  1. MOD PARENT UP! on 11,000 Words on the Star Wars Trilogy DVDs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    (my first ever MPU! post)

    Absolutely, it was all about the redemption!

    And to erase the redeemed Anakin is to nullify the moment when he saw his son being zapped by the Emperor, deciding "fuck it, it was never supposed to be this way", and taking the Emperor out.

    I didn't buy the DVDs, nor do I plan to, especially since now I wonder whether in "Lucas' Vision" Anakin ever got redeemed, or if Anakin was truly destroyed by Vader.

    Not that it really matters, but it does change the premise of the movie.

  2. Dude, You've got Spyware! on Does Your LCD Play Catch-Up To Your Mouse? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    but seriously, did you check your system for spyware. some of them buggers can hog your CPU pretty bad.

  3. The size is nice, but on OQO Price And Release Date Set · · Score: 5, Funny

    Too bad it runs XP.

    "Hey y'all, check out the 1900 bucks of spyware I gots!"

  4. But does he have the right stuff? on Astronaut Wants Space Program With No Frills · · Score: 3, Funny

    Did he kick back?

  5. Re:Kill Jar Jars! on Star Wars Battlefront Released Today · · Score: 1

    when chewbacca charges his bow, it generally kills the guy it's aimed in one shot.

  6. Re:A libertarian over 18 is a social misfit on Libertarian Presidential Candidate Michael Badnarik Answers · · Score: 1

    I agree with you that bringing troops home is a good idea, but we can't just pick up and leave, while the countries we liberated are in a power vacuum.
    We need to establish roots of a "sustainable, just" society and then pick up and leave.

  7. yes but, on Smaller Networked Sony "PStwo" Officially Announced · · Score: 1

    can it take a memory stick?

  8. Re:A libertarian over 18 is a social misfit on Libertarian Presidential Candidate Michael Badnarik Answers · · Score: 1

    1. Lots of people freed up to guard borders, infrastructure, ports, etc, from the existing terrorists of the world. It is called the Department of *Defense*, after all.

    That would be just teriffic! A military state in my very own neighborhood!
    Truly a marvelous idea! Armed soldiers ready to gun down anybody they consider a threat. Even China would be proud of a plan like that!
    Absolutely marvelous!

    Because the great Manitou himself knows we don't need any more immigrants in this country.

  9. Re:A libertarian over 18 is a social misfit on Libertarian Presidential Candidate Michael Badnarik Answers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I don't know much about Libertarians, but what exactly do they suggest we do after we pull our troops back home out of half-ass-baked countries?

    Build really tall walls along the borders?

  10. Here's the best one I've seen by far: on Is "Marketingspeak" Killing Technology? · · Score: 3, Funny

    they even used the word "paradigm" !

    http://www.linuxelectrons.com/article.php/20040907 120917901

    I mean, just look at those numbers!

  11. In Soviet Russia... on Symantec Acquires @Stake · · Score: -1, Troll

    ...The hackers work for you!

  12. Free Riding? on Is IP Property? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Where is this "free riding" you speak of, and how do I sign up for it?
    And how many of my friends need I enroll?

  13. Hey we should be happy for a great color on Slashdot Goes Political: Announcing politics.slashdot.org · · Score: 0, Redundant

    This blue looks great, especially with the stars and stripes.
    Now, can you guys PLEASE change the mustard-dog-crap yellow of the IT section.

  14. Re:Shouldn't they have used Wi-Max? on Wheat Field Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    According to these guys, it costs 20 grand to put up a base station.
    However, it seems to be an older article, so I'm not sure how correct it is.

  15. Shouldn't they have used Wi-Max? on Wheat Field Wi-Fi · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Wouldn't have made more sense to implement a Wi-Max (802.16) based network than installing all the Wi-Fi access points?

  16. 4 free gmail invitations on Inflatable Spaceship Ready for Test · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    email jjpron@hotmail.com with subject "gmail"

    a good joke in return would be appreciated!

  17. Re:talk about STUPID MODS on Microsoft to Launch Online Music Store · · Score: 1

    ah, you win some, you lose some...

  18. Intel has nothing to throw at this? on AMD to Demo '8-socket' Dual-Core Opteron System · · Score: 4, Funny

    Whatever do you mean?
    Let me count:
    -They have speedy Celerons,
    -They have shiny 32bit HT P4s
    -They have shiny blue and orange stickers that say "You just paid too much for a CPU... err, I mean Intel Inside!"

  19. Plays for Sure! on Microsoft to Launch Online Music Store · · Score: 1

    If it's anything like plug and play, it'll be more like "Probably Plays for Sure". Just like Windows "networking", "security", "efficiency", or "stability".

  20. My predictions on Microsoft to Launch Online Music Store · · Score: 1

    The service will be released as beta, and will install itself via critical updates.
    One morning all the PHBs will come to their computers with a brand new WMP + Music beta store installed and ready to go.
    Of course since it is only beta, it will crash their machines continuously requiring us to keep fixing them all the time.
    By the time it's out of beta, many viruses and exploits will be out for it, requiring us to, once again, keep fixing everyone's stupid PC.
    So, 2 years from now, when their software is finally mature enough, it will be so common and buggy as IE, Outlook, and god knows whatever else, that it will require full time support and maintenance.
    (All the meanwhile the PHBs will be like: "iTunes is not compatible with anything. I like the MSN store. Would you also come clean up my machine, it seems that someone has hacked in and installed a virus, it's running really slow.")

    Thanx Bill, and thanx PHBs for increasing the workload.

  21. HOLY CRAP! Nice Knowing you Apple! on Microsoft to Launch Online Music Store · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    So, let's see here:
    -Microcrap is releasing a superduper music store to compete with iTunes.

    -New iMacs suck.

    -iPod is gonna get slaughtered by dough-boy any moment now.

    May I be the first one to say:
    This signals the death of Apple!

  22. It's not the hardware, it's the OS X on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: 1

    The Dell pony can't run OS X. That is its main weakness.

  23. HL is great but what about Team Fortress? on Half-Life 2 Going Gold on Monday? [updated] · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Does anyone have any info on when TF2 will be released?

  24. what about team fortress? on Half-Life 2 Preloading from Steam · · Score: 1

    does anyone have any news about the release of team fortress 2?

  25. I want to be a Men class. on Turbine Starts The Spin For Middle-Earth Online · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I don't mean to troll, but why is the class called Men, and not Human?
    I'm not up on my Tolkien Lore, so as an outsider a Men class looks mighty odd to me.
