  1. Re:dupey dupe on Irish Movie Theatres Go Digital · · Score: 2, Funny

    All this dupe talk makes me wonder if they'll have digital projectors in second run cinemas.

    If those projectors are too expensive for non-chain outfits, you could have a serious divide between the digital haves and the analog have-nots.

  2. Re:Science on Imax Theaters Demur On Controversial Science Films · · Score: 1

    I also understand that businesses are in the business to make money, but it would be nice if businesses could have enough faith in what they do to stand up and be honest about it. That is unless money is your god, but if that is the case, be honest about it. The unfortunate truth is that money is the most important thing to some folks and they also know that if they revealed it, then they might lose business

    Indeed. If those fundie religious leaders lost their audience due to proper scientific education, they'd go out of business for sure.

    It'd be nice to have informants in the fundie community, so that we could organize geek groups for counter-demonstrations whenever the fundies picket non-creationist events.

  3. Re:Leeches too. on Maggots: Coming to a Hospital Near You · · Score: 1

    yea I remember a story about how leeches were used to save John Wayne Bobbitt's reattached member

  4. Countermeasures on Build Your Own Cell tower · · Score: 2, Interesting

    And just in time, as well.

    Some guy invented magnetic paint.

    Although not an intended purpose, I assume it will work just like anti-cellular wood panels.

    And it might even free you from having to wear a tinfoil hat indoors.

  5. Re:LOL... on Benioff and Weiss To Write Ender's Game Script · · Score: 4, Funny

    I heard OSC talking about this years ago... at the time, I believe he had written a script, was circulating it, wanted Jake Lloyd (Anakin) to play Ender

    As long as they get Hayden Christensen to play Ender in the sequel movie Speaker for the Dead, I have no problem with this.

  6. Re:I have a better idea on How To Talk To Aliens · · Score: 1

    not to mention that anything we pick up eventually might be copyrighted or patented by these aliens...

  7. And once they've received our message on How To Talk To Aliens · · Score: 4, Funny

    How are they going to moderate it?

    Troll? Offtopic? Flamebait? Interesting? Funny? Insightful?

    The aliens I would really like to communicate with are the more ancient ones who are going to metamoderate...

  8. Re:My suggestion on Google's Library Up and Running · · Score: 1

    My apologies... only the first 3 pages are there.

    I thought it would've been printed in full since the copyright should have expired in 2002 (70 years after the death of Charles Fort)

  9. My suggestion on Google's Library Up and Running · · Score: 1

    The Book of the Damned by Charles Fort.

  10. Have you seen my.... on Amazon Pursues Plogging Patent · · Score: 1

    ...Plog?

    I hope this word doesn't catch on... otherwise it'll cause almost as much confusion as spelling out orally the slashdot URL.

  11. The real goal on Irish Cinema Set to Go Digital First · · Score: 4, Funny

    was to stop projectionists from emulating Tyler Durden's insertion of pr0n frames into family movies.

  12. Whew on Lucas To Redo Star Wars In 3-D · · Score: 1

    Before reading TFA, I thought he was about to redo episodes 4,5,6 in 3D animation...

    What a relief.

  13. Re:On no on A Search Engine Manipulator's Tale · · Score: 1

    It's a good think you fixed the typo in:

    no disk quotas

  14. Re:Read about this on the BBC yesterday on World's First Fuel-Cell Motorcycle · · Score: 1

    uh, 23, 42 and, ummm... 5... no 3!

  15. Still no word from the pr0n industry on Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD · · Score: 5, Interesting

    From the article:
    And, as peculiar it may sound, both competitors are holding their breath to see what the pornographic industry will decide.

    That pretty much sums up the whole situation, now doesn't it?

  16. I hope they include on Joss Whedon to Write/Direct Wonder Woman · · Score: 1

    I hope they include this classic joke as a scene in the movie:

    While flying above the Hall of Justice, Superman spots Wonder Woman stark naked and lying down on her back spread-eagle on the roof. Superman thinks, 'Hey, I am Superman, I can fly down there at the speed of light, have a quickie and fly back out and she won't even feel it.'

    Superman flies down, does a quick in-out-in-out and flies back out at the speed of light.

    Wonder Woman says, 'What the hell was that?' The Invisible man says, 'I don't know but my ass is killing me!'

  17. ah HA! on date +%s Turning 1111111111 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Finally a holiday for the rest of us!

    Wear your propeller beanie and a t-shirt that says "Kiss Me I use Unix".

    There will still be his legagy of pretty cool photos though :)

  20. Re:AAAaaah on General Motor's EV1 Electric Cars Scrapped · · Score: 1

    that's an Echo sedan, I have a hatchback :P

  21. Re:AAAaaah on General Motor's EV1 Electric Cars Scrapped · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I bought an Echo for half the price of a Prius, and I only get (officially) 3 less miles per gallon than I would if I was driving a Prius.

    I have yet to see the numbers on how much comparative environmental damage is produced in making both cars, though.

  22. I wish on General Motor's EV1 Electric Cars Scrapped · · Score: 3, Funny

    I wish people would focus on real problems, like installing an artificial engine noise maker on a silent fuel-cell motorcycle.

  23. AAAaaah on General Motor's EV1 Electric Cars Scrapped · · Score: 1, Funny

    Won't somebody think of the CARS!!!

    Poor automobiles.
