Buster's "Sugartime" has played, what do you think?

Wed Feb 02, 2005 at 07:03:19 PM PDT

Update [2005-2-12 18:5:29 by doug r]:"Sugartime" was shown as scheduled on Friday-unfortunately I had to work at the time. What did you all think?
KCTS Television has decided it will broadcast the "Sugartime" episode of the PBS series Postcards from Buster on Friday, February 11 at 4:30pm.  Our sister station KYVE in Yakima will also air the episode at that time.The episode had originally been scheduled to air on February 2, but PBS withdrew the program from the national schedule in response to concerns expressed by some over the content of the program.  KCTS was not consulted in this decision.  Subsequently, WGBH in Boston, which produces the series, announced it would make the program available to public television stations directly if they wished to broadcast it independently of PBS.

Star Wars Christmas Special

Fri Dec 24, 2004 at 06:26:39 PM PDT

Tom Tomorrow has found this Holiday treat for you at I'm Just Sayin'

I was "fortunate" enough to receive a bootleg DVD copy of this special as an early Christmas gift. The reason it's a bootleg and a "Holy Grail" of sorts is because Lucas has forbid this special to ever officially see the light of day again. After watching it, I can see why: I have never screamed "Make It Stop! Make It Stop! Make It Stop!" more in my life.

This has been bugging me

Sun Dec 19, 2004 at 10:30:06 AM PDT

Why do so many people get so upset at the mere mention of OHIO coupled with diary and VOTE and umm...., oh the "f" word FRAUD.
You know what, there's going to be an inauguration on January 20, 2005.
Then we'll all have some time to get "over it." That is, until the mid-term elections in 2006...

This site is about discussion, arguement and often consensus.
I think our response should be this

Tintin goes to the neurologist

Tue Dec 07, 2004 at 06:45:24 PM PDT

Saw this story in The Globe and Mail, and I found the link for the original CMAJ Journal- It would appear that a trio of intrepid Canadian researchers have discovered the secret of Tintin's agelessness:

Acquired growth hormone deficiency and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in a subject with repeated head trauma, or Tintin goes to the neurologist

We describe the unique case of a public figure who is well known for having delayed pubertal development and statural growth (Fig. 1). We believe we have discovered why Tintin, the young reporter whose stories were published between 1929 and 1975, never grew taller and never needed to shave.

Every 3-5 years, a federal election is called in Canada.

If You Can Read This Diary, You Can Hack Diebold

Sun Nov 07, 2004 at 11:35:53 AM PDT

Turns out the Diebold system is so easy to hack, if you can get your Windows machine to go online, YOU can hack their system. Excellent article in Wired:
In January 2003, voting activist Bev Harris was holed up in the basement of her three-story house in Renton, Washington, searching the Internet for an electronic voting machine manual, when she made a startling discovery. Clicking on a link for a file transfer protocol site belonging to voting machine maker Diebold Election Systems, Harris found about 40,000 unprotected computer files. They included source code for Diebold's AccuVote touch-screen voting machine, program files for its Global Election Management System tabulation software, a Texas voter-registration list with voters' names and addresses, and what appeared to be live vote data from 57 precincts in a 2002 California primary election.
