5/16 What is the best movie theatre in the Bay Area to watch Star Wars I in?
\_ i heard yermoms house is THX compliant
\_ Haven't been there, but try the new Century 25 in Union City.
Opened last week. All THX screens.
\_ Or closer to Berkeley is Jack London Cinema (in Jack
London Square, of course).
London Square, of course). Valorum gets voted out
\_ Jack London sucks. Drive a bit and go to a nice place like
Concord or Dublin. If you're willing to be psycho about a
movie, then a 45 minute drive to have a better experience
won't kill you.
\_ I hear that Jack London doesn't have Dolby,
just THX. Emeryville I think is putting in the

new Dolby EX for Star Wars. Jack London has
the best seats. Rumor has it that Corte Madera
is getting the new Digital Projector, and the
new Dolby, cuz Lucas watches stuff there...
\_ JLS seats suck. Too stiff. 1000 Van Ness
seats rock.
\_ Dublin?? If you're out there, just go to Blackhawk.
\_ I'm closer to Blackhawk. Dublin is better. |

5/17 Tired of the marketing lies on microsoft's (or your competitor's)
web site? Put in your own opinions, for others to see! ThirdVoice
finally goes public with their software product. Check it out and
come see the formerly secret new product I've been working on.
<DEAD>www.thirdvoice.com<DEAD> The thirdvoice browser plugin is MSIE4 only, on
NT/95 of course. -ERic Anakin wins the race
\_ Discussion about <DEAD>www.thirdvoice.com<DEAD> web site being designed by
idiots censored by thirdvoice employees who don't want people

to know that no one in their company can actually test their
work.
\_ dude, get a decent browser
work. Episode II is a love story.
\_ Just viewing the web page requires MSIE? Your
web designers are complete idiots. It takes
two seconds to put the style sheet inside
<!-- --> tags so it won't show up on browsers
like netscape 3. (See www.csua for instance).
This isn't hard or secret - it's recommended
in every guide to CSS style sheets. Remember
designing web pages that are only usable in
certain browsers is the same as saying "Fuck
you - we don't need your business" to everyone
else - not a good way to start a company.
\_ dude, get a decent browser (Obi-wan kills Darth Maul)
\_ Sigh... look, it's a new product, a new company, and I'm
sorry your old browser isn't supported. I won't address
the censorship claim. The motd is world writable and gets
regularly scrubbed by numerous people. Your comments
regarding the tags have already been passed along to people
in the company who can do something about it. I'm certain
it will be taken care of ASAP. Thank you for taking the

\_ oh yeah, its MSIE4 only, on NT/95 of course. bleah
\_ looks great in non-stylesheet browsers since they didn't hide
the stylesheets in HTML comment tags. Try getting some
web designers who know what they're doing and how to test
with something other than the latest versions.
\_ Uhm whatever. I think you missed the point. Can you not
understand "MSIE4 only" and "NS coming soon"? -not ERic
\_ Hey, looks ok to me. I dunno what crap you're running but
tough shit for using an ancient piece of shit client. Join

Third Voice with ERic) Anakin wins the race
\_ oh yeah, its MSIE4 only, on NT/95 of course.
\_ I like the stupid banner ad on <DEAD>www.thirdvoice.com<DEAD> that
says "Click here to download the software" and that takes you
to the same damn page when you click on it. Perhaps your
company should invest in testing.
\_ And software engineers that can do anything besides MS
code. But that's another story...
\_ And of course, the coolest thing about ThirDvoice is it can make
anybody's web page as full of stupid and inane comments as the motd!
\_ Hey, let's make this MOTD thirdvoice-compliant!

Palpatine, the future Emperor, is also Darth Sidious. Anakin is

that neither of *them* have *ever* been found vulnerable to

Senator Palpatine is really Darth Sidious |

5/17 I missed X-Files. Can I borrow a tape from someone? -chiapet
\_ http://www.xfiles.com
\_ Anybody notice that Scully was thinner and prettier in X Files
the movie than in the last few TV episodes? I think she put
on some weight. --ano x-phile
\_ tv makes her look a little plump, but in reality she's
really rather skinny.
\_ Scully used to be quite attractive, but now she seems to
have taken on a more *star* attitude. Her clothes are too
stylish/revealing and she is wearing too much makeup. I
personally prefer the *geeky* Scully of past years.
\_ I love the new slutty Scully. |

5/17 So anybody paid 500+ bucks to watch Star Wars this weekend? How
was it?
\_ And please no spoilers (even fake ones in jest, please).
\_ It was NOT in jest. Gawd damnit! Quit deleting my spoilers!
\_ Darth Vader becomes a cute little kid.
\_ Obi-wan kenobi becomes an obnoxious twenty-something loser
\_ Yoda's still older than dirt & looking like a muppet
\_ "When 900 years old you reach look as good you will not!"

has been encased in carbonite for all eternity,
according to sources close to George Lucas. |

5/17 Support Gas Out day tomorrow. Bike or take public transport.
<DEAD>www.gasout.org<DEAD>
\_ was it that gas rose +7 points in the consumer price index
or that the CPI rose 7 points because of high gas prices?
(yes, the CPI is the reason everyone is screaming inflation now)
\_ oil and gas contributed to most of CPI increase. That was
expected. Anyone can tell you that gas prices were sky high
last month. The big question is, has the market discounted
a likely increase in rates? Will Big Al send the market
into a tail-spin tomorrow? |
