Last time I looked the slashdot submission bin was not everything2.. we dont need 3 different links to the story, what we do need is a single link to this "next chapter" you speak of. I dont see anything there that I havn't read before.
oh fucking yawn. Do the world a favour, ban everything for people under the age of 18. Lock them in their homes and dont let them out lest they learn something about how cruel and unkind the world is.
god damn.. I've been dissin' vi users for years now and for some strange reason I recently decided "Damn it, I'm gunna learn that obscure stupid editor that you have to press 'i' before you can start typing and all the other mode lameness" and I figured it would take me a few weeks.. it took one day! one day and I had memorized half the command set and was up to my old level of efficiency in other editors, now I'm going beyond it. Ease of use often == lack of effort.
Is this why the DVD divx rip I watched the other night had "if you bought or rented this movie please call 1-888-NO-COPIES" or whatever on the bottom of it? I tell ya, if it was there the whole time you wouldn't care, but it's because they do a smooth fade in of it that it's really distracting (like win2000 popup menus, *shudder*) after about the 15th time I was ready to call the number and tell them to piss off.
I hear ya, and dont worry about it. Making someone eat is not going to help them put on weight, all it is going to do is make them feel more guilty/depressed and probably insight suicide.
I read the article, so if my statement is stupid, I have no excuse. Hell, just look at the other reply to my post, I'm still confused.

The husband used to give his wife her shots on a regular basis. The fingerprints would have been on the syringes anyway. After all, who uses desposible syringes to give themselves insulin?

Ask soon as he saw what happened to his wife he wrote it down. Every time he read it he got depressed and hated himself, so one day he figured he'd write it into sammy's story and he made himself read it every day.. but habit != memory so I think you're right. Oh well.

I love the movie. Fantastic, but you dont have to play a movie backward to get this effect (although it is definitely an excellent way of doing it). I am reminded of spy movies in particular. You watch a spy flick and you are constantly wondering why someone did something. You have to put aside the things you know and think about the things the characters know. Then as more information is revealed to you, you have to go backwards in your mind and think about what you thought a character's motives were and reassess them.

Well actually the first time he mentioned the insulin thing (the insurance claimee injecting his wife) I was immedately asking and how exactly do you know that? The woman is dead and her husband cant remember a thing. For all you know, she did it to herself. Later when we see him doing it, I'm like uh huh! I knew it, the only way he could know is because he did it, and then immediately made up a way to incorporate this warning into his 'habits' so that he wouldn't do it again. Very well done.
yer, all through that movie you have to appreciate the doublethink exhibited by character played by Alec Baldwin. He talks about being patriotic and at the same time is trying to cover up the fact that the cryptography they are using is weak, something that will ultimately hurt his country. He is capable of using the argument of patriocy and simultaniously being incapable of seeing the obvious flaw in his argument.
I'd be the first one to agree with this sentiment, except for the fact that we dont live in a democracy, any of us. Representative government, please. Representative of who's got the most money.
I can talk about Freenet and that's about it. I read abou Mojo a while ago but I'm sure it has all changed since then. Freenet is all about static documents, and as good as that is, it will not help anyone write a web service. Add dynamic routing of packets in real time to freenet and you might get somewhere, but as it stands, freenet currently has one purpose: to protect censor attracting documents.
Torvalds cant code. Open Source wannabe. Fully. Anyone who thinks having an if inside a tight loop (count that, function indentation, for indentation, second for indentation (thus the tight loop) and if then indentation makes 4) is bad obviously has never actually had to write a bit of code to do anything more complicated than triviality.
oh do fuck off. Anyone who follows a law they dont agree with is a fool, especially if such law is completely unenforcible. If it pisses off the MPAA, it is a good thing.

How exactly does this solve anything? "If you close your eyes the monsters will go away.." Take your solipsist attitudes elsewhere pal.
Or everyone who hates Tim should post right here. YOU SUXOR TIM!

I dont understand, how is this any different to InstallShield overwriting and destroying your windows settings?
yes, because a drug that makes you really really hungry (man) is the perfect thing to aid wieght loss.

number 2 was cinematic, sure, but it lacked that special something that PoP had. Guess it's like that with all sequels.
