  1. Re:Congratulations Nasa! on Spirit Rover Lands Successfully · · Score: 2, Funny

    Besides, Windows has yet to cause my computer to rocket into the atmosphere at hypersonic speeds, resulting in it landing on the ground and bouncing for a few kilometers before resting in the middle of an old lake bed.

    You're obviously not overclocking your machine enough then.

    can't you people search before your repost crap?

    Can't you think of something intelligent before posting your crap?

    So that explains the whole British Teeth Thing.

    Erm, what teeth?

    And who are these "British" you speak of?

    Also, it's not like they're going to be using a torch to heat it. Of course they're going to know what the fuck they're doing. That comment about whether or not it's a good (in the submission) is just stupid.

    The fact that your username is Pan T. Hose amuses me.

  8. Re:Pixar will be around on Despairing of Pixar · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Movies are all about quality

    And that's why Pixar is the leader of the field. They are both extremely talented on the technical side and, just as, if not more importantly, the storytelling side.

    Just because you have a recognizable name - does not mean that you will have an instant hit.

    Agreed, but a recognizable name means people will at least look at and consider your work, especially if your recognized name is associated with quality.

  9. Re:Pixar will be around on Despairing of Pixar · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Agreed, they did a wonderful job. But as I mention a few posts down, no other studio can really claim to have a portfolio (for their type of work) of the caliber of Pixar. That is to say, they have multiple films that are of extremely high quality, both in technical aspects and in storytelling.

  10. Re:Pixar will be around on Despairing of Pixar · · Score: 1

    My point was that no other CG studio really can claim to have multiple films of the caliber of the ones I mentioned.

  11. Pixar will be around on Despairing of Pixar · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I assume the subject line of the submission is trying to indicate that this hurts Pixar.

    The truth is, Pixar will be around for awhile, and will continue to make great films. Really, I can't think of any other CG animation studio that has films of the caliber of Toy Story, Finding Nemo, A Bug's Life, etc. Sure, tools become better and better and are allowing a greater variety of people/studios to make similiar type of movies, but Pixar is one of the pioneers of the new technologies to hit the big screen and will continue to be for awhile.

    Erm, because if you use his cloned organs he'll request that you pay 699 dollars for them as they'd be copyright infringment. Or something.

  20. Re:Digital SLR is the Future on Best 35mm SLR Camera for Beginners? · · Score: 1

    I couldn't agree more. Part of the whole photo experience for me is actually developing the film (well, okay, developing B&W film is terribly boring) and actually printing the photos. There's as much to learn about enlarging/printing as there is to taking the pictures themselves.

    You just can't get the kind of control over enlarging/printing your own photos by sending them to a 1 hour photo developer/printer.

  21. Re:Noise in America on Europe Begins Noise Mapping Effort · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We have walls here in the US in some areas that partially block off the sound coming from the freeways. They're somewhat of an eyesore, but they do seem to help a bit. I always thought they should put a lot of vegetation around the walls to make them a little bit more aesthetically(sp) pleasing, but I don't know how the plants would do.

  22. Re:cameras on Europe Begins Noise Mapping Effort · · Score: 1

    100.0 surround sound?

    They should go for 100.1 surround sound. Y'know, the .1 for that extra oomph from the bass channel.

    Lets hope they stay away from an empty (and therefor growling) CowboyNeal stomach, as that'll skew the results.

  24. Re:This is good news. on Download Anaconda for Debian · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What's wrong with making it easier for those who are new to linux? One of the biggest drawbacks I think for newbies to linux is the "ease" of installation. It's gettting better and better, and I'm sure soon it'll be just as easy as Windows. What bothers me though, is this elitist attitude. How the fuck are people supposed to get into linux if they have a hard time installing it? You gotta start somewhere, and you gotta install to get started.
