  1. Re:One of my favorite books about hackers on Mitnick Calls for Hacker Stories · · Score: 1

    They made the book into a short doco/film that aired on the ABC earlier this year.

    Overall it was quite interesting, but the pedantic among us would find a few inconsistences.

  2. Re:WARNING -SPOILER! on The Matrix: Resolutions · · Score: 1

    >That means he acknowledges Neo's status

    I interpreted it as the Oracle within Smith communicating with Neo, hinting to him to sacrifice himself. The entire prophesy was a plan by the Oracle to bring peace, which is verified at the end when the Architect quips "you have played a risky game" (or something like that).

    >All that stuff at the end about Neo potentially coming back is an allusion to the messiah.

    IMO The point of Neo was to carry all the flaws in the Matrix to the source, so they can be fixed for the next version. Since the Matrix isn't perfect there is a good chance the anomaly will be born in the future.

  3. Gummi Beers on Skittlebrau · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Method:

    Put gummi bears in alcohol (vodka apparently works best).
    Over a few hours, they will soak up the alcohol and grow about twice their size.

  4. Re:A possible spoiler... on The Matrix: Revolutions Theatrical Trailer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They are above the dark clouds.

  5. Re:I Understand Now on Justice Department Proud of Patriot Act Slippery Slope · · Score: 1

    If tabacoo companies could find a way to make them addictive and healthy, they'd do it so fast it'd take your breath away (pun intended).

    I found this interesting from a conspiracy theorist point of view, but I can't vouch for the accuracy.

  6. Insightful?! on Beatles Bite Apple · · Score: 2, Funny

    Mod parent '+5 sorrowful'

  7. Guess what the lead story on Aussie news was? on Is it Just Me, Or Is Our Mainframe Missing? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Farmer kills neighbours dog.
    Child pleads to farmer "don't kill my dog sir!" when his boxer was seen chasing the farmers cattle.
    Farmer shoots dog; thinks it is attacking his livestock.
    Close up of dogs grave
    The words "he was the best dog in world" seen on the tombstone.
    The farmer was apparently unavailible for comment. He was away at a conference .

    Good to see we focus on the important news stories.

  8. What the really mean is.. on Sunday Newspapers, Now With CDs · · Score: 5, Interesting

    benefit from the rich multimedia content

    "suffer from the bland multimedia advertising"

  9. Re:Free Trade on Australian Court Doubles CD Importers' Fines · · Score: 1

    Little Johnny took to the streets of America recently in order to strengthen his name.


    (right hand side, apologies for realplayer video)

  10. Re:i *WANT* to buy CDs... on Kazaa CEO vs. Hilary Rosen · · Score: 1

    I also steal music because I don't want to fund the people suing the people who steal music like me.

    It's at the top of my excuse list I tell my friends who also want to freely steal/copy/yap.

  11. Re:Fine RIAA ! on Inquiry Into RIAA's Piracy Crackdown Tactics · · Score: 1

    Where will we find such a hero?!?

  12. Re:What the.. ? on Xbox Linux Made Possible Without a Modchip · · Score: 1

    Crown Lager is exported overseas and labelled Fosters...

    ....so my unreliable, alcoholic sources say.

  13. Incorrect spelling. on Will Video Surfing Become Reality? · · Score: 1, Redundant

    It's the CSIRO.

  14. Re:Have you seen the Courtney Love Salon article on How Labels And Artists Divvy Up Your Dollar Online · · Score: 1

    Interesting to see our favorite senator Orrin Hatch there too.

  15. Re:Please read before mod on Aussie Company Releases Xbox Mod-Chip Designs · · Score: 1

    There are some other tales here
    (Up the top, under J-Dogg)

  16. Re:heh on Want To Write Your Own OS? · · Score: 1

    Instead of building an OS from the ground up, yuo should plan to just make an X-rated theme for an existing GUI OS.

    It could save some time.

  17. Re:The one thing I didn't understand on Matrix Gets Egyptian Ban For Explicit Religion · · Score: 5, Insightful

    In my mind it was either:
    a) Neo's many conflicting reactions on all forms of consciousness.ÂÂ
    or
    b) The Architect's list of every possible way Neo could react.

  18. Reminds me of Palahniuk's Survivor.. on How to Become a Patent Millionaire · · Score: 1

    The main characters agent has patented thousands of yet to be named cures using every possible greek/latin/english combination. He keeps the 'medicine' (which is just M&M's at the moment) in labelled vials which he carries in his suitcase.
    The agent also gives his client the 'cure' for anxiety, because he seems stressed.

  19. Re:"Controlling their military with drugs" on Future Army Battle Uniforms - Wired, Lethal · · Score: 1

    Don't forget a large prozac supply to calm the soldier when he sees the icky part of war.

  20. Re:I'm Boycott the next Star Wars on Star Wars Episode III: Behind the Scenes Webcam · · Score: 1

    I'm beginning to think George Lucas has sold out

    Too easy.

  21. Re:WIDE open to abuse on Trepia: A Buddy List Of Strangers · · Score: 1

    I'm sure they thought about that and...

    Don't worry about it guy. Everything will work out.
    Just marvel at the technology.

  22. You mean I can dodge bullets? on The Computational Requirements for the Matrix · · Score: 3, Funny

    No, I'm telling you your just trapped.

  23. Re:100s of Agent Smiths... on BitTorrent Blamed for Matrix2 Downloads · · Score: 1

    Fight it for a few minutes then fly away?

  24. Re:Neat... on Sam & Max in 3D · · Score: 1

    Why wait a year?
    I doubt the sequel will be better than the classic.
    There's a number of people who regard S&M as abandonware now, and it'll run on modern systems with this.

  25. Sacrilegious Nintendo on Wario Ware Inc. Site Opens · · Score: 1

    "wario giveth and wario taketh away" Hopefully there are more great Bible quotes like that in the full game.
