  1. Hrm.... on Would You Attend a Slashdot Convention? · · Score: 3, Funny

  6. Re:Fusion and Fission vs. Solar on Sanyo Solar Ark and Giant LED Display · · Score: 2

    Not that much radioactive waste is made. I see no problem with setting aside some hole in the ground somewhere (where it can't get into the water), and putting up a sign saying: "This is the nuclear dumping ground. Don't fucking go in here because you will die."

    Or else we load it up into spaceships and shoot it into the sun. Of course we would first have to do a lot of research and design to make sure that the spaceships don't explode in the atmosphere and spread radiation everywhere.

    If you want to coat your roof with solar panels and stick windmills on your backyard, by all means go for it. Maybe if you can get a decent setup with good batteries and are lucky enough to have a decent amount of wind/sunny days and such you might not even have to buy any power from the power company anymore.

    Myself, I will keep getting my power from Indian Point 3. And you never know, maybe when we get fusion power you will be able to build a small one in your basement and pour some deuterium in every few days, who knows?

    You're complaining that it's only good for pop music, but at the same time complaining that you're having problems finding MOVIE SOUNDTRACKS?

    Now excuse me while I go download my pop music such as A Silver Mt. Zion, Godspeed You Black Emperor!, Autechre, Merzbow...

    By the way... search for Indiana Jones...

    Entire "Temple of Doom Soundtrack", 128Kbps though, on a T3 (i tried it, connection maxed out my DSL Line), and 320Kbps of the entire "Raiders of the Lost Ark" soundtrack on Cable, plus assorted stuff from "The Last Crusade", along with a few video files of each, and apparently some ROMS of Indiana Jones NES games...

  12. Re:maybe lucas needs to do what he used to on The Empire Stumbles · · Score: 2

    I agree with you that they needed to drop the CG characters. Muppet Yoda looked much much better than the obviously fake CG Yoda.

    I think that most of Yoda's scenes should have had a Muppet and just use the CG for the fight.

    As for the fight - he is using the force to be able to move fast. He's such a great Jedi he can do that, but not all the time.

    Speak for yourself. My vision is hella messed up in my right eye and I can still see stereoscopic images....

    Of course, if you're totally blind in one eye than you can't see stereoscopic images, but if you're totally blind in both eyes you can't see any images, so we should stop developing all display technology.

  18. Re:This kinda takes the fun out of... on Techies and Trekkies Unite! · · Score: 2

    The Renaissance faire I work at (New York) has supposedly had an "away party" of Trekkies come to visit once a year, although in my 2 years I missed them the first year and they never showed the second year.

    One guy told me the story about how he went up to them and started screaming at them for violating the Prime Directive when he had worked so hard to establish himself as one of the natives and asking for their serial numbers to report them to Starfleet.

    I don't think they were ever kicked out or anything so it's probably a different faire.

    They are compact discs, but they aren't CDDA (Compact Disc Digital Audio). If you look you will notice most regular audio CD have that logo on there, but ones that violate the Redbook standard aren't allowed to have it.

    A music CD with no CDDA logo means:

    a)It has copy protection.

    b)They put too much music on the disc.

    c)It has hidden tracks.
