BUT, be happyt hat hollywood is paying attention lately to KEEPING its blockbuster moneymakers safe by doing a GOOD JOB!
Look at the new Batman, it has been painstakenly revamped to avoid the neon junk it turned in too... Hollywood realized they need to be careful with things dear to the audience.
They saw/see if with Star wars, and got slapped again with Star Trek, who will be taking some time off, hopefully to be reinvented with the same care as Batman is being.
And no, it's not so much that they care about us, but it will make them more money.... the laws of the box office are applying themselves to the screenwriting, and its good for you.
I mean,cmon.... think hard next time. Comics are so cliche nerd gear next you'll ask why "propeller hats" are new for nerds too.

To explain it to you, its sort of like whats going to happen to your troll post... it will be modded down, and the people who tell you what google is really doing will be modded up.
google has been trying to get rid of spam for ages... this is just one of SEVERAL techniques that go into evaluating a page.
Criminals of society being allowed to sit in a dark room on the internet all day, 365 days a year, while the rest of the world goes on around them!!!!??!?
Thats not how I'd describe criminals in prison... its how I'd describe Slashdot readers.
Is it any suprise that blue will be used by the pentagon, while it seems the axis of evil have secured red warning lazers that shoot out from both sides.
It is also notable that flying over sam jacksona house gets you grounded with a purplish blue... you know, the one says thats "bad motherfucker" on it.
you post a 1.2 meg video on the front of slashdot which activates 50,000 people with fast connections to right click and download, thus setting a server on fire...
I bet the people at NASA who are smarter in their sleep than I will ever be could never come up with that.
Hell, I bet this guy knows what the tolerances for the tanks are intricately... way more than the GUYS WHO DESIGNED IT AND MADE IT FLY FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS.
This whole article reminds me of a little dog jumping up and down saying "hey boss, what if, hey boss what if" and you just want to kick it.
Dear lord those days on the side of the soccer field really sucked the sense of humor out of you.
It's funny that they could do so much planning to go see a movie, and completely fail to check to see if the movie was showing there. It just is.
Oops, everyone laughs, and if they have a sense of humor, they will laugh as well and move to the right theater.
You'd probably be right there to make it a big f'ing deal though, and try to throw your baggage on top of them.
You think the people waiting for months outside a theater dont already have some thick skin and a healthy defense against some ridicule? You think they don't know exactly how they are perceived and dont give a sh!t because they are having fun? They do, trust me. I was IN that line standing right next to Elijah Wood (of course, we got there just a few hours before).
You should probably go down there and learn how they got over being the social outcasts and embraced who they are... you could learn something, amybe drop some baggage off too.
If you are returning to a space port in the US, we noe require a passport. If not, you may be required to stay on the moon and die, or even worse, go to Canada.
I know they put alot of time into it, yadda yadda, but when the poster for the movie says "panic struck presemts star wars revelations" I'm a little weary.:)
If you need a photoshop guy, I'm here for you, and I'll fix your poster:)
"The principle of operation is comparable with the old punch cards"
So now we feed these stamp sized cards intot he big machine, and it says "working!, working!, working!" till it spits out another stamp with the answer.
He's also forgetting that the black statue outside the coliseum in LA depicting the perfect body, is modeled from Terry Schroeder, the hole set (center in basketball) for the US Olympic team. You ever see a real polo player and you'll see the widest lats you've ever seen. I'm pretty damn big and the 'center'
Just because your friend was big didnt make him out of shape (he could very well have been though)... take a look at the offensive line of a football team and you'll call them fat, right before they break you in half and eat you as a snack.
I happen to be 6/5, 240, set records at my school for scoring, ran a marathon, and preferred what I seem to remember as chaotic neutral so I could f with people.
"However, a former employer hired several people out of my gaming group and was specifically asking me for more of them, because they were engineers, programmers and technicians"
I'm sure your former employer was looking for engineers, programmers, and technicians that happneed to be in a group (D&D players) that he could tap for the skills he needed, not the other way around. I doubt D&D played any part in it.
"Think about it. D&D attracts imaginitive players who are able to think for themselves. Now does that seem like people you want in your Army?"
If you are going to make broad generalizations about D&D players, I'll go ahead and say are you sure you want a bunch of pasty white never been outside dice rollers carrying around guns in a battlefield not taking orders because they are "thinking for themselves?".
Nope, but dont worry, this former D&D player was all state, all conference, MVP, etc in HS and college waterpolo. Not all D&D players are your typical generalization. Nor are all of them imaginative.
I have a religious view of gov? I didn't follow that one.
The point I was making is that publicizing the gap in reasoning while making another decent argument sacks your credibility as an arguer.
You could make a fantastic argument and have me head over heels, but if you tell me little green men told you the argument... I'd have to try and seperate it, but know that any leeway I gave you in hope you adhered to some scientific method in your research would be gone, and I'd double check everything, dismiss the green men, and move on.
The mind is facnating in how it believes things, its been my major focus of study for a dozen or so years. Reading something like 'Demon Haunted World' (thats where the quote was from) is like a user manual to your brain, and you get to run a self diagnosis like a droid, and its always interesting to see if the system is already to corrupted to start repairing itself.
Don't get me wrong, I don't dismiss religious people as never having good arguments, but I have found that 100% of their good arguments aren't religious. The confounding thing for me is that they will argue a point using all the tenets of reason, and then go be religious. It's such a dichotomy I can't fathom it, although I have a good understanding of it (figure that one out).
I happen to be spiritual myself, but not in the sense that an invisible man is pressing all the buttons of life, but I draw strength from the fact i know I can do things, i have confidence because of past performance, and I know what makes me happy. I need no myth for that, and i think that's where we will eventually evolve.
I think you misread what i wrote... I said I was with you...agreeing. Then you had to throw religious discourse into the argument.
If I was trying to have a reasoned discourse, and then introduced proof that i believed in things that have no proof at all, that would certainly undermine my validity as an arguer.
For you to assume that this is a religious bias is totally wrong, this is a bias against having an argument of reason with someone that refuses to apply those rules to arguments.
religious belief arent distinguishable from pseudoscience in the level of proof they present. "Hypotheses are often framed precisely so they are invulnerable to any experiment that offers a prospect of disproof, so evcen in principle they cannot be invalidated. practitioners are defensive and wary. Skeptical scrutiny is opposed."
If you didnt like that last part, ask Carl Sagan about it... he said it.
I was with you right up to the part where i realized you believe in things you have absolutely no proof of and then try to apply them to others in any form.
One can't have an argument of reason when facts and proof are nowhere to be found.

