  1. Re:The biggest mistake on Review: Matrix: Reloaded · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't this have knocked out Naiobi's ship then?

  2. Re:ASP on What I Hate About Your Programming Language · · Score: 1
    Of course, I come from the generation who all started with assembler, so I'm biased :-)

    Wow! Coding back then must have been hard, trying to dodge roaming dinosaurs and such :P

  3. Re:Once again... on The Gospel According to Neo · · Score: 1

    The AC has a point. He made a statement, and you just said you didn't like the movie, and then you make fun of him when he points this out.

  4. Re:Good grief! on The Perfect Formula For Box Office Success · · Score: 1

    Of course they are an insult to people with intelligence. Were we supposed to believe that people with no experience could hope in a space ship, and fly in with a few weeks training?

  5. Re:Lame on Sudden Death Experience · · Score: 1

    I do like Minebuster and Wildebeast too. it's something about the fact that you aren't quite sure they will hold together that makes them fun!
    That being said, I went on Goliath at 6 flags, and now all of the coasters at wonderland seem kinda boring

  6. Re:Oh come on on First Matrix Reloaded Review · · Score: 1

    Have you considered that this movie wasn't created for academics? It was made for enigineers and programmers and salesmen and construction workers, basically anyone who wanted to watch.
    This movie does allow people that would have normally fallen asleep after five minutes of a philosophy class to start thinking about philosophy. Maybe they will take that farther, maybe they won't. Does it really matter?

  7. Re:Interesting read but.. on U.S. Says Canada Cares Too Much About Liberties · · Score: 1

    It is a gateway drug, because you have to buy it from drug dealers. Of course they are going to want to push you towareds the more lucrative market of heroin or crack.
    Now, if it was sold legitametly, it wouldn't be a gateway drug any longer

  8. Re:Hysteria. on U.S. Says Canada Cares Too Much About Liberties · · Score: 1

    Why would Canada need a military to be safe? It's amazing how little problems you have with other countries when you don't try and push them around all the time

  9. Re:Screw you, America on U.S. Says Canada Cares Too Much About Liberties · · Score: 1

    Yes, Canada does have some oil resources

  10. This isn't new on Run Your Car on Grease · · Score: 2, Informative

    This has been done before, but it's cool that other are trying it too.
    There are some great links to Biodiesel sites too. It's nice to see some people trying to take some baby steps, towards environmentally friendly vehicles, instead of just trying to go straight to the top, as is the case with hydrogen powered vehicles, which are great, but too expensive

  11. Re:Diesel Swaps on Run Your Car on Grease · · Score: 1

    Why stop with a V6, when you can get a Volkswagen V10

  12. Re:OFFTOPIC - "rm -rf" hint on Red Hat Linux 9 Release And Interview · · Score: 1

    I was going to say this precaution is over the top, but I just did crontab -r instead of crontab -e, so I know what you mean

  13. the iGrill on Networked Refrigerated Microwave · · Score: 1

    $2000??? The iFrill was only $100!

  14. Is this really a joke? on TCP/IP Header Bit Added to Improve Security · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Most people would assume that the multiple posting of this story is an April Fool's joke, but given the quaility of the editing here lately, I have my doubts

  15. Re:Laptop screens selling at a loss? on LCD Price Fixing? · · Score: 1

    I have that SyncMaster too. It wasn't cheap, but worth the extra money for the clarity, and quick refresh

  16. Shipping and Handling on Dell Takes the Low Road Regarding Ink Cartridges · · Score: 1

    Will we be able to get these non-refillable cartridges from our local office supply store? Or will we have to pay $75 plus $50 shipping and handling from Dell?

  17. Re:Lake-berating news? on Miyazaki's 'Spirited Away' Wins Best Animated Picture · · Score: 1

    Actually, this is news to anyone who reads the anime section of slashdot. All you have to do is click on your preferences, then homepage, and they you won't have to see anymore stories about anime at all

  18. Re:Impact analysis in which we get a tech clue on Local Root Hole in Linux Kernels · · Score: 1
    Just pointing out your incorrect use of sic. Sic is meant to be used with quotes, but you did not use a quote
    Sic - Thus; so. Used to indicate that a quoted passage, especially one containing an error or unconventional spelling, has been retained in its original form or written intentionally.

    If some one had said, in a previous quote, "The Expert's" then (sic) would apply, since Experts should not have an apostrohpe in it.

    I beleive what you mean to post was an emoticon of someone rolling their eyes in disbelief, doubting that these people are actually experts

  19. Re:A ruined concept on Building a Better Motorized Bicycle · · Score: 1

    In case you were really wondering, a two-stroke engine produces more power then a 4 stroke of the same size.

  20. Re:Where do we get the H? on MIT study: Diesel Beats Hydrogen For Green Car Power · · Score: 1

    These windmills would significantly add to the drag of the car, requiring more energy to be pumped into it to keep it moving. of course, if they just popped out when the car was slowing down, it may help

  21. Re:diesel on MIT study: Diesel Beats Hydrogen For Green Car Power · · Score: 1

    Or like VW currently does with the Golf (or Jetta) TDI

  22. Re:What About Amazon? on An IMDb for Books · · Score: 1

    Well, at least you signed your real name, even if you didn't have the guts without being an AC

  23. Re:Notebook != Laptop on Dell Introduces Laptop With WUXGA · · Score: 1

    It was -17C here the other day...I think I will try it!

  24. Re:A great display on Dell Introduces Laptop With WUXGA · · Score: 1

    Too bad it won't help with their astroturfing ad schemes

  25. Re:Buffy who? on Buffy the Vampire Slayer is Officially Over · · Score: 1

    Best quote to date on "The Sopranoes" : How you doin'?
