Slashdot Mirror

A small desert town has been harassed for months by a gang of drag racers, but so far no one has done anything to stop them. One day, a ghostly black car shows up, challenging members of the group to race, then killing them one by one. Neither the gang nor the police can catch the car or its driver, but some investigating into the gang's past may reveal just who's behind all this.

This was done back in 1994 in the movie Richie Rich. It was pretty cool then, too.

It's disabled because the MPAA is sueing Slashdot for copyright infringement.

What has Gibson ever said about South America? Or is this just a general reference to Gibson's drunken rant?

That IMDB entry speaks for itself. I'm not even going into historiography.

One of the characters is a guy (played by Robert De Niro) who runs around repairing the horribly broken machines that everyone's required to use, but are forbidden to fix. He's hunted down as a terrorist.

Seemed pretty crazy when I first saw it.

Doesn't seem so far fetched anymore.

You know the sad thing? It's only the fourth worst movie I've ever seen:
1. Dancer in the Dark is so bad that I can't sit through Chicago due to flashbacks.
2. Glitter, because any good 5-digit slashdotter has had a woman or two in his life, and at least one regret among them.
3. Unknown. I remembered what it was 3 days ago and repressed it again.
4. Tammy and the T-Rex, one of the earliest movies I've seen with the worst Bond girl. I have actually seen the utterly gorgeous Denise Richards in at least 4 or 5 movies, and am still looking forward to a chance to see her act.
5. Ma Vie En Rose.

As far as I know, Tammy and the T-Rex, starring Denise Richards, is not available on DVD or Betamax. How am I supposed to watch it now?

Connor McLeod called, he thinks you have something that belongs to him... or at least to his friend Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez

It's a thief's dream to get a hold of someone phone number, with some social engineering figure out his address and add them to his contact list.

Now wait for the person to leave his home. Take the time you need, you know he's not in range.

Reminds me of a movie called Louis 19. (EDtv was the American adaptation of the same screenplay for the US market) Where the guy is followed 24/7 by a TV crew. One night he comes back and his apartment was broken into and everything was stolen.

Appropriate, since the PS3's graphics are on par with PC graphics in 2001...

Odd, I thought this was the seventh one.

Deep Impact was a much better movie IMHO than Armageddon.

As far as I can tell, Microsoft won't be happy until we all live in Brazil.

The coup was obviously undemocratic, but Thailand is now actually in a far better situation than under the previous regime.

I don't live there, but I have friends who are in the royal family (it is a big family) and that's the impression I get too. The guy who was ousted appeared to have gone a little too far in indulging in american-style government/corporate bogus-free-market kleptocracy (the "socialize the costs, privatize the profits" kind where he and his family were majority shareholders).

Thai, but otherwise unrelated, I just saw Citizen Dog and loved it. Along with Bangkok Loco and Shutter the Thai film market has been showing some real potential. I hope this "regime change" will continue with the economic circumstances that have encouraged recent local film production.

Senator Iselin: I mean, the way you keep changing the figures on me all the time. It makes me look like some kind of a nut, like an idiot."

Mrs Iselin: Well, you're going to look like an even bigger idiot if you don't get in there and do exactly what you're told...Who are they writing about all over this country and what are they saying? Are they saying: 'Are there any Communists in the Defense Department?' No, of course not, they're saying: 'How many Communists are there in the Defense Department?' So just stop talking like an expert all of a sudden and get out there and say what you're supposed to say.

[Sen. Iselin looks upset]

Mrs Iselin: Would it really make it easier for you if we settled on just one number?

trogg (GNAP) Trolladelphia, PA - Today the world learned what happens when the GNAA takes its focus off of Zionist Forces, and directs it towards an even lower group of sub-humans... Loli-chan.

The Loli-chan movement started innocently enough, a 12 year old girl, a digital camera, and a need for affection. In a few short months it became an enormous corporation of deranged and bizarre internet freaks, shady message board members, pedophiles, and the GNAA's very own "popeye". The movement changed to corporation status and was openly traded. (NYSE:LOLI)

GNAA Operative jax, unperturbed in her recent release from Zionist controlled Xerox Corporation, removed the butt-plug from her festering Hindu ass and finally executed the last stage of her assault on Loli-chan. This involved phone calls to the vice-principal and principal at Loli-chan's private school in Florida. Alerting them to that fact that they were harboring one of the biggest pedophile celebrities on the internet. For more information, see http://www.gnaa.info/girl/.

