mobil... oil.... middle east... origin of the world?
blagh
you'll also see the train man from "enter the matrix' game punching neo to the wall. i thought he was a neutral guy from the short clip in the game.
strangly the other guy (as shown in reloaded captured in the merovingeon's restaurant), a woman, and a little girl just looking upon.
that's supossedly the place he's trapped between the human's world and machine's world? interesting to see because how is the train man supposedly to be able to communicate with niobe and ghost in the game when he's also able to be with neo in revolutions? the train man's able to move in and out of the strange world and the matrix?
oh yeah... i think the guy flying past the 'loop' train is the train guy...
starting to remind me of the 'minus' worlds in super mario bros hehe
that's what i was thinking too... but come to think of it... how else are they going to show their defense... it's just got to be part of the story i guess
the first one seemed to be a better movie maily because it shows the making of a hero... the hero's journey... how he gets better, strong, and faster. we became fans of the movie partly because we also believe that the power of the mind is really the strongest strengh of us.
i still liked reloaded, but it doesnt have that journey feeling - mostly because the reloaded and revolutions were shot as one movie and chopped into 2 bits. so the fighting/highway scenes look a higher percentage of the film.
most of all, i just miss that dark, goth, death, feeling that the first film gave me. remember the first film's supposed to be about birth, (2nd one about life, 3rd about death)...
i used to believe the matrix within a matrix theory. but i dont really think it's the case now. i think it's just as simple as NEO finally understanding his purpose of what he's supposed to do and therefore being able to do what he's doing. whether or not it's a matrix within a matrix isnt really the point. i think it's understanding ones purpose that gives one its powers. his purpose is to save the humans of zion, and understanding that and feeling that gives him the powers.
hope i'm making sense... i'm having problems explaining it. it's not my puspose to post on slashdot:D
i totally agree. the good thing about this trailer is that it doesnt really give anything significant away - but does make us predict what's going to happen - which can be a good and a bad thing.
i think if we stay away from 'the making of' stuff on TV - we should be fine.
but seriously, the highway scene in my opinion wasnt as good as hyped in all the promos they've been doing. it may have been interesting that they built their own freeway, and was tough to shoot because the chorealgraph (spelling?) was challenging and dangerous, but didnt really have that "UMPH" jaw popping eye-candy wow effect. it could have been the camera angles... but what can i say..
so does xine. have been using this for a while and never have problems with trailers.
only complain is the plugins dont seem to work properly and sometimes crashes - well there's a firebird bug with embeded videos in both windows and linux, so that can be source of the problem...
after all these years that the sky's been blackened by the humans - remember there were already 6 iterations the matrix has been recontructed, the machines should have cleared it up by this this time.
it looks like neo and trinity have went through the surface - probably on their way to 01 - the machine megacity that was mentioned in the second renaissence 1 and 2.
in the trailer you hear "SPEAK" - where neo speaks on this platform... that's the 'leader' supposedly in 01.
>>I actually use pdflatex which generates nice pdf files.
when you use pdflatex, or ps2pdf, or anything under linux to make pdf files, do you ever have problems embedding fonts? for some reason it never seems to look nice under pdf.. as in smooth fonts, etc. of course printing it never has that problem...
by default the hard installation results in a german system. i fixed the locales, and dist-upgrades, but some things are still german by default. and if i do a uname -a, it's in german too. kde-default is in germain as well. wonder how i can fix this.......
i've been thinking of migrating away from the wysiwyg word processors to latex.
I'm just tired of caption numbers not being updated automatically and selecting/changing styles all the time.... well hopefully staroffice/openoffice does that better than m$office in this upcoming version...
why would it even be electrical engineer's responsibility to come up with the standard? i thought the so called "software engineers" should be the ones responsible - if software engineers are actually engineers; but that's another story.
kde was installed by default, but i dont remember if openoffice was installed as well.
that's one drawback of the installation. another drawback is that if you want different partitions for, let's say for example,/var,/usr,/, the installer doesnt support that and you have to play around with files and move them, and edit the mappings in/etc/fstab.
another bug with the HD install is that lilo doesnt write to the MBR properly and (i dual boot win2k).
the OS on the CD is awesome though and i havent noticed any problems.
1. there's the company BigChampagne, but there still aint no sex in the champagne room 2. it's all about p2p! it's THE future! when music is forbidden to be downloaded off p2p, it'll go back to it's original purpose - to share hardcore pr0n. people will go back to downloading pr0n off kazaa - while most of us still aint gettin any.
reverse "engineering"? is that what it's called now?
back in the day, i used to just double click on the mpeg clip on my computer, and all you could see were "reverse cowgirls". whatever these "engineers" (or pr0nstars as we used to call them) are doing is just great. My "intellectual property" is now as WIDE-OPEN as open source for you!
ackk kids.... when do they ever use the proper symmentics.. (old man like me cant spell...)

back to the future 2 was another one better than the first, in my opinion...
this may be true because it's common in chinese kung fu movies and books that the hero gets blind, gets even stronger and continues to fight

you'll also notice that in the trailer that neo controls the jack by thought and is able to plug himself into the matrix... look ma....no hands!

they also showed 101 when neo,trinity,morpheus walked through the corridor in merovingian's restaurant.

Hmmm. This whole OSS business is supposed to engender, among other things, choice.
.....ripping of matrix revolutions... it's like wiping my arse with silk. i love it :D
choice is an illusion, designed by those who have power, for those who do not.
>>>Note, the magician crack is a joke ;)
:D
oh great, so now the entire slashdot has become a joke
do you know any thing i can use to view latex under windows? or linux?
i just installed lyx and i'm playing around with it. is there anything better you suggest?
(as they say in the latex docs)

why dont they just build openoffice from latex/lyx? i just apt-get'ed it yesterday and it seems to have everything i need for documentation....

absolutely nothing!they still aint gettin any!

Q.E.D
since these are all common tasks, it might be a good idea for them to write/script these tools.
would be nice if these scripts are distro-independent too
