    How the hell can they still be paying the layers after what is it now, 8 some odd years of loss after loss after loss.

    They're not. BSF got a lump sum of about $31 Million to handle all court cases through all appeals.

    Sorry. Hollywood wants you to pay for it.

    WE ARE YOUR ALLY! It obviously wasn't a UK conspiracy against the USA. You have plenty of enemies. Concentrate on them!

    What does being an ally have to do with it? Jonathan Pollard says hello.

  6. Re:I'm ignorant on The End of the Dr. Demento Show On Radio · · Score: 1

    Most of the Mighty Met staff gravitated to KLOS, but it's just not the same. KLOS is a Disney-owned corporate whore.

    There was no ship called Odyssey in 2001. That's the name of the movie. The ship was Discovery.

    I wonder if this supernova triggers the Great Collapsing Hrung Disaster?

  13. Re:Seriously? on Rumor of Betelgeuse's Death Greatly Exaggerated · · Score: 3, Funny

    I heard a rumor about a slashdotter who saw a picture of a guy who saw an iPad. I submitted it as a story. kdawson promised me it would be front page tomorrow.

    Only because the world will end. Otherwise the MAFIAA will get copyright extended way past that.

  17. Re:The next James Bond as well! on The Hobbit On Hold · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The funny thing is, Dalton may have been the worst film Bond, but he was probably truest to Fleming's vision of the character... world weary and burned out.

    The best film Bond, of course, is Sean Connery.

  18. Re:Doesn't Cogress have better things to discuss? on Proposed Law Would Require ID To Buy Prepaid Phones · · Score: 1

    No, you don't understand. Executives of large oil companies make large campaign contributions. Users of prepaid cellphones generally don't do that.

  19. Re:Already being done in India and South Africa on Proposed Law Would Require ID To Buy Prepaid Phones · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Except that is exactly the stated purpose of this law -- to prevent Evil Terrorists from using prepaids to coordinate attacks.

    RTFS, for goodness sake.

  20. Re:Sad on Shuttle Atlantis Lands Safely After Final Official Mission · · Score: 1

    I was going to go to Vandenberg for the first launch from there in October 1986. Then Challenger had what was "obviously a major malfunction".

  21. Re:Too bad. on Sony Unveils Flexible OLED Thinner Than a Hair · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm sure that this is cool. But...

    Sarcasm aside, I refuse to buy any Sony products either. Not because I'm afraid there's a rootkit there, but because Sony Corp. has stated via said rootkit, that they think I'm a criminal, and they don't give a shit if they damage my property.

    Given that corporate attitude, the only way I can "punish" them is by refusing to give them my money.
