  1. Re:Not really a premiere on Serenity to Premiere at Edinburgh Film Fest · · Score: 1


    45* say 600=27000 totally tiny insignificant number of people if this is every going to go anywhere and be a hit we must be talking millions.

    And its not the number of people that make a premiere but the state of the film.

  2. Re:Not really a premiere on Serenity to Premiere at Edinburgh Film Fest · · Score: 1

    Not sure how much a debut it is given that it's been screening fairly frequently in the US.

    An unfished version has been previewed for a small number of people.

  3. And the series starts on SciFi NOW! on Serenity to Premiere at Edinburgh Film Fest · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you live in the states, get in there and swich on - Scifi are showing the entire series (followed by new episodes of Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis and the new Battlestar galatica)

  4. Maps are too slow on Google Maps for Boingo -- And Any Page · · Score: 1

    Make some for Google Earth instead.

  5. Re:The problem I have with Doom 3 on Doomed: How id Lost Its Crown · · Score: 1

    Who cares about the technical guff, it just didn't look as good as UT2004 to me, and I suspect a lot of others.

  6. Re:doop on Doomed: How id Lost Its Crown · · Score: 1

    Good for you, I thought it was too damn dark and generally unimpressive.

  7. Re:What'd I'd like to know on Windows Infected in 12 Minutes · · Score: 1

    Connect it to the internet. A guy I knew installed from CD's and then connected to the net to patch from Microsoft, but before he got through outside vira had found his machine.

    Guess you just live in the unfashionable end of the an IP range.

  8. Much easier on Old-Fashioned DRM Protects Harry Potter Book · · Score: 1

    To do away with the imoral copyright and get a real job ;)

  9. Re:To hell with "fine print" on Wired Strongarms Subscribers? · · Score: 1

    Very well put. (Surprisingly so for slashdot)

  10. Re:fight the planet on Space Ring Could Combat Global Warming · · Score: 1

    After all, don't you like tropical islands?

    Hell no!

  11. Re:One of my absolute top peeves on Java to Appear in Next-Gen DVD players · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or am I the only one completely freakin annoyed with DVD menus?

    Hell no, the starwars ones are a good example of TOTALLY LOUSY MENUS - I don't want to watch their animated crap for 10 seconds (which feels like minuttes) when I want to start something NOW.

    They seem to be asking for people to rip them..

  12. Re:It didn't happen last time on Space Ring Could Combat Global Warming · · Score: 1

    - The "Global Warming" measured, that started the whole hype, was actually based on limited data from only a tiny portion of the world. And it was only a 1 degree Celsius over a _century_ increase.

    Because "Global Dimming" was counteracting that - now as they have actually started to make some headway in counteracting Global Dimming, Global Warming is going to go up.

  13. Re:This is bull on GTA Sex Game Leads to ESRB Fracas · · Score: 1

    I'm certainly not going to argue that violence is ok and sex is not, however sex does carry with it certain responsibilities. The fear in parents is that their children will be attracted to unsafe and irresponsible sex.

    Which is going to happen if you don't teach them about sex.
    Also that sex won't be associated with love but rather just used in a physical manner.


    Which need not be wrong.

  14. Wait... on GTA Sex Game Leads to ESRB Fracas · · Score: 1

    ... if that is how you are having sex I think you are doing it wrong.

  15. Hell no! on Keystroke Logging Declared Illegal in Alberta · · Score: 1

    Privacy slide into militarystate. They pay you to do "this" - as long as you do "this" they should shut up and stay out.

  16. Re:Maybe 4 bombs on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1

    That's because you can't grieve for strangers - you have to prevent it happening to you.

  17. Re:Maybe 4 bombs on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 2

    God your an idiot. Nobody said Saddam was nice, but that doesn't give anybody else the right to be a criminal.

  18. Re:Wow. on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1

    30000 children die of starvation each day, nobody cares about them - except Bob Geldorf.

  19. Re:Seven explosions on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What I personally will never, ever get around is how someone can become so sick that they believe they are doing the Right Thing when participating in terror acts such as this.

    Any soldier who kills will say the same as his government "This is not terror this is unfortunate but necessary." Regardless of what country or faction they come from.

  20. Re:Al Qaeda group claims responsibility on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1

    One final puzzle: why didn't they do this yesterday? Bombing the Tube yesterday morning would surely have scuppered the Olympic bid...


    There is your answer right there - its the french olympic committee!

  21. Re:torrent on Opera Embedding BitTorrent Client · · Score: 1

    I'm trying to avoid them, but thanks for the tip. And yes, the problem is slow upload - which in bittorrent it means slow download.

  22. Re:Just more proof... on Opera Embedding BitTorrent Client · · Score: 1

    In fact, it is a vastly superior method that should replace HTTP/FTP for most file downloads.

    Its only "vastly superior" if you have a fast upload speed! If I have a choice between http or bittorrent its http everytime, then i have the file in 5 minuttes as opposed to 5 hours!

  23. Re:torrent on Opera Embedding BitTorrent Client · · Score: 1

    I dont' see why anyone would use a download service that's not bittorrent anymore.

    Because its so fucking slow for a lot of us...

  24. No i'm not loosing weight! on Study Finds Value in Email Spam · · Score: 1

    I'm gaining it because I have to sit all day at the computer complaining about all the spam!
