I found that C|Net's Skinny Dubaud's review to be much better and extremely short. It also covers the play at New York's Cherry Lane Theater that Mike Daisey is doing, as well as the new F'ed Company book. I learned more in three paragraphs of reviews there than I did with three pages of Katz.
If you're from Planet Gay, then you don't *have* to have those of the female persuasion. But I tend to like to have a few females around to keep the testosterone levels down and to liven up the place.
Sorry, I'll download it but I won't be having a party. I would actually like some girls to show up, and having the latest browser doesn't exactly drive the ladies crazy.
Paint me green and call me a troll, but michael do you always have to somehow blame the President for everything that goes wrong in the world? Why not just post the news and let the reader decide for him/herself on what to think?
Mid-90's?!? Piracy has been going on since the 70's my friend.
Why are we reading this diary entry?

Are we going to be subjected to his experiences at the McDonald's drive-thru when they get his order wrong? Or when the pizza guy delivers the wrong pizza? Horrible tech service is definitely not new, as there are countless web sites dedicated to war stories and experiences.
You are exactly right. This was the beginning of a good essay on how the story of Spider-Man better relates to today's movie goer. But why oh why does he always have to insert some September 11th reference into every article lately? Spider-Man isn't about terrorists or government plots. It's not about solving the problems of the Middle East.
Spider-Man, just as Jon Katz wrote in the beginning of the article, is about a person considered weak in several areas is given superpowers and must decide how to use them. It's about coming to a realization that truly with great power comes great responsibility. Throughout the hundreds of stories, Spider-Man has always come back to this statement and it's meaning.
Either way, it's a bit early to compare one film to five other films that contain continuity. Will future Spider-Man films harken back to the theme of responsibility? Will the sequels be able to call upon those themes of having everything you want, but at what cost? Jon Katz should try coming back in a few years and rewriting this article to see which franchise is better at keeping it's mythos intact.
I don't see why they can't make a Slashdot version. They can replace the dragon with the latest Katz article and measure the galvanic response of readers. You could also substitute any article on Microsoft or about the latest Linux kernel. The player wins by either writing the calmest post or just by not saying anything at all.
James playing Scotty inspired me to be the computer engineer I am today. He showed that true heros are the guys behind the scenes keeping the ship afloat. Not only that, his character showed that engineers could be smart and *cool* at the same time.
I truly hope he gets better because losing him would be a loss to all geeks.
This is the same type of moaning and groaning I heard when it was revealed that Michael Keaton was selected to play Batman. The issue of organic shooters is just plain nonsense. The same people who complain about it are the same people who praised the genius of Spider-Man 2099, who had organic shooters and spider "claws" so he could stick to walls.
Stan Lee, creater of Spider-Man, has already stated, "The film not only does the comic justice, but it's really better than the comic--and I don't say that lightly." If the movie is alright by the Old Man, it's good enough for me.
Actually there are three reasons. The first is that Cinemark headquarters is located in Plano. The theater is only a few years old and has every amenity. The longest lines are at the concession stand and not at the restroom. Second is that, yes, the DLP facility is across the street. They've also placed the DLP screens in the two biggest theaters in the complex.
Cinemark Legacy is probably the best digital theater in the country. They don't charge a premium for any of the movies shown on the DLP screens and are constantly showing movies on some of the latest DLP projectors. I've seen Toy Story 2, Final Fantasy, Monsters Inc. among other films there. If you go during the day, you usually get wisked away to the upper levels of the theater to take surveys on DLP and give input to future development of the technology. (ie. surcharges, more or less likely to see a DLP movie)
The third reason? Simple. The DLP Cinema Program selected Plano as "the home of DLP Cinema technology."
Carmack is a gifted programmer. What he is *not* is a gifted designer. You neglect the other 15 people that work at id Software who put their stamp on character and level design.
Has everyone forgotten that it was the greatness in the form of Sandy Petersen that put his stamp on Doom and Quake? Sid, Sandy and Wil are the creative geniuses that you seek. Carmack only does his creative work on the programming side.
If the law and the police weren't involved, everyone involved would be willing to allow the action (the sale of sex/drugs) to occur.
Oh, man, I needed a good laugh. I'll keep this in mind when the crack house up the street which is lowering the property values in the neighborhood, sells some bad crack to a pimp, who also happens to beat girls, goes on a tear and kills the next door neighbor.
Guess again. Not everyone would be willing to let all this to happen. Wouldn't this just welcome the return of mob justice?
When I first moved into my new home about 3 years back, I decided to go ahead and get my cable, phone and internet connection all through AT&T Cable. I was in a fairly new neighborhood and there was plenty of construction going on in the neighborhood.
During that time, I had my cable line cut three times. I didn't have any television, couldn't call the cable company to come out and fix the line and couldn't even use the internet to fill out an online form. I had to resort to my cell phone to get any work done from home.
I also found over time that my phone lacked a lot of features that I had grown accustomed to. For instance, I didn't have any voice mail indicators like I had with SWBELL and if the power went out, the battery backup would quickly discharge. To me, it quickly wasn't worth the inconvience. I still have AT&T for my cable modem, but now have Dish Network and SWBELL to fill in the gaps.

All you need to do is entangle a video card and a monitor and voila! Wireless video with all the bandwidth you need and no distance restriction. Just that pesky entanglement problem to figure out. Maybe if you rubbed them together really hard....

Oh don't get me wrong, if they show it, I'll be first in line. Make sure you bring something in case of motion sickness.
Exactly. It should be subtitled "Or How to Succeed in Writing a Book Without Really Trying".
It's not like you're going to be playing Doom III on the screen. A system as you described looked great when displaying SW:AotC. Why wait?

The only mythology in Star Wars is George Lucas thinking he can write and direct.

Or even better, his simulator wasn't running off the same server as the web server.

"Were you ever involved in the first Echelon system?"
"Only at the end of it. It was already operational when I entered the picture."
So which is it? I don't think this is quite the smoking gun we think this to be.
This whole thing could be averted if advertisers would get with the program and start making blipverts. Everybody wins (with a few exceptions).

I think the crooks will catch on once they notice the red LED strobing light at the front of the car.
