  1. Re:Written just for us.. on Mystery Science Theater Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    This has been really fun... You know we were talking about a TV show, right? America just elected a black man to the office of President and so far he has received over 500 death threats... Yeah, somehow he's still way more mellow than you.

    Rethink your definition of personal attack, and while you're at it rethink your priorities as a human being, k?

    This started as funny, but that last comment turned my stomach. I'm out.

    How fucking impossible is it to believe that I legitimately enjoy it

    Really? Two comments and you're dropping the f-bomb and <i>'s about a TV show on a Slashdot story about a different TV show? Listen, it's gonna be ok! Go outside and enjoy the real world. You gotta chill the fuck out man! You got shotgun and killing spree written all over your future, dude...

    Wow.

    ..but seriously, new Futurama totally sucks.

    Bender's Big Score and Bender's Game were classic material

    Bender's Big Score REFERENCED a lot of classic material... big difference, haven't seen BBG yet, not the superfan you are i guess...

    Sorry for being so argumentative... www.bringbackfuturama.com is a really nice site and you must have put a lot of work into it. I can understand why you need to believe.

    Futurama is still funny...

    ...and Dave Matthews TOTALLY Rocks... I'm with you dude!

    oh, and Indy 4... Well that's just a story that HAD to be told!

    Yeah... i'm not usually confrontational, but you're gonna need to open your doe eyes and let in some harsh reality... World hoarding stereotypical jews and bisexual tentacle monsters are just hollow reminders of Jurassic Bark and Godfellas. Most of us would agree you can tell the difference between passion for the writing and "wow you mean i can still get a check for that?"

  5. Re:HBO? on Mystery Science Theater Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    I remember a show called "Mad Movies with the LA Connection" - they did lip sync to old movies and inserted the most absurdly hilarious stories that would mesh with whatever happened in the movie... Picture Casablanca being the story of two people booking a vacation to Atlantic City... That was lol funny, but i was 15 so it has probably lost most of its luster..

  6. Written just for us.. on Mystery Science Theater Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    Looks like Cinematic Titanic is still bringing the can't help but laugh out loud funny... Favorite clip in the trailers is when they cut to a shot of one of those giant '50's control panel and a voice says "Now THERE's a switch!"

    MST3K.. What a perfect blend of the stupidest and most esoteric humor... like Futurama back when IT was funny.

  7. Not a pornographer, HA! on Court Strikes Down Age Verification For Adult Sites · · Score: 1

    Dude, you TAKE PICTURES OF NAKED PEOPLE FOR FUN

    You will be forever spoken of in Slashdot lore as "that porno guy", and constantly receive comments asking what real naked women look like.

    Actually, as far as I know this is the first proof of a Slashdotter even seeing a naked person. I mean, I know a ton of users have kids, but I just assumed they all had their eyes closed or blacked out during the whole process...

  8. Re:Well how long will it last? on iPhone Battery Replacement An Unwelcome Surprise · · Score: 1

    My current phone is almost 2 years old and the battery is just fine.
    I have to say that this is just DUMB. Sorry Apple but you don't understand the cell phone market.
    Maybe Apple is marketing specifically to you, and the rest of the cell phone market be damned.

  9. It's doomed on iPhone Battery Replacement An Unwelcome Surprise · · Score: 1

    A cost of 1/6 the value of the phone! Combined with the fact that half of the people that respond to engadget polls about "are you having trouble activating your iphone" are having activation trouble, I'm surprised they were able to sell the first million in under a week. This thing's doomed. I'd better sell off my stock in case it doesn't double in the next six months.

    It's cute, though, how an editor tried to post a negative iPhone article. It should have had the title "iPhone..." and the text could have been "Rabble... rabble rabble rabble!"

  10. Re:Flawed... even down to the analogy. God? on Perpetual Energy Machine Getting Lots of Attention · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, the word "atheist" is like the the word "ethnic", but I doubt many atheists can tell you if they're weak/strong implicit/explicit, or really agnostics who don't know how to use a dictionary...

  11. Oh, how we forget we're geeks... on iPhone's "Mystery App" Is H.264 YouTube · · Score: 1

    This thing would have been "big" if it was just a widescreen iPod

    It would have been "huge" if it was an ipod and phone with visual voicemail

    We rip it apart continuously because the internet's "not technically the whole, entire internet" and it won't be a business class device. If we were a little less geek and a little more MBA, we'd all be saying things like "fantastic how this device positions in the initial market, rev 2 and the other family members will increase sales by X%!"

  12. Re:Bye-bye Red Hat on Red Hat Rejects Microsoft Deals · · Score: 1

    Hey, I saw you at the Office 2007 feature unveiling, weren't the muffins great! I tell you what, I can't believe they let us try Office 2007 FOR FREE! FOR 30 WHOLE DAYS! ONLY A WEEK AFTER IT WAS RELEASED! Yeah, Microsoft's great *sigh*.

    Anyway, I'm still fuming that you got that last mousepad that said "THE WOW STARTS NOW!", that would have looked sweet next to my Dell Rig at work.

    Gotta go now, my buddy just squirted me some screenshots of the Windows Server 2008 Beta on my Zune! (Brown rules)

  16. 100% wrong on Speed of Light Exceeded? · · Score: 1

    The group velocity is metadata, and I can totally search for it with Spotlight or Pixvue or something. Since I'm a Mac Fanboy, I know that spotlight indexes everything "instantaneously", ergo, that "information" got to me faster than light itself. The rest of your argument falls apart like a house of cards...

    Checkmate.

    Desktop Manager is a fantastic tool that's available now.

  18. The perspective version exists.... on Measure Anything with a Camera and Software · · Score: 1

    I swear I remember reading an article about kitchen design software that placed a stick of known length in the picture (at an angle to give it depth). I think they took a few pictures from different angles or something so the software could understand "depth".

    Why don't you get to work finding the reference for me, or if you can't just rewrite the software. Thanks.

    Is it funny that they're touring the country to show you how great electric vehicles are by towing them in a trailer with an SUV?

    I guess middle America is too crappy to stop and charge the thing.

    What's to stop you from using a $20 usb to wi-fi adapter until wifi is included in the device? I'd duct tape one to the back for the extra functionality...

  25. The geeks will never get it... on iPhone Roundup · · Score: 1

    All I ever see is arguments about how it's crippled, and it could do more.

    IT'S NOT THAT DEVICE!

    It's a slick liitle gadget that lets you talk on the phone and listen to blink182. Steve-o isn't trying to sell the ultimate geek toy, he's trying to sell another piece of crap to people that think their iPod should be replaced because it's more than 3 months old.

    It's hella easy to armchair quarterback and say "but it could blah to my blah blah if only blah and blah was opened up". But IT'S NOT, AND WILL NEVER BE THAT DREAM DEVICE FOR GEEKS, it's that other device for wanna-geeks.

    And realy, wait around for rev B, cause I'm sure they'll hear that huge market segment that's screaming "I want to SSH into my Debian box from the comic book store so I can retreive the ODF list of Sandman (Vertigo) titles, then hack a custom app that retrieves current market value." Really huge market there waiting to be tapped.
