I'm not fond of fps games, but those graphics kick ass. I can't wait for other games to come out on the same engine.

I wish Blender was like the Doom 3 engine. Maybe one day.

I've been in a few bands.. we thought we were punk rockers, but it was the biggest pile of garbage I've ever heard in hindsight.

In my last band I tried to play 70'ish rock with modern undertones and it sounded allright. We had some gigs, but when I went to college we stopped playing. It was just me and a drummer.

Right now my amp won't even work, I think my filament winding went out because the pre-amp tubes won't heat up. 

When my dad went on a Carribean cruise his alcohol was stolen on the flight back by bag-searchers.

For that price, go for an old laptop..

Yeah, I'd kind of like to see a walk-around of that device before believing it.

I've read up on free energy inventions a bit, but I've always tended to take their claims with a grain of salt. The problem with most of these inventions is that, although theres plenty about them on paper, IIRC nobody has ever built a working model of any of them.
Also, I'm not sure, but I believe that when you patent something, it doesn't necessarily have to work.
The thing that always made me skeptical about free energy devices is that most of them seem to disregard the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics.
Hopefully there is some free energy source or device out there, but until then I'm just going to sit back and wait for them to perfect fusion power (scientists say it's only 20 years away! just like it was in 1960 and 1980!)

Well, here's a video (though there isn't a walk-around): http://pesn.com/2004/06/30/6900029PerendevPowerMagneticMotor/

I'm currently trying to build an electrical/magnetic motor, looking at a lot of concept drawings and reading quite a bit about it I began to see something that may help.

As for fusion power:

Not a good time for the future of cold fusion (if there is one)

But anyway, does no one have an image harvestor?

The best way to talk to girls is to practice on guys.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.. sorry I couldn't help it.

"Hey, I lost my phone number, can I borrow yours?"
"Dude I think you're going to have to get some new friends."

Yes, it really does hurt my eyes to look at the sun. I can only force myself to look upon it for three seconds before my eyes feel tired and I have to look away.

Heh, I'm lucky I have 20/20 vision. I'm surprised that the years I've spent gazing at TV and computer screens haven't screwed up my sight yet.

You don't necessarily know you have 20/20 unless you've been tested.. have you?

My bias for close-range vision has caused noticable damage to my eyes, I barely passed my eye test when I tried to get my license. I've read books or played on the computer in nearly all of my free time (really) since I could read.

Heat.... Use aerogel as insulation and your set

There are a lot of ways around it, it was made in the fifties which means that their oil products were way way less lubricant than the synthetics of today.

The most important thing to realize is that if you can burn plain air, you can burn anything with it just like we always have. So lets say we burn biodiesel too, but mostly air, and we have an engine that runs 200mpg with less heat (because bd is a lubricant) and with a totally biodegradable pollution free fuel (the plants used to make it will recycle the carbon dioxide it creates, no plain carbon emissions).

Another key thing to see is that aerogel is new and therefore uber-expensive, while air is not and the heat can be reduced by other means or applied to make something else useful, like steam or heat for a home (where it serves a purpose that would have been needed anyway, but without the waste of converting heat to electricity and then back to heat). If you used it to heat your home, you'd need a use for a motor.. well use it to generate electricity. Use a pump to get your water. Now you have free electricity, free heat, free water, and no fuel! The cost is only the maintenance of the devices, which is considerably cheaper than the maintenance of the fees you'd otherwise incur.

I for one, would not like a metal rod stuck through my dick :o.  Just thinking about it makes it hard to breath

If you had an active girlfriend what would she think about it?

I still use my oxen and cart because cars are too easy. They're only for stupid little consumer whores who aren't as hardcore as me.

You might think this is funny, but at the elYsiun there is a person with the nickname "Oxman" who does exactly that. He lives in some kind of small group on a self-sufficient farm. Doesn't seem to be unhappy though, he has the internet.

But if there's one thing I can't stand, it's people who are so apathetic that they accept that Hollywood is going to shit without any major concern whatsoever.

If the world had the same attitude toward preventing pollution, world hunger, violence, and disease that you have toward preserving the sanctity of movies, humans would be set for a long time to come. 

DG, it goes without saying that you take your films a LOT more seriously than most people. I think it's obvious why he cares so little and you care so much.

I've been doing nearly nonstop research into free energy, magnetics, and gyroscopic motion lately.. for me it's like one brain orgasm after another, for all of the stuff I find. The flipside is the tendency I have to want to kill people because inventions aren't used. For example, US patent #2982261, an engine which runs on air. I read that it produces a lot of heat, but it's a genuinely working device that uses plain air as its only fuel. You could say the oil companies bought it out, but this thing was filed in the 50's, which means more than 20 years ago it was already public domain.

But anyway, I digress. I need an image harvestor that will pull images by name. The design is simple, the files are simply named US00001111_01.tif where the 00001111 is the patent number and the 01 is the page number. See, some of these are upwards of 30 pages and that's a lot of tif to save before I can get to reading.

Any ideas?

Most likely, there already is in filmclips... in the music itself, I don't think so. People might mention products in music but they probably don't get paid for it.

Lots of companies pay MTV to show music, they pay radio to play it (despite what you'd guess about licensing fees), and Fred Durst got famous by paying DJ's to play their music. Usually I think movies have to pay a fee to put music in, but it wouldn't be unheard of to hear of the opposite if it were a band that needed the publicity (though a name would need to be mentioned for it to have any forseeable commercial effect).

If you think that's something, you should see the nails I have driven through my scrotum.

I call it, "Frankenpenis."

Hardcore to the bone.

If I recall right, all of this is in the manual.

Actually, whether they have a calf or not, they'll continue to produce milk. They give them hormone shots so they will produce 10 times more milk than they would naturally and will do it without having had a calf. A lot of that, along with pus and a lot of antibodies that are slowly becoming less effective (because it's being given to you in your food when you don't need it) comes out in the milk. There have been few or no studies on the effects of these growth hormones on humans, so you're all human test subjects and you don't realize it. Go to notmilk.com.. even if you think that it's extremest to say that animals shouldn't be in factories, you should be able to realize why it's stupid to have a tradition of drinking cow milk in the first place. You know, we survived without it for a long time.. and the Orientals continue to do so with better health than us.

Animals are also given growth hormones so they will grow more meat and faster, so you're eating it in your meat too.

Give up the anti-veggie charade. It's healthier, it's totally plausible, and it's just dumb to taunt vegetarians with comments about how many animals YOU'RE going to eat to make up for it. I eat meat, but it's a matter of convenience more than want or need. If you knew everything that happened in that process you wouldn't think it so appetizing, assuming you aren't desensitized to it.

shit, this reminds me. I still owe C and LGM laptops

Haha, wasn't that more than a month ago??
