  1. Blocking - on China's Internet Boom · · Score: 1

    Albright says, basically, that the Internet is a tool for democracy.
    Is that when it's not corrupting minors, introducing them to pedophiles, and teaching them how to blow up their schools?

    Just asking.

    BTW, How successful can the Chinese Government be in blocking content they find offensive?

    -Noiz,
    Still working on the coffee.

  2. Younger voters, yes - on Net Voting in California · · Score: 1

    Younger voters would definitely vote more readily if they didn't have to leave thier computer - And let's face it - so would a lot of other people. Going down to whereever place they've decided to put the polling station isn't fun (as in Canada, anyway, they seem to manage to place you at one that's *not* the closest possible), waiting in line isn't fun, and so on.
    It would probably save alot of money in the long run - less polling stations needing to be staffed -
    But for me, the interesting thought is - How many voters who don't vote and don't have net access would seek out a public terminal? Here, Employment Centres have free net access - I'd be interested to see how many people who are intimidated by the voting process would vote for the first time because this option is a friendlier one.

    -Noiz,
    Who apparently rambles before her first coffee.

  3. Creepy - on WWW Surpasses One Billion Documents · · Score: 1

    Almost 4000 links point to rickymartin.com -
    I'm just curious if that was supposed to be impressive or disturbing. Of course, a good lot of those one billion pages are made by teenagers so-

    -Noiz,
    Who thinks Ricky Martin looks too much like a clone to be a "hottie".

  4. Silly Chick Question on Interview: Corel CEO Michael Cowpland · · Score: 2

    Just in case you want to take a break from serious questioning:

    Was your wife's dress really worth a million dollars? No, really?
    Where do you find such a dress? I don't really want one, but the concept kind of amazes me.

    -Noiz,
    Who's in a weird mood.

  5. Re:How about this? on Dungeons & Dragons Movie · · Score: 1

    I'd think Vampire or Changeling would stand a better shot... But I'm Werewolf-biased. I think it's silly.
    Though... With the paranoia movie theme - Hunter looks *way* promising.

    "...with heavy curtains, no mirrors... Hey! You're a vampire!"
    "Am not."

    -Noiz,
    Who knows LARP will rot your brain and corrupt you like this.

  6. Re:Anyone remember the Kindred TV series? on Dungeons & Dragons Movie · · Score: 1

    There's some debate about the cancellation, actually...
    I always thought it was due to ratings, but apparently some people think that the reason it was cancelled was not lack of ratings, but due to the death of the lead, who played Julian Luna. Does anyone know for sure? I know his accident came rather suddenly, and before the new season began - and I can't see them just replacing him.

    Either way, it's really too bad. The show was fun, in retrospect (after I got over the Kindred-In-Sunlight thing), and he was a fairly good actor.

    By the way, ever notice all the future Melrose and Buffy actors on that show? Weird.

    -Noiz,
    Who has 'em on tape. Us Gangrel hate them Brujah.

  7. Star Wars Influence? No - Really? on Dungeons & Dragons Movie · · Score: 1

    As much as I'd like to see the movie - Aren't there a few coincidences?
    Evil Archmage = Evil Senator
    Empress with odd clothing = Queen with odd clothing
    The article also said that the majority of Birch's scenes are with Irons... So, would it be safe to assume she is *influenced* by him...?
    Only difference being, I'd guess that the archmage is found out and summarily dispatched, as opposed to being subtle. But - Magic Missiles rarely are.

    70+ red and gold dragons though? Yipe. Are there that many?
