Comment Whitehouse.com anyone? (Score 1) 272

I took high school in the late 90s. Our teacher of was giving the class instructions on how to use the internet to look things up, view websites ect. and the whole class was following along as her screen was projected on the wall screen. We were on the subject of government websites and she typed in 'www.whitehouse.com'. And there is a picture of a look alike Bill Clinton, a blond bombshell to the left and a hot brunette to the right, nude licking the side of his face with his man-hood in hand. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitehouse.com

Submission + - Facebook offers easy commenting alternative (wired.com) 1

Spice Consumer writes: Facebook has just unvield a "...new system (that) lets website owners replace their current commenting system with Facebook’s simply by dropping in a few lines of Javascript." How widely adopted this new system becomes could greatly affect Facebook's already entrenched position on the web and further compromise individual user's privacy.

"There was nothing in Number 92 but a standard Hitachi pocket computer and a small white Styrofoam cooler chest. The cooler contained the remains of three ten-kilo slabs of dry ice, carefully wrapped in paper to delay evaporation, and a spun aluminum lab flask. Crouching on the brown temerfoam slab that was both floor and bed, Case took Shin's .22 from his pocket and put it on top of the cooler. Then he took off his jacket. The coffin's terminal was molded into one concave wall, opposite a panel listing house rules in seven languages. Case took the pink handset from its cradle and punched a Hongkong number from memory. He let it ring five times, then hung up. His buyer for the three megabytes of hot RAM in the Hitachi wasn't taking calls." - Neruomancer

Even if they do manage to get this portion of Craigslist shutdown, how quickly will it be until another one of these sites pop up?

Anyone else seeing a pattern here? I mean they made a big deal about Napster, had their 15 minutes of fame but that hasn't really stopped anything. I don't recall ever hearing about court cases, for Kazza, Frostwire, LimeWire, Edonkey ect.

About: The Hunt For Gollum is an unofficial not for profit short film by a group of enthusiast filmmakers. As a Lord of the Rings Fan Film, we are not affiliated with the Tolkien Estate or New Line Cinema and are producing this project as an entirely non commercial film. As with other fan films we are making this purely for the enjoyment of the material and the experience of making a high quality low budget film.

Plot: The script is adapted from elements of the appendices of The Lord of the Rings. The story follows the Heir of Isildur; the "greatest huntsman and traveller in Middle Earth" as he sets out to find the creature Gollum. The creature must be found to discover the truth about the Ring, and to protect the future Ringbearer.

Stats: 40 minute independent film inspired by The Lord of the Rings which is to be released to the internet for free on May 3 2009. Production began in early 2007 when writer-director Chris Bouchard started adapting the script from the Appendices of The Lord of the Rings. Since then, the first three days of filming were completed in September 2007 on location in N Wales.
