I too would like to know this. Are you still waiting on some components before it's usable, Dorkman?

Trailer for The X-Files: I Want To Believe
no jokes, that's the title... You'd think that with a high budget they'd be able to think up a title that's not completely stupid...
I thought they did an excellent job of emulating the TV show. The rest of it's just typical teaser trailer fodder. And just in case you weren't aware:
The X-Files is ALL about the tie-ins.

If ever you needed a reason to hate Mac's;
I just got out of a university Computer Science exam in a module based on the internet, which generally involves a pretty broad range of topics but includes basic website development. The exam structure consists of 5 questions, of which you must answer 4, giving you a 1 question choice.
So we get into the exam, i take a look through the exam paper. Question 5 is on basic html, the easiest question in the paper by far, there's one pretty much every year, easy marks considering the others are things like email protocol response codes and hand-writing perl apps. There's a couple of small preliminary questions on q5, then this huge-mark final question that asks you to write out the html code for the following table, screenshot of said table to follow, but instead:
'Is this exam on the internet or something?' i hear you say. No, it's on paper. Funnily enough, i left my quicktime decompressor at home. The lecturer, a Mac user, obviously made the slides for the exam paper on his Mac using the powerpoint equivalent that uses quicktime compression on the media in the file, which when imported to windows is opened in PowerPoint, which doesn't support quicktime compressed media, and displays that fun little message, which someone obviously printed off without checking.
So the exam's started, the moderators find out, make a few calls, and decide the best course of action is for us to ignore the whole question and answer the other 4, voiding our 1 question optional choice, but more importantly taking the easiest question by far in the whole paper away from us. I answered it anyway and made up an example table, though i was tempted to just write 'you need quicktime and a decompressor to view this answer'.
What's worse, is that i'd emailed the lecturer about 4 days before the exam about this exact problem on the revision slides where the pictures didn't show up on windows. Worse still, the day before the exam, the website and sole resource for the lecture notes is down all day.

Nah, that's the instructor's fault. Though I wonder if there's a link; my professor kept doing these weird silly things with the computers in the classroom, both Windows and Mac, and he's primarily a Mac user.

I play D&D, but I'm not interested in an online campaign at the moment. Sounds cool, though, I hope it goes well for you.
I knew someone on here had to play. Well I'm glad I have a fellow player at least.

Heh... Oh well... I figured that might have happened. But a refresher for the ones that hadn't seen it isn't a bad thing...

So I was Clockwork Orange'd into watching the Clone Wars trailer.
Looks exactly as awful as I expected, with Saturday morning cartoon animation and all. Definitely not bothering in theatres.
