  1. Re:MST3K fodder? on The Battlefield Earth Contest · · Score: 1
    Sending this to the top....

    MST3K is the only good to come from it.

  2. Little subjective contest isn't it? on The Battlefield Earth Contest · · Score: 1
    In the end - this contest is really who agrees with John's point of view.

    Because we are asked to come up with "one": honestly good thing about the movie. Stacked deck - even if I loved the show, and gave 20 examples why, if the judge doesn't agree I still get nothing. So what's the point?

    I hereby deny actually liking the movie... it just seems that I like this thread even less.

  3. A good thing...... on The Battlefield Earth Contest · · Score: 1
    ...is that I didn't waste money on it.

  5. New towns, bout time on Diablo 2 Goes Gold · · Score: 1
    "Four expansive towns to explore"

    Only one town was more of the most boring parts of the orginal.
    Great to see that their ramped it up this time.

    .... maybe the grand old brain trust at DVD central was trying to come up with a more secure code this time.

  7. Why would they? That's easy. on 1-GHz Pentium III Due This Month · · Score: 1
    Release first, get bragging rights.
    Simple.

    Intel wants to be able to have the bragging right over AMD... a little bit of marketing savvy.
    Press releases to the media can proclaim they relased the faster chip.
    Mailing to the stockholders can announce breaking the 1 gig mark.

    Personal I still won't buy one, but I can understand why they would move to put the chip out prior to being able to mass produce it.

  8. 3 primary TLDs? on Care to Register Your Own TLD? · · Score: 1
    "NEW DOMAINS STALLED
    Internet domains have been restricted to three primary domains, known as "top level domains" (TLDs): .com, by far the most popular, for commercial ventures; .org for non-profit purposes and .edu for educational institutions. Two other domains, .gov for governmental information and .mil for military use, are highly restricted and not open for general use."

    Maybe I missed something but when I hear the 3 primary TLDs I thought they were refering to .com, .org, and .net.
    Did I not read enough RFCs, how do they figure that .edu is in the top 3?
    And where did .net go too?
    They do point out that .gov and .mil are "restricted and not for general use" .... does that mean I can have Malkamite.edu?

  9. Does anyone remember.... on DeCSS Injunction Ruling · · Score: 1
    ...seeing the T-shirts with the nitroglycerin formula on them?

    Is it possible to do the same with the source code?

    Granted I'm not a programmer - I haven't a clue if the code is 4 lines or a million, but can it be done?

  10. I remember reading about... on An On/Off Switch for Genes · · Score: 1
    Something along these lines a few months ago.

    They were able to turn certian "toggle switches" in genes on/off.

    The only problem was they were completely sure what the switches did.

  11. I have to read these more closely next time... on Jon Katz' "Geeks" Goes Hollywood · · Score: 1
    I have to stop scanning these posts, all I saw was:
    a story about;
    Jon Katz' soon-to-be-released book "Geeks";
    Lawrence Bender (producer of Pulp Fiction, Resevoir Dogs;
    Quentin Tarantino's films;
    he directed this;

    I had a brief but frightening image of Pulp Resevior Geeks.

  12. Re:Pay scale? - answer to this question (OT) on The GCHQ Challenge · · Score: 1
    Odd I just had this conversation with a friend...

    Ever since the death of Bond's wife he has been living life in the fast lane so not to dwell on it.
    So, every dime he makes, every time he knocks over a major supervillain and walks away with the suitcase full of cash, he spends on women, drink, and he own personal style.

    But your right, in the world enconmy... Bond if definately not "rolling in it".

  13. Source yes, but with a catch.... on More New Crypto Rules (UPDATED) · · Score: 2
    For source code, the regulation reduces controls further than announced in September. Commercial encryption source code, encryption toolkits and components can now be exported under license exception to businesses and non-government end-users for internal use and customization and for the development of new products. In addition, the regulations relax restrictions on publicly available encryption source code, including by posting on the Internet.

    It relaxs the requirements.... but doesn't get rid of them.
    Close but not quite huh?
    Well it's a big step for the US goverment ot get this far.
