this "cool stuff" you speak of is designed to justify the federal government in taking your money, and to kill people. referring to it as cool is almost as hypocrtical as anti-mpaa posts to/. from dvd player owners.
this appeared very soon after splashdown, and by a user clearly created just to sell "mir-wreckage". could a boat really pick up pieces of mir? charred hunks of spacestation don't seem like they would be floating and easily spottable. also, this would be very easy to scam adequately, with a blowtorch and some twisted metal/plastic/fiberglass, although the experts could probably tell.
maybe someone can put up a bid, pain the slashdot logo over the char marks, and offer it as a second prize for people who didn't win the slashdot pt cruiser.
i'm so tired of seeing crap on/. and other news sites about.com failures and linux layoffs. the stories are all repetitive pieces about stock prices plummeting back to earth, companies going down in flames, and millions of dollars being wasted.
i read at a +3 threshold. i think it is indicative of the genre that i see this after the story:

1 of 90! that says it all.
first, let me state that i thouroughly enjoyed the david lynch version of dune, although it was by no means a conventional scifi action movie. lynch is an artist, asking him to direct a scifi action movie is like asking dali to design a logo for a fast food chain.
anyway, from watching part one, it looks like scifi has just remade lynch's version, but replaced eagle-eyed cinematography with phantom menace style costumes and effects. hemos saiys it is a
"step in the right direction", but moving away from the vision of a brilliant cinematographer and towards an intellectual disaster such as the phantom menace is not the direction i want things to be going.
the story of dune is not an action movie, true fans of the novels know this. anyway, i'll reserve further judgement until i've seen more. at this point, a star wipe to jar jar in a stillsuit doesn't seem out of the question.
look, i am excited that/. is out to cover anime, the more topics on the site the better. but rob, dbz sucks. the original dbz sucks. it just sucks more when it has stupid american voices and is censored by ted turner. same goes for sailor moon and (to a lesser degree) tenchi. they just aren't good anime, and censorship hurts them more. if anyone is a real anime fan they seek out their own titles, that they like, without relying on ted turner to paint over ryoko's nakedness for them.
howabout some coverage of _real_ news about _real_ anime (vampire hunter d 2000 for example). these cartoon network stories aren't anime news, they are tv guide level material!
online voting is bad. very bad. it is the same thing as poll taxes and heavily complex registration procedures. it prevents the less priveleged from having an equal say in their representation.
rob, you have absolutely no right to post comments on the main page after the artice title. if you have a personal opinion on the article, post a comment, like we all do.
your sarcastic remark shows that you disregard the priveledge of owning computers that you and i share. i know you live in some praerie in middle america in a nice place with "cool" computers and an aibo, but not everyone has these things, yet everyone must be able to vote. please think about the impact your snide remarks will have upon your image as a logical human being.
If you think differently than the FBI and the American New World Order of the Post-Cold War Era then yes, you are an enemy of the States and will be pursued as such.
Do not be shocked by what you read, the Government guns down its young civilians in cold blood. Legal measures pale in comparison.
Is anyone here familiar with the television show reboot? I think it has amazing computer graphics, when one considers that it is a.5 hour show made by some obscure canadiens. I believe it is the second show in Toonami on Cartoon Network (4.30pm) these days. Aside from the great graphics it has some really entertaining computer metaphors and imagery, as the setting is the inside of a computer. (ex: "hurry up, we don't have all second").

this sounds more like ornithopers from dune, than it does voltron. trust me, i would know.

just a friendly dose of realism.

this is 100% true. if you haven't seen the transformers movie do yourself a favor and see it. it is great.
but when i look in my wallet, $10,000 is:
MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
sorry, couldn't resist.
it is better to burn out than to fade away

when i first got my sega genesis, as a little kid, the first words zeus spoke to me were "rise from your grave". not "arise" from your grave.
/. not checking their facts.
this is another case of
ah, so that's where all the thoughtful /. posts are going...
this is a serious question.
how much could you over clock a processor in the coldness of space?
would you need to shield from gamma rays or solor wind or whatever the hell is out in space?
is it true that in space, no one can hear you overheat?
wireless networking on jumbo jets?
you know all those near misses you hear about in the news ("TWO PLANES CAME WITHIN 150 FEET OF EACH OTHER TODAY...").
hmmm....
what is the range on 802.11 again?

Since the FreeBSD4.0-RELEASE candidate sources have been recently released, this government binary could be the first program to try out in a jail().
jail is a slick new feature in 4.0, that encapsulates the process "in it's own private hell". look somewhere else for a more technical discussion.

Reboot is great for a daily dose of CG.
