  1. Re:ST:TNG, Your charecter exit on Ask Wil Wheaton Anything (Part Deux) · · Score: 1


    (one of the many kids who looked up to Wes Crusher)

    Eh? Excuse meee?
    No offense, Wil, but, honestly, even when I was a child the Wes character seemed the most annoying part of Star Trek to me (well, come think, Troi's psycho babble was just as annoying).
    IMHO a lame attempt of producers to appeal to young audiences. Similar to young Anakin in Star Wars I.
    Again, no offense meant, Wil.

    Hey! Mod person! Don't mod me off-topic when you just don't agree!

  2. Re:Not True To The Original on American McGee To Adapt Oz As Movie · · Score: 1


    For one thing, there's a reference to "the darker side of Oz"

    You should check out what he did to Alice in Wonderland.
    Pretty cool (in my opinion), but also much darker (and more violent) than the original Alice in Wonderland.

  3. Anybody remembers Alice? on American McGee To Adapt Oz As Movie · · Score: 1


    I loved American McGee's Alice.
    It seems everybody else hated it, but I liked the scenery and the story. Playing it I felt really in a different world.

  4. Better wait on Another Internet2 Speed Record Broken · · Score: 2, Funny


    I dunno, my internet seems still pretty fast.
    I guess I skip this internet2 thing and just wait for internet3.

  5. Not a defacement on SCO.com Defaced · · Score: 4, Funny


    Why do you think this is a defacemant?
    It's their new business model (you insensitive clods)

  6. That's what happened on Intelsat-7 Lost In Space · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Major West: It's still working.
    John Robinson: What?
    Major West: The hyperdrive. If we can't go around the Sun, then we go straight through it, using your hyperdrive.
    John Robinson: But, without a hypergate, the exit vector's random. There's no telling where we'd come out.

    Only this time they hit the sun. Poor Robinsons.

  7. answer in short on More Exploding Cellphones In The News · · Score: 0


    Shouldn't cellphone companies be making people aware of the hazards of usage?"

    Yes.

  8. It's not a game on SimCity Trains Bad Urban Planners · · Score: 4, Insightful


    (At least the original) Sim City was described by the developers as a toy, not a game, because you can't really win, but there are so many possibilities to play with it.

    Yes, I'm nitpicking. But it's true.

  9. how about us dummies? on Amazon's Best Computer Books of 2004 · · Score: 4, Funny

    I don't buy no book that doesn't have "for dummies" in the title.
    So I wanna preorder
    • Excel Hacks: 100 Industrial-Strength Tips and Tools for dummies
    • The World's 20 Greatest Unsolved Problems for dummies
    But really interesting sounds No. 4:
    • On Intelligence for dummies

    Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
    I tell you cathedral. Profane activities with holy Linux kernel will be prosecuted.

  11. You did it again... on Ballmer Threatens Linux Patent Lawsuits · · Score: 5, Funny


    You left out Tom Bombadil.
    And the liberation of the Shire.

    Bahhh...
    I hope it will be included in the Special Extended Edition of this post...

  12. Re:So... on Humans in America 25,000 Years Ago? · · Score: 1


    Would that be the European, or the African?

    I don't know... aaaaahhh!

  13. Re:What orbit? on China to Have Over 100 Eyes in the Sky · · Score: 1


    The same can be said about a certain other large country. Just thier rape of freedoms is a little less advanced, yet.

    Your signature betrays you.
    Don't feel too safe in little Hobbit-Country.
    Look out of the window. Do you see the black van?

  14. Re:So... on Humans in America 25,000 Years Ago? · · Score: 1


    10,000 Monkeys did not produce Shakespeare. Instead they produced the 10 commandments?

    10.000 monkeys couldn't live on the top of Mount Sinai. What would they eat? And where have the typewriters come from?

  15. dammit on Microsoft Dropping Itanium Support For Clusters · · Score: 3, Funny


    Dammit, I can't blame MS for this move.
    As much as we all like MS-bashing, this action does not seem evil.

    Or, is it? (Please?)

    Has anybody just bought a big Itanium-cluster to run Windows Server 2003 Compute Cluster Edition on it?

    BTW, is the name really "Windows Server 2003 Compute Cluster Edition"? Sounds terrible...

  16. But! on Automatic Scanning for Cameras in Theaters · · Score: 3, Funny


    ...people chatter in the background, and there is invariably some big guy who takes a popcorn break right in the middle of the movie.

    But you must admit that this gives you the real cinema feeling. If there was a smell of popcorn and artificial butter it would be undistinguishable from a real cinema...

    Watermarking sounds promising.

    Watermarking? Sounds like something my dog also finds interesting.

  17. Re:argument is illogical on Defending Harsh Sentences for Spammers · · Score: 1


    I understand the logic, I merely wanted to give an example to illustrate why this logic is not valid in real life.

  18. argument is illogical on Defending Harsh Sentences for Spammers · · Score: 1


    Actually, most murderers are being caught while thieves, such as pickpockets are rarely being caught.
    According to your logic, the penalty for theft must be harder than for murder.

  19. Also consider on Defending Harsh Sentences for Spammers · · Score: 5, Funny


    Last week my neighbour's brat rang my door bell then ran away.
    I demand at least 5 years in prison as it's not the first time he did that and I'm not the only victim.

  22. Re:Sad sad day on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 2, Insightful


    this puts you in the "people who don't agree with me are idiots" camp

    Hitler was elected in a regular election. So it must have been the right choice, no?
    BTW, after his election, he made some kind of "state of emergency-laws" to protect the state against Communists (today, he would call them terrorists). These laws basically took away civil rights and gave the state more power. Does this approach sound familiar?

  23. Re:Sad sad day on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 4, Insightful


    So true. This is a sad day for billions of people in the whole world who will be affected by this election without any possibility to take part.
    Well, four more years of the rich getting richer, the middle class losing jobs, civilians all over the world and American soldiers getting killed for nothing, more hatred against Americans and less freedom in the US.
    But certainly it will be four very good years for Halliburton.

  24. good question on Japan's Newest Linux Supercluster: 13TB RAM · · Score: 1


    is this thing faster than the Big Mac?

    Interesting question. Especially considering they have roughly the same number of processors...
    But from the article I get the idea the SGI is kind of... less clustered. It seems to share its memory while on the Big Mac, each G5 computer has its "private" 4 GB of memory.

  25. undecided on Japan's Newest Linux Supercluster: 13TB RAM · · Score: 0


    running Linux on Itanium2 processors

    But isn't Itanium kinda evil (as opposed to slashdot darlings PPC/Power and Opteron)?
    While Linux is super cool? So should I like it?
