  1. Re:china... on Google Disappears In China · · Score: 1

    That link is as spurious as the argument.

    (I'd be quite happy to see Americans use their right to remain silent much more than their infamous 'freedom of speech')

  2. Re:This is a Gimmick on The Return Of The Live Human Being · · Score: 1

    At least their fingers aren't getting caught in the sewing machine.

    (Oh, now that is bad taste... really)

  3. Re:Crane's Law on Interview With Pitfall! Creator, David Crane · · Score: 1

    Hmm... Aussie's are good at this.. the first use of the 'miniature spy cameras'?

    Put them in a cricket stump - so you can give the viewers a really cool view. (Oh, you could put them in change rooms, your cheating partner's car, in your tie when travelling through 'confidential' areas? Didn't think of that - but Justic Woods did ;)

  4. The Case Where the Sequel *is* Better on Australia Oppresses Jedi · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's important to note in the examples above that the Old Testament has been superceded by the New Testament... Old Testament is now Obiter Dicta...

    I don't want to tell you what to believe, but Christians shouldn't be dictating the rules from Exodus, (ie Homosexuality is no more 'wrong' than wearing a shirt made of cotton and wool at the same time, or only having one kitchen to cater for milk, meat and others) and atheists shouldn't be pointing out the contradictions between the Old and New Testament - because that was the whole point of Christ, was to 'give a new commandment' that superceded the ten, which had had their run.

    But it makes me think - maybe you should have about 4000 years between any sequel ;p
    (or in this case, at leat 20 years)

  5. Re:The question is ... on Cremation? Burial? How about Diamonds? · · Score: 1

    Actually, I have already come to terms with being a low-grade diamond.

    Funny how many people want to shoot your ideas down in flames:
    Me: I want to be crushed into a diamond when I die.
    Someone Else: [snort] You'd be a low quality diamond...

    *sniff*

  6. Re:The question is ... on Cremation? Burial? How about Diamonds? · · Score: 2, Funny

    For years I wanted this!

    But, do I have to be cremated first? Aren't I carbon enough in this form?
    *sigh*

    Nobody ever sells me what I really want!!

  7. Re:Deep, man. on Men vs. Machines · · Score: 1

    They should have kept with Mac-friendly name.. Deep Thought, or is that too long a bow, seeing as Douglas Adams was a well-known Mac-user.

  8. Re:Makes no sense. on Speed of Light Inconstant? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it (travelling at the speed of light) will just be par for the course - the photo finish at the horse races may just be black one day.

  9. Re:Slashdotted (copy of the weblog) on OpenSSH Package Trojaned · · Score: 1

    I don't think people should be able to post as anonymous gutless cowards!

    You go right ahead - and check into Mavvie - and then you - you gutless, stupid wonder playing at Columbo - can apologise!

    The guy saves the world - and you can't even accuse him with an identity.

    Mavvie rules! Anonymous cowards usually suck - and this one's the pits.

  10. Re:Slashdotted (copy of the weblog) on OpenSSH Package Trojaned · · Score: 1

    Mavvie, You rule!

    (Btw "Mavvie" = "the guy who found the trojan")

  11. Re:And the reason for it is? on Matrix Reloaded Filming Wants to Shut Sydney Down · · Score: 1

    [Personal Assistant whispers in the mayor's ear]
    Mayor: [cough] Um... your movie doesn't have a need for dogs in it, does it?
    Filmmaker: Errr - not yet.
    Mayor: Its just without people in the city, what will the sniffer dogs so?
    Filmmaker: I guess they will just have to star in our movie.

  12. Re:Auto Generation for Consistancy on Calling All Dungeon Masters · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hmm.. there's a lot to be said for consistency... and a lot to be said for a generator as you've described it. BUT... I won't let a computer near my game (except for storing data after the fact, and thought)... there is something amazingly skewiff about computer-generated randomness... or maybe there is something skewiff with our perception of randomness, that I don't like what the computer generates. And of course, the essence of a good game lies in the ideas. The generation of data - well, you could go to the Bureau of Statistics for that - but it won't lead to a good game of D&D. "The White Pages - yes... lots of interesting characters, shame about the plot."

  13. Re:Why Review this old movie? on Review: U-571 · · Score: 1

    When I walked out of this atrocious movie.. I wanted to know who was going to repay me the two hours I was owed from it... I'd just like to know who will repay the 15 minutes I spent reading this review? Hmmm... how did someone who disliked it so much take so many notes in the first watching?
