Hardware, Software, and Other Imperialist Crap / Hosting
« on: January 30, 2007, 02:45:18 PM »
Hey does anybody here work for a hosting company perchance? I'm finally getting around to coding for my domain name and am starting to look for a host. It'd be awesome if somebody I know works for/owns one but barring that does anyone know a company that is reasonably cheap and reliable?

Thanks for keeping the lasagna flying, and I hope you got the chance to read my thank you note before you headed off to join Malaclypse and all the others in slack eternal. I'm also pleased to see that Stang has picked up my idea to give you a halo of your own, you've earned it.

Entertainment / Godzillaaaa!
« on: December 28, 2006, 07:37:46 PM »
Anybody here a fan? Last night I rented the Anarchist Cookbook (awesome, almost a Fight Club companion movie), Hannibal, and Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, mistaking the latter for the oldschool one where the aliens make a robot Godzilla. It wasn't, and it was sort of disapointing in many ways. The effects worked too well, the dialogue lacked that AYB quality that I loved in the old ones, and the tech explanations made too much sense. What happened to 'Oxygen Destroyer rays' and 'Magnetic Rope'???

What'd you guys get for xMas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa/Festivus/whatever?

I got the Book of the Subgenius, Illuminatus!, a pile of puppets (?), a lot of candy and a little beer fridge.

Hardware, Software, and Other Imperialist Crap / Webcam
« on: December 15, 2006, 05:03:00 PM »
A friend of mine gave me this webcam a while ago because he lost the CD and, being a n00b, was unable to install it because the driver is weird or something. Anyway it's been under my desk now for a while and I'm interested in modding it so I can see in infrared, but I have no idea what brand it is, so I can't download a driver for it.

Does anyone know what model/company this webcam is? Sorry for the crap quality of the picture, but I only had another webcam to take it with.



UPDATE: I've discovered it is a Logitech product and am now proceding to search Google images to find the specific model...coolio points to anyone who can find it before I do.

Hardware, Software, and Other Imperialist Crap / Mailing Cheques

Does anyone know if I can mail a Canadian cheque to the states and have somebody cash it there, say to pay for a Subgenius Ordainment/Doktorate?

Hardware, Software, and Other Imperialist Crap / Nuclear Submarines
« on: November 12, 2006, 10:43:26 PM »
Sorry for bringing this up AGAIN but (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis) Wikipedia claims that subs DO use electroysis to produce oxygen for use underwater, despite what Demo says. Do they maybe carry other 'consumable' gases to mix with the oxygen with them? Was he thinking of older subs? Is Wikipedia wrong, and if so where did this weird myth come from? Did I create it and forget that I spread it all over the interweb? What were the X-files writers THINKING with the last couple of seasons?

Any help, professional or otherwise, would be greatly appreciated.

Anarchy / Doctor's note
« on: October 27, 2006, 04:32:40 PM »
Does anyone have a doctor's note sitting around that they feel like scanning for me? It doesn't have to have anything important on it, I just need to photoshop it so I can get out of work on saturday.

Hardware, Software, and Other Imperialist Crap / Website...forwarding?

How does one go about setting up multiple domain names that all reroute to a single site?

Hardware, Software, and Other Imperialist Crap / Mode of Transportation
« on: October 06, 2006, 06:36:20 PM »
I think I may purchase a vehicle as I'm growing tired of being hit by cars on my bike all the time and the winter is coming quickly. I'd like an older diesel van (mainly so that I won't mind if it is damaged slightly or what have you). Does anyone here know of (or have used at some point) a good model that meets these specifications?

Entertainment / Fight Club
« on: September 19, 2006, 12:15:39 AM »
I recently watched the DVD and discovered that yes, I am one of those people. I'm fixated with that movie, I think it's easily one of the smartest and coolest things I've ever seen. I spent the next 24 hours or so watching the DVD, then the commentaries, then I went frame by frame to catch all the Subliminal Tylers. The next day I borrowed the book from the guy who suggested I rent the movie, and it kicks ass as well.

Entertainment / Podcasts
« on: August 31, 2006, 01:05:01 AM »
I finished all the PLA podcasts last night and was wondering if anybody knows of any cool podcasts that feature phreaking and humour, that sort of thing? Preferably with a huge archive of shows so I don't need to wait a long time between episodes? Thanks in advance guys.

Mornin' folks, I'm Tachyon, and I hope I'll enjoy my stay here! I'm interested in programming, the Internets, writing, robotics, engineering, old TV, warez, phreaking, politics, anarchy, and various other decidedly geek topics.
