    ... I wonder if the DVD disc leaves a bright trail of light behind it if you throw it...

  2. Hate the MPAA? by EchoMirage · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'll re-post an Anonymous Coward submission from yesterday. I'm not taking credit, but it applies again:

    Slashdot (to MPAA): You fucking fascists. We hate you.
    MPAA: But look at these shiny colors!
    Slashdot: Oooh! How much?

  3. Dennis Miller, Tron, and Al Gore... by Orangedog_on_crack · · Score: 5, Funny
    A little OT, but then it isn't everyday that I get to post a reply on /. about Tron.

    Everytime I hear anything about this movie I remember what Dennis Miller said about Al Gore... "This man is the Vice President?! His favorite movie is 'Tron' for fucks-sake!"

    Oh that will cost me some karma.

  4. Irony? by mwalker · · Score: 5, Funny

    The irony here is thick. Tron, the only movie where the bad guy was ICE, an intrusion countermeasures routine written by a huge evil corporation, is now released on a video format protected by... intrusion countermeasures... developed by a huge evil corporation.

    If Bill Gate's house bluescreens tomorrow pinning him under the refrigerator till he asphyxiates, I don't think the irony would get any thicker.
