don't get me wrong, i'm a geek and i like nerd movies too. but i want to hear about NEWS, not gossip about movies who are in the script approval stage. it just sounds like gossip or the hollywood rumour mill/hype machine at work to me.
i find this virus very interesting in that there is a need for physical proximity in order for the virus to propagate, similar to real-world viruses. in the future, will these type of virus infections be limited to certain geographical areas depending on the initial "ignition" point, or will the infection vectors be more like real-life virus outbreaks? (imaging starting an infection a new york subway versus smalltown, usa)
After returning from a hard day of hunting seal and polar bear on the pack ice in -60C weather (who knows what the hell that is in fahrenheit, -150F maybe?) and dodging all those hockey pucks, all I like to do is fire up the old 486 to heat my igloo, cook some blubber and read the news on./. but then i got mad when i saw that the ignorant american who wrote the article claims that sudbury is "near Kingston". When you are writing an article, it's a good idea to do a little bit of research so that you know what the hell you are talking about. saying that sudbury is near kinston is like saying that LA is only a short drive from New York! sudbury is about 7.5 hours from kingston, has a population of 160k in the region and is one of the world's largest producers of nickel. you americans should take the time to check out what is actually in that grey part of all those maps they show you school.
btw, you know how wide the US is? well, that's how wide canada is. and you know how tall the US on a map, well, canada is close to twice as tall as that and goes up almost all the way to the north pole. 80% of population lives nestled up to the border, no more than an 8 hour drive. we also still have LOTS of fresh water left. the exchange is only $1.51 US (not $4.50!) and we actually use a measurement system that makes sense, metric, yeah. oh yeah, and we say r-OU-f, not r-u-ff. and we certainly kick the US' ass in hockey.

when did /. become a movie news/gossip/rumor site? really, if i wanted to know about trash like that, i'd watch entertainment tonight.
