Wait... This guy gets a "3" for "What I'm waiting for is Monkey Ball 2" ???? No offense to Dimer0, but I'm beginning to swear there's actually a script making these moderations and not a real person... Heck, it would explain some of the articals...
I'm sorry, but whoop-dee-doo, rehash city. These games are fun and all, but when you use them as a crutch like Nintendo has with every damn system they've marketed, it gets old. Ps2? XBox? Dreamcast? Go for it. Nintendo? Unlock the cryo vault and begin thawing Mario 14: Daisy World...
Microsoft? Right on Slashdot?!?! WHAHAahahHAHAHahahah!!!! Oh, the guy has a sense of humor!!! Friends! Romans! Countrymen! Take up arms and defend your stuffed penguins with your last breat and every cliche you can muster!! We cannot afford MS to be in the right no matter how logical the argument for them is! It's YOUR DUTY TO PUSH MS INTO THE SEA in a religious fevor only seen since the likes of the Crusades!
Well, since in-browser advertisements are always evolving, it should be every slashdotters duty to patent the concept as soon as it debutes and charge the companies who created it an unreasonable fee for each usage. THAT is the way to discourage this crap ^__^ Have browser cookies been patented yet? Somebody here could patent the concept of spyware... "I hereby patent the sofware concept that secretly tracks data on the users browser habits by sending packets to a central location for compiling." Heck, I've seen stupider stuff patented here. Like somebody else mentioned.. "Hyperlinks"? If you can patent that, you can patent anything.
I don't think Slash has a line anymore. I'm beginning to think that while they claim to be "News for Nerds. Stuff that matters." it's actually becoming more and more a good ol' boys club. Because I can't honestly think of a reason why some of the crap I've seen here lately was posted. Do you need to know one of the editors to get a story posted? Or maybe it's a special coupon. Why else would crap like last weeks movie review be posted? It wasn't news (or new), it wasn't a review (rant, maybe) and it sure as hell didn't matter. It wasn't even for nerds. Maybe I just have a lower tolerence for this crap, but dammit, the BS is getting deep around here.
This has nothing to do with the post. It has everything to do with how a rant on a two year old bad movie can get posted, but a story on genetic manipulation won't. Yes, it's grousing, but dammit, i'm tired of this crap. So here it is in all it's off-topic glory...
The picture alone is worth the read. An Isreali genetics expert has engineered the worlds first naked chicken. This new breed of chicken has no feathers, grows faster and produces less fast than the average clucker. He's almost kinda cute in a tasty, space alien sort of way...
Hey, while we're at it, we can take a shuttle ride to China's new moon base built for scientific and humanitarian reasons (chuckle). It's only twenty million extra ^__^
Challenger stunted the growth of NASA for a good decade after it's destruction. The only reason I think NASA survived was that it was government funded. An event like the one Invid is describing would not only send the company down in flames, but probably kill the entire industry Hindenburg style, at least until it becomes safer. Sure, it would be great and it would be fun, but the media bloodbath would be epic as well.
These same vans will be equipped with ECM gear to actively jam other services cell transmissions... Sort of the minivan equivolent of the EA-6B Prowler ^__^
"Enemy cell tower, 9 o'clock! He's transmitting!" "Goose switch to active jamming!" "But what about that other tower!?" "Don't worry about the tower, you just keep those fighter off..." Um, Nevermind.
I'm dumber for having read that.

