Crusher Crushed from Nemesis

Ant sent in a link to Wil Wheaton's weblog where he writes a surprisingly heartfelt piece on being cut from ST:Nemesis. Its a strangely bittersweet little entry that really speaks volumes, especially considering Wil's fairly public disagreements with Rick Berman. Apparently Wil's bit was cut along with 48 whole minutes of the flick- its just the nature of filmaking. But I guess if nothing else, they've got tons of stuff for the DVD now!

Right. Everyone has the exact same abilities.

Some people can talk on a mobile phone and drive safely at the same time while others can't walk and chew gum at the same time. Pay attention to the drivers around you and you'll find plenty that have trouble even remaining in their lanes while concentrating as hard as possible on the task of driving.

One-size-fits-all laws rarely make sense. Banning all cell phone usage while driving is a gross overreaction to a minority of drivers with limited skills.

But officer, I can handle my liquor!

Absurd comparison. Alcohol measurably impairs coordination and reasoning. Cell phones do not. There is no one who is unimpaired while drunk.

Race drivers regularly use in-car radio systems and if they can do that at 150mph+, then there is nothing inherently dangerous about a cell phone.

I can't believe you guys gave this rambling asshole +4. This is why Slashdot is no longer my mainstay for the day's tech news and community. You take this fool, who seems like something of an insecure asshole himself, and herald him with karma? I mean, what kind of intelligent input is:

You're about as impressive as those guys who run around spouting about the advantages of the v-tec system in their 10 year old 4 cyl stock Honda (which they senselessly red-line daily).

The intelligent masses left Slashdot a long time ago for places like MeFi and K5. I should really just stop visiting.
