Ahh, yes they were... at least no more than his in-the-matrix powers... The oracle told him that the powers of 'The One' extend beyond the machine world, all the way back to the human world. How could you miss that?
So, you accepted "the powers of 'The One' extend beyond the machine world, all the way back to the human world." as explanation of why he can use his matrix powers outside of the matrix?
That is not an explanation. That is restating the question. How could you miss that?
"why can I do X?" "Because you can do X."
That sort of thing might fly in church and in congress, but I expect better from sci-fi.
When someone says he didn,t like a movie for reasons A), B), etc and someone replies:
Stupid audience wants it spelled out for them
THAT is trolling and/or flaimebaiting.
and as for you, topham,
I suspect it is because we actually paid some attention in the other.
I suspect it is because you did not. I didn't just pay attention to the others, I actually wrote a paper on the Matrix for a university class, you sorta have to watch the movie and takes notes to do that. So stop trolling me and claiming that people who disagree with you MUST be stupid and ignorant, because (and I'll drop to your level a sec here) it takes one to know one.
I wanted to like the Matrix Revolutions. I tried to like it. I was hyped to see it, and I was dis-a-pointed.
Not because it didn't end the way I expeded or because its cool to diss the popular stuff, but because of so many things. mostly because they had opened up lots and lots of questions in the 2nd movie that they just left open. They did worse than that, they dismissed them.
The Architect speech? Forget it, he doesn't know what he's talking about, he's just an adding machine. Neo's out-of-Matrix powers? Not explained...chuck it up to magic I guess.
The whole Jesus thing was overdone. The fight against Smith was...flat.
Etc, etc.
Revolutions let me down, this article claims that Return of The King won't. Yay I gues...
I read French fluently, but I've never had the need to type French accents on the computer, so never have learned how to input them (any my keyboard sure isn't French).
Set your keyboard to canadian french, wich is probably close to what you are used to, and check the layout. You can switch to it and back with a mouseclick usually.
URLs that you cannot type. But why would they want your hits if you can't even type their domain name? Its not like you'll be able to read the content if you get there, or understand their ads.
Unfortunate but true, if a company has a Chinese domain name, it would probably be only used within China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan (since it's unicode), and maybe South Korea. The company would be pretty much limited to the East Asia market.
Yeah, they would "limit" themselves to the fastest growing economy in the world and a market of about 2 billion people...who'd want that?
P.S. Why can't that company have a chineese domain name and a roman-character domain name? Is there a law I don't know about?
To accomodate people who are "insulted" or "offended" that thier native language is not fully "respected" by the internet is ludacris.[...]As much as the information on the web should be free, if you can't handle a little learning curce to access the info, IMO you aren't capable mentaly of doing anything with the info once you access it
Like, for instance, figuring out what the hell YOU are saying requires a steep learning curve.
Your inability to master one language must the root of your jingoist hatred of the idea that people from other cultures might get full access to the internet's potential too. I mean, it would be outrageous to expect you to have a bit of a learning curve to use the internet. The rest of the world, yes, but that you might need to learn a lil' something new? Folly!
I mean, if you want to rename your own drives because you don't like mast/slave, go ahead. But for crying out loud, an official complaint? About a standard technical term? That is not right.
No kidding. In Austria, you can *still* find people who thing that "we would haf won ze var if is wasen't for ze Jew, und zat kriminal Jew-loving Rosa-velt."
Bah, go down to Alabama, you can plenty of the same right there...
Then find a job with an environment that suits your needs. Don't force others to adapt to you, because like it or not, you're the odd man out: not them. (See Darwin.)
They had, now the idiot boss is following the trend-of-the-week and changing the rules on them. They are going to loose many of their best elements, and end up loosing a lot (see Darwin).
The color of your skin, or the god(s) you believe in will have no effect on your ability to perform a job function.
What if your job has you workin on sabbat? What about low blood sugar during ramadan? There are plenty of factors that affect productivity.
Being friendly, charismatic, and relatively good-looking had done far more for me than my IT skills ever have or ever will.
Well, that says it all. Really. Have fun enjoying your pasasitic life, brownnosing for your salary. Fortunatly its going to be very funny when your office is full of incompetant people socializing with each other and nobody's doing the job : )
I don't care how productive or geekily intelligent someone is. If they can't communicate effectively or deal with other people, they have no place in most workforces.
Yeah, people without good social skills are scum! They should NOT be allowed to earn a living, in fact, they should be shot in the streets like the loathesome dogs that they are!
Jeez, what the hell are YOU doing posting on slashdot?
Not everybody performs well in the same environments. Some people work better alone, when they are left to their own devices, while others need to be in a team where they can share their skills with others. Its blind and stupid for a company to force all of its employees to submit to one form of work or the other. What they would do, if the decisions weren't made by idiots, is that they would have the social people work in groups to augment their productivity, and let the loners do their projects by themselves to keep them productive too.
Anything else is shortsightedness that borders on nazi human ressources management.
And how is discrimination based on social skills any different from discrimination based on race, sex, religion, or right-handedness? "Unpopular people need not apply"? Will they have you bring your high-school yearbook as references?
at the end of the day it was "only" two buildings that was destroyed
I lost count at around 5 or 7 buildings myself...when something as big as the world trade towers goes down, they take down other stuff with 'em... And a couple thousand people.
By the same token, I'm not convinced that biological or chemical weapons count as being "destructive", as they (presumably) only kill animals. I personally don't like thinking of killing as "destruction"; it seems a little too dehumanising, as though you're trying to ignore the fact that it's people we're talking about, not buildings.
Er...they only kill animals, true, but that includes human animals.
People ofthen forget that we are animals.
I don't know what scale gets you in the WMD class...I think the Dubya administration made that thing up, so its a bit hard to tell, but I personally would say that anything above 3 digits in body counts would qualify. Normal weapons kill by the single to the hundreds, fancier weapons kill more...
Micheal Jackson already has a lab full of these creatures being studied, in his quest for immortality But i think progress goes slow, lately, as he has other things on his mind
The immortality thing is just a front. The real reason is that he likes handling their small pricks.
Ya know, technically, the sept11 attacks used plane fuel (a derivative of crude oil) as a weapon of mass destruction. With that insane logic, Iraq did have WMD and the facilities associated with it.
Of course, Dubbya specifically mentioned nerve gas, bio and nuclear (well, nucular, actually), so that invalidates my semantics, but still...
Shameless western feel? Yes, give Luke a horse instead of an X-wing, a gun instead of a lightsaber, and it starts to turn into a western, even the Cantina screams of a cliche dive bar in a Western.
Ah! Much easier than that! Picture Han Solo...now picture him with a cowboy hat. that's right, he's dressed exactly like a cowboy, minus the hat. Funny huh? : )
Cute geek girl? Does Natalie Portman count?
Nope, that's beautifull princess...not the same thing.
Pilot that plays with toy dinosaurs to pass the time during spaflight? No, but I would like to point out the Dejarik game with Chewie and C-3PO
Again, not really. One is a lonely childish act spawned out of pure boredom, the other is a social game of wits and strategy...
But the whole "captain with his own ship, smuggling and transporting passagers wanted by the evil authorities while dressed like a cowboy minus the hat" applies to both though : )
Slashdot Mirror
the explanation for this is that nobody's ever outside the Matrix in the Movies.
There is no spoon, I know.
But that was not, I repeat, NOT explained in the FINAL movie.
It is only fanboy speculation. When you have a trilogy, it needs to end. With an ending, and a wrapup. They didn't do that. I am pissed.
Neo's out-of-Matrix powers? Not explained...
Ahh, yes they were... at least no more than his in-the-matrix powers... The oracle told him that the powers of 'The One' extend beyond the machine world, all the way back to the human world. How could you miss that?

