    This is Slashdot. You were alone in the shower, and whatever you were doing I don't want to think about.

    "Hackers" was about computers?!

    No that's just a myth started by the same people who thought Smallville was about Superman.

    Why is it that I get the feeling that this version would focus on Kiera Knightly and not be work safe?

    Because that's the only way you could redeem that movie.

    "Most people assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey....stuff"

    That's why your not making sense of it.

    Actually Catherine Tate is a rather talented character actress who has her own comedy show. I don't think she is especially like her character in Doctor Who, at least not in the interviews that I've seen.

    TV is a horrible method of judging someones character. If I want to know what someone is really like I talk to their Black Jack dealer.

    There's four places. There's the Hammock Hut, that's on third. There's Hammocks-R-Us, that's on third too. You got Put-Your-Butt-There that's on third. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot... Matter of fact, they're all in the same complex; it's the hammock complex on third.in the hammock district!

    All you need to do is walk in and say:

    "Are you working?"
    "yes"
    "Can you work harder?"
    "good"

    If they get tired buy them hammocks.
    It helps if your wearing a Tom Landrey hat.

    So when a non technical person incorrectly refers to a Watt as a quantity and not a rate, cut them some slack - it's invariably because US education system has gone to complete shit.

    It also means the english language is just sad.

    this article was written by a self-aware PC who is tired of the human race's waste of time and energy.
