  1. come again on Human clones priced at $50,000 · · Score: 1

    I see all these people talking about cloning and how its not a big deal, and I'm starting to see that they are right. Maybe its not that big of a deal, but what is the point to cloning??? to see what you would have looked like if you hadn't fallen off that bridge?

    It seems that my whole concern the whole time was that why would some one do something like this. I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything this is a seriouse question. I wanna know why any one would want to clone some one.

  2. anime isn't all the violence you could expect on Violence's Niche In Cartoons · · Score: 3

    To me they seem to say that violance on T.V. is generated from anime. I don't think so buddy. There was violence in batman way before there was anime on the tele. I remember batman throughing people through buildings and such while leaving outhers for dead. Not all were dead. Acualy most wern't but some were.

    To compare it to old school saterday morning type shows you can't because save by the bell is a school show. not to many things like that happend for violence except when slater decideds that he wants to put some nerd in a head lock and give him a noogy. But there was violence. I meant take tails from the cript,not much for violence but don't you think that a dead corpse talking to people telling stories that are "a real scream huhahahaha" isn't going to scare a little kid. Or the original batman throughing the Joker out a window isn't violence. No my friends as I see it the only thing anime did was give people like this joker some one to blame for all the violence on tv.

    also I would like to remind you of shows like tom and jerry. or bugs bunny were they drop anviles on there heads. so there might now have been blood. but so what that only says that nothing will happen if you have an avile dropped on you. or be punched in the face by a chicken.

    there is nothing more wrong with buggs bunny and the original batman/superman than there is with dragon ball z and other type shows except that dragon ball z has more of a story than I'll just fly at the guy and hope that he falls over I don't care if I don't know if hes evil.

    I recall that before cell became most powerful one of the androids that was suppose to be evil that batman or super man would have destroid in a second was spared by one of the good guys. why?? because he saw that there was good in the robot and did want it dead. is that bad morals?? I'll leave you with that

  3. Re:What parents really have to ask themselves is.. on Violence's Niche In Cartoons · · Score: 1

    In my oppinion Barney is a closet petifile. I mean why is he going around touching little kids all the time and hugging then. One of my friends little sisters had a video game on sega of barney walking around searching for little kids and hugging them. If any thing were is the moral that they are suppose to learn. They don't learn how to share cause its a one player video game. and why arn't people worried about a purle dino walking around? I think a normal one would scare me just as much. but a bright purple thats just crazy.

    Any how your reply didn't make much sense. cause I was any ways talking about anime not barney and I dunno why that would make people point and laugh at there peers. cause I was saying that some of the hard core anime wasn't ment for young people(2-10 mainly). it was ment for older people.

  4. I don't think its pointed toward little kids on Violence's Niche In Cartoons · · Score: 1

    I dunno But it seems more and more like the good old comics are focused towards teen agers and adults. When Cartoon comes on at 10:00 to 11:00 I don't think you should expect to see man 3-9 year olds wanting to watch it. Also shows like dragon ball z have a story line to it that MOST people under the age of 5 arn't going to understand and MOST people under the age of 13 arn't going to bother watch. The only place I know that it comes on for a saterday morining cartoon is in Japan for all I know, and thats there problem. "I" think as long as it stays on late night television it should be able to stop younger people who do watch the show not watch the show. Because for the most part parents are home and should be able to controll what there children watch. To thouse who ARE home and let them watch and complain its too violent should block the chanel if they CAN(not all televions do let you). or try something else besides complain. I "think" most people are aware of that and that is why there arn't that many complaints as before with power rangers and shows that come on after school with mild violence like digi mon (never watched it) and poke mon (I don't think poke mon is that violent maybe kids will fight with animal dolls instead of eachother)

  5. this is the best kung fu movie I seen on Review: 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' · · Score: 1

    I don't think any kung fu movie could ever beat the drunken master II with jackie chan. I seen the subtitled version and I'm waiting for the dubbed version right now that I think should be in theaters but I haven't heard anything about it in months. But this movie not only has crazy kung fu action its a comady too. You get to see jackie chang stumbling around drunk and laughing while he kickes the bad guys ass. This is one of the funniest/ sweetest kung fu movies.

