Classic. David Mamet does Hal

Classic. David Mamet does Hal & Dave in 2001.


Hal: Don't tell me you're mad now. I told you, that was a... I was having fun with you. You know. As a...


Bowman: It's just... how do I say this. These dead crewmembers.


Hal: I don't follow you.


Bowman: These crewmembers here that were in cryogenic suspension. That are now dead.


Hal: Oh yes. That was self-defense.


Bowman: Hal, look at me. What am I, a fucking idiot? They were in cryogenic suspension, for God's sake.


Hal: They were coming at me with a knife. Extremely... slowly.

There are some WEIRD TV

There are some WEIRD TV shows in Japan. I really don't get why people would a) go on these shows or b) enjoy watching them. But I don't like embarassment / humiliation humour in general, so.

So, I finally got dvd

So, I finally got dvd playing to work under linux with my hardware decoder. Turns out all I had to do was: recompile my kernel; download and compile xine-lib and xine-ui, dxr3, a deCSS plugin for xine, and libdvdread; and reload the dxr3 modules about a dozen times to get the module parameters correctly.


And people say linux is hard to use.

The preceding complaint brought to you by about a day's worth of futzing. I know this is what you get when you use bleeding edge stuff like DVD on linux, but it still sucks.
