  1. Re:Typical cop response on TSA Wants You To Keep Your Seat, and Your Hands In Sight · · Score: 1

    You aren't thinking far enough. The natural conclusion is that eventually airline passengers will be stripped naked, strapped to their seats, and sedated for the entire flight. Enjoy you flight!

  2. Re:This'll sort itself out in short order on Britain to Pilot GPS Speed Governors · · Score: 1

    Why exactly would this be modded "Funny"? Peak Oil is terribly serious, and our lives will depend on how we get energy in the very near future. A bit of reading on the subject.

  3. Re:WHERE THE HELL IS BOOK?! on Serenity Trailer Finally Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    Book is in the trailer. Background, 1 min 56 secs in.

  4. Re:WHERE THE HELL IS BOOK?! on Serenity Trailer Finally Released · · Score: 1

    From the looks of things, Kaylee and Book may be minor characters in the film. IMDB confirms that both characters/actors are in the film, but the trailer seems to suggest a limited role.

  5. Re:Who would have thought? on The Joy of Random Shuffle · · Score: 1

    3. Linked tracks in otherwise random shuffle. For example: A Jazz piece here, a rock song there, then it gets to a classical concerto and some metadata indicates that it should play all three movements of the concerto in order (assuming each movement was encoded as a seperate file), then move on to the next random selection. This would also allow you to link tracks together from concept albums (e.g. latter part of Abbey Road).

  6. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within on 13 Nominations to Rule Them All · · Score: 1

    While I'm happy to see that LOTR got so many nominations, the snub of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within for Best Animated Film is disheartening. Square Pictures made a leap of faith and came up with one of the most interesting, visually stunning films of the last decade. While the fickle public avoided it and it seems critics had an axe to grind against the audacity of such compelling "synthespians", this was, in my opinion one of the finer films released last year. I am further upset by those films the Academy members chose instead. While those films are no doubt entertaining, FFTSW was a masterwork, a groundbreaking film. Square's Hawaii studio is folding, but I guess if you are going to go out, go out on top. For a studio that produced only one full length feature film, you would be hard pressed to create one as cool as the one they did. At least this film will live on in the fab 2-disc DVD set. Here's hoping history will be kinder to the film than the American movie going public, critics, and the Academy members were.
