Rocket Punch

I love Eggs Commanchero and a bottle of Corona for breakfast. The F-24 looks pretty slick. I agree, I'd love for that to be a model or something.

SPOILERS You misunderstand. I'm not talking about the very ending of the movie when Rose and Cheryl walk into their house. I'm talking about the scene in the church when everyone gets their come-uppance. Bleh. And for a scary movie, I wasn't all that scared.

While not terrible, I really didn't enjoy this movie. They did a good job referencing many parts of the original game; especially in the first part of the movie as Rose is running through the Otherworld alley. They lifted the camera angles from the videogame for that scene. They did a good job of replicating Cybil. But something was off. The ending was God-horrible. Bleh. I'm so glad I snuck in a few pints of beer.

Besides the town Mamoru Oshii grew up in and its surrounding landscape, what real-life treaty was he inspired by while directing the film Jin-Roh?

Yeah, I read an artilce in the Los Angeles Times (I think) about "good looking" folks making more money than an "average looking" person in the same position.

Interesting, didn't know they had this planned. I can tell you it's in a pretty decent part of Long Beach. It's also not too far from Downtown Long Beach so it's great if you like to party.

Cosmology and particle physics What can the matter B? Apr 20th 2006 From The Economist print edition A new result bearing on the question of why the universe is made of matter THAT people exist is more than a marvel explained by evolution. The presence of stars and planets vital to life—the very being of matter itself—is a wonder. For, at the moment at which the universe was created, matter and antimatter, being equal and opposite, should have been produced in equal and opposite amounts. Since, as every schoolboy knows, when matter and antimatter meet, they annihilate each other in a burst of energy, the equal amounts of matter and antimatter should have annihilated each other long ago and the universe should now be filled with energy and little else, which is evidently not the case. So what happened? The key is that matter and antimatter are not, in fact, perfectly equal and opposite. In other words, they are not symmetrical—and that asymmetry favours matter. A few sources of asymmetry have already been found, but not enough to account for all the matter around. So physicists are eagerly seeking more, and two groups working at Fermilab, a particle-physics laboratory near Chicago, think they have found a candidate. Their experiments involve a group of particles called B-mesons. Quantum mechanics allows B-mesons to turn into their antimatter counterparts and back again, a process known as mixing. This mixing is described by some deft but complicated mathematics, and is crucial to the question of asymmetry. The frequency at which it happens is related to a small but significant difference between the mass of the particle and its antiparticle. The two experiments at Fermilab, each of which employed around 700 scientists from all over the world, have quantified the mixing process for a type of B-meson called Bs. The difference in mass between this particle and its antiparticle is greater than for other B-mesons studied to date, and so the frequency with which it oscillates is higher. The experiments found that Bs-mesons switch between being matter and antimatter some three trillion times a second. Zippy though this undoubtedly is, it is slower than some predicted, ruling out some of the more exotic theories of particle physics. But the measurement does confirm there is more asymmetry around than had previously been detected. So, while it cannot fully explain the imbalance between matter and antimatter, it is a step in the right direction.

LOL Dude kick back, I was just kidding!

I suppose the next logical question would be, bubble-butt girls aside, "Why don't you just go to a college that offers Aerospace Engineering?" and, "Do they have bars on campus?"

Oh, phew. I feel much better now. I love driving around the plant on my way to Signal Hill.

I can't find any this stuff on pouplarmechanics.com! Stop making stuff up!

Hey Phalanx, just curious, what college do you attend?

BEST. THREAD. EVAR!!!11!!

A little off topic: It doesn't carry missiles or have vulcan cannons or anything but... Long Beach Sends Off Last Boeing 717 I heard this ultimately means the plant will be shut down, which is sad considering its 60+ year history, plus all the folks who've worked there most of their lives losing their jobs.

Crazy dancing cellphone.

I read it. It was pretty good from what I can remember. It's about Eliot Ness's search for the Cleveland Torso Murderer. I saw a special about it (about the Torso Murderer, not the graphic novel) on A&E (I think). IIRC I think a studio is adapting the graphic novel into a feature film.

JUST STOP IT!!! STOP FIGHTING!!! Can't you see this thread is tearing us apart?!!!

And here I thought the speed of light was 670 million miles per hour. My entire world has come crumbling down. I just don't know what to believe in anymore!

She looks better in this pic.

The same ones who bought a 360 just for the next Halo game and the same ones that will buy the Revolution for their Zelda fix. There's only one thing that the console company really get. Consumer stupidity = More money. Mr. March, yep! I've not a single reason to 'upgrade' any of my AV equipment. Broadcast TV is crap. Sat. & Cable are nearly as bad and they are gouging the consumer by raising the rate charges. 392799[/snapback] Goddamn I love capitalism!

Interesting. Got any links?

When a man loves a woman Can’t keep his mind on nothin’ else He’d trade the world For a good thing he’s found If she is bad, he can’t see it She can do no wrong Turn his back on his best friend If he puts her down.

Woohoo! Next-gen power-sliding madness! 392403[/snapback] Only if it's better than Ridge Racer 6. And even then, not enough to sell me a system. 392729[/snapback] Who in their right mind would buy a PS3 because of RR7?

What's wrong with her face?

And have a good sense of humour. I thought it was hilarious. 392578[/snapback] Are kidding me? I mean it was a movie that featured mercenaries named after candy bars for God's sake. How very clever. I'm not saying "dumb" can't be funny. Hot Shots and Hot Shots: Part Duex were dumb movies but they were funny as well. I'm sorry but Hudson Hawk was just straight up dumb.
