GRIN.... (...) This is off topic for .debate... it belongs in .geek! C'mon guys! Now if you want to debate whether melting Mars is a good idea or not, that's different. :-) Personally I'm not sure it's a good idea, or necessary. There's plenty of (...)

(...) I think this may have been mentioned before somewhere on LUGNET, I forget. But at any rate it bears repeating, it's an amazing feat. I seem to recall it being said that (it being shot in one long take) that it took a lot of takes and this was (...) (21 years ago, 31-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)

| | Rube Goldberg Honda Ad
|

A friend of mine forwarded me this URL to a Honda Accord ad that is pretty cool. (URL) It's making me think that it might be fun to build something like this out of LEGO. It might be an interesting topic for a building competition: build the (...) (21 years ago, 31-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)

(...) Yes -- always an adventure. :) (...) It's not actually a good movie, per se. But it's worth watching if you're a geek. Which you are, so.... :) The Matrix thing was much more realistic technically. Heh. That sounds really funny to say, but (...) (22 years ago, 22-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Hey: I have some VHS videos I want to transfer/burn to VCD, SVCD, or possibly even DVD via a connection to a system running WinXP. What I need are hardware, software, and other resource recommendations. I recently acquired a new system that has a (...) (22 years ago, 21-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Too late: I told 'em. (...) I didn't say it was - I just thought it likely. But I'm not the average movie-goer (I actually sit through credits to see who did stuff on the film, anyway). (...)

(...) No way! It's not as fun and it doesn't allow me to make semi-obscure "door" references. And it's not as predictable as you seem to think. I know a lot of people who suggested watching all the way through the SW:TPM credits, and that was just (...) (22 years ago, 19-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
