  1. cast list on Firefly Movie Gets The Green Light · · Score: 1

    Take a look at the cast here. Not only do I not see any big name stars, I don't even see any indie stars. Hell, the biggest name is Adam Baldwin, and he's nothing but a poor-man's Billy Baldwin. Not that these people aren't fine actors, though I wouldn't know since I never watched the show.

    But the point is, where are you going to see this movie? With a cast of no-names, not at the local megaplex. And this isn't the kind of movie that will play at the art house. College campuses? Maybe, but in that case it's usually the director who personally brings the film around from college to college, and Whedon seems like a busy guy. Sundance? not when it's produced by a major studio. It might play in L.A. and N.Y. for a week, but I think most people are going to end up watching this on the medium they least want to: TV (DVD in this case. And that is if it actually gets released on DVD). Don't hold your breath.

  2. Freakylinks on Firefly Movie Gets The Green Light · · Score: 1

    a show brought to us by the folks who made The Blair Witch Project. It didn't catch on because of its Friday night timeslot.

    With a few modifications, they could make the show about slashdot trolls.

  3. Sweet! on Judge Orders SCO, IBM To Produce Disputed Code · · Score: 1

    now we can get Skoal Chewing Tobacco on our side as well!

  4. Re:Nice Review! on Purely Functional Data Structures · · Score: 1

    the only thing I got on the book's specific content was that it requires you to know big-O notation

    My pr0n-loving eyes momentarily perked up, but that was a false postive. I should have known, this being a discussion about coding. Oh well, back to "work"

  5. Re:Only if... on End of the "Lone Asteroid" Theory? · · Score: 1

    Surprisingly, Dick Clark was alive back then. He looked about the same as he does now.

  6. Re:I can't wait for GTA: Boise on Rockstar Announces GTA San Andreas · · Score: 1

    Hey, you can't FAULT them for trying to wring more money out of their most popular games.

    Thank you, I'll be here until I'm modded down.

  7. I loved The Lord Of The Rings trilogy... on Lord Of The Rings - Oscars, We Loves Them · · Score: 5, Funny

    Someone should make a book out of it.

  8. finally... on Jail Time for Misleading Domain Names · · Score: 5, Funny

    Maybe they will finally put some goat sex up at goatse.cx?

  9. Re:Oh really? on MS Security Chief: Windows Never Exploited Until Patch Available · · Score: 1

    that must mean Donald Trump is missing some for his hair!

  10. Cooking With Linux? on SlashNET Forum with Marcel Gagne · · Score: 2, Funny

    I thought they already had toasters that run linux. Or is he talking about high-end machines, like ovens?

  11. arguments on Girls in the Gaming World · · Score: 1

    and arguments over whether it's a good idea to have separate women's matches

    I assume these are arguments over the relative merits of hot oil vs jello.

  12. Re:Today only, free access courtesy of Slashdot on Orwellian Tech Support · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Q: How many protestors does it take to change a light bulb?

    A: None. Protestors can't change anything.

  13. A great British narrator on New Cast Information For 'Hitchhiker's' Movie · · Score: 1

    John Hurt has one of the best voices of all time. For proof of his narration brilliance, check out Dogville.

  14. good? yes. brilliant? no on New Cast Information For 'Hitchhiker's' Movie · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Man on the moon is a stanard cinematic biopic of an eccentric comedian. If there was ever a a man who needed a gonzo off the wall biopic, it was Andy Kaufman, but Man on the Moon stuck to the facts, aside from the opening.

    Carrey did a good job, but it was like watching a really good Elvis impersonator. Like Andy Kaufman...

  15. Re:Not a big deal.. on FBI Anti-Piracy Seal · · Score: 1

    what seasoning did you use

  16. Re:Best and worst. on Skywalker Ranch Wines · · Score: 1

    I think he is saving Pinot Noir for use as a name of a planet in Episode 3

  17. so the politically correct folk have finally won on Imminent Mandrake Name Change? · · Score: 1

    I guess Mandrake will now be Peopledrake

  18. Another reason why this is great for Jimmy Page... on The Self-Tuning Guitar · · Score: 1

    in part of the solo in Heartbreaker, he actually twists the tuning knobs, rather than changing frets. This auto tuning is really useful, since after the solo, he can press a button, and the guitar goes back into tune.

  19. Oh great on Space Station Slowly Falling Apart? · · Score: 5, Funny

    my head injury from Skylab just cleared up 3 days ago, now I have to worry about this.

  20. Not too bad on Lindows becomes Lindash · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Lindash isn't too bad of an OS name. But why not just spell it lindash? It would be much easier

  21. good to know on Indian Techies Answer About 'Onshore Insourcing' · · Score: 2, Funny

    After a few evenings hanging out with Delhi LUG guys (and yes, it's almost entirely guys)...

    the language changes, but the LUG demographics stay the same wherever you go. Refreshing!

  22. entrance fees on State of the U.S. Arcade Industry 2004 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    There is an arcade near me that seems to have a relatively successful business plan: Get a bunch of old video games, skeeball machines, pinball machines, etc., charge only a dime to play, but collect an entrance fee. I'm more than happy to pay the 2 dollars for continuous access to lots of great games.

    Wave of the future maybe?

  23. but... on Google's Bigger Index · · Score: 5, Funny

    have they beaten Ron Jeremy?

  24. Re:The solution on Candidate Ads, Coming Soon To An Inbox Near You · · Score: 2, Funny

    Get a webcam

  25. Well... on Extinction Of Human Languages Affects Programming? · · Score: 1

    as long as Incubus still exists, we can feel secure in knowing that Esperanto will always be with us. Shatner Rules!

    On a different note, Incubus and Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner are two films that are the only ones ever made in their respective languages (Esperanto and Inuit). Does anyone know any more?
