  1. Re:Woohoo! About time! on Indiana Jones To Arrive Again in 2005 · · Score: 5, Interesting


    Well, actually the plot is a closely guarded secret at this point, and I am glad.

    Sean Connery will be in it as Indiana's Father again and the movie is being set in the 1950's to account for Harrison's aged real life look which cannot be entirely hidden on camera.

    I believe they are having the women of his life make cameo's and such, though Karen Allen is the only one that I'd personally like to see in it as Spielberg's wife (Kate Capshaw) just annoys the hell out of me! :)

    Anyway, my prediction is this: (and this is entirely me guessing, but I am putting it down here now as proof that I said it before the plot was learned)

    Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (yes, like the original PC game that came out years ago)

    Why do I predict this? Because Atlantis as a real location still fascinates people around the world today, in fact I was watching Discovery Channel the other night about people that are currently looking for it and clues they have found and such. I mean, let's face it, he's found the most prized Biblical Artifacts already, it's time for him to find something bigger. :)


    I guess in the end only time will tell but I thought that I would give you that tidbit at the top about who will be who and why the movie is being set in the 1950's.


    P.S.
    For all your Indiana Jones Fans out there, in case you missed it (as I am sure most have) in the The Temple of Doom, when Harrison jumps out of the hotel at the beginning with Kate Capshaw and they fall into the car and drive past the entrance to the club that they just ran from, well, the big hidden George Lucas "Easter Egg" is the club is named "Club Obi Wan" (from Star Wars yet had an oriental ring to it) :)
    Cheers!

    You know what I can't stand about posts like yours? Is the incredibly lame mockery of an attempt to 'creat' a racial class.

    I am an American, end of story. My ancestors might have descended from somewhere else, but then again most of us do. What tf is this "African-American" crap? I say if you are African, get on the boat and get moving and if you're American sit down and shut your pie hole.

    We in America don't owe anyone anything because of slavery that happened 300 years ago. Gimme a break and let it go already. I mean, the upside is if it wasn't for all that slavery they'd have all lived and died in some God forsaken country in Africa and would never have made it to the U.S. let alone any of their descendents.

    Just my 2 cents on an issue that has been beaten to death over the last 300 years and how a particular race keeps itself in the spotlight by pointing out how they are different from everyone else and then gets mad and cries 'racism' when they are treated differently *boggle*.

    Well Aliencow, how about you thrall us all with your acumen then. . .I'm all ears.

    I see this listed as a 'Comment' section, and anything or everything I said is 'my comments' on the subject at hand.

    If you don't like what other people post, I see a few alternatives for you:
    1. Stop reading slashdot.org 2. Stop reading the user comments 3. Stop whining when someone wants to chip in 2 cents

    Maybe some people don't read or reply to every story that gets posted all day long, and while I am in the window of time that I can read and post I am taking the opportunity to post some of my thoughts and like to hear what others have to say regarding any given issue.

    You have a few issues of your own to work out, get some Prozac and relax, life is too short to be so hostile over what amounts to absolutely NOTHING...

    ...some support being given to the Linux community. I am not going to debate the Windows vs. Linux issue, however, I do want to say that my personal feeling is that Linux could easily overpower the Windows domination if there were just more variations of games and applications available.

    Unfortunately some of the more prominent applications that people use are Microsoft applications (i.e. ms word, excel, outlook, etc) and will not likely see the light of day for any Linux porting since this would only contribute to the Windows demise.

    Will be very interesting to see what the future holds and how the market might react/shift to alternatives such as Linux or even BSD.

    ...to the consumer. The Bell system for all its splendor has been sticking it to us for YEARS. I mean, take touch tone service. For years they charged an additional 'fee' for this service, when in all actuality it was cheaper for them to implement and maintain.

    Also, the Bell system invented DSL back in the last 70's but didn't pursue it because of their own short-sightedness. Then it comes to pass that when the Internet boom took off and the Bell companies were left out in the cold, suddenly they wanted to 'charge' fees each time someone dialed-up an ISP phone number. Luckily the count system told the Bells to suck it. The Bell system claimed it was putting more burden on their system, which might very well be the case, however, they also stuck it to the consumer for YEARS with this 'unlimited local calls' for one rate when they had done studies way back in the day to determine that the average customer makes/receives 6 calls a day with the average call being 4.2 minutes. Now that customers are using MORE of their unlimited service the phone company is crying the blues...

    Let them reap what they've sewn all these years :)

  17. These kinds of studies... on NASA Satellite Measures Earth's Carbon Metabolism · · Score: 5, Interesting


    ...are really important IMHO. Studying the carbon dioxide levels of any system is important because with the talks about someday inhabiting other planets like Mars, one of our first objectives would be getting greenhouse gases into the planet's atmosphere and then waiting many years for the planet to warm up enough to be inhabitable, both from a temperature standpoint and melting the ice caps at the poles (speaking of Mars of course).

    I am glad to see some useful studies being done. Once a planet warms up enough with green house gases, we can get some plant life on the planet to assist in the creation of oxygen through this same cycle and eventually make a planet liveable. Though it's not something we'll see in our lifetimes, studies such as these benefit the species as a whole in the long run (i.e. big picture of time).
