sky captain and the world of tomorrow

When Hindenburg III docks in an alternative 1939 New York on a winter morning, onboard scientist Dr. Vargus is found missing. “Chronicle” reporter Polly Perkins (Gwyneth Paltrow) follows up on the story to find that eleven eminent scientists are missing from around the world. As the story unfolds she learns about an overlying suspicion, that all of them might have been kidnapped by an evil genius called Totenkopf, and taken to a secret laboratory on the outskirts of Berlin. The intentions of Totenkopf are vague, as is the rumor that Totenkopf is set to destroy the Earth.

Polly joins Joe (Jude Law), an old flame and chief of an elite squadron of independent air force fighters. Joseph Sullivan, Joe, is in search of his friend Dex, believed to have been kidnapped by Totenkopf; and Polly is in search of an extraordinary story for her newspaper. With the help of scattered clues set throughout the movie they travel around the world looking for Totenkopf. Their quick visit to Nepal to meet ally Kaji creates a turn that leads them to stranger places and allies, keeping them on the right track.

Done entirely in blue screen, "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" is an ideal retro-style adventure filled with unique futuristic machineries like flying airstrips, giant invading robots, skycars, ray-guns, jet-packs, ornithopters, amphibious aircrafts and last but not the least, genetically modified creatures.Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is sure to keep you glued to the seat until credits roll!

abort, retry, ignore poem

The infamous Abort, Retry, Ignore message box of Windows, with no option given to close it. Found this classic and fun poem about the "Abort, Retry, Ignore" message. I have been able to trace back the source to Annoyances.org. Here it is: Once upon a midnight dreary, fingers cramped and vision bleary, System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor, Longing for the warmth of bed sheets, still I sat there doing spreadsheets. Having reached the bottom line I took a floppy from the drawer, I then invoked the SAVE command and waited for the disk to store, Only this and nothing more. Deep into the monitor peering, long I sat there wond'ring, fearing,
 Doubting, while the disk kept churning, turning yet to churn some more.
 But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token.
 "Save!" I said, "You cursed mother! Save my data from before!"
 One thing did the phosphors answer, only this and nothing more,
 Just, "Abort

water out of thin air – star trek style

  An arid desert from where water is planned to be extracted (by porous means) from the atmosphere. This Jordanian startup has, it seems, finally come to the rescue of humanity. And it is straight to the point, too:  Producing Clean, Drinking Water from Desert Air .  Beyond doubt, it means that the magical-sounding system from this incredibly named company can produce water in the lush valleys of Nepal, too. Reason: if it can produce water from an arid desert, it can definitely produce water from climates less arid than a desert. So let me recount a story on why this machinery is suitable for Nepal along with the rest of the world. As everyone in the world knows, Nepal is a country full of all kinds of landscapes. There are forests, valleys, plateaus, almost-peninsulas, almost-islands, flatlands, badlands, grasslands, waterfalls, cliffs, mountains, canyons, gorges, caves, hills, and even a sea (albeit 500 km away). But no desert. No desert? How come? This question troubled some import
