  2. Re:The other thing people dislike about Apple on iPhone 3G and iOS4 Lack Chemistry · · Score: 2

    You're confusing how long a phone lasts with how long it gets its OS updated. Why should Apple keep updating the software on old phones? As long as your phone is working three years later, why get bent out of shape about it? Should a car company update your two year old car when they introduce new models?

  3. Re:The other thing people dislike about Apple on iPhone 3G and iOS4 Lack Chemistry · · Score: 1

    My 3G is almost three years old and it should easily last another year (though I'm planning on getting an iPhone 5 before that). It looks like it won't be getting anymore iOS updates but it will still work just fine. Is that a problem?

    No, they're pocket computers that come with a cellular phone app. Really.

    Excuse me but where in the 2nd Amendment does it give you a free pass to shoot at law enforcement officers carrying out a lawful search warrant?

  6. Re:Merger of Corporations and the State on House Votes To Overturn FCC On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    You do understand that as a result of the last election Republicans got as clear a mandate as any party got in recent history?

    With a simple majority in one house of Congress? I don't think "mandate" and "history" mean what you think they mean.

    And Norplant taken off the U.S. market because all of the lawsuits. The future looks a lot like the present.

    Did you actually just use the word ufology with a straight face?

    The Ghost Adventures guys don't need to pack so much because when they go to a house (or whatever) they stay a whole night. Who knew ghosts were so prompt? (My daughter and soon-to-be-ex-wife are big fans.)

  11. Management? on Heroism Is Part of a Nuclear Worker's Job · · Score: 1

    Anybody know where plant and company management is during all this heroism? I'm guessing it's a good distance away from it.

    What about the Flat Earthers? They deserve just as much respect as the ID mob.

    ...the movie could not possibly fail if it was done right.

    I used to think that about Aliens vs. Predators...

  17. Simon & Simon on Ask Slashdot: Worst Computer Scene In TV or Movies? · · Score: 1

    I stumbled across an episode of Simon & Simon (a show I didn't watch so I don't know much about it) where their computer geek analyzed a picture of a helicopter on his PC (this was the 80s) and discovered a structural flaw in its design (that the actual designers missed, natch). That was probably typical of TV computers at the time, though.

    Please define "win".

    I'm sure the barn will have cats to take care of that.

  23. Oh, I Don't Know... on Why Special Effects No Longer Impress · · Score: 1

    There have been plenty of movies since Jurassic Park that have used CGI in impressive ways. Sky Captain, The Matrix, Sin City, and 300 come immediately to mind. For most movies it just doesn't matter, of course, because it's not used in very imaginative ways but that's true of anything in filmmaking...or anything creative, really.

    So you're saying you already have the CDs, right?
