If you're going to go to that much trouble, you should fish out the little metal strip too, since when the Black Helicopter flies overhead it can scan for those;)
I wish we had video of the 'discussions',

Just so we could see Steve sitting there going 'You REALLY don't want to do that'...
Or is that just the Hollywood-script-in-my-head version?
Is a box that intercepted people near my cube and carried on a conversation with them. That way I wouldn't have to worry about them hearing me on the phone, or even talking to them. Just program it to recognize a few standard topics - weather, sporting events, news, and if it's actually someone asking for tech help, it could automatically spit out 'Put in a ticket and we'll call you' so I wouldn't have to 20 times a day...
Just curious as to which paragraphs you think are from a press release. I can see a few phrases maybe, but there's not a single paragraph I can see that would even come close to being just from Microsoft.
And as for the 'paid shills who get advance copies' comment, I know Chris Morris. If you'd read everything there, you'd see he's the Director of Content Development for the website. Basically, the guy in charge of getting stuff to go on the pages, who just happens to really enjoy games. CNNMoney's position gives him the chance to explore the games and game industry. If you read other articles, you'd see he's far from a shill. He may not talk trash about everything that comes down the pike, but he's certainly not going to sugar coat anything. Atari in particular I think is still displeased with him...
The article wasn;t about some obscure TV show, it was about a major motion picture that's coming out, that just happened to have spawned from a less-than-optimally viewed TV show.
And I myself am surprised, with as well-informed and knowledgeable about the world as most/.'ers see themselves, that there'd be 'a relatively few slashdot readers who has even heard of it'.
Dunno, but I thought mentioning it was about a movie coming out, and then the article linked explaining that movie right off did pretty well in filling in the details.
"P.S. Vador is Luke's father."
And here I thought it was Vader. Damn phonebook mixups...
And yeah, I'd consider it a minor spoiler in the grand scheme of things...
"Serenity: (Have you seen the preview?) Some chick in futuristic tight pants, kicking dudes around."
Actually, she's wearing a dress. And id doesn't look like that futuristic an outfit either, unless you count boots as some new, cool footwear of the future.
And without giving away anything important, it's just in the trailer... But then again, having silence in an 'action movie trailer' would be a bad thing too...
Would it be asking too much to have you spell out your problems with the trailer? Keep in mind this is the first teaser trailer, really just designed to grab attention, and make the existing fans cheer a little...
1. It does everything that Lucas started out with and then changed, right - your main characters are real people, without a black and white worldview.
2. The series tells fun stories, tehre's guys with guns and horses and spaceships and fighting, and oh yeah, whores...
3. And if all you;ve been able to tell is that "it's (a) a good story, and (b) set in space", what else do you really need? Tom Cruise? Michael Chiklis in foam rubber? It's a good movie, built around telling a good story, with shit that blows up and people that fight, and cry, and love, and not based around some star just so they have a movie out...
Most of the Crippled CD's I've seen so far were for the really big-name, sellout artists like 'I'm in so much pain when I sing' Celine Dion. Also, might this just cause record companies to drop the artists that complain, getting rid of yet more intelligent, principled artists that care about their fans?
that Salon sprang from the loins of M$, who might have the most to gain from this... Plus, that whole 'butterfly in the wind' thing is awfully evocative of M$'s crazy lil butterfly logo for MSN and all that crap...

Of course, it's already broken. Where's that drunk Scot when we need him?
So, AC, how long you been at Sony?
Shh. The first rule of torrent club is not talking about torrent club. Second is no smoking.

Shouldn't that be just 'thinner', or is the Grammer Nazi my mother beat into me coming out?

Rush as futurists? What's next, Trees fighting amongst themselves?
Sony's riding high, why not slack for a bit and make sure the next gen is really ready to go full-blast out of the gate?
And chris is usually pretty good about not spouting off stuff without really trying to get backup...
About as thrilling as life's been lately ;)
How can you claim an unplayable disk is red-book compliant?
