I can't believe that everyone who has been modded up has forgotten T-rex and other dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. If memory serves me right, this was the first instance of computer graphics being used to make a realistic skin for an animal. I have to say that I was extremely impressed when this movie came out. Another that was probably a good landmark was probably "For the Birds" by Pixar animation. They showed the use of feathers that would help them to create the fur effect on Scully in Monsters Inc. Everyone else has some really good points that I don't need to reiterate here.
I don't understand the security issues here? I tried reading the FAQ but I'm a mumbling nincompoop. Can someone explain in a bit better detail about why we need security for DNS? Is there any actual recorded instances of people breaking into the DNS database? Is this the website hacking I've heard about?
Does the MPAA _need_ any more proof that they _absolutely_ must make better movies? Doesn't this sound like some idiot is behind the MPAA?? Does anyone else think this is completely rediculous? C'mon movie makers! Get your head out of your butt! If you made better movies, people wouldn't be sending those text messages! Holy fsck, it doesn't take a genius to figure that out!
I wouldn't consider Fansubbed anime pirating. Most groups are very concerned with the Anime business in general and stop fansubbing as soon as they find out a company has licensed the Anime for distribution in North America. I know I have felt kind of ripped off more than once when I find out an anime or manga has been licensed, but I will probably buy the manga and perhaps the anime when it comes out.
The problem is, can you say which sperm is the one that is going to make it?
If you look at it in this way, all the sperm have a chance of fusing with the egg, right? You can't say for certain which sperm will fertilise the egg. In this way, each of the sperm is as precious as the other. =)
[george w. bush voice]Many times we have tried to capture these _evil_ terrorists, but the darkness continues to harbour them. Due to this _evil_ action, we are naming Darkness the fourth "Axis of evil". I know the american people don't want to harbour terrorists, so we all must now keep the lights on in our houses at all times, or else face the consequences.[/gbv]
Doesn't this whole thing just reek like some sort of horrible plot to kill everyone on the face of the earth? It feels like a fanatical group is trying to blackmail everyone into funding a giant death ray or something. I never thought that something like this would actually happen -- It feels almost like we are in some horrible dream that we can't wake up from. People are being denied their basic rights and freedoms, and some company is suing _everyone_ for some software that we downloaded for free! Honestly, I couldn't think this could get any worse for the state of affairs in the US. Glad I live in Canada.
I can see this becoming a trend with many different companies and hotels. No doubt to offer their customers some satisfactory service, and just plain customer approval. I know I would choose one company/hotel over another if they gave me free access to the internet!
I'm sorry but I just have to say this. PEOPLE NEED TO STOP USING FUCKING ACRONYMS. I have no idea what the hell IANAL means nor do I care to find out. This isn't english, it's some sort of shitty net-speak that needs to be stopped! IHTB, LMAO, AFAIK.. come on people! Is it so hard to actually type them out??
All of these, *including* lol, need to be wiped from the collective internet conciousness. (By the way, nothing against you personally AVee, it's just the last straw that broke the camel's back..)

I think I saw this a week ago..? Man it's things like this that make me miss most of the articles on slashdot...
*browsing the side bar for missed articles*...
Oh, I've read about that before!! No need to go further...
Probably costs about the same.. =D
OK this is the second one I have read in this article. It's not funny any more. Stop modding it up as funny!

This sounds suspiciously like people "sharing" their power!
Better watch your ass for the RIAA and MPAA.
I wonder if he's ever got spam from his own company?
btw: I think that infographic was already published in USA today. What, the perceived penis size one?
The site is a Joke site.. I doubt any of the "information" is accurate.
Due to the "french" nature of the name (ouvert means open in french) some Americans have decided to call the new X fork, Xfreedom.

Hey. That had Deforest Kelly, Bones from the original Star Trek to the uneducated-- That means it has to be good!
Dammit Jim I'm a doctor not a veterinarian!

What's that money to them... Bill Gate's Pocket Cash?
I can see it in court now..
Bill G.: Sorry.. How much was that?... Yeah sure.. just a sec.. *flip flip* there yeh go! Now run along and don't bother me again!
I'm sorry, you're both wrong. It's washroom
I know I would be. Not to be a troll, but to me, this thing is way more interesting than the Xbox! =)
Holy cow. The US is almost all light!

Yeah I'm kind of surprised about that too. Maybe they know something about the guy I don't..
You spelled "merde" wrong.

Be careful, he might enjoy that!

No.
