  1. Re:No need for hysteria on George Lucas May Be Completely Evil · · Score: 1

    I as understand it, Luke and Leia are Twins. But when they were split up Luke went off with Ben and Leia left with Portman. Which I guess means she doesn't die in part three.

  2. Don't be fooled by knock offs. on E3: Epic, US Army Develop Games as Recruitment Tool · · Score: 1

    I've been playing Iraq's Army and it's just not the same.

  3. Re:Not a lot of sense here... on Free Software at Risk Under Lemon law · · Score: 2, Insightful
    The legislation would skyrocket production costs for Microsoft if the company were forced to release foolproof products.

    Microsoft has 40 billion dollors to play with, are you telling me they can't used the money to debug thier software to without raising prices on thier software?

  4. Why use is at all? on P2P Programs on K-12 Networks? · · Score: 1

    I want one good reason to have P2P software in a school at all? Is their anything educational that can only be used or found using P2P software? Can anyone here give make a point that the pros out number the cons when P2P is in a school?

  5. Answer to Slashdot: No on First, Do No Harm - A Hippocratic Oath for Coders? · · Score: 1

    A programer who writes code that harms people is a programer who wouldn't follow an oath. Thiers no need for one, and if it was inforced it would be empty.

  6. Re:This number is meaningless on Spidey Knocks Out Harry Potter at Box Office · · Score: 0

    Potter came out less than a year ago, ticket prices haven't skyrocketed, and their is a profit difference of over 20 million dollars. Lets just agree that Spiderman made an ass load of money, it didn't suck and we'll get a sequel. Is it so hard for us as a people to just except a trivial statistic without trying to dispute it so we can show everyone how clever we are?

  7. Re:Plenty in Ouvre; Indifferent about plug pulling on Matt Groening on Futurama, Simpsons and Fox · · Score: 0

    He wasn't her boyfriend! He was more of a protective brother. The wheelchair geek what the love interest. Don't knock the writing if you can't even understand it!

  8. Another Use. on Smart Cameras To Predict Crimes · · Score: 0

    AI, if a system and analyze an image and then make a guess at what happens next it takes us one step closer to digital intuition. This does sound scary in a big brother kind of way, but what about for domestic use. I wouldn't my have a device (5ht generation furby)? Walking around that could not only tell me that I have a visitor, but that's the vister is acting shady. I think this kind of innovation is a good that, what we need to focus on is keep the users of tech liable for its actions and make sure this camera are only used to aid police, not become police. Like their $#%^ing traffic cameras that give you a ticket even when you stop at the $@&#ing light.


  9. I know I'm going to crap for this but.... on 'Virtual' Child Porn Act Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 0

    This is nothing wrong with being a pedophile as long as no children are harmed. Its a slippery
    slop we travel on if we think differently.



    To think about people 17 and under in a sexual way, while it may indicate illness, in is self is not an illness. A mental illness either need to lead to the person harming them self's or being kept from functioning, or it must harm others. If someone can't control their impulse to became sexually active with kids it's an illness, and a crime. If someone thinks about a child sexually and doesn't act on it, then their is no illness and furthermore no crime. Allowing people freedom of thought and expression of thought isn't some privilege to be taken away because it could encourage an illness or a crime.



    One last thing, this whole "If you think about someone whose under 18 your a sick bastard." If extremely narrow minded, the age of consent veies from state to state. Its never higher than 18 but sometimes it dips as low as 14.



    I'm nineteen, and I hate pedophiles, I really do. I also look at the matter thoroughly and come to reasonable solutions, instead of stick to safe, popular, black and white principles

  10. Please don't do this. on Should Open Source Software Expire? · · Score: 0

    You can lead a sys-admin to a bug, but you can't make him care. You can only fire him. Time bombs in the software will only result in web pages randomly going to every couple of months.

  11. Fight back. on Sony Intentionally Crashes Customers' Computers · · Score: 0

    The easiest way to fight something like this a E-mail the artist herself. Fansites, web chats, her web site. E-mail her, with honest concerns about consumer abuse being done using her work. If enough people rise this question to her, she will rise the question to sony. Or better yet, she'll raise it to the media.

