First Rule: Don't talk about Internet
Second Rule: Don't talk about Internet
Third Rule: ???
Fourth Rule: Profit
Stop teasing people!
Here's the complete list:
1st rule: don't talk about the internet
2nd rule: don't talk about the internet
3rd rule: get a real job
4th rule: profit from your non-webdesign-related job
Even if you don't really profit that much you'll end up eating more often.
Sure, there are plenty of people who will watch and accept any vapid trash you throw up on the screen, so long as it has explosions, boobies, and (most importantly) a twist ending. A lot of people watch Lost, Fringe, used to watch Alias, and actually went to see Mission Impossible 3. This just shows that there's a ready market to make a quick buck distracting folks for 47 minutes (or longer).
I disagree. Boobies are ALWAYS more important than a twist ending in my book.
Yep, I agree. These days there's always a catch in everything. I guess that, even if some perfect tech came up, we'd find out the company's CEO was fucking the misses behind our back, or something like that.
As propaganda this could be pure genius! Just tell people the drones can detect AND ID bad guys even inside buildings, as long as the roofs aren't covered with INSERT YOUR EASILY DETECTABLE ALLOY HERE. Then just wait a couple of days and send out drones with detectors set to find those alloys. The war will be over before they can say JEE-I-FEEL-LIKE-HUMPING-A-CAMEL...
Long hours computing causes me to forget food... and sleep... and water... and stretching... but interestingly, not sex!
Well, if you ever manage to overcome that monumental hurdle between thinking about sex and actually getting some, you'll see that you'll end up exausted, hungry, thursty and really sleepy.
Hell, if done right, even the 'stretching' bit you mention will be taken care of.
Forgeting about everything except sex while in front of a computer makes sense. Sex is the reason we're at it for those long hours anyway, so there's no point in forgeting what we're actually there for. Gotta stay focused, right?
Personally I'm glad there's a correlation between great appetite and heavy thinking, because either I fuck a lot or I'm just a genius!
A guaranteed minimum of 15 years is not short. Graduate high school, go away for 15, and come back to a mid-30s version of yourself.
The thing is, the person he killed is not coming back. Ever. Why should he?
While your friends were coming of age and starting careers and making lives, you were rotting in prison. I'm mid-30s now, and I'd hate to wake up one morning as a 50-year-old.
I'm 33 myself. I'd hate it if that happened to me too. But do you know how I plan to avoid it? Well, not killing people is a start.
Now, I'm not saying that he doesn't deserve a harsh sentence, but honestly, 15 years in PMITA prison isn't a cake walk.
It shouldn't be a cake walk. Killing someone should be pretty much like commiting suicide.
Fear of death is a very strong feeling. Maybe it should be put to good use.
It just pisses me off that a guy kills someone, goes to jail, gets released, and then 30 years after the fact admits it was a mistake. Well, that's the kind of mistake you can't do.
Same thing with parole hearings. People shouldn't be released because they apparentely learnt their lesson. Not murderers or violent criminals anyway. Prison is not summer camp or college. And it shouldn't be.
The bottom line is: if a guy killed someone, he can not have a chance to do it again, ever. And I don't care if he found jesus either. Screw them both!
Yeah, but such a short prison sentence for murder?!
Sure, some people don't agree with the death penalty, but at least set the bar high with real life sentences, as in 'this guy won't have see the outside world again, ever'.
Killing people should not be an option. And if you're going to prevent it, trying being hard on whoever did it anyway.
The problem is some people would only understand the need for merciless sentences if one of their loved ones was axed.
It's not about punishing these people so much as it is preventing shit from happening.
At least so often.
And if they do it, they've done themselves too.
Sure, there's the issue with innocents getting convicted, but use common sense.
If there's a hint of doubt give life sentence instead.
But remember tax payers support life sentence inmates... So maybe the death penalty would be cheaper.
I know all this sounds awful, but damn, serving time for murder and serving time for none violent crimes just doesn't make sense, regardless to how different term lenghts can be.
To me, if this guy is guilty, he's still above the law, regardless to what he was sentenced to. Basically he got away with it.
Sure, the military will kill to use a device like this... Literally.
But let's not forget the implications of something like this in the porn industry! I'll never bu... download porn again! Er... maybe. Damn, it hurts just to type it down.
I'll just put the cloak on and roam free instead.
Now that I think of it, I'll need a cloaked car too!
And a cloaked video camera!
And maybe a cloaked box of kleenex...
And a cloaked disposal bag.
Damn, this is already getting too complicated!
I just think Spielberg will be less inclined to screw up than Lucas. And Harrison Ford even less than Spielberg. So having the 3 on board will assure some quality control, even if we aren't to expect some sort of masterpiece.
And no, I don't think a lesser film will screw up my childhood memories at all. I'll know the difference.
Didn't you enjoy the last Batman movie? The crappy post Tim Burton and pre Christopher Nolan adaptations were just ignored. Not to mention the TV series. Argh!
As for the 'walkie talkie' thing on ET, I can understand people's frustration.
But I also think it would be nonsense, in real life, for police officers or CIA agents or whatever those guys were, to run gun-in-hand chasing a few kids in bikes!
Of course the motivation of the director here counts too. So, if he changed it just 'thinking of the children' that will be watching the movie,
trying to get a better rating, than it sucks.
If he changed it because, like me, he figured out it didn't make sense, then I guess it's ok.
I haven't seen the movie in decades, so keep that in mind in case I'm missing something...
And who here thinks that this statement:
"The franchise really depends on me"
Isn't just a bit egotistical... *cough*Phantom Menace*cough*
I don't. I think you completely missed the point.
Lucas knows that of the 3 people with some say on this (himself, Spielberg and Harrison Ford), he's the one most willing to do a 5th movie.
And he knows he'll be able to convince the other two if he comes up with the right storyline.
Just like what happened with this 4th movie.
So, if we want a new Indy movie, we may as well start throwing ideas around, in hopes one sticks.
The crystal skull idea was actually good. They just didn't dove deep enough. But how could they? The movie is not about crystal skulls, it's about us watching Indy do his stuff.
Keep in mind that we love the character, so it could very well be 'Indiana Jones Drinks a Cold One', because we'd still want to see it.
Of course they could do what the Batman people did, and come up with something dense, but they probably did Indy 4 in the same spirit we watch it: just for fun.
And that's better than no movie at all.
So the movie can afford not to be ground breaking. As long as it's shot properly and has Harrison for playing the role, it'll be worth it.
And this is coming from a Kubrick loving movie snob.
So yeah, I wish they went for Indy 5 with their minds set on doing the best movie yet. Completely ignoring all the big studio crap and conventions.
But if that doesn't happen, another Crystal Skull is still welcome.
Truth is this guy should be put away.
He did this to 10 women and was only able to catch one naked!
A couple of days locked up should be enough for him to figure out what went wrong, and fix it.
I mean, c'mon, 1 in 10 is a poor result.
Slashdot Mirror
I agree with your point 100%. Same here.
:)
What's odd is that the first thing that crossed my mind, instead of that, was:
"I'll have a huge porn site with exclusive content without having to take a single picture!"
But yeah, I guess it'll work for the artsy stuff too.
I'd love to be able to tape my Michelle Pfeiffer wet dreams though.
And don't tell me that's wouldn't be art!
Without that generous donation the researchers concerned would have squat.
Instead of squid...
They have no arms you insensitive clod!
will repel or dumb-by-design redneck republican wannabe overlords...
They must be pretty happy with the fact that they didn't take snakes instead.

