  1. Re:after reading above comments,... on Review: Matrix: Reloaded · · Score: 1

    im a bit worried that Reloaded has scenes that are confusing/lame/unnecessary.

    Yes, yes it does. However, as much as the marketing droids would like to have you believe otherwise, a film should stand on it's own merits, not the spin-off merchandising.

    Believing that you need to purchase their drivel spin-off garbage is proof of an insidious advertising campaign, no more.

    I liked "Spaceballs the Movie" even though I didn't buy "Spaceballs the Toilet Paper" or "Spaceballs the Flamethrower."

  2. Re:Did the Matrix 2 suck, or was it just me? on Review: Matrix: Reloaded · · Score: 1

    Pure, precious lifegiving energy!

    DRINK YOUR POWERADE!

  3. Re:Did the Matrix 2 suck, or was it just me? on Review: Matrix: Reloaded · · Score: 5, Funny

    Go drink some Poweraid. Perhaps that will make you feel better.

  4. Re:The biggest mistake [technical dialogue] on Review: Matrix: Reloaded · · Score: 1

    He doesn't really use that much jargon, he is just scripted to speak in unnecessarily large words to make himself sound smart.

    And he says "ergo" about twenty times.

  5. Re:MATRIX RELOADED -- opening night on Review: Matrix: Reloaded · · Score: 1

    At least in the film The Thirteenth Floor, it only takes one movie for the plot to be revealed.

    The Matrix guys seem to think we want to see three to have the whole story revealed. What a cash cow.

  6. Sex Scene on Review: Matrix: Reloaded · · Score: 3, Informative

    I personally felt that the love scene between Neo and Trinity was a little overboard

    Overboard? How about totally fucking lame. The whole thing was shots of Keanu's arm-plugs spliced between shots of dirty hippies dancing. Gag me. The first hour of the movie was absolute rubbish.

  7. You are dim. on Lowest Raw Score Ever on the SAT · · Score: 1

    Yes, because one result will obviously affect the average of hundereds of thousands of other results.

  8. hmm on Lowest Raw Score Ever on the SAT · · Score: 1

    Here is my suggestion to you: Duplicate "someone's" +5 funny post, once per story. Any more than that is too obvious.

  9. Re:Buzz words. on How Would You Argue for Open Source? · · Score: 1

    I already told you, I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to, I have people skills, I am good at dealing with people, can't you understand that, WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE!!

  10. Re:Somewhere in Florida, lots of voters are riled. on Microsoft Sued for Defective Software · · Score: 1

    The United States of America never claims to be a democracy, popular american culture does.

    It's fairly common knowledge among people who don't watch too much television that the US is a representative democracy, and technically a Republic.

  11. I love madonna! on RIAA Chats With Song Swappers · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I would eat her diarrehea with a spoon and enjoy every last chucky, runny bit.

  12. Re:out of that list... on Assorted Video Game Movies in Development · · Score: 1

    Now, it's not like you would ever have to see her face until the end of the movie

    Right, like an actress in the leading role IS GOING TO WEAR A HELMET THROUGH THE ENTIRE FILM.

    "Yes, let's pay twenty million dollars to cast Julia Roberts as this 'Samus' person, and the great part is you won't even know it's her because she's wearing bulky body armor and a helmet at all times!"

  13. Re:Well then on New Terminator 3 Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    IIRC, there were Railguns in The 6th Day, though they might have been Gauss guns...

    jeez, must be time for me to go to San Fransisco and stock up on more caseless ammo :)

  14. Re:Vin Diesel is no Arnold. on New Terminator 3 Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    Total Recall was not about cloning, that was The 6th Day. You have a good point though. Another good Arnie sci-fi flick was The Running Man.

  15. Re:java? on IBM To Publish Java Office Suite · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Microsoft was a victim of sun's harh contracts

    IIRC, the virtual machine debate was the fault of Microsoft for not upholding its end of a bargain.

    Good troll.

  16. Re:Can they make it any slower? on IBM To Publish Java Office Suite · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sure. They could have chosen to write it in Whitespace instead of Java.

  17. Ancent history. on Comparing Sci-fi Starship Sizes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    See this abusenet thread for the original debate, the Enterprise versus an Imperial Star Destroyer!

    It's especially funny because you thought you were joking.

  18. Re:sounds good on Unlocking Alzheimer's Mysteries · · Score: 1

    though i usually resent brain surgery

    Yes, every time I recieve brain surgery I also harbor bad feelings...?

  19. Re:Benefits of Slashdotting on Online Epic to Release Penultimate Episode · · Score: 1

    That was an April Fool's Day joke.

  20. Re:Flash bad for long form animation? on Online Epic to Release Penultimate Episode · · Score: 1

    That bothers the hell out of me as well... and to top it off, it spawns an unresizeable window to hold the damn thing in.

    I believe it would be possible to create such a "slide-bar" within Flash itself, but the authors simply chose not to do so.

    *scurrys off to watch the quicktime animatrix shorts instead*

  21. Re:Complete article on 2.5.65 On 32-way NUMA-Q with Preempt Enabled · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The "article" source is a bunch of emails strung together?

    Not only is this story completely disinteresting, it's a bunch of gibberish from Zwane Mwaikambo the hold-my-kingdom's-money-for-us-we-just-need-your-b ank-account-number guy.

  22. Re:What gas clouds!? on Gas Clouds As Giant Telescopes · · Score: 1

    All of the pages you refrenced refer to "interstellar medium" outside of the solar system.

    However, the illustrations on the explanatory page are wildly out of scale and show the gas clouds sitting nearly atop the earth. It gave me the impression of vast expanses of "ether-bubbles" floating above us, and was also a bit puzzled.

  23. Re:IM standard on The FCC and Media Consolidation · · Score: 1

    Imagine if the phone companies could get away with this. Sprint customers wouldn't be able to call MCI customers, for example.

    No one purchases Sprint phones, and the company's buisiness goes to a competitor?

  24. Re:Orson Scott Card's genocide connection on Ender's Game Influences US Army Training · · Score: 1

    Well, perhaps the next time one of these primitive-people write an award winning science fiction book, they can dedicate it to their ancestors.

  25. Re:This antiseptic obsession on Clothes That Kill · · Score: 1

    Amazing, someone who watched "Jurrassic Park" with a grain of salt!

    I was certain everyone would be raving: "LIFE WILL FIND A WAY!"
