  1. Re:Cape Canaveral, Florida! on A Geek's Tour Of North America? · · Score: 1

    I second the recommendation, and, as I'm the on-site computer monkey, I extend an invite also. Let me know at dlz AT astro DOT caltech DOT edu if you want a tour...lots of fun toys to climb around in here.

  4. Re:Hmm on Review: Men In Black II · · Score: 1

    I hate plot-holing sci-fi movies, but where would they get their money?

    Didn't they sell/license lots of nifty alien technology? Or have I hit the bong one to many time....:)

  6. Re:mit distro center is still up on DMCA Attacks: NAI Tells Sites To Remove PGP (Updated) · · Score: 3, Informative

    well, I just tried to download it...no dice. The site is up, but you can't download.

  7. Re:Anime gives geeks a bad image on Akira Being Rereleased · · Score: 1

    Anime usually doesn't go through the MPAA rating system. This means that all the adult (I use the term loosely) film is mixed in with the other stuff, and a person who doesn't know much about anime is likely to get burned. That isn't a good reason to trash a whole genre...the reasoning you've presented would ban every form of art in existence.
    While there is lots of nasty anime out there, there are also works of sublime beauty. I recommend just about anything by Hayao Miyazaki (here's a good fan website: http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/). His stories are beautiful, well thought out, and suitable for just about any age range. As for Akira? Yes, it has violence, but at the same time it tells an exciting and thought-provoking story about the abuse of human potential.

  8. Re:akira vs. ghost in the shell on Akira Being Rereleased · · Score: 1

    I liked ghost a little better, but only a little. Akira is definitely groovy.

  9. Re:a large comet on Some Demote Pluto To Non-Planet · · Score: 1

    large enough to keep its own moon
    But then again, so are asteroids, as the Galileo probe found out with Ida and Dactyl.

  10. Re:Privacy on Kid Clicks For Sale · · Score: 1

    No. In the article it talks about how the new law only protects against personal information being gathered, not general statistics.