Jesus man, don't mention windows and awareness in the same title! I almost had a fit.
I'm from the day side of the earth and am really getting a kick out of these replies.
Crap, I must be somewhere in the middle. Things are pretty unstable around here!
it can't be called exploration
Machines are used to investigate. Self aware beings explore.
Well, you gotta remember that we came up with that term before we had any machines able to do the dirty work for us.
But yeah, I agree with you. Most of that spirit is gone. Still, we should employ all means available.
Sure, there are plenty of people who will watch and accept any vapid trash you throw up on the screen, so long as it has explosions, boobies, and (most importantly) a twist ending.

This just shows that there's a ready market to make a quick buck distracting folks for 47 minutes (or longer).
I disagree. Boobies are ALWAYS more important than a twist ending in my book.
The problem is that earbuds don't really cut down the ambient sound so people crank up the volume to over power the noise.
That makes sense.
I really gotta be careful, already lost my eyes to masturbation...
Yep, I agree. These days there's always a catch in everything. I guess that, even if some perfect tech came up, we'd find out the company's CEO was fucking the misses behind our back, or something like that.
Well, no link to read, so I'm going to go with the summary.
It's a new policy. Since no one RTFA what's the point of having links in the summary?

Actually I've been doing quite alright looking for porn without a porn mode. I didn't even know there were non-porn modes out there.
Damn, took forever to write this with just one hand!
Long hours computing causes me to forget food... and sleep... and water... and stretching... but interestingly, not sex!

That's nothing compared to the robot-brained rats I've been working on!

Kinda like how Enterprise flew from the back of a 747
They flew an AIRCRAFT CARRIER on the back of a 747? How did I miss that?
I missed the whole thing because I was hidding under my desk. You know, just in case the 747 crapped out or something...
Better yet, attach one of these devices to a domestic heater and it will feed itself perpetually. Just don't ask me how turn it on initally though...
