Well, On the Nintendo Gamecube, it's: Shouldn't that be: up up down down left right left right b a Z start. They need to use that Z button for something.;-)
But what's the key to change NOW to a previously defined educational movie, for when you unexpectedly hear your spouse, GF|BF|SO, parent, etc. opening up the door of your bedroom/Office while you're watching the latest download of "Debbie Does Dobies!"?

To pci-sig list members and other individuals in the blind-cc to this
message.
I am receiving quite a few e-mails about the situation with Jim Boemler's
web site, which he has felt compelled to take down. I wasn't aware of this
situation until the first of these e-mails arrived, and having looked into
it I think the situation is as outrageous as obviously many of you do.
However, you should all be aware that neither I personally, or my company
ZNYX Networks has anything to do with this situation. ZNYX Networks is not
currently a member of the PCI SIG. We allowed our membership to lapse a
number of years ago since it was obvious we were not going to be active in
any standards setting efforts. As for me or any employee of ZNYX Networks,
we are not now or ever have been an official of the SIG. If you read Mr.
Boemler's web page more carefully, you will note that he does not list me
as anything other than a possible contact, since he mentions he is not
clear who should be contacted, other than the "shark" that is doing the
legal work.
We have e-mailed Mr. Boemler (and cc'ed this message) to clarify our
position, and I will offer any aid I can.
To clarify our position, we run the pci-sig mailing list as a general
service to the community as a whole the same way Jim Boemler does (did) his
web site. Back in 1992-3 when we first started, there were much fewer
people around who could set up a mailing list so we did it. As with Mr.
Boemler, we don't get paid for it, and we have offered to turn the work
over to the SIG since we felt that it is more properly a SIG service, but
so far there has been no positive reply. Now I am wondering if I am going
to get a present in the mail like Jim did! (I really don't think that
will be the case, since we don't do a web page, but the parallel is
evident.)
To any REAL PCI-SIG officials: would you care to post a comment?
I work at a fab now (that shall remain nameless), and one of the nastiest liquids we have around here is HF (Hydrofluoric acid). The stuff has a NASTY desire for the calcium in your bones.
I think we could have all lived without that link. Maybe not the Goat guy, but still just as personally enriching. (Does the world really need more cam-tramps?
Stop spreading FUD!!! I live in Oregon, we have no sales tax, so it'll be $90!
But that's the problem, you live in Oregon,
and since nobody in Oregon will be selling these,
you'll still have to pay $10 shipping and handling, so IT'S STILL $100!
The National Security Agency trawling program sometimes assumed to be reading the net for the U.S. Government's spooks. Most hackers used to think it was mythical but believed in acting as though existed just in case. since the mid-1990s it has gradually become known that the NSA actually does this, quite illegally, through its Echelon program.
The standard countermeasure is to put loaded phrases like `KGB', `Uzi', `nuclear materials', `Palestine', `cocaine', and `assassination' in their sig blocks in a (probably futile) attempt to confuse and overload the creature. The GNU version of EMACS actually has a command that randomly inserts a bunch of insidious anarcho-verbiage into your edited text.
As far back as the 1970s there was a mainstream variant of this myth involving a `Trunk Line Monitor', which supposedly used speech recognition to extract words from telephone trunks. This is much harder than noticing keywords in email, and most of the people who originally propagated it had no idea of then-current technology or the storage, signal-processing, or speech recognition needs of such a project. On the basis of mass-storage costs alone it would have been cheaper to hire 50 high-school students and just let them listen in.
Twenty years and several orders of technological magnitude later, however, there are clear indications that the NSA has actually deployed such filtering (again, very much against U.S. law). In 2000, the FBI wants to get unto this act with its `Carnivore' surveillance system.
Microsoft hires Michael Robertson for XXX dollars, with a contractual obligation to not reveal that he works for MS.
MS then supplies Michael Robertson with $200,000 to offer as a reward for this project.
Hackers everywhere try to crack the Xbox...
When the hackers succeed, then MS uses that knowledge to tighten down Xbox Version 2, and to
(More importantly) fix Palladium/DRM, for a
much lower cost than MS could do in the first place.
In conclusion, don't do this, and you help fight against MS, do this project, and you help MS take over the world.

We used Gatorade cans and LOTS of electrical tape. We set ours off with a lighter held to a hole made with a can opener (The triangular type).
It's probably a "Good Thing" (tm) that we didn't think about compressed air and PVC pipe.
I'm obviously out of the loop here....
What the heck are on those 10,000 cds (cd's?) anyways, and why is it so cool? Games? MP3s? Movies? Pr0n?
Oh geeezzzz, get real...
That sort of stuff only happens in the movies.
You know, I love it when I get a higher reply count to a post than the score of the post itself! ;-)
Score 5 (funny) VS. Replies 6...
This only makes sense to people reading in thread ed mode... ;-)
REAL mice have THREE buttons...
Not One,
Nor Two,
But Three, is the number of buttons on a real mouse.
Shouldn't that be: up up down down left right left right b a select start?
Well, On the Nintendo Gamecube, it's: Shouldn't that be: up up down down left right left right b a Z start. They need to use that Z button for something. ;-)
Get the secret weapon on Level 4: up up down down left right left right a b fire.
Ooooooh, so that's what it is.
I've been trying: up down up down up down left right up down FIRE.
I mean, hey, it works with my wife, after all. ;-)

She's kinda hot if you like that almost jaded, but not quite given up on ever getting out of it prostitute look.

Don't do it! Do not work on this project!
Michael Robertson works for MICROSOFT!!!
Think about it for a minute....
In conclusion, don't do this, and you help fight against MS, do this project, and you help MS take over the world.
