Suggestion: Get a bunch of friends together, go buy tickets to Underworld, and all walk out five minutes later in staggered groups to complain about the spots and demand a refund. That's about the only way to express your disapproval to the theater owner in a way that he can understand directly affects his bottom line.
they should blast the audience with emp energy. take out cell phones and cameras alike. no cameras = no piracy.
maybe they can even make one for loud annoying kids.
holywood and divx in one sentence?
i would think that they wouldnt link the idea of divx because it's so easily distributed and has no copy protection.
i'm curious as to when operating systems like this will go mainstream. i woved to stop using windows as soon as microsoft interferes with my media usage. many will follow when their current operating systems go from buggy to buggy and restrictive.
i didnt really expect to see another release of BeOS. i'm interested in seeing how useful it would perform as a business, internet and gaming OS.
tracking an asteroid is like looking at the graph of a function. it looks like a line, and it looks like it's heading right for us (ahh!), but in realiy, after some more data comes in, the trajectory is curved and the asteroid is going somewhere else.
solution? wait a while before reporting the damn things.
if the crazy right winged conservatives that make bush look like a wet puppy get their way, then no. but if a huge killer asteroid was headed towards the earth, someone would notice, and the news would spread rather quickly.
do we really need to be notified every time an asteroid is within a percentage of a collision course?
the media should focus on the more interesting statistics of astronomy.. like.. uh.. mars!
it's nice to know that some major corporations are opposing the actions of the recording industry where the average person is usually powerless.
what other internet service providers are chosing to fight the RIAA instead of just giving in?

I'm very curious as to why optonline provides such high speeds and no limits with all these other companies over the US going crazy with limiting bandwidth usage, capping speeds, and even going as far as monitoring transfers.
I'd hate to see the day when optopnline joins the trend.
I live in NYC and I have the same deal, only I pay more because I dont have a premium cable tv package. For $50/m i get around 6mbit down and 900kbit up. I'm fine with the downstream, but it would be nice if my upstream was a bit higher. Most of the areas around where I live dont support optonline, so I'm one of the lucky ones.

if the "smart clothing" crashes, does the wearer have to strip naked, reboot his clothes and put them back on?
because the movie itself isnt bad enough?

this is by far one of the weirdest things that i've read about on /. in the past month.
bring on the soviet russia jokes.

that's actually not funny until said out loud a few times.
come on, with the accent now.

what? where's the oversized heatsink/fan and external power connector?
i just put out $500 on an xp2200 system upgrade. dont feel too bad. sell the chip and get the faster one if it's so important.
