  1. Re:Sum of All Fears...(director's thoughts) on DVD Format Changing Movie-making · · Score: 1

    lets see, we'll take this movie...it came after these other ones, but we'll change the roles of everybody, and while we're at it, muslim terrorists arent good right now, so we'll go with neo-nazis, and...

    COME ON! I know that movies rarely follow the books, but this is too fucking stupid. maybe the dvd will have the option of actually following the book.

  2. Re:From the article... on Time Travel · · Score: 1

    if you sent it a few seconds into the future, though, it would always be a few seconds into the future, so you would never be able to tell if it worked or not.

  3. Re:Use with caution on When Looks Can Kill · · Score: 1

    well, that might happen, except for the fact that you have to:
    a. press a button to shoot.
    b. the enemy control tower (if it even existed) would have been nailed by a HARM before any air support went in.
    c. the control tower can't see ice on the wing. aircraft show up as dots.
    d. aircraft communications are secure, which means it's really hard to eavesdrop.
    e. you would never make it through boot camp if you think listening to the enemy is a good idea.

    so, from these points, i can come to the conclusion that you are: a moron.

  4. Re:pheonix? on Your Own Luxury Submarine! · · Score: 1

    the idea of a car in the back is interesting, but you would need one of those car/boats because, well, cars have negative buoyancy, and so they sink. on the other hand, it would be pretty cool to keep a small speedboat in there (james bond, anyone?)

  5. Re:About time on Your Own Luxury Submarine! · · Score: 1

    submarines today do not have deck guns. deck guns were used back when submarines were designed like boats, to be submerged only when attacking. today's military subs are much more capable than subs from the deck gun era. instead of a deck gun, think "vertical launch Tomahawk cruise missile" and "50 knot torpedo." why expose your ship to surface fire?

  6. watch out /. on PetsWarehouse vs. Mailing List · · Score: 1

    so, if i have this right, a company sued people that didnt like them. imagine what would happen to slashdot readers if microsoft decided to do that.

  7. Re:Amazingly on Leaked FEMA/ASCE Draft Report On WTC Collapse · · Score: 1

    Israel's genocidal attacks on the Palestinian people!!

    And what about the Palestinian suicide bomber attacks on the Israli people? Dont they count, or because the U.S. supports Israel, is you point of view that they dont matter?

  8. Re:they are all losers on Review of pressplay and RealOne · · Score: 1

    hey sony already does that. minidisc, if i record something on my recorder (even something i did myself, like a presentation or speech or whatnot) i cannot upload it to my computer digitally. sony's crappy software and proprietary format ensures that my rights are infringed upon. if i write a speech, and record it, it is my 'intellectual property' and i should be able to do as i damn well please with it. but, sony doesnt like that idea, apparently.

  9. Re:When I bought my first PC on Most Outrageous Vendor Lie Ever Told? · · Score: 1

    when my parents bought their first computer, it was a macintosh with a 66 MHz processor. the salesman told them "this computer won't be obsolete for at least five years." it had a 14.4 modem, that they wouldnt upgrade, because "it won't be obsolete for (5-x) more years"

  10. Re:Seriously? Mutation? on Thumbs Are the New Fingers for GameBoy Youth · · Score: 1

    well, the people of japan were training, as you would recall if you weren't so biased, to kill as many american soldiers as possible. they were, in that respect, soldiers (women and children were training to kill, as well as any men that weren't in the army), and as such america did not commit acts of terrorism by killing noncombatants. if you train to kill people, you are, in fact, a combatant. people in the world trade centers were not training to kill Al Queda "freedom fighters," and they were not combatants in any sense of the word. they were civilians, and a civilian target was attacked there. so, the attackers were terrorists, who deliberatly targeted people that were not trying to kill them, and that were not in a war with them, and that were simply going to work like any other day.

  11. Re:Right on time on Ikeya-Zhang Now Visible · · Score: 1

    nostradamus didn't say that, it was a hoax. i dont have a link, but i'm sure you can find some info about it on google

  12. it's not a ufo on Build Your Own UFO · · Score: 1

    UFO stands for unidentified flying object. so, please, tell me how, if you build it, you cant identify it. if you build it, it simply becomes a flying object. a UFO isnt neccessarily an alien spacecraft, its simply something that you cant identify.

  13. Re:I'm moving to Mexico... on North Pole is Leaving Canada · · Score: 1

    the north pole can move north, as it is not at the geographic north pole. it cant really follow a compass, though, unless it heads south. (magnetic south)

  14. Re:What else do people expect? on Morpheus Hijacks Browsers For Affiliate Links · · Score: 1

    "how else are the developers supposed to make money?" well, they could do 1000 fat chicks for $50. or 50 really fat chicks for $1000.

  16. no internet spies allowed on First 802.11 Wireless Movie Theater? · · Score: 1

    so, will there be a warning before the show about turning off all cellphones, pagers, and laptops/pdas?

  17. Re:Defend himself on Alleged eBay Hacker Goofs up and Goes to Jail · · Score: 1

    "No Net access hrm how do you do any research." well, they have these magical paper thingies called books. in fact, most big cities even have these large buildings called libraries, with many thousands of these books in them. many of these libraries even have books with the legal code in them. it really isnt that hard, it was done for years before the internet was invented. and nothing was said about his lawyers not being able to do internet research. of course, he fired his lawyers, proving that he was an idiot.

  18. Re:That will make the judge go easier on you on Alleged eBay Hacker Goofs up and Goes to Jail · · Score: 1

    yeah, threatening a federal judge is a great way to get contempt charges added to the list.

    you could have a day job and still find time to practice. i go to college full-time, have a part-time job, and still find about an hour a day to practice my guitar.

    i can see it being useful if you have some way of connecting, but without it, all you will get are some pictures of signs in a foreign language.

  24. Recycling Fees on California Considering Recycling Fees on PCs · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If these bills pass, does this mean that we will have to pay a recycling fee when we buy the computer, and then pay a recycling company to do it, or will the recycling itself actually be free now?

  25. Re:Why should I use Linux? on Linux *Won't* Fail on the Desktop? · · Score: 1

    well, as a windows user, i can say that i have all of those things. multiple desktops are easy, windows xp even has them built in. i have focus follows pointer, as well. and, using the ctrl, alt, and windows keys, you can actually have the keyboard bindings. all you have to do is learn the gui, and its controls.
