I hate to tell you this, but in case you haven't seen both the original and the remake, the current Starbuck would kick the original Starbuck's ass in a New York Minute.
I'm 32, the original was easily my favorite television show of all time, and I think the new version is excellent.

Of course I realize you were responding to a person and not the story itself. Let's review your statement again, since you're trying to misdirect...

See, your tripe isn't that hard to wade through. You're appointing yourself arbiter of who gets membership in the geek club based on their taste of music. "You, you're cool. You're in. You, no way. You're out."

It's funny that you would think my day got worse by reading your post. Allow me to explain.
I used to read Slashdot but I eventually stopped, mostly because of pricks like you, shitting on every idea, every post, every thought with no value added. It's the same story for anyone who elevates themselves by bringing other people down.
Every six months or so I peek my head back in to see if Slashdot has improved. Within two whole minutes of my semi-annual return, I found your worthless screed. Modded up, no less, proving that the vast majority of the readership still has it's head firmly up its own arse.
I'm sorry for being so harsh, but everyone who tries to dictate what tastes other people should have fall into this category, so at least you have plenty of company. But then again, that's part of your M.O.; without an audience, you don't actually have any value, do you?
So in a very real sense, everything I will learn for the next six months in the time I would otherwise have spent reading this site, I owe it all to you.
Thanks!

Not only a grammar nazi but working the ad hominem simultaneously. Nice!
How many: Since the late 80's on a PC, I'd guess I average about five to eight games a year, so maybe a hundred, give or take thirty. I find one I like and then I stick with it until I get bored.

But, of course, this has nothing at all to do with the issue at hand and your misdirection is noted.
Maybe you've heard of an arcade game called "The Outfoxies." I consider it to be the most entertaining fighters ever made. Remember "Baseball Stars" for the NES? I love that one too, but the critics generally considered it just-above-average. In fact I'm in the middle of a season now.
Most people would not think very much of these two games. According to your logic, if I was employed by the companies that produced this software and I made the same statement, my credibility would be lost as a gamer.

Maybe, but maybe not, and you generally want to have some evidence that someone is intentially lying before you call them one. It's possible someone thinks quite highly of a game you don't have much regard for. Calling them a liar based on that fact alone is silly.

However, if you are dealing with insurgents who have RPG's, or even other tanks, having a high profile is BAD. Even if you had armor that was strong enough to withstand multiple hits, the sheer force of a hit would cause a mech to topple, or at the very least lose balance. While large mechs would be cool, they would be all to prone to getting blown up. Just giant walking targets. Now, smaller mechs, about the size of an Abrams would be mobile, and act as armor for troops would be more practical than building size robots - but Giant Mechs? Not likely. (All the above is assuming you over come all the other physical limits such as structural stress etc...)
I think this view is a bit narrow. Battle mech-style exosuits would be more of a "bridging the gap between infantry mobility and heavy armor's offensive ability" thing.
Suppose you had a mech that only allowed for a 2x profile of a human but could increase their firepower by 2x, increase their ability to take fire by 6x and let them travel 3x faster.
These things are always compromises. It may very well be that a modern Abrams is more-or-less the pinnacle of current "heavy armor," but that doesn't mean there isn't a middle ground that can be covered.