  6. Re:What I could have said to make it more clear on Review: "The Sixth Day" · · Score: 1

    To rectify what I said once more. I would like to say that when I said that it could cure people with disabilities. But then I also said that that could also be considerd playing god, by doing something un-natural. So I was kinda saying that I was contradicting what I was saying and that I wasn't too sure where I stand on the topic of genetic mipulation. But I do stand on the fact that people shouldn't be cloned. And if you think that I'm contradiciting what I said again in the comment about looking at extinct animals. I was just pointing out that you maybe you could take the dna and be able to tell how that animal works or something like that, and I'm still not sure where I stand on that just like the genetic manipulation.

    Now I'm no friggin scientist so don't think that I'm trying to be smart. I'm just trying to say my point of veiw wether it be single minded or out of focas or what ever.

    Sorry if I confused people. I probly should be more clear when I comment on something when I know people can't read my mind.

  7. Does it on Most Linux Distros Won't Run on Pentium 4 · · Score: 1

    This is more of a question. Does unix operating systems like netbsd and such work on the new PIV or have there been any tests. Cause that is inportanat for me because I run that on my newer freebsd box and want to know if I should get athlon or a PIV.

  8. Re:Downside of cloning? on Review: "The Sixth Day" · · Score: 1

    The down side of cloning is having genticly alterd people that could lift buildings and kill us all. now don't you see the confict of intrest in that???

    Death is comming I just hope I'm the one to do it :)

  9. What I could have said to make it more clear on Review: "The Sixth Day" · · Score: 1

    I know that crazy action movies are usualy obserd. But arn't most movies out there?? think about that for a second. You have the movie star wars. witch is a space movie were people can move things with the force. that sounds kinda obserd. but what isn't these days. The fact that the U.S. can't even pick there own president is kinda obsurd. Now lets look the fact that I think that cloning is evil isn't what I was getting at.

    I said that it was moraly wrong to clone a human. People shouldn't be playing god. But on the other hand cloning has done some things for people. It has made them understand people with disabilties through looking at the dna of people. And I think that it will eventualy lead to cures of some disabilities. This you could also say is playing god and that these people deserve to die but I think we should do what ever is posible to help people by munipilating dna. But not screw them over by cloning them

  10. I hate cloning on Review: "The Sixth Day" · · Score: 1

    Movies are the only place that really talk about it??? Thats because no one really sees the effects of cloneing. If you think about it how would you react if some one that looked and talked like you came into your home and slept with your wife/girl friend. I would flip out and shoot the basterds down thats what I would tell you. You wanna make a life. I'll F*@#! take a life you better watch your back if you clone me cause I'm a vengful mofo.

    But any ways Cloning is evil in all cases but endangerd species. I think we should do all we can to preserver there dna so that if some day we wanna say hey what did the Lama look like. We can pull out some dna and look. But other than that its evil I tell you strait up evil!

  11. Re:All movies based on games suck on Do-It-Yourself "Dungeons and Dragons" Film Review · · Score: 1

    What about a game like shemue or final fantasy, all they are is plot and you just have to live them out in the game. I think the only problem with games to movies is that they change the plot too much from the game and it dissapoints the gamers which are alot because the game had to be big enough to make a movie out of it.

    Mortal Kombat wasn't that bad was it??

  12. internet good on Bringing The Internet To Borneo -- By Sea · · Score: 1

    I hope that they bring internet into melasia. I think that the more people are open to the internet the more they are open to other cultures. I've heard lots of things over the years about stereo types and all of them have been proven by my encounts online..

  13. what I have seen to support new wireless internet on Is The Wireless Internet Not Ready For Prime Time? · · Score: 1

    I was going to get a wireless connection but it hasn't finished the testing stage in my area so I went for dsl. :( any ways thats a whole other story. What I want to say is that the company were I live that is offering high speed via wireless communication isn't in trouble finantualy at all this is because they added something verry neat to there service. Digital cable. This work alot like a satelite dish but offers fewer chanals. This is there primary buisness so if there wireless internet doesn't do too well then who cares. This is a good way to get into the buisness I think because you have something to fall back on its like going to the NFL with a collage degree.

