This is a home video of the recent tsunami making landfall at Patong. It shows the scale of the wave as it washes through a bunch of trees and over a small building. Comments: 27   Hits: 112129   Points: 112393   Rating: 6.1 / 43   [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ]

Middle School Girls Gone Wild	the "other" pile
Link #124531 submitted by pdxpogo on Jan 4, 2007 06:04pm.   (+900XP) http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/29/opinion/29fri4.html?ex=157680000&...
It’s hard to write this without sounding like a prig. But it’s just as hard to erase the images that planted the idea for this essay, so here goes. The scene is a middle school auditorium, where girls in teams of three or four are bopping to pop songs at a student talent show. Not bopping, actually, but doing elaborately choreographed re-creations of music videos, in tiny skirts or tight shorts, with bare bellies, rouged cheeks and glittery eyes.     For a nation obsessed with punishing its sex offenders and finding entertainment while setting up stings of would be molester during "prime time" this plea for sanity from the Op-ED page of the NYT needs to be heard.

High-Definition too Graphic for Porn Industry?	the biz

Pornography has long helped drive the adoption of new technology, from the printing press to the videocassette. Now pornographic movie studios are staying ahead of the curve by releasing high-definition DVDs.     They have discovered that the technology is sometimes not so sexy. The high-definition format is accentuating imperfections in the actors - from a little extra cellulite on a leg to wrinkles around the eyes.     Am I a bad person because I find this hilarious?

A Chip That Can Transfer Data Using Laser Light	the wired

"Researchers plan to announce on Monday that they have created a silicon-based chip that can produce laser beams. The advance will make it possible to use laser light rather than wires to send data between chips, removing the most significant bottleneck in computer design     As a result, chip makers may be able to put the high-speed data communications industry on the same curve of increased processing speed and diminishing costs the phenomenon known as "Moore's law" that has driven the computer industry for the last four decades."

This is an invisible font designed to get around some VCD (click here for other VCD links.) menuing problems in Nero 5.5. Can also be used in any other program that automatically generates text you don't want to see. This font, when used in combination with the newest version of Nero, will allow you to bypass the built in menu generator and create your own menus in Photoshop.

"Just the stage setup of the electronic pop trio ZIA makes it clear these brainy earth babes are coming from a galaxy far, far away. And now they've got a boy, too: Geeky goth kid Matt Dallow recently joined "Blue Liz" Lysinger and founder Elaine Walker, who serves as president of the New York City Chapter of the National Space Society. Zia craft Hefty bags and duct tape into sexy stage wear, and use keyboards, pre-programmed drums, and various synthesized noises to jet-propel their songs about the big bang theory, supernovas, and being misunderstood for reading space zines. To trigger sounds, they hit rigged-up circuit boards or the buttons on some kind of homemade guitar . . . thing. When not appearing at an NYC nightclub, they wow crowds at science-fiction and space conventions around the country.
