Oak: About Bane... If you recall in Matrix 2, there was a scene where two people are in a room waiting for the phone call to exit the Matrix. One tells the other to go first because of the vital info he's carrying. Phone rings, one guy leaves. Just then, Agent Smith comes in and does his hand-in-the-gut/oilslick takeover for the first time on the other one. As soon as he transforms into the second Smith, the phone rings again and new Smith picks it up, transferring himself into the second guy's body. The second guy was Bane.

Ah, good ol' astrology... Still, even a broken clock is right twice a day... Except that the Sun was in Libra when I was born! :D--> (thx anyway, Ex!) Check the below chart for your true birth sign!

WayferNot: What, you've never seen the long, drawn-out, flashback-filled pontificating death speeches in Mobile Suit Gundam? Trin was positively chatty compared to some of those... :D--> No, she had to die so that Neo would have nothing left to live for but ending his mission. If he had held back, mankind would have lost.Yes, the white-haired man was the Architect from Reloaded. Remember also that Smith had assimilated the Oracle before assimilating Neo. I just assumed that together the two rewrote Smith's program and killed him. And I will agree with you on the Neo/Smith fight. They fly at each other really fast, hit so hard there's a big CGI shockwave, and... ...nothing really happens. So, they kung-fu for a while, then back off, fly at each other really fast, hit so hard there's a BIGGER CGI shockwave, and... ...nothing really happens. Repeat twice more. Come ON, Wachowskis!

Rottie: Alas, it would never work between us... my seven cats and your Rottweilers would not be a good mix. Except for Buster. He loves everybody. Oh well... :D--> There might just be a signature in here ==> But not today...try again tomorrow!

What the Architect said was: (swipe your mouse over to see) Okay, it was that the Oracle SAID he said it, but what she relayed to Seraph was that the Architect agreed to release any human who WANTED to get out of the Matrix. BIG difference. It's a choice, you see... :)--> Would you really want to eat that watery oatmeal crap from Matrix I in run-down Zion when you could have that steak Cypher was chowing down on when he met with Smith in the Matrix?

Thanks, kind folks!

SPOILER ALERT! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . YOU WERE WARNED. SPOILERS FOLLOW. That's NOT what he said, go back and watch it again. No, that's just how things work in Japanese anime, which the Wachowskis were quite influenced by.As for the other stuff, --EMP weapons have a definite range. The Osiris couldn't have just wasted them all with one shot. They also have a definite fratricide effect--that's why Bane screwed them all when he EMPd the Zion fleet. --The machines would have strip mined all useful nuclear materials before going to the human battery bank, so no H-bombs. --You can't get any sort of useful energy from lightning. It's too sporadic. --Neo has been the Messiah in the whole series, so the ending was completely in character for him. Don't like it? Write a better one! Nanowrimo is underway, after all... Anyone else see the new posters for next summer's Alien vs. Predator?

You guys are nuts. Revolutions kicked the living snot out of Reloaded. I'm just glad they got all that (ok, well most all) interminable philosophy out of the way in #2. Yes, they could have fleshed out a bit more of the Smith/Machine plot thread, but still...this was an action movie for cryin' out loud! Sew your balls back on and quit whining! :D-->

Remember also that the Research Department did an awful lot of writing for VPW, so it's possible JCNG wasn't plagiarized to the same extent as PFAL or RHST.

QT wrote and directed Reservoir Dogs, btw...

For a little light Halloween reading, try H.P. Lovecraft... :D--> "The Thing On The Doorstep" is a really creepy short story, for example. Or "At The Mountains Of Madness"...

"Ring" was pretty good for a modern horror flick. The new theatrical release of "Alien: The Director's Cut" would be a good Hallo-flick, too.

You forgot one: 11. Under no circumstances sneak off to have sex.

Oh, yes...The Prisoner... "Where am I?" "In the Village." "What do you want?" "Information." "Which side are you on?" "That would be telling. We want information. Information. Information!" "You won't get it!" "By hook or by crook, we will." "Who are you?" "The new Number 2." "Who is Number 1?" "You are Number 6." "I am not a number! I am a free man!" "Ahahahahahahahaha!..."

Reverend Platig: You see full well your future at the hands of The Way International. Cancer, Alzheimer's, whatever the eventual affliction the Adversary may choose to visit upon you, you see the path laid out for you. You cannot be blind enough not to see it, since you now take responsibility for laying that path brick by brick. It is common knowledge how legalistic you have allowed your ministry to become. Jesus' words to the similarly-minded Pharisees would give a normal man pause to regret his actions, lest the woe Christ spoke of fell upon him.There is your path, sir. It is the Way that you have made. Bon voyage.

That's true. I managed to get the Aramaic Interlinear complete set, minus one volume, for a quite reasonable price from some nice folks at Waydale. Now, I understand, it's one of the big-ticket eBay items, but I doubt I'll sell.

actually, you want to be THE 349th reply to be THE 350th post...

you mean THE #350th post...

If you right-click on any web page, you should be able to see an option called "View Source" which lets you see the actual HTML that makes up the page. So, I took a look at their sample. The problem with Excel Everywhere is that, although the forms are pure HTML and do not require the viewers to have Excel installed on their machine, the example given uses a Microsoft Front Page web-bot to do the actual email processing of the form. If you do not control your own web server (which has to be Windows NT/2000/2003 to use MS Front Page extensions--the Unix ones are flaky at best) you are out of luck--it won't work.

Nope, apparently only Samson can talk to Management. I still have a sneaking suspicion that "Management" is supposed to be God, since Brother Justin is just too creepy to be working for the true God.

Excellent it is. Rafael's just being modest.

Of course, but since there were externally-hosted pictures on several hosts, it wasn't as simple as that. ...scratching the itch of the mortal unknown...
