  1. Re:Guess who isn't doing their job! on Movie Theaters Were Already in Trouble. With Disney's Fox Deal, It's Double (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    This has nothing to do with protecting theater chains and everything to do with an overly consolidated market. It shouldn't be approved; it moves too much of the market to a single company.

  2. I don't think the submitter watched that last one. on Mass Effect To Invade the Big Screen · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Clash of the Titans (bland movie, with bland writing, starring a bland lead actor) gets listed among a bunch of moderate to great movies without so much as a hiccup and The Hangover gets a pretentious "um"? WTF.

  3. Re:Bad news on Demand For Unmanned Aircraft Outstripping Their Capabilities · · Score: 1

    For the record, we should be ashamed of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. What was the alternative? (Consider the context of several years of all out war all over the globe)

    The same thing that happened when the allies eventually crushed Germany; sick ranks upon ranks of Red Army conscripts on them.

  4. Re:And when it fails... on Military's Robotic Pack Mule Gets $32M Boost · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So are two GIs who collapse from fatigue after marching eight hours through sand carrying over a hundred pounds of kit each.

  5. Re:Robot miltary dogs should be next on Military's Robotic Pack Mule Gets $32M Boost · · Score: 1

    Except it's gramMatically. So very close, sir.

  6. I'd expect more from an official study on Phone and Text Bans On Drivers Shown Ineffective · · Score: 1

    One of the most basic aspects of a study involving observation is to always remember: Correlation does not equal Causation.

  7. Re:Finally - 3D porn! on World's First Integrated Twin-Lens 3D Camcorder · · Score: 4, Informative

    The porn industry is on this.

  8. Re:Too small a staff on Microsoft To Get Malware Bailout In Germany · · Score: 1

    My main problem is that, if they're anything like the people I've had to work with, they won't call in until it's so bad they need a clean OS install anyway and then the call will probably turn into a long conversation about back up options for their documents and files(some of which are probably infected and will rape the new install soon enough).

  9. Bad at following directions on Microsoft To Get Malware Bailout In Germany · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately none of those calling in will be following the one step solution; stop going to German porn sites on a windows box.

  10. Re:$1 Million... Really? on SETI@Home Install Leads To School Tech Supervisor's Resignation · · Score: 1

    Oh, Players Handbook; you're such a card

  11. Re:HEY DOUCHE CMDRTACO -- atomsmasher IS NOT A WOR on LHC Knocked Out By Another Power Failure · · Score: 1

    and its lame cousin; gestalt.

  12. Re:9mm? on The Jet Fighter Laser Cannon · · Score: 1
  13. Re:Beyond the Alien on Ridley Scott Directing Alien Prequel · · Score: 1

    You, my friend, would love Earth Hive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliens:_Earth_Hive It has everything you listed; including the homeworld part.

  14. helping players is one thing on Therapists Log On To WoW To Counsel Addicts · · Score: 1

    No therapists in my guild without at least a 3k gear score; if these guys are going to "help" players they may as well help with their guild progression ;)

  15. Let him know how you feel on Dodd's Filibuster Threat Stalls Wiretap Bill · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If you feel strongly enough about this, send him a message; let him know how you feel about it. And if you're like me, you'll let him know how much you appreciate that he has some balls. http://dodd.senate.gov/index.php?q=node/3128&cat=Opinion

  16. They have a petition going on Games Workshop Forbids Warhammer Fan Films · · Score: 1

    chances are the petition probably wasn't up on their site when this story went up but it seems that the fans who made the film put a petition on the news section of their site in both german and english; here's the english one (last I checked they had a little over 500 signatures): http://www.damnatus.com/news_popup.php?id=1929&lan guage=english

  17. Re:Verizon makes this mistake all the time. on Verizon Can't Do Math · · Score: 1

    I know working for verizon landline that verizon lets the reps go up to a certain amount of credit given per customer until they need supervisor approval, I know that with landlines it's up to 150$ before you have to ask a supervisor. I'm going to guess they have a similiar environment there; they wouldn't lose their jobs or even get a talking to for ~72$ worth of credit. The people he got on the line were just complete bumbling idiots, as the recording shows repetatively...

  18. taste/smell on Robot Identifies Human Flesh As Bacon · · Score: 1

    I'm relatively sure that the robot may have been "tasting" the soap and other hygiene products the two had used that day in combination with their skin, we'd probably have to use it in a clean room to see what we really taste like.

  19. other races on Ask the Warhammer Online Team · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I noticed that the vampire counts, tomb kings, as well as the dark elves are not shown in the trailer at all; does this mean they're not in the game? That they're the 'bad' guys and thus unplayable? Or was there some reason the trailer simply couldn't include them?

  20. Mitigation? on RIAA Wants to Include Song Files it Can't Produce · · Score: 1

    Isn't this more or less just an attempt to reduce the completely ridiculous amount of money they're going to have to pay? Because even if they *only* have 11 copies they confirmed could be had (and I'm using confirmed very loosely with these guys) then isn't the defendant still liable to pay well over $10,000 even if the other 16 that weren't produced? What does this really win them, a kick to the balls vs. a shot in the cranium?

  21. Re:Egads!! on Wal-Mart Threatens Studios Over iTunes Sales · · Score: 1

    I have to completely agree with you there. The nearest in and out burger is about one and a half hours away and one of my friends routinely packs us all in his car and we drive up there for the sole purpose of eating there. When you can get people to do that, you don't really need to gouge prices.