Review: U-571

· Score: 1
If I had a sixth sense, all the dead slashdotters would be crying out in anguish for having viewed such useless drivel. This movie was released TWO F$&%@# YEARS AGO!!! This is an assnine rant on something that isn't even news anymore!!! Mike, my man, what's up? Do you hate us that much? Is there nothing else worthy of news but this garbage? Are you submitting stories from some temporal bubble that lags behind reality by two years, because this movie was already universally condemed. I mean, I can help... I heard the Wright Brothers flew in their first powered flight recently... Oh, the Cold War is over, you can submit that. Hey, did you see Terminator 2? Review that one for us!
Somebody yank this guy before he kills us all with these inane articals.
If C isn't constant, then perhapse you can shine that flashlight off the front of the ships at near light speed and achieve faster than light with light itself ^__^
I never claimed to be a physics expert, just an expert in physics
Heheheh... Mod parent up ^__^ Oh, wait. Religion on slashdot? Better hang on to that score of "1" for a while.
But I am also wondering how long one of these 4 lines of code are? 80 characters per line? Are these strait equations? It occurs to me the answer itself was either purposely vague or just plain obscure (genius and fools can be). I thought it was 42, personally.
Comparing Jordan's success to Habu's isn't exactly fair or even valid. The differences between Shogi and Chess aren't all that great, especially when you compare the differences between basketball and baseball.
The only thing that seperates Shogi and Chess are the rules, pieces and board on which the game is played. At their cores, both games are turn based and both require the player to think several moves in advance to be even remotely successful. If the players knows the rules and has that skill, the jump is relatively easy to make, especially one of Habu's caliber.
Basketball to baseball? Entirely different story. Not only are the rules, pieces (players) and field of play different, but now you have to deal with an entirely new set of physical conditionings as well. Sure, Jordan is fit, but instead of a 3-pointer or jam, your now asking him to hit a small round object moving in excess of 80mph with a stick. The author of the artical doesn't seem to think that's a worthy challenge in and of itself.
I guess what I'm saying is that chess and Shogi are purely games of the mind. If you have that extreemly valuble skill of looking ahead to your next 5-15 moves, the transition isn't as great. But add some sort of mental/physical reconditioning on top of that? I'd humbly submit that it's slightly more challenging to up and switch.
This is the same argument you hear all the time on a myraid of topics. "Just because it won't work in instance "X" means it's utterly useless". You'll hear the same argument about when it comes to hybrid cars, ballistic missile shields, etc.. It gets old.
As for NORAD, it is geared toward the detection of medium to high altitude threats, built primarily in response to tracking ICBMs and high altitude Soviet bombers. It is not an all-encompassing umbrella when it comes to lower altitude tracking. Zeppelin platforms can be an ideal solution for providing low cost, wide area radar survelliance at medium to low altitude, as well as coastal detection if equipped with the right hardware. Look into the Aerostat Survelliance balloons on the US Mexican boarder (I already post the link somewhere after this comment). They DO work in that capacity just fine.
Oh, don't worry about all this. It's all going the same way as MP3 anyway. Soon, Spiderman 5 will be easily gotten on Mapster, the online movie sharing source and we'll go through this entire process all over again. It's a battle the DMCA can't win. It won't be long before the damn thing is struck down anyway. It's way too open to interpretation.
Um, Ahoy there, but it's not his job to write good code just like it's not your job to build a car. Call it a hunch, but I'm betting you have an opinion about cars anyway, even though you probably have no inkling how to build one that works.
(in case you actually can build a car that works, insert an area of expertise you know jack about and the same will still apply)
Wait... People can bash MS all day long without a Troll or an Off-topic mod, but this guy gets a -1? Yeah, I can see the light, and it's leaking out the ass of some reverse biased mofo.
That's why I took whatshisnames rule of thumb for my own- All off-topic and trolls will be meta-moderated unfair. Suck it up.
Money Talks. That's all. If I were getting my ass sued off and people were throwing me butt-loads of money to buy my quasi-illegle brand name, I'd be sorely tempted to cash out too. It sucks, but it's hard to blame them at the same time. Look at it this way... They're $20 million richer than you or I at the moment. It's the dotcom dream.
No, let's get this right. Humans inherently lead to disaster, just like Communism would actually work if people weren't ivolved. Technology, like so many other things, is simply a tool.

This Mario guy MUST be a virgin if these games represent his greatest adventures...

This from the same company that used the DMCA as reported here on slashdot last fall to shutdown one fan/hack site
Just like the same company that produced his car is guilty of ozone layer depletion? Not that I care, but it serves as a useful lesson in hypocrisy.
These same vans will be equipped with ECM gear to actively jam other services cell transmissions... Sort of the minivan equivolent of the EA-6B Prowler ^__^

Bam! You got me! "involved"
Notes that moderations are being changed across the board to flamebait/troll no matter who they support. That's a start, I guess.
Heck, the ancient Chinese used to strap people into giant kites as airborne scouts. Of course, landing was a bit of a pickle.
