  Wonderfull!
 
Great pics! I love pretty much all celestial fireworks. They make me feel very small and insignificant, and that's always a good thing! More people should pay attention to astronomy. It definitely whacks me on the side of the head with the proper (...) (20 years ago, 29-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Anyone seen the LEGO 65537 at hobby shops yet?
 
(...) Yep, 65537 in hexadecimal is 10001... I wonder if we'll see others in this number range? Mark (20 years ago, 29-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Transient Lunar Phenomenon
 
(...) I watched the whole thing all night long with some friends, It was astounding! :-Devin (20 years ago, 28-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)
 
  Re: TV-B-Gone
 
(...) I saw it... and yet... Yes, I can understand hating TV. But in your own home, you have your own remote, so you don't need this. In a public place, isn't it the proprietor's privilage to choose what, if anything, is on? Can you imagine the riot (...)

  TV-B-Gone
 
My dad told me about this a few days ago, and Jake just blogged it. (URL) can't wait to get mine. I hate those dang idiot boxes. -Tim (20 years ago, 28-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: iMac
 
(...) Oh, I assumed as much. I mean, I've been using Linux as my primary desktop for long enough that having things break does actually surprise me. I think the only times I messed up my desktop was when messing with the (proprietary) video (...) (20 years ago, 21-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: iMac
 
(...) OS-X is awesome. At least I think so... :) In 1.5 years of using OS-X I've had 1 (count em folks only one) kernel panic[1]. Very stable OS. I'm coding against J2SE 1.4.1 on a lowly iMac G3 (using Project Builder, not even XCode) and I'm very (...) (20 years ago, 21-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Universal Universal remote
 
My iPaq has NEVO remote software that will allow you to control just about anything (except, apparently, the Mindstorms RCX). I have it set up for several tv's in local restaurants because they are always too loud or showing something meaningless (...) (20 years ago, 21-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Sonar question
 
(...) If you saw the world in sound waves, then yes, you could see them. A bat can pinpoint objects smaller than a fly and at speeds that the human eye has trouble being able to track. Not because light is faster than sound, which it is not, but (...) (20 years ago, 20-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
