Linux Based HD DDR used on Starship Troopers 2
Psinatmium writes "LinuxDevices is currently running a story about a Linux based, uncompressed high definition video DDR/Editor that I have been working on called RaveHD. The article also goes on to talk a little about how it was used at Tippett Studio in the upcoming feature "Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation"."
Dance Dance Revolution.
interesting Linux development!
Nope, just the heat from Heinlein spinning in his grave again
Ads are broken.
We cannot ill afford another Kandathu.
I'm lost.
What does Dance Dance Revolution have to do with Starship Troopers 2?

Why, Linux can be used for everything from palmtops to pissing on Heinlein's grave!
> Hence the brilliant satire that is Starship Troopers.
Satire, maybe... brilliant, no.
You can't make suckage go away by labeling it "satire" any more than you can by labeling it "prequel".

Actually you can, but it's still a turd when you're done.

> No, broken will be the inevitable sequel. *No* movie makes that kind of money without a sequel. The way I see it, we have about a year and a half before "THE PASSION 2: DAWN OF THE DEAD."
More likely Jesus II: Walking Tall

I guess that means you've used Windows XP...
The only cool part about the book was the mech suits that the mobile infantry wore. I have no idea why the film left them out. Instead they show a bunch of retards fighting with futuristic weapons and using World War One tactics. I spent most of the hour and a half yelling "Spread Out!" at the screen.

Aww, come on. What good is having a war if you can't have snappy one-liners.

Hey! Modern Vampires was good!
Plus he gets to play with Udo Kier.
That's a plus.
I'm still shocked by the DDR thing.
"What? Dance Dance Revolution on Unix? Why would they play that in Starship Trooper 2?"

Since R.A.H. was buried at sea, the results of him spinning in his grave effect the angular momentum of the Earth, and can be directly measured by changes in the length of the day and year. Since the original movie was perpetrated, the standards bodies have not needed to add any 'leap seconds' - indicating that the system has gained angular momentum from some external influence.
Caution: Do not stare into laser with remaining eye.
Two-dimensional characters played by wooden actor-props fighting CGI bug-alien-things and all done with about as much plot as Doom I: yeah, that deserves a sequel if anything does.
At least with a video game I get to control the lame-assed character with the gun.

"My view of the book"

You see no contradiction here?
