Slashdot Mirror

I'm more reminded of this horrible movie. The scenes with the black hole sliding around the surface and eating St. Louis is hilarious. And don't even get me started on the "black hole monster"...

Oh, damn, too late. The Black Hole (2006)

Wouldn't you say the piano playing robot is trying to do both? It tricks its audience into thinking it is real, but music is not purely mechanical - dynamics, tone, and style can be subtle things a human can detect. Piano is an easier instrument to fake than, say, cello. I can tell a good cellist from a bad just by asking them to play anything for a few seconds (even a single note), and not from the tangibles like vibrato and mechanical prowess - by the intangibles like attack, bow movement, and phrasing (which can dynamically vary, making it difficult to mechanically nail down).

and running a Turing test based entirely on rote intelligence is the mistake of AI, in my opinion. Too many machine AIs are easy to trap this way - you need to add a "state of mind" for the AI, complete with opinions on subjects, so if I say "What did you think of the American Elections?" and the AI says "I think they're great!" I know immediately it's a bot. If the response is "I <3 Obama, I'm so happy!" or "God, in 4 years and the government will be so far in the toilet I might as well move to China now" I would have a lot more doubt.

btw, James Cameron is trying to pass the visual Turing test with his next movie, Avatar (also see here) we'll see when December comes...

No, we're here...laughing while we peruse /. while still getting our work done on our speedy *nix machines. :-)

These 'My Windows PC is Slow!!, what can I do?' type articles are like reading the funny papers....not to taken seriously, just amusing and entertaining.

This fiasco has been going on for years, just like a soap opera. Nothing really ever changes, except the name of the OS to protect the guilty. (my apologies to the Dragnet TV series)

Besides, why kick the guy when he's already down? It's not important enough to me anymore to care about rubbing his nose in it.

Like an old saying I've heard many times: 'you've made your bed, now lie in it'.

but it would be surprising if one day the government contractors doing cleanup also found a more/less completed Nuclear weapon warhead buried in a trash pit too.

From the wiki article on the History of Nuclear Weapons:

"Following air accidents U.S. nuclear weapons have been lost near Atlantic City, New Jersey (1957); Savannah, Georgia (1958) (see Tybee Bomb); Goldsboro, North Carolina (1961); off the coast of Okinawa (1965); in the sea near Palomares, Spain (1966) (see 1966 Palomares B-52 crash); and near Thule, Greenland (1968) (see 1968 Thule Air Base B-52 crash). Most of the lost weapons were recovered, the Spanish device after three months' effort by the DSV Alvin and DSV Aluminaut.

The Soviet Union was less forthcoming about such incidents, but the environmental group Greenpeace believes that there are around forty non-U.S. nuclear devices that have been lost and not recovered, compared to eleven lost by America, mostly in submarine disasters. The U.S. has tried to recover Soviet devices, notably in the 1974 Operation Jennifer using the specialist salvage vessel Hughes Glomar Explorer."

One would hope that those weapons not recovered because they were not intact (i.e. they couldn't find all of the pieces), but the records of various governments around the world do nothing to assuage real concern(s) that embarassing incidents were not simply covered up and forgotten. In fact, such occurances have been fodder for a number of fictional thriller type stories over the years including a Tom Clancy novel which was made into a movie, Sum of All Fears (although they changed the bad guys in the film to Nazis because they didn't want to offend the Islamists...sheesh no backbone in Hollywood these days).

Wrong Quark.

According to IMDB the movie was released as early as December 11 in Germany. I've noticed this trend recently, where "007: Quantum Of Solace" also was released earlier in Europe.

Maybe Americans need time to adjust to not getting everything first?

Don't you mean "Back off man, I'm a scientist"?

But seriously if you really want to know how to erase your media here are the instructions for the US government. For destroying hard drives they recommend you "disintegrate, shred, pulverize, incinerate" (p19) the hard drive

You left out the most important last step: "nuke it from orbit, it's the only way" (p20) to be sure.

Two years ago, I saw an audience screening of a movie called "Killshot" [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443559/] that has yet to be released. These aren't so rare, as the theater at which I saw this screening has screenings nearly every week.

I remember when "Dark Knight" was at the number 1 spot up against godfather and shawshank

Thankfully someone has fixed that, but it just shows how inaccurate internet polls are.

Seriph brings up a perfect point. IMDB seems to back that information up fairly well.

I was hoping to see a better-resolution image of the actor (e.g.) than the 1-pixel image you included. Does the site you referenced require a login to see images?

The couple of images on the main imdb page for him look like he could do the right facial expressions for Spike.

Fremont, California - In a surprise announcement, GNAA has announced a truce and alliance with the popular news for trolls website Slashdot.

GNAA member godspeed broke the news at an early-evening press conference, announcing that GNAA would cease trolling the website, and will instead work with the current Slashdot staff on porting the Slashcode to ASP.NET, to be run under IIS.

"We've had our difference with Slashdot in the past," godspeed began, "but with recent slowdowns in performance on the website, they have finally realized that Opensource is indeed dead, and it's time to move on and replace their antiquated codebase with something that will meet the modern day's needs. We're pleased to be given the opportunity to work with the Slashdot staff on making this port. Of course, the new code will not be opensourced, an NDA will be signed in blood by all who see it and if you release it, the penalty... well, you've seen what happened to Nick Berg, Paul Johnson, and the others. Major changes to be implemented include the removal of goatse link evasion, major overhauls to the karma system, and the replacement of pinkpages with LastMeasure,"

At this point godspeed turned the podium over to fellow GNAA member goat-see and stormed out of the room. goat-see offered to take any questions the audiencemembers have. When asked why there were no Slashdot representatives at the conference, he was quick to reply "You can speak to CowboyNeal outside after we're through here, we couldn't get that motherfucker in here without widening the doorframes. Next question?," eliciting a hearty chuckle from the audience. When asked the reason for the sudden change in relations with Slashdot, goat-see paused to think for a moment, before answering "Our historical differences were meant to hilight the flaws in the Slashdot system. As soon as the staff realized what an impacted shitpile their site was and the need to update it, we were the first to volunteer to assist in the migration. We look forward to seeing the hight performace of ASP.NET pages with a MS SQL backend as much as any other nigger out there."

bare, a GNAA member sitting in the audience, stood up and confirmed this announcement with a hearty "LOL." goat-see concluded the conference at that point, saying "If you have any further questions, please direct them to new GNAA member Wil Wheaton, now let's all go outside and poke that fat fuck CowboyNeal with sticks."

