I am patenting a system for the moderation of online discussion boards using different models of messages and a scoring system that can allow users to browse only high-rated or sometimes-funny but nefariously modded down posts.
They will range like so: Insightful Funny Offtopic Troll Informati ve Flamebait
The scoring will range from a -2 though 5 basis, users may boost certain catagories of messages by as many points as they want, further allowing them to see what they want to see.
This system is free to use, but you must agree to the EULA

Thank you, and please be sure to invite me over for dinner... 50,000 Dinas isn't even buying me a zucchini anymore
This is a great idea, but it really depends on how well the implement the DVD burning from the harddrive..
This will need to have editing options to cut out commercials.. and that will bringe a whole wave of trouble onto the makers... replay TV fiasco, anyone?
The real ticket would be fully editable shows, networking capability (at least 1394... that would be neat.. would encourage people to buy this instead of just a stand alone DVD recorder)
Transfering all those babylon 5 SVCDs to this then burning them would be pretty sweet...
First of all, to even get a donor face, you'd have to take it from a dead donor (Doh, but it's not like with kidneys.. where you can give one and still live a normal.. or at least semi-normal life) And think of how reluctant the loved ones of said donor might be to transplant a face.. even though it wouldn't really be transforming him into the other guy... you can still see how a family might react..
Sony is also running the show with Star Wars Galaxies.. which has a HUGE backing...
Looks as if sony can get enough MMORPGs going... you could have this huge infinite cash supply at your fingertips... seems pretty smart..
Jut wait until the third-generation mmorps... As the need for greater and greater appeal to keep those mass audiences..
Fifty years from now, can you imagine what an MMORPG would look like? Heh, kind of neat to think about.
Hehe, now that I think back about the movie, I do remember that machine.
But that aside, it was still pretty horrid.... I have no doubt that the book is a good piece of literature... although I haven't taken the time to read it, yet.
Exactly!
To each there own, I guess:) But the questions and paradoxes are what I love so much...
A movie that leaves me thinking about it and contemplating it for a while after it's over... open ended movies are great..
Sort of like the feeling I got when I watched Vanilla Sky.... The whole.. was he dreaming the whole time, was it the future.. et cetera
Erm, the tangent universe was created by a fluke in space-time which came from a future that wasn't supposed to happen. It would have still existed, even if he died. And when it collapsed, a black hole would have been created, ending all of existence...
Read the book on the DVD, "The Philosophy of Time Travel"
It explains it rather well... It would have happened, donnie was just the 'chosen one' so to speak, that had to put things back into place...
The airplane engine was just the artifact, and the rabbit was frank, the manipulated dead.... et cetera..
Erm... I don't think you quite understand the concept of the movie.
He was never forced to do anything, nor was his death the salvation of his 'little town'
Though his actions, he prevented the destruction of the entire universe (Space-time collapsing.) It really makes you think about hte every action has a reaction kind of thing..
But then again... who has yet to make a movie with any time travel without some sort of paradox?
Battlefield Earth was the best science fiction movie ever!!!!!!!! Man... Where else can you find a bunch of natives who learn how to fly jets in under 42 hours... all by reading...
I tell you... nothing to get better than that...
And with that whacky scientoligist alien guy... it's excellent! You should all go rent it right now!
Well, as far as books go, I'd have to say the Dune series by Frank Herbert (ALthough, I'm sure you all know that) The way it so elegantly combines action, suspence, twisty curvey plots within plots that actually require one to think... but the prequels... they are just pieces of crap that are poorly written..
As far as movies go... Donnie Darko, although not blatently science fiction, is one great piece of film... you should all watch it...
I know! TetriNET was and still is a great game... but badly in need of new developement..
Do I see an open source tetrinet server/client project coming? I'm sure there must already be a few servers...
The problem is... the client keeps track of the player's specail blocks, score, et cetera... which lead to rampant cheating (Just basic editing of memory locations..) Which kind of ruins it..
After the whole of slashdot gets done visiting that link.. wait.. visiting the link.. I mean half the whole of slashdot.. I'm sure he'll be changing his tune about the "Okay, the two of you can put your hands down now"

You also have to remember that the iraqi people seeing that, that might be the ONLY information they get about the war
If they think they';re winning, less likely to surrender.
I know that, I read the article.. That's why I said, even though the person wouldn't be looking like him, think of how the family would feel

Jack in with the ethernet, man, and score a gibson! ...
SPEAK AND SPELL HACKS YOU!
Anyone remember how freaky those things sounded?
I remember as a kid being scared of it because of that crazy deep rumbling synthesized voice....

With the price of a decent video card being about 50% of a full fledged console... I can see why this is the case..
And now with all the internet capabilities (Xbox Live, PS2 online) It just seems inevitable.
Just wait until the FBI starts talking about how "Blocking ads support terrorism"
Here it comes... 5 4 3 2 1...
He can send the order to randomly freeze another 200 accounts! Let the interest roll!
