Easy. 9-11. EVERYTHING these days gets blown WAAY out of proportion. It's getting so I can't go to the grocery store, plant the pipe bomb and not be called a terrorist anymore. jeez...(I really, really am kidding about the pipe bomb....:)) Seriously, any odd occurence that happens these days...
Unfortunately, Sam's Club Bose Demonstrations. Or Walmart's Home Theater in a Box (whatever brand). There's one thing that really gets me going. We have a new Fry's here in Atlanta. Nice store. But the high end room is all bose and the demo room is the Denon's, onkyo's and harmon - Kardon...
Back to Ralf's accident. I think what's been missing from this discussion is the car. The Indy cars are designed to run on tracks where the sides are concrete. These cars are designed to break apart and disintegrate upon contact with the "wall", taking energy away from the driver. F1 cars...
All of the sites I've been reading the past couple of days are reporting that Ralf will miss France and GB. He really is hurt pretty badly. Nothing life threatening, of course, but don't play it down either. The concussion is the thing to watch. The back and neck bruises will be better in a...

I've had great success with their discs. You can get a 100 piece spindle pack of 2x generic discs for about $70. When I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago, shipping was free as well. Haven't burned a coaster yet.
edit: Oops, my bad. That's for DVD-R. The DVD+R discs...
Ron, I know you say you didn't want to pick a title to represent the forum, and I understand your reasons. If this is to be a forum represented title of the year, you pick your top 5 (or 10) and set up a poll for the month of January. let us vote our favorite and the winner at the end of...
The amazing thing about the precision isn't the shape of the base or perfection in the block alignments. Those are amazing feats of engineering, but the most amazing thing about it is the North-South alignment of the entire structure. The north-south faces are within 3/60ths of a degree from...
This is really cool. Thanks for this thread. I have 2 questions for him.
1. Has he had any contact with his college screenplay professor ( I think it's Bill Frick...) I had gotten to meet and talk with him at great length about 11 years ago. See my post at The Dark Star thread.... What a...
I have an interesting story about this one. While I was living in Jacksonville Beach in the early 90's, I was working in a small copy/printing shop. A man came in frequently to get copies made of a book he was working on about how to write screenplays. One conversation led to another and I...
I also highly recommend the Thomas Covenant Chronicles 1 & 2.
Day of the Cheetah...(Dale Brown?) If so, anything by him is also highly recommended. Start with Silver Tower. Then read Flight of the Old Dog, work your way from there. They all stand alone, but have recurring characters that...
Peter, try and reserve your hotel room NOW! I waited until June in 2000 and NOTHING was available. We ended up tent camping at a state park about 30 miles south of the city. Would have been fine except for the freakin' cold and rain Sat and Sun nights. Ended up in the truck Sun night. Had a...
Funny (yet a little scary) story about plows in Atlanta. Back in '87 we had quite a storm. Dumped 11" on us overnight. Around 10am-ish, I was watching the news and they were showing a plow on our perimeter highway I-285. He was on the inside lane going about 60mph or so. Basically, all he...
