  1. The trouble with Spiderman... on Spider-Man 2002 vs. Spider-Man 1992 · · Score: 1

    IMHO, has always been his foes. At least until the dawn of Venom. His arch-ememies (mainly the Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, etc.) are incredibly lame. I mean c'mon, a guy riding a hoverscooter flinging exploding pumkins?! Lame. A guy with big, thick glasses, a Moe haircut, and big metal arms coming out of his sides, that apparently grow indefinately? Lame.

    I sure hope that the sequel starts with the introduction of the living, black spidersuit. At least there you'd have a reason for the intense CGI - the suit being very fluid.

    Granted Spiderman was revolutionary in that it started to show the human level of young "superhero's" and their angst, the introduction of real foes is what saved the comic from an early death.

  2. Re:H2, not H.... on Sewage To Be Turned Into H · · Score: 1

    Do you always refer to oxygen as O2 and Helium as H2, just to be completely accurate?

    Yes, as a matter of fact, i do.

  3. Re:H2, not H.... on Sewage To Be Turned Into H · · Score: 1

    True, the symbol is H, but hydrogen doesn't normally exist in that state. You can't turn garbage in to H. You can turn it into H2.

    Wasn't there just a story posted on Slashdot of Americans ineptitude of grasping basic science concepts?

    oh well.

  5. 1-25 stock split... on "Industry Standard" Paycuts in IT? · · Score: 1

    Looks rough all the way around over at divine. Financial news rumor is that they might be issuing a 1-25 stock split...yikes!!!

    If i were the author, i'd take my two weeks vacation pay and get the hell outta Dodge!

  6. Re:DMCA anyone?...when it suits you? on Spyware Fights Back · · Score: 1

    I'd pay to see that trial.

    So what you're saying is that you would use the DMCA as long as it meets a certain set of criteria?

    You should be ashamed of yourself!

  7. other ad forms? on Slashdot Subscription Update · · Score: 2, Insightful

    These other ad formats are highly desirable...

    God help us if Slashdot resorts to floater ads. There's more than a few sites that implemented these ads that once i was subjected to, i never returned.

    I hope i don't have to find an alternative to /. because they start putting that crap here too!

  8. $500 is too much? on Flash and Open Source · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    C'mon folks. Show me another app that's as powerful as Flash for $500.

    To sum up - don't confuse open with free when you're a cheap bastard!

  11. great... on Sci-Fiction Channel To Do Myst Miniseries · · Score: 3, Funny

  13. real keyboard for handhelds on Virtual Keyboard a Reality · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't know about you, but i don't really see the utility of having to project a virtual keyboard onto a flat surface. I use the stowaway portable keyboard with my iPaq, and the thing rules. I can use it on my lap, in a meeting, on a plane...almost anywhere.

    I think you'd look kinda foolish fiddling around with you crotch on an airplane, trying to explain "Oh, no...no, no - don't call the sky marshalls, i'm typing!"

    I think this is a case of technlogy for technolgies sake.

    For now, i'll use my keyboard occasionally, and my hand predominantly, with my handheld, thank you uvery much.

  14. moderators, do your job!! on Microsoft XP License Prohibits VNC · · Score: 1

    i don't understand whow this post was modded up to 4 as being informative. NanoGator has obviously never heard of Windows terminal server, why else would he propose someone use an XP box as a terminal server, when you sould just install teminal services on a Win2K box?

    C'mon folks. just because it's a story about yet another Micrsoft license restriction doesn't mean you can't pull yer heads out of yer asses!

  15. over here....turn around.... on US Army to Try Out New, Anime-based Uniforms · · Score: 2, Funny

  16. Finally!! Get paid for doing nothing!! on Scientific American Article: Internet-Spanning OS · · Score: 1

    But they're not giving anything away for free. As her PC works, pennies trickle into her virtual bank account.

    Hmmmmm. i've got a bunch of boxes lying around - beef up the HD's, create a few accounts, let folks store their files on my machines and let the cash roll in!!!

    YES!!

  17. Re:Too much flash, not enough substance. on Macromedia Pushes Flash For All Things Web · · Score: 1

    i may get modded down for this, but you obviously have little experience with flash. Useful content is not a function of flash, it is a function of the designer of a site. Flash is a tool - a powerful one at that, used to create web content.

    Actionscript (yes there's an actual programming language in Flash) is very powerful tool that can be used to fantastic effect to produce rich, real, powerful, fun, dynamic, interactive web content. Just because someone has no design skill, and chooses Flash doesn't mean that Flash cannont be used to build useful content.

    And i'm tired of people conmplaining about Flash and Linux and the perceived mutual exclusivity. Flash and shockwave work fantastically on my boxen using mozilla, netscape and konquerer. Plus, i don't think there's any other web delivery medium that has as good a compression rate as flash.

    So get yer head out of yer ass, wake up and learn a little about a great application for web content.

  18. Not exactly new news on GPS Meets Agriculture for Precision Farming · · Score: 1

    Precision farming has been around a long time - 5 years at least. Before that there were a lot of farmers that were doing geographic sensing - using satellite imagery to see if there were moist soil areas, or other areas that yeilded better results, etc. The whole thing should work a lot better now with the (near)elimiation of Selective Availability (SA) so no more need for Differential GPS, which can get expensive to do real-time.

    There are a ton of real good applications for GPS and GPS & GIS besides findout how far from the pin you are at 14.

  20. Re:Speilberg Can't Be Outdone By Lucas on 'Indiana Jones 4' Finally A Go · · Score: 1

    i am here to judge. George can cram it up his ass. He got away with 1 good story and now he's milking it for all it's worth. E1 sucked ass, and sadly, i'm sure E2 will too.

    Steven Spielburg makes films, George Lucas made one film and is now making crap with a kid that keeps saying "yipee!!"

  24. Good riddance! on The End of The X-Files · · Score: 1

    That's what i say!

    Don't get me wrong i was a huge fan when the show first started - before they got really crazy with the whole "aliens-took-my-sister-and-my-father-wasn't-really -my-father-smallpox-vaccines-are-evil" plot line, and spun off Millenium - which took over the X-files cool show slot for a while until that too was crapped up.

    The best shows were by far the ones where Mulder and Scully where out tracking down flukeman and staking teenage vampires. That was good stuff.

    THey should have stopped the show 3 years ago.
