Yes, I agree. What predictable garbage that ep... hell, the whole series, was.
I couldn't believe that episode was written by the Manny Coto. You know... the guy that was supposed to save the show. But what can I really expect from the guy who gave us Star Kid.
Please explain why this show is worth saving, compared to such shows as Battlestar Galactica, Farscape, and Firefly?
I'm serious. I've watched it over the last four years, and I've never seen anything more than derivative and hackneyed story telling.
This franchise is like having a sick relative, that finally dies, but instead of burying him, you prop up the corpse on the couch and everyone pretends nothing's wrong.
When he turned it on, he noticed he has 2 dead pixels, but since he bought the insurance on it, he's gonna return it for another as soon as they restock them.
My room-mate bought one that had four dead pixels. He returned it to Target, and in exchange he got one with six dead pixels. He then returned *that* one to a *different* Target, and the new one had six dead pixels as well.
Sony claims this is an acceptable amount of dead pixels. Funny how I have several LCD screens with ten times the number of pixels, and have never had a dead pixel problem on any of them... but every PSP I've seen has had several dead pixels on them.
My advice to your friend is to keep it and live with the two dead pixels ('cause he could do much worse) or return it for his money back (or sell it on ebay). I'd opt for the latter... there's no reason why this crappy quality control should be acceptable to anyone.
Sorry, didn't do this to me either. Homepage on IE is still google, and the hosts file appears to have been left alone.
So all I have to to is make an unsubstantiated post about a M$ program doing evil things to my machine and I get modded up? Oh yeah... this is Slashdot.
...will it make any money? I'm always surprized when movies as different looking as Sky Captain and Sin City get created. They look amazing, stylish, and different, and that usually equals box office failure.
Why do I care if a movie like this makes money? Cause I hope to god studios take more risks and make more like it. In the day and age of XXX, Paycheck, Tomb Raider, and hundreds of sequels, I think that would be a wonderful thing.
Call me a purist (cause I am), but that's some ugly cabinet artwork.
Can't they get someone to design art for these arcade re-issues who does something more then cutting up the old art and putting it together on the machine like a jigsaw? Maybe, I dunno, be creative and design something from scratch?
Sigh, not another reason for to complain about how McDonald's is making people fat.
When are people going to take some personal responsibility and realize McDonald's doesn't have a gun to your head, forcing you to cram Big Mac's down your gullet.
Here's a thought: stop eating fast food for every meal, and exercise every once in a while, you fat fucks.
Slashdot Mirror
Will we just keep rehashing the old (but classig and very good) series, or will new ideas and new series be able to develop?
Personally, I don't care if the show is based on a completely original idea, or a rehash of an old series, as long as the writing is good.
To be fair, this guy's job wasn't really as a model. He performed an on stage fight sequence.

Gamestop doesn't do that, for whatever (presumably political) reasons.
Lousy Democrats....
Now maybe these "Save Enterprise" news posts on Slashdot will finally come to an end. God... you'd think the show was good or something.

I just know this is gonna' be +357 better than the next Sony console.

I think this means he's still planning on making more of them.
God help us all.
Whatever happened to rehabilitation?
You're right. We really need to teach murderers better "people skills."

Damn it, where's the "no sense of humor" mod option?

Still $0.25 to play, or have they sold out and are now askign for $0.50?
The price is whatever the operator chooses to set it at.
Exactly. I'd give you mod points if I had em :)
From "Family First's Policy Statement on Internet Pornography and Children":
... say they have deliberately sought out sex sites on the Internet.
- 38% of boys
- Around 4-5% of boys identify as frequent (weekly) users of pornography.
These numbers seem extremely low. Based on this alone, I'm not we can trust anything in their literature.
Hunh, that's odd, I always assumed all German games were required to have some sort of pain element.

Wow. Best post I've read on slashdot in quite a while. Thanks.
I would think making a system out of green Jello and suspending the hardware inside would be problematic.
Without Microsoft we wouldn't have posts asking what the world would be like without Microsoft.
Aren't there enough articles about Microsoft on Slashdot? Do we really need to delve into the hypothetical?
Through interviews with Walkman owners and now iPod buyers, he found that listening to music acts as a shield, aura or cocoon.
These must have been difficult interviews to get:
"Sir... uh... sir? Would you like to participate... sir? Can you hear me? Sir?!"

I know I hate it when someone damages me in my millions of dollars.
