Slashdot Mirror

Reminds me of the Matrix bastardization on detonate.net.

The Matrix Bastardization.

Some bad guys use Mac.

But the showstopper was a filmed spoof of The Matrix (screencaps available here), with Gates and Steve Ballmer as Morpheus and Neo respectively, and including a jab at Linux.

But I totally get Ballmer as Neo - you've seen his matrix training film.

Incidentally, the funniest "spoof" I've seen of the Matrix is the bastardization that resides on detonate.net. Very funny but the humour is a bit nerdy so don't go pasting that link to all of your "normal" (read: not computer nerd) friends - they won't laugh. I know, I've tried. I got a lot of "Why is this one funny?" type questions.

In BeOS I can have up to 32 virtual monitors for the price of 1... besides it saves the neck :)
Besides, if it's to use them like that...

I remember anxiously waiting for the following week's series of panels on Detonate's Matrix bastardization... I absolutely roared with laughed on a few of them.

Witty witty witty.

Of course, no one on THIS site appreciates my sense of humor.

I hear the book didn't do so well. . .

And I'm sure all you stupid consumers are more than ready to fork over $8 to go and watch this, right? And another $20 for the DVD. Money that'll just go to bribe another politician like Senator Hollings,

Dude, I think you need to cheer up. Here's some links:

I just wanted to use my high karma points to help deteriorate Slashdot, just a little. Here we go. [slashdot.org]

First of all, I hate the editors. They can all suck my tiny little cock. Those bastards are such greedy, blooding sucking fuck offs. Words cannot even begin to describe how much I hate those guys. I even hate them more than Kenny. They reject awesome stories and then post lots of bullshit and other corporate sponsored crap. On top of that, they flood our faces with lots of stupid, ugly ads. There are really two words that sum them up entirely: "sell outs". [slashdot.org]

Secondly, Slashdot sucks RoboTroll's [slashdot.org] balls. You know why? Because for being so "user" and "community" oriented, the editors sure do manage to fuck things up for all of us. Oh wait a minute, this is connected to my first point. Oh well. The users ARE Slashdot. Without the users, Slashdot is just another detnet [detonate.net]. Without our input, it's just a failed "news" site run by a bunch of retards.

And what the fuck is up with this subscription? Have you ever taken a shit and then had someone pick that piece of shit up and sell it back to you for $20/year? Fuck that. You idiots manage to pull literally a thousand comments out of your asses every fucking day! These thousands of comments that you shit onto these discussion forums is THE CONTENT THAT DRIVES THIS PATHETIC WEB SITE. And now, Cmdr "Snotting" Taco wants to fucking bill you for it.

For being so pro open source, anti-MS [goatse.cx], and other BS, Slashdot is exactly like its arch-nemesis [microsoft.com].

What's the solution?

Make Malda, his 0.02$ mexican whore, and the rest of his ass fucking homo lovers [slashdot.org] appreciate all the hard work we put into making this site meaningful! STOP POSTING COMMENTS TO SLASHDOT UNTIL THE SUBSCRIPTION GOES AWAY! Screw this shit! Let's take OUR content and go home!

The opinions and statements made in this post are entirely for inflamatory purposes only. Nobody's feelings should be hurt and everyone who is shedding tears over this thing should go shoot themselves. Dear RoboTroll: for my act of karma suicide to get your URL linked on a +1 comment post, please add this stunning example of trollmanship to your library. [slashdot.org]

One thing to make this article better:

from the developers-developers-developers dept.

:)

of course, that would explain why humans are so insecure and unstable....

And it would explain why we seem to want to seg fault and dump core all the time.

(Sorry, bad reference to the bastardization of The Matrix. I probably deserve to be modded down for it.)

Well Stevie is quite a dancer. We love to see him boogie.

You might want to check out cr0wbar's rant against Safe Audit when they screwed him over. The more you let people know about this kind of nonsense, the more likely it is said business will think twice about screwing you over.

We've seen this reaction all over the place. Any time people are treated unfairly in any situation, cry out publically about it. This does change things.

This story CLEARLY indicates wrong doing on their part. For example, anyone who has ever dealt with phone companies fixing their service knows that service providers are responsible for fixing problems with their own systems. When I got my second line installed, they had problems with line at a distro station. They didn't charge me to fix the problems there. If they had, I would have raised hell. But they didn't. They're responsible for it. End of story.

...and it will be posted again.

A beta version of the client is expected soon.

It's from an old (sega genesis?) game. Badly translated. It is called Zero Wing.

For some reason people thought it was funny enough to spam everywhere.

Someone went so far as to make a small flash movie of it... http://www.detonate.net/newsitems/01021601/ayb.swf
It's quite amusing actually.

(we put the weak in tweaktown...)

Tweaktown threatening lawsuits because they weren't linked by a site from Detonate.net
and an email sent out by tweaktown and posted on detonate.net that prompted the reply above

Makes for some humorous reading ;)

It's very similar to what happened to cr0wbar with Safe Audit a little while ago over at detonate.net. Can these banner-ad revenue services just spontaneously decide that they're no longer going to pay web sites for hosting their banners? What's going to happen to a lot of the web sites that depend on them to pay for server space and domain names?

MrT vs. The Matrix is pretty cool, but I still like the Bastardization of The Matrix a lot better :).

Ri ght here, buddy!

If you need a mirror :).

I think this is old news, but I will share. Someone made a song out of it too. 7 minutes long. I saw it on detonate.net at this
UR L

Pretty weird ;). Someone should make a game mod out of it [grin].

