Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I already have a non-profit. I'm sure there's something in the mission statement about nuclear reactors for the underserved.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sorta' like Toys for Tots?

Nukes for Needy?

Nukes for Not-For-Profits?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Nukes for Nomads?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Stocking stuffer some folks here might like: [link]

t on edit err... I misread the price. At 50 quid, maybe not such a stocking stuffer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I like the tagline symmetry, DX.

Surely the process of liposuction isn't so carbon neutral.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hey, has anyone successfully gotten video off of a cable box via firewire? Or unsuccessfully, for that matter. I'm trying to figure it out [Motorola 3416 -> iRecord on Mac Mini, to be converted by iSquint] and it's not going exceedingly well.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You might be able to find something out by reading this thread on the AVS forum, but be aware that IME, about 80% of the people on AVS don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

I was able to get a little bit of video off of my box, but only for the network channels (scrambled cable channels wouldn't work), and I didn't think it was worth the effort.
