  1. Re:floppies... on IBM's New USBKey Device · · Score: 1

    With WinVNC and ftp, http serving it has been a long time since I have needed a floppy drive for anything (with a few forced exceptions). However, there are still times when the gods are out to get you and things just dont work and you cant print your shit off.

  4. Re:Not all that unusual on Communicating Via Space Dust · · Score: 1

    Question - with all these metor showers that are happening during the day and all this debris that its enough to make more then a handful of people listen for pings of dust ... wouldnt things like satelites and space shuttles be effected more by this? I mean from what I have read in the thread, its quite common for right at dawn to get a lot of metors that you can bounce off their dust. I dunno if that makes sense - I just never knew that there was that much usable metor dust!

  8. I was tortured with go bots but on Complete Transformers Generation One Set on ebay · · Score: 1

    I grew to love them - but Legos were my true passion. In reading UGO's transformer page they had up when the DVD came out (Cant find the url - sorry) it mentioned that after the first season the movie came out and thats when the robots were destroyed. GENUIS! Everyone buys the $8 a pop toys and then they have to have the new ones cause their old toys are dead!

  22. Movie previews on "Traffic" · · Score: 1

    Has anyone else noticed how bad movie previews are getting for some movies? I went and saw Miss Congeniality w/ the lil lady and there was a preview for The Wedding Planner with Jennifer Lopez & Matthew McConaughey. The whole plot is given away right there. Same thing happened with what lies beneth. I thought that movie was a great thriller. However, if you saw the preview you knew that HF was the bad guy. Total crap. Just my 2cents. Oh and more on topic, I didn't think trafic was ALL that great but ive seen worse.