I did, here :)

If only if it means we may see a bastardization on detonate.net from the guy who did the matrix one, he only seems to work from DVD.

I don't know about you, but my roommate and I were having a blast MST3K-ifying it.

*mulder fires off clip at badass chick with no effect
Crow - "Damn! Should have switched to the rail gun!"
Tom Servo - "Who would think to take a clan named 'crack whores' seriously?"

*dude is blasted by chick with pistol*
Crow - "ahhh! I knew I should have stuck with Legend of the Red Dragon!"


We're considering finding a copy of the episode, hooking up a snappy and adding captions ala the matrix parody.
-Spazimodo

Fsck the millennium, we want it now.

Here's a hint for Mr. Valenti - it's not to pirate DVDs.

1. I want to play DVDs on Linux. I know that's semi-possible now with the css-auth code, but not on a K6II with no hardware decoding. I'm hoping that once the CSS cat is legally out of the bag we'll start to see the software that's already there blossom much faster than if further development is legally shackled.

2. I don't want to play DVDs on Windows or with a hardware DVD player. I don't like Windows, I don't use Windows, and I'm not about to change that. I don't have a standalone CD player, and never bought CDs until I had a CD-ROM. If I have to get a separate DVD player to hook straight to a TV, I'll just stick with VHS, thanks.

Oh, and I'm not too interested in closed source Linux players either. I buy closed source games for Linux, but something as basic as a video
decoder should be open source, for a number of reasons.

3. I want to archive movies someday. Analogy: I went through grades K-12 without buying a single audio CD (and just a couple tapes). After MP3s became popular, I started buying audio CDs, simply because it's infinitely more convenient to have my entire music collection ultra-accessible. I have an internet accessible (passworded) infinite
CD changer (of my own purchased music), in essence, and that's a very good thing. When hard drives get into the hundreds of GB, I want to
do the same thing with video.

4. I want to be able to play DVDs without a DVD player. Sounds oxymoronic, no? But in the not-too-distant future when Crusoe webpads are all the rage, I want to be able to upload a movie or two to my light notebook and watch them on the road. I shouldn't need more than an ethernet connection on said notebook to do this; I definitely shouldn't need an additional (and more expensive portable) DVD-ROM drive.

5. I don't think all software should be open source, but I do think all software should be possible to reimplement from scratch as open source, whenever people with the necessary skills gets up sufficient motivation. Microsoft gets enough flak for making obfuscated, poorly documented Office formats; what do you think the DoJ would do if all their file formats were *impossible* to read/write with other software because of some technically weak but legally bulwarked encryption scheme?

6. I want to be able to conveniently downsample, take still shots of, and edit DVD video. Yeah, yeah, you can do this pretty well with a Windows crack or piping the analog video to a capture card, but I want to do it on *my* system. Did nobody else get a kick out of the recent Matrix parody? Imagine more things like that, but add short dubbed clips, Gimpish effects, etc. Imagine taking a set of TV episode collections (I'm waiting for the Simpsons) on DVD and chopping out credits, bad episodes, etc. and putting just your favorites on a disk to lend to friends.

7. I want to be able to preserve my DVDs. The movie industry seems to be pining for the day when consumer video just wore out after a while, when technology made sure that people who paid for a piece of video didn't get that video forever. How many millions of dollars did media studios get from people who left a tape in the sun, who watched or listened to an analog tape too many times, etc. and wore down the quality but enjoyed the entertainment *they purchased* enough that
they bought a replacement? Even DVDs get scratched - and the horrid skips in a copy of Saving Private Ryan my friend rented demonstrated what happens then. I want to be able to make perfect copies of movies I buy, stick the originals in a closet, and just make a new perfect copy to watch if something happens to the first one.

8. I want to be able to move my DVDs to The Next Big Format. Sure, it's a nice coincidence that we're at just that moment in technological history when 1 movie of data == 1 disc of data, but does anyone really think we won't be able to fit a dozen movies on removable media in 10 years, or a hundred movies on a disc within our lifetime? If you can't make fair use copies of the movies you
purchased, and you want a library disc of your whole video collection, you're out of luck.

9. IT IS MY RIGHT. It was the DeCSS author's right to reverse-engineer software to make a compatible alternative. It is my right to make perfect copies of media I own a license for, for personal use. I made up this list because Mr. Valenti (and the judge in the court transcript I read) can't seem to understand that there might be normal reasons for normal people to want unfettered access to the media they purchased, but in reality I shouldn't need any excuse to legally exercise the rights that copyright law gives me.

I don't own a DVD player, and I don't plan on ever getting one if distributing this software is incomprehensibly ruled illegal. I would want to move this mirror offshore to somewhere it is legal, however.

I'd boycott them because I'll be sick of the DVD industry, not because I won't be able to use the software, mind you. I downloaded CSS source code from public court records, so I've got it legally; they can't retract that after the fact. I wouldn't be copying DVDs illegally, so they can't pick on me for that. Even if they rule that reverse engineering pitiful "encryption" is illegal, using a legally obtained product to exercise your license rights still won't be.

For kicks, I downloaded the new Eminem album, not thinking it would be all that, and listened. I thought it was decent, and bought the CD.

I'm not saying that I don't leach the occasional pop song for dance mixes, but if Napster/GNUtella / Bithive (when it gets going. Props to cr0bar who brought us the Maxtix Bastardization) allows me to find music that I like, and then support the artist that created it, I say it's double plus good (and that's not duckspeak. or maybe it is?).

Now if I could just give my money directly to the artist . . .
