I watched "Alien vs. Predator" last night. That's a pretty shitty movie: whether you look at it as horror or action, it's incredibly by-the-numbers and boring. But it did inspire one very amusing thought: Aliens take on the form of the host prey, be it human or dog or Predator. Well, the temple/pyramid that our intrepid fodder team are ( Read more... )

I finally found the time to start remastering Knoppix 3.7.
