Random Crap:
VLC Media Player 0.8.4 is out! It’s my backup player when Media Player Classic doesn’t work, since it seems the best at playing random crap, but has a somewhat bad user interface. The preference and option settings always take me forever to figure out what to do, but one great thing about it is you can play xvid or divx files before they finish downloading, which most players can’t.
Cute Calendar Puppies (from cari and decathanerd)
Canvascape – 3D walker (from /.) – Apparently Firefox, Opera, and Safari supports this canvas drawing layer and this person managed to write a simple FPS (first person shooter) out of it. It’s pretty neat. No need for flash or any other external plugin. Does not work in IE6.
Hands-on: Sony PSP Talkman – Translate, Speak & Learn English/Japanese/Chinese/Korean (from deadlock) – check out the commercial videos of this new PSP game. Wouldn’t really call it a game. It’s more like a translator/english learning software.
These video links might not work, so you might want to visit the article above and look for the video links there:
No-Flush Urinals Just Waiting for Plumbers (from /.) – I’ve actually never knew waterless urinals existed. I did know that urinals with 2 settings for flushes existed. A half flush for pee and a full flush for poop. But check out what a waterless urinal looks like: Waterless. You can see a simple diagram of how it works here. Seems like an intriguing idea and places have already started implementing these. The flush-free fixtures hanging on the restroom wall look good. The place smells good. The users’ reviews sound good. … Conservationists say the average no-flush urinal can save as much as 24,000 gallons of water a year. They say that the liquid sealant keeps dangerous bacteria as well as bad smells from the restroom without a need for water. Plumbers on the other hand are arguing because of sanitary reasons, waterless urinals aren’t that great of a choice, but that could also be because they might be losing a lot of customers if everyone takes the waterless urinal route, putting many of them out of work.
Strictly Reptiles, Inc. (from deadlock) – has some cute pictures of baby reptiles.
Life of Larry (Part 1 / Part 2) – a college film of Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family Guy. You could clearly see where some of the ideas for Family Guy comes from.
Apparently they’re making a Dead or Alive movie based on the popular game. It’s called DOA: Dead or Alive (from fuzzywuzzy). You can watch the trailer here. The trailer makes it look pretty bad right now, but you know fans of DOA are going to go watch it anyway.
Great scare reaction (from deadlock) – a hilarious attempt to scare a trick or treater and he got so scared, he retaliated.
Baltimore Losing Light Poles to Thieves – City streets are getting darker because thieves, some disguised as utility crews, are stealing 30-foot light poles, authorities said. About 130 aluminum light poles have vanished this fall from locations across the city, despite the difficulty of carting off the 250-pound objects.
Man Cuts in Line, Is Wrestled to Ground – Security guards wrestled a man to the ground in a Wal-Mart after he cut in line to get laptop computers that were on sale Friday, a television station reported. The man started arguing with people inside the store, WFTV-TV in Orlando reported. He then started fighting with the guards, the station reported. One man told WFTV that the laptops were being thrown into the air and people rushed toward them, collapsing on each other. Another man described the scene as crazy.
Vt. Teacher Accused of Anti-Bush Quiz – One example: “I wish Bush would be (coherent, eschewed) for once during a speech, but there are theories that his everyday diction charms the below-average mind, hence insuring him Republican votes.” “Coherent” is the right answer.
Clerk Refuses to Call Police After Robbery – A woman who was robbed at knifepoint while pumping gas into her church’s van couldn’t believe it when the gas station attendant refused to call police for help. … The gas station’s manager said he was sorry about the robbery, but clerks at the station do not make emergency calls from the front counter, fearing retaliation for criminals. Sigh… What has this world come to?
Woman gives new meaning to “fast food” – A day before millions of Americans sit down to eat traditional Thanksgiving dinners, a Virginia woman grabbed the world turkey-eating title on Wednesday by gobbling down a whole roast bird in 12 minutes.
Car stolen? Who you gonna call? – Albanians are so sick of police doing nothing about the theft and hijacking of luxury cars that they’ve taken to setting up their own informal networks of hot-lines and roadblocks. … Using mobile phones, three cars homed in on the late-model limousine from different directions while an unofficial road block was set up near the northern town of Lezhe. The car-jackers saw the private roadblock, got out and took off, the Gazeta Shqiptare newspaper said. That’s great community effort. If the government isn’t going to do anything about it, then maybe it’s time to take it into our own hands.
NES Lock (from deadlock)
Apparently these were sold to parents who wanted their kids off the nintendo game console before finishing their homework. Wonder what was wrong with just taking the power cable.
Street Fighter Salsa (from deadlock) – Ryu and Chung Li go at it…salsa style. A really cool video of 2 dancers dressed up as street fighter characters doing the Salsa. They even insert their own characters trademarked stances once in awhile. Pretty neat!

Xbox 360 day 2: component costs and crashes – First up, market research firm iSuppli, best known for taking apart consumer electronics to determine how much they cost to manufacture, has disassembled an Xbox 360. The verdict? Microsoft is taking a bath on the hardware, to the tune of US$126 for each high-end Xbox 360 sold. The ATI-made graphics processing unit alone is estimated to cost US$141 (including the RAM) while the IBM Xenon CPU accounts for another US$106. … We’ve been getting e-mails today from users experiencing problems with their new Xbox 360s., and a scan of gaming news sites and forums shows that we’re not alone. The most common problem appears to be overheating, with crashes and hard drive problems close behind. One video circulating shows one of the more common crashes, with the console going belly-up while running Project Gotham Racing 3. Owners report that the crashes and error messages do not seem to be confined to a single title or scenario.