Except for Lindsay Lohan (make that Danielle Panabaker instead, she can both act and look the part), that actually wouldn't be so bad. Yeah, Milo Vengimiglia acts like a stupid jerk, but so did Jin, and Stiffler as the pervert and incredibly arrogant Mugen would be just perfect.

Fae Valentine: the girl from Lazytown that all the pedos have the hots for

Apparently, she turns 18 in May.

That requires time.

No, switching from suck to blow requires the Schwartz! Everyone knows that...

But holy shit, now I know what they meant. I fucking love Cowboy Bebop, I fucking LOVE it, and now Hollywood is going to fuck it up the ass.

Just take shelter in your Samurai Champloo DVD's, until they turn that series into a movie as well. It'll probably star Stiffler, I mean Seann William Scott as Mugen, Milo Ventimiglia from Heroes (who looks like Keanu's younger, retarded half-brother) as Jin, and Lindsey Lohan as Fuu.

I would suggest Kathleen Robertson as Faye Valentine. She was in the scifi mini series Tin Man and she looked like natural Faye.

100% agreed about Keanu's poor casting.

I don't think it will be like Serenity though, because the fans of Bebop already got their equivalent of Serenity back in 2001. It will, however, do well in the box offices precisely because of Reeves, in my opinion. I think most of the money will come from people who have never even heard of Cowboy Bebop, going to see a cool space action flick starring the most popular piece of cardboard in history.

Noah Wylie is already being prepped for the role.

Germany and Austria take anything related to the Holocaust very seriously. Holocaust denial is a felony and will most likely cause you a prison sentence. "Mein Kampf" is the only book that is illegal to own, buy or sell in both countries, and Nazi symbols like swastikas or the Hitler greeting are prohibited. It is also considered "taboo" to say anything along the lines of: "Well, Hitler wasn't all bad, y'know..."

Personally, I think this is a good thing, because it helps people realise the seriousness of the whole thing. People in Germany or Austria will probably not laugh at Jew/Nazi jokes, as these are considered tasteless, not funny, etc.

But:

Germany and Austria also take free speech and its place as foundational pillar of democracy very seriously. It is through demonizing our past and disassociating ourselves with it that we recognise the importance of free speech and privacy. It is for this reason that these countries will never have the "slippery slope" problem of privacy loss and censorship (unless, of course, we are dragged kicking and screaming into it through EU lobbying). Governments in the UK and US (and Australia, I guess) have always been the good guys. There has never been any instance of citizens standing up to oppression on a large scale, which is why most people fail to realise where the slippery slope is (or at least might be) going.

People are slowly forgetting about the horrors of the Holocaust, but the memories of the censorship and privacy invasions by the GDR in East Germany are still vivid in people's memories. Watch The Life of Others if you still don't know what I'm talking about.

I know that Wikipedia knows everything, but doesn't an IMDB link make more sense for movies?

I think this movie will give you some suggestions :)

Pffft, easier said than done. If you think an Iraqi insurgent with an IED is a tough adversary just wait until you see a Canadian with a hockey stick...

That, and we maintain a threatening lead in Zamboni technology!

Shows like "Dexter" or "The Shield" or even BSG would not have made it in the 70's or 80's.

Except for the change in violence and language, all of these shows would do fine in the 80s.

"Serial" shows were well represented at the Emmy Awards in the 80s:

• Beauty and the Beast
• Dallas
• Hill Street Blues
• L.A. Law
• Miami Vice
• Moonlighting
• Soap
• St. Elsewhere
• thirtysomething
• Wiseguy
• The Wonder Years

Even Cheers and Murphy Brown had some significant serial nature to the stories. And, the original Battlestar Galactica also had a decent amount of continuing storylines.

I'm not saying that all these shows are great (or even that I, personally, like most of them), but they are definitely more serial in nature. The sticky point (both then and now) is the fine line the creative staff has to tread where there are continuing stories that keep viewers wanting to come back, but not so much that new viewers are unable to jump in and start watching.

I've been thinking about that whole "filling lungs up with crap" thing for a while. I came to the conclusion that it is (probably) solvable.

The film The Abyss uses a plot device where the divers use an oxygenated liquid to manage the affects of deep diving. Apparently this is a real world technology. "Researching" this post led me to the article on it.
Given then, that liquids can be used in the lungs over periods of time, what is to stop this liquid having some kind of detergent introduced to it?

Pats.

"Pats?" I haven't heard of them ... are they like a team of sexually indeterminable players?

I'll be sure to send you another copy of that memo.

then i guess we just need to boost the Earth's magnetic field.

perhaps we can build a large electric pipeline coiling from one pole to the other to form a sort of solenoid around the planet. though we might need a few thousand nuclear power plants to generate a strong enough current to cause any significant change in the earth's magnetic field.

it's either that or drill into the earth's core and set of a series of perfectly synchronized nuclear explosions...

Idiocracy?
