  1. Re:What? on Linux Based HD DDR used on Starship Troopers 2 · · Score: 1

    I totally agree! It's (by far) one of my favourite movies.

    Must be an Australian thing... we seem to prefer (and get) subtle humour a bit more than Americans :)

  2. Keeps us from getting bored on Finding the Viscosity of Pitch · · Score: 5, Informative

    The experiment is sitting in a glass cabinet just outside one of the lecture theatres used for a lot of first and second year engineering and science lectures.

    When I started in first year (1999), the pitch had formed into an interesting drop, and it provided students with a pretty geeky talking point while waiting for lectures to start.

    I remember when we went for holidays one year, and came back to find that the drop had fallen! Everyone was a bit pissed (understandably) that it had fallen during uni hols.

    Apparently the rate of drop formation is slowing down due to the air conditioning in the building. Or at least thats a rumour circulating around UQ.

  3. These reviews are good. on The Pledge · · Score: 1
    I have not heard of this movie outside of /. and I probably wont for a while yet (hailing from the land of Oz 'n' all). The Pledge is not the sort of film I would normally see, but JonKatz review makes me want to see this film.

    These movie reviews really provide me with some alternate ideas on films that are not my usual type, allowing me to experience different genres. This exposure can only be A Good Thing.
