Geeky Links

iwz by iwz · Jan 14, 2002 · Links · 323 views

First set of links in a while, and since lately I've been more geeky than usual, all of these links are very geek-related. Of course, there are quite a few geeks that visit eZabel, so, you should all enjoy this, right?!

  • Star Trek: The Next Generation is being released onto DVD with full Dolby 5.1! So awesome. A great present for any Star Trek fan, as ST:TNG is, IMO, the best of the Treks.

  • The Rio Riot is a brand new portable MP3 jukebox, holding 20GBs of music. This thing is supposed to be better than Apple's iPod, and knowing Rio (makers of the awesome Rio Volt), I wouldn't be surprised if it was very close to doing that.

  • What do you get when you mix alcoholism with a scientist? Beer Gum!

  • Be your own Mr. Wizard! Tons of cool science expiriments here.

  • Top Coder is a new website where you compete against others by trying to write the best code (Java or C++), as well as debugging others' code. Cash prizes from Sun!

Ok, well, that's all for now. Except for this last one which is not so much geeky as just plain cool. The newest Stick Figure Fighting movie!

Where is www.slashdot.org in there? You have forsaken it! You are not really a geek! You impostor! All geeks go there and thus if u dont u are not truly a geek.

imagine taking a breathalizer test after some of that beer gum! sheesh, we'd all be in the slammer, without drivers licenses. Field Service would be so hard! First we'd have to walk everywhere, and second, no one would listen to us, cause we'd smell like we've been boozin'.

I wonder if you can blow beer bubbles with it? And what if you mix, say, a piece of Khalua with a piece of Vodka, do you get a White Russian?

haha, I love red dwarf. I used to watch it on PBS when I was younger, and I just assembled a(n almost) complete collection of every episode. (downloaded off the internet and on CD) can't wait to finish watching them all.

I learned what bangers and mash was by watching Red Dwarf

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001 deanh77

Bangers and Mash is sooo good, especially this nice little pub across the street of the Royal Courts of London, I think it was called the "The Albert" They made the best bangers and mash I ever had....mmmmmm bangers and mash...mmmmmmmm (The gravy is the best part)

N
nine9starOG 2001 g.f.s.rocks

mhm - i just put a few tsp of bisto in a cup with a bit of cold water, mix it to a paste, then add to a pan and heat, gradually stir in the meat stock and or veg juice (water if you havent any) making sure the bisto does not congeel (sp) then mix it all together and bring to the boil and simmer for 3-5 mins - SIMPLE :D lol