Upon hearing that their beloved board was about to be raided, all the members of Loli-chan participated in a massive suicide ritual lead none other by "popeye", in which the members ejaculated into each others ass and then sucked it back out through a straw causing semen-fecal overdose.

This was all to the delight of jax who sat back and stroked her cock till climaxing onto popeye's corpse as fellow GNAA operative Jmax licked her scrotum. All the while saying "You have been trolled. You have lost."

I was going to post that, but as a Dr Cox quote from Scrubs. Which came first, I wonder? Seriously, you could get a lot of good sitcom jokes off bash.

something the current administration has been found to do.

And going back _14_ years. As I mentioned in the earlier /. discussion for Fake News Stories Probed, check out the 1995 documentary 'Spin' to see some early examples of this type of fake news being broadcast during the run-up to the 1992 election.

Hear! Hear! Doesn't anyone remember " Mad City " from '97?

"Because they may upset some people."

I wonder what the reaction would be to "Airplane!"? Would the passengers and the cabi-crew appreciate the irony?

Flashback: "You don't actually think they spend $20,000 on a hammer, $30,000 on a toilet seat do you?"

Personally, I'll take a poorly-lit set with grainy footage and a top-notch story and universe over perfectly produced crap any day.

So then, you're a Neverwhere fan?

Didn't they ever watch Joint Security Area?

Let's review our physical forces, here.

Has anyone mentioned that there's a point where the curves of space-time (gravity) and cetrifugal forces would cross?

Considering that GSO is approximately six times the diameter of the Earth itself, there is a point where the gravitaional pull from Earth's mass is countered by the mass of the rotating object that is tethered to the spinning Earth! So, if the cable is supposed to handle 10- to 20-ton payloads into space, how heavy is the cable itself?

How do we maintain a geosynchronous rotation for such a massive contraption before ever reaching GSO? Our other poster made it sufficiently clear that anything moving that slow around LEO will just come crashing back down.

Got a ceiling fan?

1. (In case any jackass fans are reading...) Turn the fan OFF.
2. Measure the length of ONE blade on the fan.
3. Get a piece of string that equals three-times that length.
4. Secure one end (duct tape?) to the tip of a fan-blade and the other to a cork.
   (Any relatively light-weight item will do, as long as it's heavier than the string.)
5. Turn the fan on its lowest speed.

Right away, you'll notice that the cork will begin to soar about the room; given that you've cleared a path for it. (Watch for mummie's good China! Move that snow-globe, it's a collectible!)

The point here is that the cork flies outward, doesn't it? (it would fly higher in a vacuum, given air-resistance on the string and cork) Same goes for any tethered mass. I estimate that somewhere 'round the upper part of LEO is where you'll find that centrifugal forces will take over. The fan moves a lot slower, too. What does that spell for the Earth's spinning core should we ever get such a massive project underway?

Granted, there hasn't really been anything to compare with this sort of physics experiment... short of small-scale models. (see above) Even so, there's little account for relative unknowns; such as primary physical forces (gravitational vs. centrifugal vs. atmospheric) and environmental hazards. (materials expansion/contraction, physical stresses, a full spectrum of radiation exposure and, of course, space debris)

"We'll use nanotubes!" // "The cable will be tapered!" // "It will be made of diamond filaments!"

Feh.

Frankly, the whole idea is crocked. Where's the hybrid-engine space vehicles already? Where's our gauss-cannon-style space catapult? How is this getting the spotlight when there's perfectly good research in areas of anti-gravity propulsion, bifield-browning effect and yet-unknown physical forces? Why is there no news of the vortex thruster?

(Don't cry to me about not having links here. You can Google them yerself! Learn a little!)

Space elevator lethal? HA! I'd guarantee it! You'd be lucky the Hand of God doesn't come right out of the cosmos with a pair of big, sharp scissors.

... and where's my Jet Pack?

