  1. Re:Who cares? on Prepare To Be Watched While You Watch a Movie · · Score: 1

    No, they won't. There's something that an at home movie doesn't have that a theater does. The experience. It's mainly an enticement for the socially attracted - either simply to go out with friends, or see that movie with your girl, or to play jokes on people there(as I am wont to do from time to time). Which explains why everyone commenting here is of the opinion that theaters should die ;). But don't try to say that they actually will. In spite of yours and 99% of /.er's opinions, some(read: way more than you think) people enjoy going out to a movie. Even, gasp! In 3D!

    Let the flames begin?

    I definitely should have sneaked food in with me to that one. I didn't eat dinner, and came out at 10pm. Great movie though.

    Actually, I think he has a point here. While this article might be on a slightly different subject, the above rant does have ground. If, in the future, we stimulate our immunes into responding every time we get sick, will our immunes become lax without the stimulant? Stop responding altogether? It is a consequence we need to consider.

    Because its versatility allows it to be. I can watch pretty much any video with vlc, no matter the format, so it's useful for watching the videos I download, especially when I don't feel like converting them.

    Actually... those two have no correlation, what are you talking about? That would be true if all IRC channels were owned by botnet proprietors, and used for distribution, but unless that's true, the IRC needs to know for a fact that a botnet is being expanded through their channel and ignore it(and, to keep in flow and context, profit from it) before they become responsible.

  7. Re:Well that was disappointing on Heroic Engineer Crashes Own Vehicle To Save a Life · · Score: 1

    I misread it, and thought a man was slumped over the F22's wheel(?), and he stopped the F22 with the minivan. I really need to get more sleep.

    Then you know dozens who are unbalanced in their nutrition. While it's true that they might use supplements or another source for the missed protein and vitamins, the fact of the matter is that humans need what meat supplies, and always have. Saying its a lifestyle choice is a clichéd and blatantly ignorant, "politically correct" dismissal of a sensible argument. We may have created substitutes for the meat some neglect to eat, but again, the fact is that humans need what meat supplies. Substitutes were created for those that neglected that side of nutrition. A replacement, invented solely for those that refused the health benefits of another creatures flesh.

    I don't agree with the guy much, but if you're going to stretch it that far, then most any action organized by humans is considered "unnatural". Chances are, you understood his point and are now twisting it, just as I am yours. I think the most logical line that can be drawn here is that each species has its own practices natural to its kin. Take from that what you will, but do understand this; many cross-species... erm... relationships, have bad results(Ligers and Tiglons are good examples). Health deficits and deformities are not uncommon in that arena. Now I don't believe that any human has given birth to their horse-lover's baby, but there's no reason to consider something like that as natural. As for moral, one man's "moral" may be different from the next. There's no victory to claim there.

    I agree that they are idiots. For being lax. Daily life should be managed the same as every day before. The Christian population of the day is so lazy it's not even funny, even(especially?) when it comes to spiritual matters.

    But when considering current technology, current techniques and methods... 3-D sucks.

    ...I'm starting to think we're close to the same opinion.

    Color enhanced the experience in most people's opinion. Stereo enhanced the experience in most people's opinion. 5.1 enhanced the experience in most people's opinion. 3D on the other hand detracts from the experience in many people's opinions. See how that works? When something I think is a gimmick is added just to try and make more money off selling 3D glasses that makes the movie worse in many views, it is not an enhancement.

    Emphasis mine. You're in the minority, if you say the first three detract from the experience. See how that works? Kthxbye.

    How about we levitate the moped as well, and give it small rockets. Then we'll see if, given a year or two, it can build up speed for the tractor. Still imperfect, but closer.

    There has to be a counter to that extreme pressure, after all. It's sort of like letting a rope go when another person is pulling on it - they go flying a bit further than they meant to. With that said, I don't know how it works exactly; the mechanism somehow keeps their internal pressure the same as the ridiculous pressure outside.
