  1. Re:Mere Christianity on Behind the Scenes of Narnia's Special Effects · · Score: 1

    I found many more instances of biblical references than that. The most impressive thing for me was to see the four humans sitting on thrones, ruling over Narnia along with, well, God. It's definately a christian movie with extremely inspirational scenes (if you can appreciate them, which probably requires you to be a christian) - take out these elements and you have a strange fantasy movie with a wimpy Ice Queen instead of a real bad ass like Sauron.

  2. Let me be the first to say... on Dead Star Set to Escape the Milky Way · · Score: 1

    That's no moon. It's a space station

    "Let me elaborate, for you, since you seem to be completely ignorant on what a liberal is."
    I found the parent's definition pretty good. It seems like it doesn't describe your favourite ideology positively enough, but a definition should be neutral enough so that everyone can agree on it. Then it's possible to understand each other without having to read through lengthy rants with John A, B and C and Mercedeses and BMWs. I didn't read all that but somehow I'm quite sure that even other liberals would be embarrassed to see their ideology represented by that.

    What's the chance of getting attacked in your home? I mean really?

    Not all that unlikely.
    And yet you only cite single isolated events.

    Is Your Development Project a Sinking Ship?

  6. some quotes on Interview With Richard Stallman · · Score: 0

    Stallman: "It's the GNU operating system, and the Hurd is its kernel."
    Instantly reminded me of "There is no god but Allah and Mohammed is his Prophet"
    also
    Stallman: "When people forget that, they start drifting toward the practical but superficial values shared by the open source movement and Microsoft: the idea that the only thing that matters about your software is whether it gets your jobs done and what it costs." Sweet.
    Stallman: "We will keep supporting Linux-based versions of the GNU system for as long as they remain popular."
    At the end of all time, the galaxies will rush towars each other and all matter and energy will end up compressed into a gravitational singularity...thus the universe will disappear and nothing at all will remain...nothing, except the Free Software Foundation, of course, who will be there, invulnerable, immune to everything, waiting for the next big bang...

  7. tucher coolkeg on Keeping Your Keg Cool Sans Ice · · Score: 0

    Something similar already exists here in Germany http://www.tucherbraeu.de/bier/produkte/index_Cool keg.html The beer itself isn't that good though.

    That would be Wittgensteinian

  9. impact on real world... on MMORPG Economies Explored in Depth · · Score: 0
    From the article
    The impact of games How would a large emigration of work and play time to these virtual worlds affect the economy of the real world?
    I might be stating the obvious, but those people who waste their lifes with these games won't have much influence on the economy of the real world. How could they have the time and dedication for starting a business or qualifying for one of the higher payed jobs? (And yes, I am forcing myself to stay away from these games.)
  10. Re:sinking real fast now... on The Sinking Ship that is AOL · · Score: 0
    I must unfortunately recommend such solutions for clueless users because it's the only way they're going to get support for answering stupid questions because the people who run small businesses that ship better products don't have the time or money of all of that.
    I'd say customer support is a part of the product. If you actually want to serve customers and have the better product, you might want to keep that in mind.

    and when will we be able to buy moderator points on slashdot?

  12. Do you trust them now? on Randomizing Survey Answers For Accuracy · · Score: 0

    Either I trust "them" to be completely honest and fair, then I can give them my information. If I don't trust them to use my information properly then why should I trust them that they actually use this IBM-program? Either they find some way to get information out of my false answers or make me trust them.

    That is true! . . . (First Post - for me, anyway. No reason to mark me as a foe yet, my postings will improve!)