  12. Re:This is how it works with suicide on Suing Sony for Everquest Related Suicide? · · Score: 0

    My feelings on privacy is that laws should be in place because the potential to abuse personal information exist. Three ways to abuse personal information are as follows. One commercial, compiling personal information for marketing purpose. Two persecution, whether it's seeing if your a candidate for cancer to determine insurance polices, or seeing if your gay to keep you out of boy scouts. The third is to embarrass



    If your dead, non of these abuses apply. The only people who could be hurt are families, (and sometimes friends). Thierfore if family request private information. Their is no real ethical reason to with hold information. Everquest data, isn't sensitive unless your talking about a chat session. Bottom line is yes Sony should release his game data. No, they are not at fault, and no a warning labile is not needed here. Lastly, 21 year olds are not "Kids".

  14. Re:What must be said about American Airlines. on Another Plane Down in New York · · Score: 0

    You see I was paraphrasing the Simpson comic book Guy. Frankly, with all the "We're increasing sercurity, so turn your head a cough." talk going around, they really have no defence if someone sliped a bomb on board. Secondly is its machanical error, is even more thier fault. They responsible for the safter of their passengers, mechanical errors are unforgivable at times when they claim to be the most alert. Its an opion, not flamebait.

    Worst Airline ever.

  16. People don't care. on Government to Eavesdrop on Lawyer-Client Conversations · · Score: 1

    All people care about anymore is what dateline and
    20/20 tell them to. Poeple don't research ideas or statments in the media, they could but they don't feel like spending the time. /.ers know about how hard it is to get people to care about the whole Microsoft issue. This is even more improtant, and people don't care. They just want to feel safe, and if you point out new laws life this one they'll tell you. "If you haven't done anything wrong then you should have nothing to hide." Something has to give and force people to wake up and stop being sheep for the media to heard.

    You want an unabridged reference? Fine. Buy one.

    Your right, or better yet NOT buy anything from a company thats making its software design desistions based on political interests



    This is just like Microsoft taking out the locations if landmakes in their flight simulater in light of the sep11 attacks. If I want to crash into whitehouses alone in my house, I should be able to.



    As long as we let them, monopolies will alway try to shap and change the way we can live.



  19. I have to agree. on $1200 Cheap! · · Score: 1

    Microsoft is not a monopoly in the gaming market. Thiers plenty of companys for them to compete with. I'm not going to buy the X-box, neither should you.



    This is an entertainment item, you don't kneed and X box, so if microsoft starts pulled really shady bundling shit, tell them to go to hell. Buy a PS2. Please, lets not all start ranting that DOJ has to take action when it comes to video games.



    If we as consumers show Microsoft that we won't tolerate their brand of marketing then they well stop. Are you with me?

  20. None of the names were really that good. on Star Wars II: Return of the Name · · Score: 1

    When I first read about the name, I actually groaned. This is would be like "Jurassic Park 4: Attack of the Rapors". However none of the move titles are that good if you think about it, A new hope, Empire Strikes back, Return of the Jedi, would sound just as corny if we heard them for the first time today.

    Why don't we alter the DNA so that the kids aren't hurt by molestation. Heck then is would be a problem, rape could be legalized and be an acceptable part of our culter. Right?

  24. Cloning? on Roasting Sacred Cows · · Score: 1

    Thats basicly like molesting your children? Thier basicly your DNA mix with someone elses right? Clonings not the solution. The whats is acceptible (sorta). Is drawings and literotica, maybe mock kiddie porn. (where every one is really over 18 or whatnot.) Of course if someone is having thier thoughts consantly then they need thairepy (sp?).

  25. Maybe I'm just an not that bright but...... on Jepson Rebuts Petreley On The Dangers Of Mono · · Score: 1

    It's not like the OSS community is going to be disbanded by this. Why is everybody so freaked about this?