    My thoughts mean nothing in the long run so don't think too much of them.

  14. No Problem... on Is The Internet Destroying Spanish? · · Score: 1

    I don't think that it's a big deal because the guy that invented it was the one who got to name it. So if anything people who speek Spanish should invent some stuff to make every one feal better.

  15. Re:Nintendo has shot their foot off on Nintendo GameCube Preview · · Score: 1

    I don't know what your talking about when you say that most people have bought the console they want for christmas allready. Because if your refurning to the PS2 witch I think that you are you have to be insane. This is because NO ONE can get a PS2! were have you been the last 3 months.

    Anouther thing that was said before you don't buy a console system to watch dvd. You buy it for the games. What has this world come to when you can over price a product and under sell it have crapy games and people still flock to buy it. PS2 has nothing I would want besides UT and I would rather play that on computer.

    One last thing DC is almost as good as PS2 and the go for 200 dollers in canada. And I like it (though I will probly buy the new Gamecube just because I love nintendo)it replaced my 64 verry nicely even thought I cry myself to sleep now that Zelda 2 is comming out ;(

    About the dvd fight. buy a new dvd player if you want or watch vhs come on there not that bad. and a dvd player isn't insanely priced that you would have to buy a 500+ system to play them. I mean you have to play the games too thats what there made for!

  16. Re:Wait a minute. on Successful Bionic Hand · · Score: 1

    The fact that this type of thing runs on nerve impulses is amazing. But the fact that you have to get used to it as a child is not. The reason is that you learn more as a child then at any age. and to learn how to use the bionic arm would not be impossible but it would be much easier for an ifent then an adult, this is because we lose the ability to learn things as quick as we do when were young that is why some people with hearing ads that didn't have them when they are young have problems with speach there whole life.

  17. What happend on Napster Usage Quadruples · · Score: 1

    I think what this proves is that the music industry has screwed them selves. They gave napster there name. With all the law suits and contraversy over it, people have come more aware of online music. So more people went and got the software.

    This would also work great for the music industry if they could come up for a way of using this. By that I mean make money, but not charge people for it like some companies do because the music is so easily bootlaged. So perhaps they could come out with high quality music besides mp3 that had say an ad at the end of it. You listen to it once then if you know how you can cut out the ad. Though the edited copy would probly still get sent out, but I'm just trying to come up with a GOOD compermise.

    -Screw you I know my spelling sucks

  18. Re:"god-i-hate-this-crap" department on Metallica Vs. Harvard · · Score: 1

    You know that your not being funny when you say stupid things. Thats left to Metallica. You know when they say they think that napster is bad. Thats funny.

  19. Rants that don't make sense on Metallica Vs. Harvard · · Score: 1

    I know what all you people keep saying about how Metallica is a bunch of babies, and its all true they can't handle the fact that they arn't supper popular any more (though I would still go to a concert) so they focase on something like napster to keep them happy. I think this sucks, because for I don't know how long before napster came out I would get mp3's off of things like irc and ftp's that had them.

    I think that they are just crying for some atention from all there soon to be x fans (soon to be because they keep winning all the time) and no one wants to hear about it. But if we stop shouting maybe they won't care any more and stop saying Napster is gay and stuff.

    Any ways the point I was trying to make is if we don't pay atention maybe they will dissapear er something and they will look for anouther way to get people's atention

  20. I don't know but I thought on New Power-Sipping Chips From Intel · · Score: 1

    I dunno for sure but when I originaly read about the transmeta's cruso I got the picture that it was 75% software. Now I haven't heard anyting about the new intel version of this but so far I haven't heard anything like that. also I when cruso was anounced they were taling about how much power was being used while they were playing Q3(I think it was Q3) and running a dvd player. Well it still wasn't using much over 1 watt as far as I could see. Anouther thing is that this new intel chip is suppose to be 500 Mhz aposed to transmeta's cruso being 700-750 Mhz (not sure wich) but unless there clocked at alot slower speed I think I would perfer the Transmeta's Crueso. On the other hand what takes the pentium 1 clock cycle could take the crusoe 5 clock cycles due to the code morphing. so I guess I'll just have to see
