The honest truth is that "Matthew Hemming" is such an unbelievably common name here in Soviet Canuckistan that I am forced to use middle names in order to differentiate myself from everyone else in our pack of iglus.
Can you imagine the confusion when our mothers called us for supper otherwise?
I've already been deluged with e-mails from the copycatters, asking me to do a Darth Vader post about their lame, one-entry blogs.
Like the grunting one. Fuck. Right. Off. It was funny for Schiavo, but if the author had any real guts they'd actually give us the Wookiee's inner thoughts.
And they just go downhill from there. I've seen two Emperor Palpatine blogs, two Luke Skywalkers, and one not half bad one by the son of Biggs.
If I see one from Wickett the Ewok I think I'm going to commit seppuku.
Somebody get me a.torrent of Episode III (after I've paid to see the premiere via traditional exhibition methods, of course) and I'll see to it that just such an.MP3/.ACC/.WHTVR is created.
I'll need to cast a good voice, though. Does anybody know if James Earl Jones works for half-scale?
Uh...thanks for the traffic -- I hope the spillover to my own website hasn't just cost be a bazillion dollars in bandwidth.
I'm watching my stats go through the roof...so *this* is getting Slashdotted. Good thing I hosted the thing on BlogSpot.
Mercy.
Why is the phrase "even Canada" repeated three times in the article?
Is it so hard to believe we're a high-tech country, just because we're homey, cold and large ineffectual in the world sphere?
C'mon.
We have a history of happily adopting new technologies, including automated banking and debit card purchases, our use of which is (last time I checked) among the highest penetration anywhere.
"Even" Canada -- my arse!
We lead you dinks in making the Star Trek future real.
Normally I'm the last one to bring up a platformist issue, but in this case Google's strategy bamboozles me.
Most content-creation happens on the Mac platform, yet Google's video uploading tool is only available for Windows.
How the heck is *that* supposed to support the filmmaker?
As a creative professional I know a truckload of filmmakers, editors and animators. And they use Macs. I don't care why, you don't care why, let's not debate it -- but the point is Macs are the INDUSTRY STANDARD there.
Man, that's *so* twentieth century. I came to/. for the bleeding edge in information acquisition technology: realtime optical scanning blocks of glyphs encoding human language.
I thought I was going to have to wait until they started dimensionifying old non-holographic movies until I once again heard the keen of good films having their asses wrung with sandpaper.
Are there any non-evil applications or this artform?
Don't get me wrong, I think it's ingenious -- and it rides the line nicely. I just wonder if Google will try to squirm out of paying on the basis of their fairly vague TOS.
Personally, I think doing so would be at least somewhat evil, which runs against the Google credo, so I'm not saying he's doomed. He may well be rewarded handsomely for his efforts.
If memory serves, the AdSense TOS states that putting Google ads on pages that have been created specifically with the purpose of attracting advertising-linked traffic is vorboten.
Like many AdSense policies, it's a bit hard to enforce with zero tolerance given the fuzzy nature of the subject, but -- well, calling attention to it like this sort of solves that problem of judgement.
Wouldn't Google therefore be within their rights to withhold payment on the asbestos clicks?
To effectively use Apple iHDTV 3D Holo-Garage Band home studio with patented QuickTimeHolo technology, we recommend using a G14 computer with a one button psychic-cursor and at least fifty quadrillion golybits of RAM.
Slashdot Mirror
Hi, you know me -- I'm that cheeseburger who wrote The Darth Side: Memoirs of a Monster which was Slashdotted a couple of months ago.
My new science-fiction novel is also on-line, being issued as a serial in blog format. If you're not a big stupid retard, check it out!
Simon of Space
Probably read it later.
This is the *last* time we ever get to be this excited about Star Wars again -- amazingly -- we may not feel SICK about it the next day!
Imagine that!
It's like I'm back in May of 1999 again -- innocent and as yet untainted by Jar Jar.
Also, the swell of enthusiasm has meant great things for those of us who happen to journal the daily life of certain dark lords of the Sith.
Your knowledge of pop culture is weak, old man.
Sheesh, am I the only one who's seen SpaceBalls?
Ignorant git. All the best of us around here read it, of course, in the classic of twentieth century literature: Spaceballs: The Novelization.

After all, you haven't yet paced up and down in front of the jury while bobbing your head like a chicken and bringing up the Chewbacca Defense.
Lazy, lazy, lazy.
That's comparable to saying "if you don't want to be Slashdotted, don't run a website...'cause you never know!"
/dev/trash, you smell like cheese.
I am grateful to the submitter (or the editor) who decided a direct link to my website in the story copy would be...cruel.

WTF, Google?
Man, that's *so* twentieth century. I came to /. for the bleeding edge in information acquisition technology: realtime optical scanning blocks of glyphs encoding human language.
I can't absorb information I can't copy/paste.
Yeah, because people use Avid for high-end compositing. You are a coward, anonymous -- and a lying one, to boot.
...For instance, the image where he recolors the fabric on the chair.
That's already easy as pie, with today's standard compositing software.
I do it for a living.
Thank goodness.

Are there any non-evil applications or this artform?
Can I smoke cigarettes as a form of birth control?
I need a handy disinformation pamphlet.
Also: a patent for type-os.
"Application for a patent that covers the act of patenting software intellectual property."
That that, logic!

You are a sad, strange little man -- and you have my pity.
Farewell!
Nonsense. Since the dawn of time man has yearned to destroy the sun.
