  1. How about doing something USEFUL ... on One Last Campout for Star Wars Fans · · Score: 1

    If this dude has four months to kill, why can't he contribute to make the world a better place by helping with the tsunami recovery or getting involved with any number of other worthy causes out there in the world. This is incredibly selfish and just plain freakin' stupid. What a complete jackass . Don't get me wrong, I saw Episode IV 27 times in the theater when it first came out, but I WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD. Grow up people, it's just a goddamn movie.

  2. Along these lines ... on Smartcard Support for Panther? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Is there a way to emulate Windows Digital Certificate functionality on the Mac? I used to successfully use Netlock's VPN client software for OS X and a token (keychain LCD-type), but my company recently did away with the tokens and now uses a combination of the same client software we were using before + a Windows Digital Certificate. I think the answer is a short and simple "no" but I figured I'd ask since we're talking VPNs on the Mac.

  3. "Yet another?" on Yet Another Mac OS X Protocol Handler Exploit · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah, and that brings the total number up to two or three exploits. Let's all just switch back to Windows--it's obviously a superior, more secure operating system!

    Nice freakin' headline.

  4. Re:Who wants any surprises? on Star Wars: AOTC Reviews Pour In · · Score: 1

    I disagree with the notion that Lucas was "responding to critics" in Jedi when he redeemed Vader. Myths, specifically the ones on which SW is based (don't even get me started on the SW/Wagner Ring Cycle comparisons), are FULL of redemption stories just as this. You seem to claim he read Entertainment Weekly, wherein some idiot reviewer wrote, "Does Vader have to be quite so evil?" and Lucas susbsequently re-wrote Jedi based on that, which I absolutely don't buy.
