...the script was true to the book but the costumes, actors, and special effects couldn't measure up to a decade old film... The transference of the Paul character into a whiney teenager was the last straw. I never actually watched the whole thing on Sci-Fi. i waited and rented the movie when it came out. I was sorely disappointed. i have read all the books in the series even the ones that didn't measure up. I would like to see an adaptation of the next few novels. or possibly just skipping to Heretics of Dune, maybe.
From what I understand they(the united states supreme court) didn't actually overturn the florida state supreme courts decision, they just sent the matter back to them for clarification.
I read an article recently that said something to the effect that we need to stop this nonsense before we seriously damage the face of the political process. To this I say: Too late.
Really, did everyone really think that this series would be as good as the originals?
Seriously now, find me a series of books that continues to be great after the original writer dies or stops writing...it just doesn't happen. The Starwars books were a small exception, and even in those I've found only a few that were worth reading.
Don't take this to mean that it can't be done but when an author puts his heart and soul into a book, nobody can reproduce his/her work nor should anyone try. To those who complain that these books aren't as good as their predecessors: "Shame on you!" . It's the fact that the originals are so good that makes this venture worthwhile. I applaud Brian Herbert's efforts, trying to pick up where his father left off is a tough thing to do. I liked his collaboration with his father in the book "Man of two Worlds". I look forward to his next Dune novels. I am an avid fan but I do not proclaim that to adapt a classic is blasphemy. It really not that bad.
Your real question is whether we can behave like enlightened humans and share with each other. Can we be free to create without the eventual downsides that follow....greed, callousness, and finally evil.
I think the answer is yes we can.
Even though I am a pessimist first and foremost. I still believe that we can over come our desire to be richer and more powerful than others, and get down to the basics of life, what our parents taught us : "share with others". My parents taught me this and I'm trying to teach it to my children.
Not to say that it won't be a long and arduous journey, but we WILL get there. Hopefully before I die.
Bush's Answer: I believe that the Clinton/Gore Administration has already been too lenient on those dregs of society. I will make it my personal mission to jail every drug user in this country unless they have money or power and then I will take all their drugs and place them in an underground stronghold, under my house that is.
Gore's Answer: I have no clue as to what to do with the ongoing Drug "war" in this country. But I will say this: I will take all the drugs and put them in a "Locked box" in the Lincoln Bedroom, where my campaign contributors can have easy access to them.

9) The Future of the Country, and of Humanity
by 11223
Bush's Answer: We will only have a future if I am elected president and shortly afterward I will declare myself "Emperor of Earth"!! then I can continue to lord over my country, strip the ground of all its resources and live high on the hog. Oops did I say that aloud?
Gore's Answer: Our future is guaranteed, only if we put ourselves into a "locked box". There we will be safe. Until we die of suffocation.
Gore and Bush are a joke. Vote for the Natural law Party.
...I have read the official response from the boys at KDE and I find several of their points well put. I think that the formation of the GNOME Foundation has no relevant affect on KDE development. The main affect is the way that the general public views the market.
The news media puts way too much emphasis on the formation of the GNOME foundation, The key to survival is diversity. It's the personal preference market. People like what they like. I personally prefer Gnome but I have used KDE and will probably try the upcoming 2.0 release to see how much it has improved. If I like it I may switch, that is my prerogative. And I'm glad I have that option. This is America "Land of the Free" (or so they say).
See This is the material I want to read, an intelligent and well thought out expression of a persons opinions. I have used both KDE and Gnome and respect both for their own reasons. I use Gnome only because i have gotten used to it, not because it is any better than KDE.
I like the fact that there is and option for me when and if i choose to leave the Gnome-fold.

...that's an interesting phrase coming from a person that just tore down my whole opinion, because that is what it is: MY OPINION. Jeeze are you a little stuck up? Did you need to include that you work in a "Very intellectual job" ? Is that supposed to impress me? Are you attempting to prove that because you have a "Very Intellectual job" that your opinion is more important than mine? What are you trying to prove to me?
What if I told you that I was under the age of 25, that I also spend a good portion of my day programming, that I grew up on the streets without a family to help me out, that my education is self-taught. Would that matter? Am I holier than thou....? That my friend is not a decision I can make. Only you can make a decision like that. I personally don't think I am, but if that is what you want to believe then go ahead.
My real beef is not whether you agree with me or not, personally I don't care. My real problem is the "Holier than thou" comment. Where do you get off calling me that? Did I go into depth about saying how PBS is sooooooo much better that other television programming? No I just noted that I watched and supported it. I don't care if you don't like it, I do.
My next to final thought was the fact that you don't have to listen to my opinion, that's what makes this a free world. If you don't agree then don't worry about it. I mean I wasn't really preaching now was I? That is one of the reasons that/. Exists: public input. We are given the chance to voice our opinions.
My final thought is to thank you for replying to my post. It doesn't matter that we don't agree, it matters that we are having a reasonably civil discussion and that is good. At least I think it is. Please feel free to drop me a note if you wold like to discuss this further.
