You state this like it's a miracle cure. Truth is, it only works some of the time, and it certainly does not work for everyone. I know it's fun to bash those with allergies as hypochondriacs, but allergies are real.
People claim that the same thing happens with the Modern Warfare series, which runs a heavily modified Quake III engine. Your weapons' rate of fire can vary quite a bit, especially the ones with an extremely high ROF.
I thought Cameron spent years working on this movie as well, but he actually came up with the story in a very short period of time (which is probably what causes the problems with the shallowness of some of the sci-fi). It's just that he felt the CGI technology wasn't up to scratch at the time (1997, I believe). So he waited until computers and animation tech evolved enough to be able to create his masterpiece.
Oh and Star Wars was not particularly profound either. I was a big Star Wars fan in my highschool years, but if you look at the big picture, it's just another popcorn flick too.
I would've thought porn and prostitution is more important than ever now that there is a massive gender imbalance brewing in China. Way too many girls being aborted in the past, so there is an excess of young men.
As for porn not being allowed because it demeans women, isn't that the basic premise that applies all over the world, universally? Yet porn exists anyway, and is consumed by many who (hypocritically) claim to be protecting women. OK, now that's opening a whole new other can of worms.
These types of terrorist bombers are usually the loner types... often highly intelligent, but social outcasts. They latch on to propaganda and it becomes their mission to wreak revenge on the jock infidels. It's just another variation on the highschool/uni mass shooters.
It's just the typical "reverse racism" and "us whites are getting oppressed in film and television" whiners. How on earth anyone could think this film paints white people in a bad light is beyond me.
Aliens was just another entertaining sci-fi action movie, but it was a fantastically well done one at that. Avatar is an action movie in the same vein. It might not be the deep philosophical kind of movie that makes you ponder difficult questions for days afterwards, but then James Cameron doesn't make those kinds of movies.
I went to see Avatar thinking it was just another mind numbing dumb flick, but it pleasantly surprised me. Definitely 2009 movie of the year.
Did you even watch the same movie I did? I thought it was obvious that Cameron was saying that violence and killing for food or survival is perfectly normal and acceptable. If wolves and bears attack you, then you defend yourself.
How did you come up with the "white people suck" theme? And who the hell modded you insightful?
In the scenes where the Colonel was making his grand "let's kick ass" speeches, there were lots of black marines shown, the camera even blatantly hovered over them as it swept the room.
Exactly. The mistake is to think that Al-Qaeda failed because the guy didn't manage to blow himself up. On the contrary, they succeed every time something like this happens. It's a win-win for them no matter what, because of the way everyone reacts.
Slashdot Mirror
I think you missed the parent poster's sarcasm... he was saying exactly what you're saying.
Love how the jackasses modded you Troll.
Where does it say that she uses an iPhone?
It's common knowledge that bee stings and their poison do cumulative damage, and a lot of people develop allergies after multiple stings.
No idea how you could think that "psychological trauma" causes the reaction!
Really? Where are your sources for your assertion? Many allergies are caused by under/over exposure?
This is Slashdot. No need for evidence or scientific method, especially if it disproves one's argument :)

"non DRM" -- I thought all ereaders can read non-DRM formats anyway, is there one that can't?
The universe doesn't revolve around the US.
You fucking liar.
You are a second-rate troll. You've just had your ass handed to you, and it's blatantly obvious what you're doing.
The real problem here is how a ridiculous non-story like this made it into Slashdot in the first place.
Just because he prefers one phone over another makes him an idiot? Right.

What an ignorant post, but of course you get modded insightful.
Now yours is a troll post if ever there was one.

Way to promote the starving artists concept! You clearly don't make a living writing books.
A troll from Anonymous Coward suddenly equals reality?
How the fuck did that get modded interesting?
Except a girl.

Sounds like some sour grapes to me.
