get one and feed them skewed data? Soon we could be seeing advertisements for Grapefruit Doritos and refreshing Soy Sauce Coke.
