  1. does this fool EVER say anything on Attack of the Clones Leaked · · Score: 1

    bad About a movie? I have read a number of this guys reviews and they are always the same " OH MY GOD!! THAT MOVIE GAVE ME A STIFFY!!" or "HOLY SH!T THAT MOVIE MAD ME HAVE AN ORGASISM!"

    what ever dude. I have always found Movie reviews to be a waste of time. Choose any movie at any time, and look up some reviews for it. Oh my what a surprise you always find good ones (or at least you find a lack of bad ones). This guy is just another cog in the machine, there to churn out "wow this was a good movie" reviews for the RIAA and studios.
    I am beyond sick of the crap they try to spoon feed us. Movies should be more like "The brotherhood of the Wolf" at least was decent. To bad it was made in europe and we won't see many others come from over there. Hollywood has become nothing more than the great passifier for the public.

  2. that would be sweet! on Census Bureau Wants 500,000 Handhelds in 2010 · · Score: 1

    I know from firsthand exp. that would make things MUCH more simple. however it wouldn't work in alot of areas, such as mountian communities where thetre is wireless service, hell you're lucky to dialup in the mountians! but in the larger areas (where the bulk of the population is) it would make things go alot faster.

  3. Re:Whoa, doesn't the US protect its citizens ? on Loki Aftermath Looks Bad · · Score: 1

    not really. I remeber one company I worked for failed to deliver on the payroll, I stopped working that very second, and told my boss I'm outta here until you can pay me.

    I got my paycheck in full as a cashiers check within three hours. No one else did what I did and they didn't ever get paid. I spen the rest of the day looking and working my network to get a new job. I left that place far behind, and it eventually went under.
    Moral of the story: don't work for free damnit, if they owe you stop work until you are paid, it is your right as an employee.
    its just that simple. I am aloways shocked that anyone would continue to work and not be paid.

  4. Oh ya on Exploding Star May Have Damaged Life on Earth · · Score: 1

    like a new supernova is the ever-present worry on my mind.....

  5. cut him some slack on Star Wars II Trailer Online · · Score: 1

    personally I don't give a bloody damn what the rest of /. thinks I liked the trailer. just from the looks of it it COULD have the makings of a good movie so long as lucas spent the time between battles to fully develop the characters and story line. his past history works against him HOWEVER he could still come through.
    The only way he could have that much fighting and still "grow" the characters is to have the movie be at least 2 hours(min) long, better would be like 2 1/2 to 3. let us all keep the hope alive.

    And to all you lucas bashers out there GIVE THE MAN A BREAK HE FUBAR'D ONE STINKIN' MOVIE, GIVE HIM A BIT OF A CHANCE WILL YA!

    I had this propblem when I tried to return a new laptop I bought (it was a mega POS) but the guy could suddenly not speak english, so I made it appear like I gave up and was just looking arround the store. so he started yapping to his buddy in Japanese (yes i can speak it decently) about how dumb and clusless I was. Well after a few minutes of this I walked back up to the counter and asked in his own language if I could return it now that he was done insulting me.

    The look of shock is one that i will never forget!! I also got my money back. :)

    this is very bad. it starts out this way but as we have seen it WILL progress into something more and more until we have no rights or privacy left.

  14. Re:Stupid... on Borking Outlook Express · · Score: 1

    they shouldn't, and I for one don't. If those that use outlook want to continue to do so, fine. If they want to read e/mails of that type then change to a different client.

    If you went to dinner at a fancy five star restaurant, and they stopped you at they door saying something like "I'm sorry you must be wearing a tux to eat here", or if I said sorry no one wears a blue shirt in MY car buddy! would you freak out ??

    No, because it is not your restaurant, or your car. you don't like it eat somewere else, or ride in another car.

    yes I know it is a simplification but the meaning is still the same. so GET OVER IT!!


  15. Re:Depends (not the adult diaper) on Document Retention - How Long is Too Long? · · Score: 1

    He, I worked at a company that touched anything older than 12 months for documents (excluding things like endgineering specs ect..) erased email after 6 moths and wiped HD's every 9 months. then again I left because they practiced some um.. QUESTIONABLE business ethics.

  16. Re:Title? How about... on 'Indiana Jones 4' Finally A Go · · Score: 2, Interesting

    thats because:

    A) they are the "old guard" of movies

    B) have made so many good ones ( and some bad ones) that the name they carry brings in people.

    C) have stunt doubles with good makeup, in a controlled enviroment.

    D) there really haven't been any other REALLY REALLY good actors pop up in recent years (maybe so the old guard could still command the prices that they do?)

    my two cents.....

    ok lets get this over and done with....

    A) SOME people feel the US is the land of the free ect.. and are dying to get in.

    B) OTHERS like where they live and see the US walking around the world in big boots stomping on everyone telling them what to do ect....

    I live here and hate what is being done in the rest of the world, I didn't vote for those morons in office. but I have to deal with it because so many others do not question what they have been spoon feed for their whole lives. so Yes what US is doing in some places is wrong and in others not. too bad it is more of the former than the latter.

  19. Re:Enforcement SOP on Business Software Alliance "Grace Period" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The company I work for got one of those letter about 6 months ago, followed by a phone call. The sys admin laughed it off and hung upon the the BSA guy. I guess they were pissed so they charged the company with not being compliant (even thought they had NO proof) when we went to court our laywer simple gave the judge proof that we use LINUX on our servers and a combo of LINUX/FreeBSD/mac os X on the desktops. judge got pissed at the BSA for wasting his time and not doing any research. I know this is an uncommon example but it was alot of fun to watch the whole thing unfold. After court ended our sys admin just laughed and told the BSA guy thanks for paying our lawyer for us. in the end we walked away without really paying much. it was cheaper but took longer. but to our bean counters the bottomline is all that matters.

    which isn't likely from what we think we know about the universe


    that is the point. everyday we (scientists) are finding out new things about the universe as well as discarding old views and theroms. Just look at some of the newest things such as a brown dwarf being found so close to a primary. we thought that couldn't happen....until we found one. there very well could be some massive stash of antimatter laying around out there, or at least a simpler way or making it....you never really know what you might find out there....

    part of one of my many jobs is work with manufac. paople and that having been said I know for a fact that this is very typical for manufacturing. it goes with the territory of building something. EVERY type and place that does manufacturing has troubles like this. I hate Micro-shaft just as much as the next person, however the parent to this is right I think this is just slash jumping on anything they can, and I am torn between saying "Come on guys give it a break for once", and saying "YA down with da man !!"
