   When I was growing up, a friend of mine actually had to pay a guy in the US to tape all the episodes and mail over the VHS tapes to us in Europe. (German TV showed the shows years later, cut out a couple of minutes to fit their schedule, du

   On a related note: I'm looking for a command line utility (*nix) to go the other way. Any recommendations for a tool which extracts text from a PDF?

    Don't use iTunes for that. StreamToMe and AirVideo both convert and stream basically anything. (As far as I know, StreamToMe uses ffmpeg internally to make the conversion on the fly.) I don't even bother with syncing video content anymore.

    I wonder if having to manually launch the puzzles show() method is part of the puzzle itself or just a bug. (Checked with Chrome 9 and Firefox 3).

    You should probably mention, that this Javascript-based DHTML-version is from 2004. I remember being completely amazed seeing that. Javascript was so much harder back then.

    The collision detection of the dots needs some work. Interestingly, the javascript physics engine moving the dots (box2Djs) is based on a flash library (box2Dflash). You may now offer your own interpretation of that fact depending on your s

    I don't know why, but it puts a smile on my face. I guess, the logo shows some confidence previously unassociated with boring standard bodies.
