Seriously. When are people going to stop listening to these windbags. This is particularly true for movies where one sees one flick as the best movie ever made while someone else sees it as a steeping pile of crap. Movie reviews are so subjective. This is why I don't browse Rottentomatoes.com anymore. First off - as already alluded it - is is so subjective and secondly I think that most critics are self-important bastards. I actually prefer imdb.com because with that at least those reviews are written by everyday people who do not have a thesaurus next them like rottentomato movie critics to make themselves sound more important then they really are.
Can you please provide specific examples of how it has gotten out of control? Inquiring minds want to know, because, I for one, just don't see it and I think supported evidence just might change my mind.
Each website has its own specific qualities that make it good and bad. For instance, I like Digg because it is updated more frequently than Slashdot (see diggvsdot), but apparently "these updates" maybe too frequent (i.e. stories deleted). I think Slashdot has better comments. I cannot stand Digg comments. Digg comments are the same type of comments that Fark has... people talking about stuff they have no clue of. At least with Slashdot, most of the comments are made by informed people.
Okay, lets see how many comments there are saying "This is not funny". Relax. Wash your face. Apply a Biore strip. Put some cucumbers over your eyes. Breath in the good, exhale the bad. Everything will be alright.
Um, last time I checked water is pretty viscous. No, you're answer is wrong. Hurricanes derive their energy from latent heat via condensation. Nothing to do with how viscous water is.
Here's a thought Hollywood, stop making movies about gay cowboys and pimps. Get real writers and try making a quality movie or at the very least a movie about topics that people give a shit about.
Please. This sentence is hypocritical and trollish. Brokeback Mountain is a good movie with a good script. No, tell Hollywood to stop producing movies like "Date Movie" or "Hostel". People don't know a good movie if presented right in front of them. No, they are just obsessed if it has two homosexuals rather than a guy burning an asians womens eye out.
I seem to recall an article on Slashdot yesterday about the death of science in America. This does not help, particularly from a notorious research facility like MIT. This gives the gives the creationists more fire for their faux-arguments about how science is unbelievable and other garbage relating to Intelligent Design.

I can attest to this. SBC majorly sucks on toast. Just initiating for them to turn on the telephone service for the first time(translation: click "OK" at the call center) costs $50.
I am offering my services to NASA. As a true geek (obvious by reading Slashdot at 8:30Z) I would stick to the pure sciences of the mission and clearly state now that I not interested in sex by any means. Who needs sex when you have zero gravity anywho!

Here is my question... When is the gaming industry going to start introducing original games and not producing sequels just for the sake of production and/or profit? Take Doom 3 for example... yes the graphics are creative and great (that is when you can see them and you're not in the dark) but it is more-or-less the same game as Doom. I'd rather play something new even rather than rehash the same plot outline in a sequel.
Not all games that will be eventually made into a movie or vice versa suck. Another example of this is Resident Evil (or Biohazard in Japan). All the games, those before and after the 2 movie productions, are considerably better than the 2 movies that were released. But yes, I have seen *generally speaking* that sometimes movies based off video games tend to be less enjoyable than the other way around.
Zotob is affecting more than Windows machines. Case and point, the network is really slow (via the Windows garbage) which is making Slashdot load slow for me and I am running Solaris. Grr.
Yes they did. They found that it landed butter-side down because when one applies butter on the bread, they make a parabolic indentation, therefore, changing the aerodynamics of the toast.
You must be new to Slashdot, hence "stuff that matters" like getting Linux to run on plastic lunch trays or pieces of lint matted down in my gym bag. It matters.

Yeah, I've noticed program changes with Adult Swim. Someone tell me why they are showing "Saved by the Bell" on Adult Swim?

Such as what? Apparently you have been censored while you were typing your post.
You still have an oily T zone.

39K/yr is not poor. Check yourself. Thats well above the average American salary.

For a troll you certainly know a lot about the gay community, stereotypes or not...
Gay Marriage? Check.
Abba? Check.
Pet Shop Boys? Check.
Bette Midler? Check.
iPod? Check.
Yes, I like all those. But you forgot:
Cher.
Madonna.
Dorris Day.
The Golden Girls.
Goldie Hawn.
and Susan Surandon...
So maybe this is not really a troll for homophobia but a troll for not completing the list. How dare you young man!