wow, slashdot has moved to a new level of nerdom when slave leia is left out and replaced with wookies and ewoks.
laverne and shirley always had the fonz pop up now and then for ratings... sooner or later vader will jump out and say "ayyyyy" with a big thumbs up.

With landing gear extended.... for her pleasure.
awesome, great two examples.
too bad I wouldnt be able to find them if you had listed the hundreds os successes inbeteen them like, say, a balanced person.
yawn....
I bet the people at NASA who are smarter in their sleep than I will ever be could never come up with that.

I understand that you need to slap the hand of an american who didnt get their passport in order, but MAKING THE STAY IN CANADA???
thats some harsh punishment.
Man, that would be a mofo.
And LAN parties, where you can walk over and hurt the guy that just stunned you to the ground... awesome.
Why not just cut out the middle man, and buy two stun guns, and go at it... woot!
I know they put alot of time into it, yadda yadda, but when the poster for the movie says "panic struck presemts star wars revelations" :)

No fucktard, this does not create a precedent for extraditing Americans to other countries.
This creates a precedence for extraditing Australians to the US. read the F'ing article asshat before you spout.
Man, everyone is so pissed about this, but I just can't seem to get up the energy to want to defend this guy since he's guilty as hell.
It seems that everyones pissed that he was commiting these crimes and they finally got sick of it and figured out a way to nail him.
This case is way out of the norm, a special circumstance in every way, and like every good system there has to be ways to address unique situations.
This to me doesnt seem like the huge abuse people are alledging, and I'm not feeling a slippery slope here either.
