"They are only what, $400. For the six months and bothering some unknown pyramid amount of people you could have simply saved $67 a month and just bought the thing. Poor people suck. Go ask Kenny."
You know, your comment about the free credit reports being a scam made me think you might just be misinformed, since the federal government has mandated you are entitled to one completely free credit report annually.
However, it was the quoted statement that made me believe you were either a troll or flamebait. $400 may not be a lot to you, but you are in no position to speak for everybody else. As a college student, the only reason I have an ipod is because my school gave me one for free. Yeah, shame on me for being a poor college student, why can't I spend all my non-existent free time working.
Poor people don't suck, they're just less fortunate than you financially.
Now, I'm not saying I appreciate the free ipod crap any more than you do, I'm just saying that you have a piss poor attitude, and a complete misunderstanding of the facts behind the points you made.
I would be curious to see a comparison of profits on games and net profit for your studio vs EA. You see, while you may not have to work as hard, I'll bet they get games out faster, and that equals more dollars for them.
Enough about Lucas please. We all wish he would stop, but he won't. Bitching on Slashdot doesn't solve anything other than wasting peoples mod points who need to mod you redundant.
Anybody care to comment on this new 3D technology? How exactly is it different from the old one? How realistic will it look? Any possibility of seeing it on home computers anytime soon?
Um.....because they wouldn't have been able to get an interview with him EVER if they called him what he really was and were more critical. Would YOU go get interviewed by Wired if you knew they were just going to attack you?
So.....I was wondering if there are any particle physicists around that can explain what the implications of this for us wizards and sorcerors are. Is this cheaper than making a wand of fireballs? Will this enable us to cast fireball before 5th level? Will the damage dice we get to roll?
Why did I half-hope that would read "Pentium M Goes SSJ"?
I can just imagine it turning bright yellow and crackling with electricity. Actually...thats what happened when I spilled orange juice on my processor one time...that's not so cool.
As someone in advertising, I have to say that it was pretty obvious a while ago that this was an intentional leak. What I'm absolutely shocked at though is that the agency doing the viral marketing for them is willing to say anything AT ALL about it.
Most of those companies are hesitant to even release their client roster for fear of giving things like this away. I hope the BBC bitches them out for this.
I wonder if you can possibly make it so you could rewet it and collapse it again for reuse. Then in order to keep it dry while erect, you can cover it with a tarp or something.
Also, I wonder if there are some possibilities for using this process to aid in offworld habitat construction like on mars. This could save a lot of space on a shuttle.
I love watching Japanese programs as well, but am unable to find much aside from anime and some major japanese movies. I'd love to watch some subbed dramas and historical programs and news broadcasts though. Can you possibly post some tracker URLs for this stuff?
I disagree about the aesthetically challenged part. I don't think it is so important to have models for actors for every role. Why can't some people be ugly or *gasp* average looking? British television uses a lot of average looking cast members, and it makes the shows more believeable.
Um, while those are all important parts, they do not address the fact that a few of the actors *cough*lady in red*cough* were just HORRIBLE.
I think they did a beautiful job on the effects (specially the ATSTs walking) but at least the people in ep. I and II could ACT (not that they were given the best script, but still). I didn't feel anything from these people.
That said, this still looks better than I and II, and probably III.
If you had made a joke about colorized movies that would be fine. But you didn't, bitched and moaned about how this is going to ruin black and white films. One of those would have been funny. Here's a hint, it wasn't the one you used.
This is nothing more than a glorified press release from Sony. They are partners with Filefront, and the entire purpose of this is to make Sony look cool, make it look like they care about their players, and to push their new expansion.
Is there any OSS applications out there that are similar? This would be a really cool Sourceforge project.
Also, does anybody happen to know if a similar technique was used for the new Tom Cruise movie coming out? You know, the one that kinda looks like Waking Life in style?
"Now it's even easier for corporations re-releasing films to completely destroy the original beauty of a film by adding unnatural and unnecessary color!
Coming soon, new dubbing techniques will allow easy substitution of the original actors' voices and dialogue with trite teen-angst to appeal to younger generations."
Oh come off it you load of flamebait. Nobody is threatening your precious black and white films. If people want to watch the originals, they will. If they want to watch a new colorized version, they will. And you are not the one to judge which is the best. I happen to absolutely HATE dubbed anime (your second example), yet I think its the coolest thing in the world that we are starting to see FAN-dubs popping up. Fans now have the power to do things that used to require major studios. How can you fail to see the coolness of the technology in that?
But I guess your post had absolutely nothing to do with the article at hand, and everything to do with trying to be an elitist movie prick who tries to impose his views on others.
I think you hit the nail on the head about living vicariously.
You see, thanks to all the recent advances in media technology, we are able to experience the lives of other people in ways unimagineable a century ago.
If life is about growing, learning, and experiencing, what better way than to peek in on the lives of others and learn from what they go through?
This is doubly true for those of us who may not be that social and may not leave the house very often. I'm not trying to pass judgement on those people, i'm just saying that if it helps make someones life interesting to look at the life of another, what is so wrong with that?
You know, I've seen all these tools come out that will be a great boon to the home movie producer. This seems like the next step to letting them use more CG in their movies. As that improves, the limits on what home movie producers can create will be as big as their imagination.
The difference between Valles Marineris and Tuscon is that they are considering TERRAFORMING it, not just finding a grass that will grow there. If you terraform it, you can tweak the weather to be what you'd like.
Of course, terraforming is as of yet still in the realm of science fiction, and the day we can terraform another planet will be the day we can terraform ours, which will bring quite a few significant questions to the table about weather control.

Maybe this withdrawl is in part because thanks to TV, IT is no longer the sexy job it once was. These days everybody who's looking for a glamourous, wellpaying career becomes criminal investigators, or medical investigators, or whatever else is not on TV. The shows doll everybody up, make it look WAY more fun and exciting than it is, and then people try to get into that industry just following the crowd.
What a shame it is that this floods the market for the people who are really there because of their interest in the field.

Right, cuz thats what made deckers so cool....they were just like D&D wizards. BZZZT! WRONG!
Shadowrun == D&D. And its players like it because of that.
