  1. Re:good on Stargate Universe Cancelled · · Score: 1

    They didn't just overlap, they were straight up copied. The young good humored wise cracking leader. The socially bumbling scientist. (The difference is that sam changed to be very sociable whiel Rodney never did). The peaceful translator and anthropologist archetype. The troubled warrior. SG1 worked because of the chemistry and that the stories were original. This was not the cast with SGA.

    The counterpoint to that argument would be to point out the success fans had in resurrecting Family Guy and Futurama.

    Everything was wrong with Atlantis. It was like a cardboard copy of the original without any of the soul. Shepherd was like a copy of Jack, Rodney was a stand in for Sam, Ronin was a satndin for Teal'c etc. It was worse because while the original characters were likable and had history, the Atlantis team were cliched and forced. I mean, they called the muscle guy Ronin FFS. The only original episode they ever did was when the shuttle was stuck halfway between the gate. That was it.

    And what the fuck was with the last episode where they just wormholed across time arbitrarily? Why the fuck has that not even come up in SGU as a way to get them home?

    People have to separate the channel as a whole from the actual news shows. Their actual news is fairly decent and objective. The rest of the shows on that channel are pure columnist style speculation and opinion however.

    Hmm, didn't work :( At the moment for exampke it shows 8 comments abbreviated, and 132 more. I don't want to have to click more each time to get comments and then drag the sliders each time to abbreviate them.

    I appear to have broken slashdot.

    My stories now load in a way that I have to click "More" a few times to get all comments.

    Is there any way to have them load all comments by default, and is there any way to have it set that the majority of comments are abbreviated by default?

    I want to do this with D2, and at least comments were fully expanded a few days ago before I broke it so it is possible....

    I know I shouldn't post here but there isn't exactly a tech support line....any help appreciated!

    Two you should check out are My Name Is Earl (cancelled after 4 seasons, it's on DVD and hilarious. No laugh track, either!) and The Big Bang Theory, one episode of which had Nobel Prize winning astrophysicist George Smoot ("With all due respects, Dr. Cooper, are you on crack?") and Summer Glau (from the Terminator TV series) playing themselves.

    MNIE is pure awesome, but TBBT is just crap. If you find 80's nerd sterotypes and cliches funny in modern day, then I guess it's kind of funny....

    I've just never understood why people say that. Seasons 11 and 13 were a bit off, but some of the best eps were in season 12, 15 was awesome....16 and 17 were kin d of off....18, 19 and 20 were awesome. 21 was sodding terrible...one bad season imo...then the current season has been pretty strong, going back to its sentimental roots in a way.

    Either the OpenBSD team, for all their talk (and much of it is just talk) thay are not that great at spotting security problems and their auditing makes little difference. Alternatively, they were complicit in allowing this ti happen.

    Personally I think it is the former...the project has never been that strong from a security standpoint, relying far too much on the meaningless secure by default mantra.
