"So from watching the first part, the guy raises some good points."
This is Slashdot and it's unreasonable of people to criticise you for not watching the TFV. They're obviously still on web 1.0 and obsessed with not reading TFA without extending standard/. protocols to FVs.
I'm on part 3 and it seems to be going the same way as TPM. It started well with a good pace and a plot that expounds some interesting details. Shame as he was onto something pretty good at the beginning but by the middle of part 3 I kept saying, "Well, I can't really agree with that". For example, it doesn't seem implausible, in story terms, that a corrupt trade regulation body would be carrying out an embargo for self serving reasons.
It's a shame that he couldn't have taken his own advice and edited out some of his crappier ideas.
Yeah, I was disappointed that Ep1 was a kids movie too. Most adults who grew up with the original trilogy were. But it could have been much worse and it does expand the SW universe with some interesting new details.
Maybe a feminist group could put together a clever strategy to help people like this female student. Next time a MAN gets a reprimand for making a statement that "upset and frightened" a colleague or an ex, they could all rally round him and offer their support for his expression of anger in the form of an off-hand comment.
Welcome to Slashdot. Clearly that guy was just trying out someone else's credit card details to see if he liked them. Half the stuff he bought with the stolen... I mean evaluated money turned out to be a load of rubbish that wasn't worth buying anyway.
It's quite impressive when you look at how smoothly animated the complex 3d is compared to the home computers that were available even five years later. However, I suspect that the vector display works as a kind of acceleration for the line drawing. The computer only has to send the vertices to the monitor rather than calculating and then drawing all of the points on along the entire line.
I hear that you can get them in order to encourage you to good things, these days. I need all the encouragement I can get, so I think I should be awarded one.
You are an ideal candidate for the position of Marketing Executive in a hardware company. [to the engineers] - "Guys, I think you've got a very closed-minded view of what some of these terms mean. Or what they could mean."
"Because I'm the type of guy, when someone tries to push me around, I will do the opposite of what they want just to show them they shouldn't try to push people around."
The Chuck Norris of internet forums!
Voice over guy - "They messed with his file sharing. That was their first mistake. They made him insert the disk before he could play a game. That was their second mistake. Then they put a one month delay on DVD rentals. That was the worst mistake they ever made. This summer, a Slashdot user is going POST A COMMENT! Post A Comment is rated PG."
When did you last see a man take off his top in a movie/TV show/porno and not have a sixpack? Or do you think that Harison Ford is an average 60 year old guy?
If the 3D effect was good, it wouldn't bother me. I'm up at night quite a lot and I've grown used to putting on headphones to watch a movie or play a game.

Anyway. Onwards...
$666? Does that include complete freedom to read and write for users, the group and others?

I've got a bit longer than that and I find it really hard to have a conversation while the TV is on.

That fact certainly isn't on the history tapes.
It'll be great to have expletive suggestions and the 6502 Apple II ROM disassembly whenever I need it from now on.

Yeah, if the phenomenon of deep sea giantism can be used as any sort of guide, life forms from that planet will be bigger than Steven Segall is now.
If nothing else this will provide continued employment for that Adam Sandler fellow. "Water Boy II: Over The Moon!".
"It does not work for cars"
So this ISN'T like a car? I'm confused. Can you come up with an analogy?
He means that the pioneers who started X development did so on massive 22" mono monitors that gave out a lot of rads.

Ah, but it would be a steep "forgetting curve" if it were negative.

I remember when I decided to spend a little bit extra and bought an IBM Deskstar HD.

JPEG output from an electron microscope seems so wrong.

With a dry cool wit like that, you could be an action hero.

Come on, /. haven't got a Rockstar game "controversy" to give four or five advertisements to at the moment.
Sounds like he was a crazy taxi driver.
