  1. Re:excellent! (POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT) on League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen Trailer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is an excellent Alan Moore comic book (Watchmen, From Hell, etc.) but from looking at the trailer (two days ago at the Daredevil movie) I can already tell that they're taking liberties with the story and characters. The most blatant of these IMO is Wilhemina Murray (Harker) who in the comic (and the book) never becomes a vampire. In the trailer, she's manifesting out of bats, etc. I guess having a regular but strong woman-figure among the likes of Captain Nemo, Allan Quartermain, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, and the Invisible Man was just not enough for viewing audiences. A good (well-researched comic) that will be gutted in the movie.

  2. Re:Why a chip? on Going Cyberpunk · · Score: 2, Funny

    Uh, no thanks. The last thing I want is a Microsoft Service Pack applied to my brain. Can you imagine the EULA for that?

  3. Re:What happens on TiVo switches off UK sales · · Score: 1

    In the US, it gives you an option. A little window pops up that says "Do you want to continue to watch this, or change channel to record the other show". I imagine they all work similarly.

  4. Re:Gag. on Lab-Grown Steak · · Score: 1

    I've been waiting for this breakthrough for some time (I guess in some respects I'm still waiting). I guess my question is, will this have any effect on vegetarians? Will we see PETA supporters eating steaks, or will they find some reaosn to be against this too?!

  5. Re:Is it really? on New Frozen World Found Beyond Pluto · · Score: 1

    It's doubtful that the "new" ice-rock is a planet, since the only reason Pluto is classified as one is that it was too unpopular to reclassify it as an asteroid.

  6. Re:Only probing the address he made public... on How The DMCA Is Enforced · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I wonder if Ted Kaczynski reads Slashdot. Probably not with that whole anti-tech thing, huh.

  7. MS WiFi on Microsoft To Make Wireless Networking Hardware · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It will probably be the first router, WiFi device that is not compatible with *ix, Mac, etc.

  8. Re:On the other hand... on Spielberg Denied Crack at Star Wars · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'd like to see Ridley Scott do E3. After all, this is all about someone descending into darkness...

  9. Expensive Bytes on Information Valuation - The Most Buck for the Bits? · · Score: 1

    How about M$ source code passwords.

  10. Re:Neverwinter Nights isn't an MMORPG. on Interplay Targeted By Bioware-fare · · Score: 1

    Ummm... You can play it online and with up to 64 people on a server. Sounds like a MMORPG to me, though smaller than EQ, DAoC, AC, etc...

  11. Re:Anyone heard about Comcast's backup plan? on Excite Could Go Dark On Friday · · Score: 1

    NetZero, wonderful...

    Oh well... I guess Comcast@Home's backup plan (if that's what you call it) doesn't include it's Mac users, because NetZero doesn't support any MacOS.

  12. AirPorts on Cable Co's Want More Control Over Your Network · · Score: 1

    Speaking of 802.11b usage between neighbors *ahem*... Can anyone point me in the direction of instructions on how to increase the range of an Apple AirPort? Just for curiosity's sake .
