  1. And, you thought Independence Day was just a bad movie that turned out to be a good popcorn movie! It may turn out to be... MUCH MORE! Asteroid 2004 XP-14 is going to pass within moon's distance of Earth probably on July 3rd. It should be visible from North America then. I would not recommend welcoming any visitors with open arms...

    Happy birthday to both! I recommend taking kev's avatar and placing cake and icing, holding a candle each, over both nipples!
  3. I didn't know why, either. Why some apps could make DVD's that played, like how Nero was one of the earliest one that could, and other's didn't. Now I know! And, knowing is half the battle! G.I. JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOE!
  4. His definition of "artistic" files, though, is pictures of mice with necrophelia problems.
  5. The primary issue is Folder2ISO. It will not create DVD's that play in a standalone player. I learned the hard ware, but, used rewritables, so, all I lost was time.
  6. Oohh! That last of older versions will probably come in handy at some point!
  7. SOME of us have... And, technically, you did see one. In "Dalek."
  8. Don't suppose it's too much to hope for that if she dies she comes back as a Cyberman? I mean, we've had a companion die valiantly to prevent the Cybermen from winning... but, what about a really, final loss. No heroic death that saves all? Just a win for the Cybermen.
  9. I need the latest/last versions of two older Visual Basic files. Can anyone help me out? The files I have found keep returning that one of them is still too old to run the .EXE. What I have of what I need: VBRUN300.DLL 3.0.5.38 aka 03.00.0538 May 1999 THREED.VBX File Version: 3.0.1.0 Product Version: 3.0.0.0 (WHY can't any of these fuckers keep any sort of consistency?! Use ONE damn version number across the board!) Thanks!
  10. I did something unusual yesterday. I've never been one to celebrate Father's Day. Even when my dad was alive, and, I regret not doing it enough, now, of course. Even after his death, I never did anything to mark Father's Day when it came around, but, this time seemed a little different, especially since I had the tape at hand. So, I again watched the "Father's Day" episode of the 2005 season, probably my favorite episode behind "Dalek."
  11. Well, after a more careful analysis, I noticed two edits Sci-Fi Channel made to "Dalek." The first one is the removal of the scenes where the Doctor shows Van Statten how to use that alien musical instrument when they first meet in the office. My guess is to fit in commercials. The second was the edit we all saw coming. Van Statten's "Goddamn it, talk to me!" became "... Damn it, talk to me!" The canoodling her spoon line was left in!
  12. But, it should be mentioned that a few times, the President has been elected that only received a plurality of the popular vote. Thus, the President won the electoral vote, which he had to have if he ever became President, naturally, but, lost the popular vote. Okay, actually, some of those times the popular voting was so close that it probably isn't really possible to say who won, due to when they occurred, like the 1880's. Which one of those was it that was called the Disputed Election? The one with Hayes? In fact, wasn't Cleveland defeated by a challenger who actually lost the Popular Vote, but, ironically, Cleveland won in the end by becoming the NEXT President after that? And, wasn't the 1960 election also debatable because of weird voting practices in one state? So, it could have been possible that Kennedy lost the popular vote? Still, beats that mayorial election in Ecquador when a foot powder was actually elected.

    http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/7647.cfm "MPAA enlists football legend Pel? in piracy fight 10 June 2006 MPAA enlists football legend Pel? in piracy fight The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) has enlisted football legend Pel? to encourage fans to "score a goal against piracy". The footballer and trade group made a Public Service Announcement that will be displayed by networks during the 2006 World Cup. The networks that will show the PSA include ESPNEWS, ESPN Classics, FOX Sports and HBO Ole. The MPAA says Pel? "embodies the notion of fair play and love of the game.'" NAY! My dream team can ne'er come to pass if the Dark Side converts the donor of the DNA I need to conquer the world of football and, tomorrow, golf!
  14. Wow, Ladybird's a name I haven't heard in a while. In fact, I only ever heard of them through their line of Transformers books featuring the Transformers movie characters that I managed to get a few years back.
  15. Oh, yes, that Rip Off Press series! Yeah, definitely in the post Crumb sensibility of indepenent books. Today, though, furry freak used for comics means an entirely different genre to some people... e.g. Genus.
  16. Remember when PC got so fucking awful that PC had to infect the PC? Check your BIOS as Master and Slave no longer exist in most cases, replaced by Primary and Secondary.

    Well, isn't Canada like the ONLY place in the world that cares about curling? I mean, who the Hell curls?
  18. I didn't think anyone would know. Plop was the name of a DC comic series from the middle 1970's. It was much in the vein of the work of Robert Crumb.
  19. I don't like Westerns, and, I liked it. It was also on radio, one of those cases where a different actor took the role on TV. Because a guy with a great voice doesn't necessarily make a leading man, e.g. how William Conrad lost the lead on Gunsmoke. Who wants a short, fat sheriff?

    Yes, ironically enough, he was killed by a bodyguard who just happened to be named... Castro. No, your sick sense of humor is thinking it comes from the came!
  21. Oh, so, now, you're going to try to exchange puns, tit for tat, with me?
  22. Well, don't ALL posts that kevdriver respond to go tits up thanks to that avatar of his?
  23. You know, getting back to The Bee Gees back when there were 4 of them, they actually had some great tracks. When Andy, I think it was, went out on his own, the remaining Gees took up disco and became a joke. Before that, though, they had things like Words, Tomorrow, I Can't See Nobody, and I Started A Joke which had a lot of depth and meaning to them. It's hard to imagine going from "'Til I finally died, which started the whole world living!" to "Stayin' alive! Stayin' alive!"
