Derivative is an apt insult. Every story is derivative like every person is old. It's true to a degree. He's on the shitty side of the scale.
A "Shitty, super-powered, little girl" is Joss Whedon's pubescent fantasy brought to life - girls wielding ridiculous powers for no reason and handling it (in terms of acting) horribly. It's bad writing. Do you think that small girls with long black hair in the front of their face makes for good horror too?
I enjoyed Firefly, and he fucked it over, and the movie was trash. I'm not bitter about it. It was the first work of his I gave any attention, and his handling of the situation turned my "Hey this is pretty good." into "So people like this clown? LOL.".
I'm not pining for the return of anything. In fact, the way he ruined the story makes me cringe at the originals. If anything, I wish I had never seen the originals, because they're that bad now. He literally ruined Firefly with the last episode and the movie. He went back and time and made them shitty, and he did it in his own typical tantrumy way.

Buffy and Angel are trash. River, the last episode, and the movie ruined Firefly. So badly that I can't go back and watch the series anymore. I liked it when it was on, but Joss fucked it over in the end, like he always does.
It's like how Spiderman 3 came out and sucked so hard that it traveled back in time and made the first two suck.
Fail. A feedback loop adjusts based on the difference between the result (of a previous action) and the expected result.
Track Hit Track Hit Track Hit
No need to know where any hit was aiming - you only give a shit about where the ball is (tracking) and if you can get it (hitting) to within range of the other finger.
Any feedback loop would only be useful to correct for physical imperfections in the motion/sensing parts, and that has no impact on the algorithms used to run the sequence. It's called calibration.
Then as long as all hits result in the ball being in range, you're good. You don't need to measure the error of the last hit - just get the next hit right. Always aim for the most optimal spot for the next hit.
If the ball ends up further and further away from it's optimal spot with each hit, then the hits are in error (in terms of aiming, timing, speed, etc.).
You don't need to know what happened last time to be able to correct an error. Knowing what happened last time won't necessarily help you either.
If the required correction is outside of the robot's (physical) capabilities, you will always fail. If the required correction is within those capabilities, a feedback loop can help you recover, but the original error still came about due to non-optimal hitting/tracking algorithm. If you can't trust your algorithm, you can't trust it to fail in a correctable way.
Fix the hitting/tracking algorithms (and all physical procedures they extend to) and avoid the errors altogether. No need for a feedback loop, and you get a much more reliable robot.
I was never into Diablo, so I can't compare to the originals.
The only thing people are bitching about for Diablo is the colors. And while I agree it looks better desaturated (not necessarily to the degree those fan videos & screenshots adjusted it), I'm willing to be it's a million times more playable when you can actually see.
This just proves once again that Bing is better than Google. Remember, Bing isn't just a search engine - it's the world's first decision engine.
If you Bing "avatar film dances with wolves", the first result is the IMDB entry for Dances with Wolves. If you're trying to make any sort of decision based on what you queried, Bing will help you make the right one: Go read about, then watch, Dances with Wolves, and stop paying attention to the shit that is Avatar.
We can repair the body, or build a new body, but the brain has given up and thinks that the fixed or new body is still broken.
And we can't fix brains, we just know how to move them. It's like you fucking nerds installing a CPU. You don't know shit about how it works, and you could never fucking make one - you just know how to plug it in.

At least that's the shitty argument the fucking furries will throw at you.
Yes. We judge movies by their trailers. Directors and producers want us to. It's the trailer that gets people to buy the ticket. When was the last time a theater gave you a refund because a movie was shitty?
It's not the fanboys who are declaring fail. It's the people who actually like science fiction, and were fucking sick of hearing about AVATAR. Now we see that it's really a piece of shit. We have the fucking right to mock and taunt, because we've put up with shitty hype for ages.
The trailer got people talking. But there is such a thing as bad publicity - people are talking about furries.

Of course I had no idea what that was until I looked it up [on Wikipedia].
That covers 80% of /. posts.
Frosty piss covers about 15%.
I know, because we only use TPB for Linux distros, right?
You're a pirate and you steal movies, music, programs, and games.
At least fucking admit to it.

I can see a trailer for any fucking movie ever and instantly know whether or not it's shit.
Avatar is shit.
I haven't been wrong yet.

No. A closed loop can be perfectly fine forever.
If the loop is:
Track ball
Hit ball when in range
Then as long as all hits result in the ball being in range, you're good.
You don't need to measure the error of the last hit - just get the next hit right. Always aim for the most optimal spot for the next hit.
If the ball ends up further and further away from it's optimal spot with each hit, then the hits are in error (in terms of aiming, timing, speed, etc.).

No, they're two different things.
There is an Avatar (the Last Airbender) movie coming out as well.
Or did it already come out? I don't fucking know.
But they are both shitty, so no worries about getting them confused.
