tabacco

Assuming you define "realistic" as realistically formed, and not as photorealistic...

Is it me, or does her chest look less glaringly 3d, though?

Are you suggesting that a TV adaptation of a novel would somehow be lacking in quality? Sir, I am surpprised at you!

Erm... I'm pretty sure my car has never leaned over. I'm certain I would have noticed. I drive an '01 Taurus, though, not an SUV or something, so maybe that accounts for the lack of tippage

I'm happy enough with my Ford

Aw, it saddens me that he's in it so little. He should have been the waiter at the Restaurant or something.

Heh... I just saw Bill Cosby live on Saturday

My dorm was awesome

Sorry, I wasn't trying to censor you, I just thought it was a typo.

Actually, according to Wired, we're not longer supposed to capitalize "internet"

So, it's generally about this point where I have to point out that the books themselves are adapted from another medium. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was originally written and performed as a radio series for the BBC. The books were adapted from the radio scripts.

I found it interesting that the original film is titled "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory," whereas the new movie is "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," (which is the actual title of Dahl's book). And Chris, I didn't especially like the trailer either, so there I'm going to reserve judgement until there's a real trailer with actual dialog, though.

A Dirk Gently game by TIM SCHAFER!

Actually, they did believe in it in the first place. Then Ed Fries left.

The MArch CGW issue has a two-page preview as well. It's the second-most prominent item on the cover behind WoW.

I dunno, I haven't actually used it under Windows, but the fact that on MacOS it moves all the mp3s you add to it to its own filesystem kinda bugs me. The biggest killer app of red chair's program, though, is xtreamer. I can hook my zen up to one pc via usb and then stream music over the network to winamp on any computer in the office I happen to be on. I'm pretty sure Anapod Explorer includes Xtreamer now too. I think they have a demo, if you want to give it a shot.

I have a Zen Xtra, and I like it. It's larger than the iPod, and I do wish it had the touch thingy, but for the price difference I really don't care that much. I hate Creative's software, though. For that matter, I really don't like iTunes much, either. I use third-party stuff from http://www.redchairsoftware.com/ They make software for the Micro and the iPod as well, if anyone's interested

My Report thus far... My friend bought the game today, and I'm using her 10 day guest pass code to try it out. I'm a level 3 human warrior. I'd have played further, but I spent 45 minutes looking at Java exceptions during the account creation process, so my enthusiasm had waned a bit. Thus far, it feels pretty much like every other MMORPG I've tried

I suspect so, since this is the one Tim linked to a half dozen times in his news update

Have you noticed that nobody is really arguing? I feel basically the same about OSs as I do about religions. Go with what works for you, but you'd better not try to convert me (owner of a Windows XP desktop, an OSX 10.3 laptop, and an RHEL3 web server )

Well, obviously

Agreed again. The trouble with Linux is that there are utter zealots out there who try to convert absolutely eveeryone they meet to it, no exception. tthese people are to be avoided at parties at all costs. Of course, the same is true of Macs, really. And Windows. And it's true, command-line is really a great way to get certain things done, like bulk file operations. For example, see how much it takes you to do a chown on our image db directory in a GUI compared with what it takes to do it via command line I also find cron a lot easier to work with than the windows task scheduler. As far as Darwin, it drives me insane that /usr/bin/locate is there but not /usr/bin/updatedb
