Crunch time!

If Makelele isn't available, I can fill in, next to Toulalan.

Best meme ever

pjones says:

You are in a mall when zombies attack. You have:
1. One weapon
2. One song blasting on the speakers
3. One famous person to fight along side you.

Pretty straight forward:

1. Pump-action shotgun, plenty of ammo
2. Could have been Rob Zombie, or Zombie by the Cranberries, but it's White Zombie's The One (from the Escape from L.A. soundtrack)
3. Seth Gecko, Clooney's character in From Dusk Till Dawn (even though he killed vampires then, he looks like he could handle it)

Update: Planets seem to be removing the nice little video. So here goes the direct link to enjoy White Zombie's fury.

Whaaaaaappaaawooo! Shoof shoof!

My good friend told me two years ago that I should “check out the cast and
director it's a forgotten gem”. His words.

I rented the DVD, and here's my checklist:

• Badly dubbed, check.
• Grainy picture, worse than a VHS, check.
• Bad translations (they call each sister and brother, when they're married, or cousins...), check.[1]
  
• Incomprehensible story line, check.
• Powerful enemies bringing you to a netherworld like in X-Or, check.
• Dodgy sound effects, and badly timed ones, check.
  

The film is called “Deadly Snail vs. Kung Fu Killers” in one version, and “Deadly Snake Versus Kung Fu Killers” in other one. Confusing as hell. I still don't know who's supposed to be the snake/snail or the kung-fu killers.

I hate you Rog.

[1]: See also, John Woo's The Killer, french DVD version, where the translations and the dubbing don't match.

More chpe rocking!

GNOME hero Christian Persch did it again. He removed all the Mozilla-specific code from Totem's web browser plugin, meaning it should now work with WebKit. All the code's in totem trunk.

The movie trail

3 evenings, 3 films, and all connected.

Day 1, Inside Man: When there's blood on the streets, buy property.
Day 2, The Corporation: The corporation of that sort is the proto-typical of a psychopath.
Day 2, Twelve Monkeys: But if you don't buy a lot of stuff, if you don't, what are you then, I ask you? What? Mentally *ill*. Fact, Jim, fact.

All three come highly recommended.

Wheepee! Yay! Whoohoo!

Update: Found in the comments of this story on OSNews (the title certainly caught my eye), this image:

Thanks kernel people

Whoever is responsible for making the rt73usb driver work great out of the box: THANK YOU. I tried it without success when I installed Fedora 8 gold, and now it works brilliantly (and out-of-the-box) on Fedora 9.

Current hacking includes: GPRS/3G support via Bluetooth in NetworkManager, fprintd hacking, and gnome-lirc-properties integration into Fedora (Debian and Ubuntu people, upstream your bleeding patches, kthx).

And for nanobob and Borkis on FIFA: you really didn't need to quit the game when I scored those 2nd goals. Losing against a guy full of margaritas must hurt.