At any rate, there's an easy way around this; do a diff between screeners from two different sources.
Would you just stop giving the MPAA more ammo please! I was just about to reply with a good scheme when I realised what I was doing...

They can't use the term cockpit, it's a flight deck.
I wholeheartadly agree! The word "pit" is clearly offensive as it refers to a nasty, smelly part of the human anatomy.
Placing cocks in underarms is also a form of animal cruelty that borders on sexual perversion!
"So I plugged the male end of my Master cable into the slave and booted the stoned beaver...whaddaya mean I'm fired?"
You just made my friends list mutherfucker!

companies allow to take a day off anytime you need
Ramadan lasts a month...
Massacred over 300,000 civilians in 6-8 weeks in Nanjing
Lazy bastards, the states massacred that many jap civilians in one day at hiroshima...no wonder they lost the war huh?
No kidding. In Austria, you can *still* find people who thing that "we would haf won ze var if is wasen't for ze Jew, und zat kriminal Jew-loving Rosa-velt."
Bah, go down to Alabama, you can plenty of the same right there...
Mumble mumble indians mumble genocide...
I don't want to be in a restroom stall listening to 20 other guys talking on the phone... That was ackward to say the least...
Were they talking to each other???

;- )
Er, you can freeze and thaw frogs in your fridge. They do it every winter.
I bet you were amazed when "they" cloned a tree huh?
Two words: Dick Clark.
He said human!
