    Naw, they did ok on that score right near home.

  2. Re:Drive in theaters? on Sony: 'The Interview' Will Have a Limited Theatrical Release · · Score: 1

    I think he means via hacking. Because any existing drive-in theaters are probably rocking 486's on a 13 inch CRT.

    I'm not the one chaining endless strands of causality together and slapping a completely irrelevant pet agenda into the middle of it. WTF does SOPA have to do with this? Unless you think it's the CIA and their black helicopters making Sony issue take-down requests. Can't be, because that would be kooky.

    I would like to know what the lies used to topple the Taliban in Afghanistan were.

    I suspect there is a high correlation between Sony-works-for-the-CIA and 9/11 Trutherism.

    Nowhere do I even imply that this is about money for Sony

    No, but I am. Sony is not going to financially ruin itself, potentially shutter its multi-billion dollar film studio, out all of its own email and destroy multiple exec's careers out of solidarity with US foreign policy. It's ludicrous to suggest it.

  6. Re:What a nightmare on "Star Trek 3" To Be Helmed By "Fast & Furious" Franchise Director Justin Lin · · Score: 1

    Well, that's not what the reboots are ABOUT, either. But the camp is as ever-present as it was in TOS.

  7. Re:not quite on Sony: 'The Interview' Will Have a Limited Theatrical Release · · Score: 1

    It simply demonstrates the sham that we were told a week ago today.

    Yeah, that explains the complete fire sale on the film, because they're so sure of the demand. /tinfoil-hat

    Take your pick. Burn the heretic.

    The guy that gave us the silliest, other-the-top fisticuffs scenes ever filmed, betrayed? I'll get over it.

    the message of every previous Star Trek in favor of everything superficial and minor that has ever been in the series

    I'm sensing that your Star Trek experience begins with ST:TNG Season 1 and ends with ST:DS9 Season 6, and includes none of the movies.

    It's camp. It's always been camp. It will always be camp.

    It's like you're not even trying. You're not a real European Parliamentary until you've got at least eleven parties with insignificant differences. Throw in some Christian Democrats, Democratic Christians, Republicans, Peoples' Workers Party, and Christian Democratic Republican Peoples' Workers Party, and you're starting to have real variety.

    You better take me out to dinner, first.

  13. Re:Who will get on North Korean Internet Is Down · · Score: 1

    You make many presumptions:
    1) That we did it
    2) That, having done it, we did it for Japan
    3) That, having done it for Japan, it constitutes war.

    Someone picked up the phone, that's all.

    A child may not hit because he lacks the instructive authority to use it for anything other than to satisfy his own whims, and is not mentally capable of receiving reasoned rebuke as an adult is. The goal with punishing (of any method) a child is behavioral modification to the child's long-term (and hopefully life-long) benefit. It is unimportant that the child understand WHY something is wrong, only that he not do it. With age comes understanding. Restrictions grounded in safety or social well-being will be appreciated by the child when he reaches young adulthood.

    Substitute all the "he's" with "she's"; gender neutral pronouns are really awkward. :/

    It's called "thinking things out to their natural conclusion." I guess these days it's an exercise solely for retards?

  17. Re:Precious Snowflake on Putting Time Out In Time Out: The Science of Discipline · · Score: 2

    There is nothing hypocritical about ordered social hierarchies. I can't fire my boss, but my boss can fire me. It's a natural part of society.

    Come on, man; don't talk about the article submitter like that. This is why he submitted AC.

    and throw in some mass drops of MP3 players loaded with Sony tunes on the country.

    There's no call for such drastic and morally questionable measures, yet; let's just try airstrikes first.

  21. Re:The implications could be dire on US Links North Korea To Sony Hacking · · Score: 1

    What??? No, that's silly. The US is not going to war because they can't watch a Seth Rogan movie. The Hobbit? Maybe. Star Wars, definitely. But not this.

    What? Do you even know who the Republican leadership is? The ones that just ensured that executive immigration amnesty is funded without a fight (because they were pushing for it all along)? No rocks to live under, here. Boehner's tall on talk, but he's in the Go Along, Get Along Gang.

  23. Re:They couldn't wreck the movement from the outsi on What Will Microsoft's "Embrace" of Open Source Actually Achieve? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't know; the market looks very different than it did back in the Halloween Email days. There are two things going on here: 1) Ballmer and Gates are out at MS, and 2) server OS market share is not as important as sales of cloud services. It isn't what you're running on your box that they're interested in, anymore, it's what you're connecting to for your business layer. If they can get *nix customers connecting to Azure on .NET, I think they'd call that a win.

    Doesn't the revocation of the embargo require an act of Congress?

    I don't think that's a problem as of last month.

    (Real) Cuban leaf is good. IMHO, Sumatra is better. Cuban cigars are desired primarily because they are illegal, and the forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest. I have never had real Cuban rum, so I will not opine.