This is the most disturbing violation of our rights. Apparently the Effa Be Eye thinks that the electronic transmissions we send to and fro are just ripe for the taking. They claim it's only suspected criminals, "Suspected"? When activity like this is permitted then sooner or later we will all become suspects in their eyes.
I applaud the ACLU! If they can actually get something done then they deserve a pat on the back or better.
...people actually watch that show and care! I can't believe that our society has degenerated into this. The show is scripted from start to finish...Oh there may not be any lines written but do you really think that the people that are left on the island are really capable of surviving on a desert island? Give me a break! This kind of programming is the reason i don't watch that much television any more.
Where is the meaningful programming? My children have to grow up watching this carp? (yes I misspelled crap, I did it on purpose so don't feel the need to tell me.)
P.S. I watch and support the PBS (Public Broadcasting Stations www.pbs.org , they air Red Dwarf. Although Red Dwarf may not be the most enlightening program it is a hell of a lot better that Survivor or that stupid "Big Brother")
Seeing as how I mentioned it Let me say a few words about the show "Big Brother".......What the Hell is this!!!!! Are we really that sad? do we really need to watch some less than interesting people every moment of their day? As if we don't have enough trouble from the real "Big Brother"!
It comes back to that old adage... Give a person some fish, and feed them for a day. But, teach a person to fish and feed them forever."
The real question is: Is technology Fish? meaning is technology the one thing that we should be teaching second, and third world countries(I personally hate the terms 2nd and 3rd, it makes them seem different than us even though they aren't!). Is technology really the holy grail? Will it feed the hungry?, will it cloth the clothless?, will it fill help the less fortunate countries stand with their more technologicaly advanced brethren?
I think the answer is yes. I firmly belive that technology can help other countries find a place in this new world that we are creating. If they aren't given the tools to help themselves now they are in danger of being left behind in this "race" for technological evolution.
Hey posters. If you are relly reading these replys then I have another favor to ask of you: Please make this a real topic. Turn this reply into an "ASK SLASHDOT". With the Question something like: IS technology really the holy grail that will solve all the world's problems?
Well it doesnt have to be that question but somthing like it. You all have better experience writing questions that people resond to. Be my guest.
I'm really becoming worried by what I see going on here. It seems as though nothing is what it seems. pretty soon it will be:
You pay for a service, but you can't put anything on your newly paid for website that may be contradictory to Network solutions beliefs. When I pay for a domain I demand creative control! Who is network solutions to decide what I can or cannot put on my site. What the hell does: "any improper purpose, as determined in our sole discretion." mean? Do they get to decide what I can publish. Sounds a lot like mind control.
First of all let me state that as of about two years ago I wasn't much of an open source advocate. I used computers and bought software but I didn't think of the alternatives that were available to me. One random conversation changed that when a friend of mine suggested that I visit Slashdot. From that day on I became much more involved in the world around me as it pertained to open source and free speech.
I began by acquiring a copy of Slackware to try. And from there on my OS of choice has been Linux. Unfortunately I have to use Win9x/NT at work because the software that is essential to my profession is only win based (AutoCAD R14). But I have been trying to change that. I have been in touch with an AutoDesk employee, hoping to convince them to port Acad to Linux. I have also been in touch with publications in my field advocating Linux based Acad variants.
But I digress. I wanted to give my thanks to the posters, editors, writers and the rest of the Slashdot society. If it hadn't been for this site my eyes may have been in blinders to this day. Slashdot had been a beacon in my life as well as in others I'm sure.
I applaud you. And I thank you, for a place for those of us to learn as well as educate.
Just cross this with the research that Kevin Warwick is doing in cybernetics and then you can control your whole house (as well as other things).
Kevin is working on an implant that can read and interpet the bio-electricimpulses from his central nervous system and transmitting them over the air waves as well as over the internet. He already had one implanted in his arm that controled the lights, doors, etc. in his office.
I'm begining to think that we are only a few years from real cybernetics. I like this idea better than AI.
...are you smoking! You must be kidding me! Do you actually think that if you don't buy albums that the price will go down? If you actually belive this then I NEED to get some of that good crack you are smoking.
Record companies don't think that way. I understand that in a simplistic world, it might work but in this world we realize that greed is the main driving force behind the record companies (and the RIAA).
I "aquire" music online. Which often leads me to buy an album if I like it enough. This actually happens quite often. But there are a few times where I wasted $12-$18 on an album that I thought was going to be good and it turned out to be crap. Mp3's are a useful media. For concumers especially.
I also wonder how the hell this comment got moderated up to (5) Informative ? All it informs me of is the fact that some people live in lala land.
I know a lot of people who already have digital music connections from their PC to their stereos, but the concept of running it through existing copper connections is a good one.
A friend of mine just ordered one of Yamaha's PC Home Theater boxes. It looks pretty neat: it connects via USB and has multiple outputs. But It only comes with software for Win9x.
I had a question that mabye some one can answer for me, I have just recently been lookinginto Bluetooth, and was wondering can it just transmit data or can it also transmit audio streams (and mabye video)? that's what I need a wireless house. No Phone lines, no cable lines, no extra audio cables. Perfect.
