  1. Re:Original my ass by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Firefly Premieres Tonight

    Feh.

    Of course two word descriptions aren't characters. They are tags. There isn't any depth to them because they haven't had so much as a single episode to develop the characters in. Does the fact that you are tagged "zpengo" mean that you are two dimentional? Without any more information to base the answer on, I can't say.

    At least give it a chance before bashing it. You are drawing conclusions based on marketing taglines. Of course they are simple. They are meant to be used in 10 second promo spots. You would be hard pressed to read the whole series Bible in a 10 seconds promo.

    Up until this week's site redesign, the characters page on UPN's Buffy website www.buffy.com used the same "The XXXXXX" tags to identify the characters. Does this mean that they are automaticallty 2 dimentional characters?

    By your post, we should obviously judge Babylon 5 by the premise "Humans build a space station to use as diplomatic neutral ground". Is that all that Babylon 5 is? I sure don't think so. Lets judge what's able to break ground after they swing the pickaxe.

    (Yeah, I'm posting AC, but only because I don't have and don't want a slashdot account. This post just really annoyed me)

    Well, people watch this show. The original Buffy movie was a joke, of course, but the TV show takes things quite seriously.

  3. Re:Whatever. by IHateEverybody · · Score: 2 · on Calling Out TiVo

    Who gives a shit about TiVo seriously? Come on now, really if this was "Beergut: News for Couch Potatoes" maybe this would be on topic.

    It's on topic because:
    • TiVo runs Linux. All Linux related news be posted even if the only Linux related part of the story is that the author bought Linus a beer in Cupertino five years ago.
    • It's an intellectual property issue. All IP issues are on topic.
    • Because Hemos said so.
    • Because TiVo is hackable.
    • Because a lot of nerds love Buffy, Star Trek, and The Simpsons.
  4. And now for something completely different. by stephenbooth · · Score: 1 · on Overcomming Programmer's Block?

    Personally, to solve the coders block problem, I go to the cinema for the day (there a a few cinemas around here that are open 11am to midnight or 1 am) and watch a load of films that keep my attention but require no real brain work (action movies are best). If that don't work I watch Buffy videos and/or read Buffy fanfic.

    The next day I'm ready for work and usually have the solution nicely mapped out in my brain.

    This is the same method the SF author Issac Asimov used (although he didn't have access to Buffy) to combat writers block.
