How to handle internet scammers: the Powerbook prank

I found this linked from a picture at Ars Technica.

CLICK HERE to read a somewhat PG-13 rated account of one man’s quest to stick it to a London scammer.  Hilarious.  We should ALL be so smart when it comes to dealing with this kind of crooked crap.

Turkish Star Wars = Why I LOVE the Internet?

Haven’t had a chance to watch this in all its 91 minute, subtitled glory… but I WILL.  The power of the dark crappy side compels me…

Description from Google Video:

Turkish-made film commonly known as Turkish Star Wars because of its notorious bootlegging of Star Wars film clips worked into the film. Released in 1982, Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam was created in Turkey caught in the midst of massive political upheaval. As a result, American-made films were not easily acquired and were often remade with a Turkish cast and setting. The musical soundtrack is entirely lifted from Western film hits of the time, primarily using Raiders of the Lost Ark. There are also scenes incorporating the music of Moonraker, Flash Gordon, Battlestar Galactica, Planet of the Apes and Disney’s The Black Hole. Films considered the worst ever…

Half-Life 2 update:

Some thoughts from my recent playthrough of Half-Life 2 (still in progress):

– I hate fast zombies. More than headcrabs, manhacks, and antlions put together.

– I wish I had a gravity gun. Since they don’t exist (yet,) I’d settle for a laser-guided RPG. How about it, Santa?

– I know a few kids who would stay in line if I had some antlion pheropods. Mwa, ha, haa…

– BUDDHA is my friend.

– This is an absolutely amazing game. Still. The SOURCE engine continues to amaze me with its balance of realism and performance. The level design, art design, animation, sound design, scripting, and pretty much everything else combine to make this game the gold-standard which ALL adventure-FPS games should aspire to. And it still threatens to empty my bladder/bowels from time to time.

More later. Still have a few more levels to play through. Right now I’m having trouble figuring out the best places to put my sentry guns to keep the Combine from storming my cell block and pwning my arse…
