The only scene I remember is the one where he whips ass at the arcade game "Phoenix", earning free games for all the kids gathered around.

I wonder how many of these $3000 cameras they'll actually sell. The market would seem to be mostly professionals and well off, motivated amateurs. So was there really that much eager anticipation to begin with?

My current favorites are the Hybrio rechargables. They don't self discharge, so you if you leave them in your camera for a month, they're still ready to go, unlike standard NiMH batteries. The Eneloop batteries are similar.

I can't figure out what the first one means. You plug an Ethernet cord into the power supply?

As for the second one, I'd like some confirmation that it actually works.

What address do we send free stuff to?

revolutionmoney is creating an alternative payment network and has the backing of a few well-known individuals.

It's like coming into the Uncanny Valley from the opposite side.

I've been using the same particle board computer desk for about 20 years now. Overhead shelves are one of its nicer features, which newer desks tend not to have.

Alas, it's starting to sag, as all particle board furniture does, and it barely has enough room for my 21" CRT monitor.

"Hofmann". One F two Ns.

Lumenlab still sells kits, and their "65K T15 Lamp" is only $50.

Hotlinking of images isn't that big of a deal, but hotlinking of videos is, at least for me.

The MAKE blog once hotlinked a video of mine onto their front page. The hosting provider cut me off after it saturated all their bandwidth as everyone who hit MAKE's page started buffering the video. After that, I put all my videos on blip.tv. It's a great service that even allows users to download the video in the original format (see "Streams Stink").

This would be great for the movie theater. No more having to juggle separate drink and popcorn containers.

Use the Velcro cable ties. Or even cheaper, make your own using Velcro tape with hooks on one side and loops on the other.

The person who draws the 'Steal a Keeper' tends to win the game.

If it has a air conditioner, the waste heat has to go somewhere. So I can't imagine it working for cooling. MSC runs sales every so often on small space heaters. I bought a really solid metal one for only $30 or so.

Maybe it would make a good lamp.

How could they have neglected the report of Dr. Beaurieux showing that a person with a severed head can communicate for about 30 seconds.