• It will probably contain some concepts based on the design for the movie
  
• It will probably contain voice acting from some major stars who are probably TBA right now
  

...are not required. The DMZ does not have people wandering around the undergrowth, even with human gaurds you will be shot (armed or otherwise). All it needs to sense is a warm object.

Oh yeah? That's not the way it was in JSA (Joint Security Area) and movies are always accurate!

Remember that scene from Syriana where they blow up the SUV? A convoy is driving through a desert in the middle east. The CIA are sitting in their comfy air conditioned office in the USA. On screen they have live satellite coverage of the convoy. The convoy stops, they watch a few of the passengers change vehicles but agree that the target vehicle hasn't changed. The convoy stops again. The commanding officer gives the order to the operator to take out the target. The operator draws a box around the stationary vehicle with the mouse cursor, then grips onto a flight controller style joystick and presses the red "launch" button. Somewhere, deep in the desert probably (we're not shown) a missile pops out of its silo and heads towards the target. The operator says something like "30 miles". The commanding officers look on. The operator says "10 miles" a few seconds later. The missile autonomously locks onto the target. There's a giant explosion. When the smoke clears, all that is left of the target is a blackened crater in the ground. The other vehicles in the convoy are slightly damaged but not destroyed. The operator says something like "target destroyed". The commanding officer leaves the room.

How close to reality is that? It sounds pretty doable doesn't it? It's not like they're shooting lasers from space. It's not like you'd have trouble funding it. "Strategic Strike Capability", that'd get you some tax dollars.

Add some lasers and a short circuit and we're onto something here. Maybe some blue ray lasers striped from blue ray players?

Maureen O'Nigger (GNAP) Hong Kong, HK - Gary Niger, known here as the intrepid Nigger-Anus pilot and spokes-negro of the GNAA (NASDIQ: GNAA) was laid off today from his second job at Lik-Dong after the company spread it's cheeks for the massive legal phallus of the Sony Adult Entertainment Corporation (NASDIQ: ANAL).

Lik-Dong, best known for it's "modchips" which turn Japenese video games into American hardcore gay pornography could not be reached for comment.

Sony Adult Entertainment Corp had stated in previous press release that they did not tolerate anal piracy of any sort and that "we told those nigger bastards they were going to pay!"

Recently a hostile take-over of the heretofor Japanese company left it in solely Jewish hands. An employee of the Sony Adult Entertainment Corp said on condition of anonymity, "maybe if those cheap fucks had spent some money on the GayStation III, instead of whores, and X... we wouldn't be going out of business".

Timecop was notified of the layoff today when he recieved a despondent phone call from Gary. Gary informed timecop that "Being a Gay Nigger just doesn't pay like it used to". Timecop, CEO of GNAA, GNAA Enterprises, and the newly formed GNAA Corps Africa, in his discussion with Gary promised to see what he could do about Gary's compensation package based on his layoff.

GNAA, on behalf of the CEO released an official statement which follows: "Gary was laid off from his day job today, and though his work at the GNAA continues to be anus-breaking, his anus is not as tight as it once was, and though still satisfying, loosens after a severe pounding. I therefore cannot give Gary a raise at this time."

Sony Adult Entertainment Corporation was contacted for comment but all that was audible on the line was "SHOVE THAT NIGGER DICK DEEPER, OOH YES! DEEPER!" This was followed by a click and the line disconnected, no attempt at a return call was made.

His book and movie An Inconvenient Truth was released. Thus, why he's filed under policy. Maybe some people disagree with his views but at least he's trying (at personal-image risk I might add).

The article says "the town could use some publicity".

That is where they filmed The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. Why don't they mention that?

And it's his agent who's the douchebag, but then again, that's her job. Seeing as how she's an agent. It's like calling someone's lawyer and asshole. Yes, AND?

Check how many projects he's involved in:
http://imdb.com/name/nm0519043/

Maybe he just decided that he can sit around and masturbate with money-based lubricant rather than be on call for more Mac ads where he has to look like a jerk.

Apparently the author hasn't seen "Accepted." Hilarious movie.

Trivia: There are 39 shots of Apple Computers in the movie. The star, Justin Long, became a spokesman for Apple Computers (the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" commercials) just prior to the release of this movie.
