go to speilberg for what I felt was the best film I have seen in a looong time. (I do agree, it would have been a far more powerful ending if it ended when he plunged into the ocean: the ultimate humanity in a machine, the acceptance of a harsh truth and a (metaphorical) suicide, but thats neither here or there. And yet, those are cyborgs, not aliens at the end.)
congrats go for an equally good review to JohnKatz, who did the film justice.
I guess the only thing I really wish was different was the title (and I suppose the way they have marketted it). I was expecting a crazy, scifi action thriller, but instead I got a far more amazing, intellectual experience. I am glad I paid the $8.50 for this one.
Rename it to GAME. That way...like...it sounds the same..and it could stand for GTK AOL Messanger Emulator. I mean...not AOL..how about...Awesome!!! or...uh... Alright?...or or...GAME is A Messanger Emulator....
don't teach them that the web is the internet. I've lost count to how many times I have been asked if after closing IE you have to reconnect to the net.
then again...maybe you do wanna keep it simple despite it being completely misleading. it's like grammer school. They only teach you what you need to know till you are taught better.
your comment seems to implt shakespeare was the original source. That's rather silly when nearly everything he "wrote" was stolen or sourced from some other older (or current) story (already in existence).
Just another case of the idolization of Shakespeare for no good reason.
Speaking of...I think we should have a/. competition to bet on the exact second (in terms of movie runtime) at which Jar Jar is killed in Ep2. He's gotta die sometime...he's just gotta...
Here, at techhouse, at Brown University, we always have a use for old machines.
Whether it is using a 486 to play Tetris on the Science Library or set up a doom cluster or if we are really bored, dropping it at drop night. No matter what speed it is, we have a use for it. I mean, for a place where our server was only just upgraded from a p133 to a p233 3 days ago, and just cause we could, we do quite well with what we get.
Donate. It will go to good use. I promise. One of our next projects is a nice little developement linux cluster so that 4 or 5 people can sit down together and work on a project. We could use any donations you can give up.
(In all seriousness, if you are in the RI area, email me at j_hasbani @ (no spam) yahoo.com, and we would be glad to take what you got. One of our members is the head of BRUMUG, Brown Univ Mac Users Group, and she would happily take as many macs as you've got too.)
And btw, I am VERY willing to bet you will/. our server. That will suck.
That's just by the manned program. There are also a few firsts by the US in the unmanned arena, including the first flybys of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. IIRC, the US was also the first to flyby Mercury, and to land on an asteroid.
Yeh, I recall something like that. I think I saw a documentary about it a couple years ago. Weird thing is they sent up a couple of oil miners. It doesn't really make sense to me now, but I think they had a reason at the time.
entertainment has ALWAYS been the reason for innovation in the electronics market. TV? Radio? for computers: grfx cards? audio? heck, the need for more speed (cpu, ram,..) is from the demands of newer games. Cdrom drives were pushed by games (namely myst). Storage has always been about media. As far as the consumer market goes, entertainment is the thing.
you ever seen the ads for Classic TV (maybe its nick at nite)? When they take a clip from a classic show and dub over it to make it modern, and it makes no sense..kinda the same thing here.

looks like it runs in SH4. and once you got that going, think about all the things you could do! once you got telnet/ssh going, just about anything you want in a console...on a TV. woot!
in all seriousness, its always cool to have yet another OS not to run. No...seriously...it is...
how happy would windows be about this? Everytime I change the static ip of my network card I have to reset. I suppose windows is capable of releasing an ip and getting a new one... ideas?
perhaps it would be wise now not to expect security on a win box? (but that would definitly be read as a troll)
International in Hartford, CT, they have a couple similar items, with the exception that you can use them for free. Completely free internet. Just sit down, log in with your freely registered login, and surf. Heck, I even managed to pull up my computer via the vnc applet and do stuff on it. Ok speeds too. Only thing this doesn't have is phone, and who really needs to use the phone on the net? What's wrong with paying 25-35 cents for many minutes?
I was about to rate this insightful +1, then I saw he bought a N64. for the first couple years, nintendo had an exclusativity contract. You make a game for n64, it can't be made for any other system. We know how that turned out.
Nintendo didn't have the pwoer to do it, and I don't think MS will either. The fact is there is more money in supporting many systems.
dude...I swear I saw that in a movie somewhere... I think it had this guy that just kept saying "woah." Yeh yeh. then he died. then when some hot babe kissed him he came back alive. Damn. I need a hot babe near me whenever I command robots.
I was actually thinking about making the same point, but as I thought about it 2 things came up. 1) Wow..I never thought of this world (old times) in color. 2) Well duh..I have seen so many movies past on the past my mind is completely happy about it.
What's the implication here? growing up in such a media rich environment (I am only 19), I have been disensitized to such things as color. It's a given. Few things truly impress me. And if they do impress me, they become commonplace in a matter of minutes. "Wow that's amazing! Huh...I'm bored."
Yes, this is a common theme often brought up. But it begs the question, "Is it really all that hard to consider the past in color?" We've all seen...Wild Wild West. (first thing to come into my head...sorry..)
I suppose something else I considered was "Huh..this is amazing...except I could go to some random country in the eastern hemisphere and take pictures now that look like this." I was impressed and then I thought "This could all be replicated"
We are truly spoiled people. In the true sense of the word.
And the time spent talking to my cow orkers about non-work stuff?
those damned cow orkers!!! I can't get rid of 'em! Just when you think they're gone, they come and ork your cow. Now, I don't know about your cow, but my cow rather dislikes being orked. And when my cow is orked, let's just say it ain't pretty.

something cheesy along those lines.

far far more important is the fact that it's supposed to be off. Even in the original language they were off. thats half the fun.

a /. editor made a reference to a previous article in his comment. intelegently.

What if the drivers could allow you to see through Laura Craft's clothes in Tomb Rader?? Man I bet thaey could sell those drivers.
cause you don't need a driver to do that, just the nude raider patch. and let me tell you one thing: she's got some nice polygons...

Yes. Well.. not 200, but how about 60fps at max settings with 4X AA at 1024? Yeh, thats what I thought.
of course I wouldn't ever buy cd-r's that cheap. I'm cheap, but not that cheap. anything that cheap has to be too good to be true.
