Just saw the first (AND ONLY) Matrix movie. Woah. He knows kung fu.

I just bought the third and final matrix movie.   :P
Animatrix doesn't count? As far as I've been told, it's better than Reloaded and Revolutions.

So is getting your dick torn off in a tragic electric toothbrush accident.

Anyway, as for Whoas: The USB Death Cart.

a little wheely hand cart with a a USB and Power connection... on the cart is 256 different USB devices (chained hubs, mice, keyboards, headphones, memory sticks, etc. etc.). a USB port is only supposed to support 255 devices...

You plug it into power for the hubs to power all the devices, then plug the USB cable into a PC, and see if it survives without a BSOD or worse.

I just noticed how much the shard looks like the Eye of Mordor or the tower from Half Life 2.

For comparison:

The shard looked much more impressive when you stand at the base of it.

For me it's when it's in the distance, towering over the mere mortals toiling beneath its baleful gaze. When you're stuck in a traffic jam because *more roadworks* looking up at it, it gets associated more with the pangs rather than the awe of industry.

Spoiler: Abandoned buildings in and around Norilsk, Russia (click to show/hide)
This is an ideal set for a film adaptation of Metro 2033.

this means that a donation of 30 dollars to a developer that did not deliver would equal 4.769*10^-14 hitlers stolen from you
that's like half a femtohitler
and that is terrible

Metro 2033's being made into a film?

So it might.

Gotta love me some abandoned buildings.
