Absolute Dark Knight by Frank Miller ENTERTAINMENT | BOOKS |  If
you're not really that in to comic books, you'll probably recognize
the name Frank Miller from the recent movie adaptation of his graphic
novel Sin City. Fortunately for us, his talents have extended well
beyond that realm. Frank Miller's Absolute Dark Knight ($100)
includes two graphic novels, The Dark Knight Returns and The Dark
Knight Strikes Again, the former being a groundbreaking work that
infused Batman's beloved Gotham with a darkness that only Miller
could realize. Along with other plotlines, sketchbook material, and
more, this is a must have for any superhero aficionado.

Craigsnumber: Free, automatically expiring phone numbers Posted Dec
19th 2006 1:10PM by Jordan Running Filed under: Security, Web
services Craigsnumber's tagline is simple and to the point: "Listing
online? Protect your privacy." And that's all there is to it.
Craigsnumber is a dead simple online service that will give you a
disposable phone number for conducting business online. Want to
provide a phone number on your eBay auction, but don't want your real
number out there forever? Just go to Craigsnumber, enter your real
number and when you want the disposable number to expire (one hour,
one day, or one week), and you'll be assigned a Craigsnumber (which
is an ordinary phone number and extension) that will forward calls to
you only until it expires. When someone calls your Craigsnumber,
they'll be prompted to record a greeting before they're connected,
which allows you to screen incoming calls. If you want the number to
be in a particular area code, you can choose from between San
Francisco, Dallas, and Washington, D.C. One feature that would be
nice to have is finer-grained control over expiration times. Being
able to set it to 10 days or two weeks would be very welcome. So,
where's the business model? I have no idea, but it's a neat service
that doesn't require any registration, another big plus for the
privacy-conscious. As a big minus, however, the site doesn't appear
to have any privacy policy. I've put in a query to the site's
creators about that, and will update this post if they reply.

WarGames Sequel Now Filming

from the lights-camera-domain-grab dept.
iluvcapra writes "This news is a little late, but on November 20th
WarGames 2: The Dead Code began filming in Montreal. (I only became
aware of the new production when I read that MGM is suing the
rightful owner of WarGames.com for his domain name.) The film will be
produced and distributed by MGM — distributor of the original
WarGames — and directed by Stewart Gillard, director of such gems as
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3. Lawrence Lasker and Walter F. Parkes,
the team behind the original film, are not involved. The plot
revolves around a hacker breaking into a terrorism-simulation computer."
