one of the reasons the tv show didn't go well is that it was played in a confusing order. the show has a logical flow which the dvds are shown in... but on tv it was all mixed around.
Don't worry, fans of Firefly will not be dissapointed. The first 30 minutes of the show will be played last, while the last 30 minutes will be played first. And they'll throw in some commercials, and announcements for other movies at the bottom of the screen halfway through the movie. Just so it feels like the television show, for us purists out there. Yeah baby!
I'm in a building with no cable or satellite, the wrong side of the hill for digital in a small backwater in the south west of England. Never seen the show, but I've heard of Lost.
And I'm in Austalia and even I have heard of Lost.
I popped into the library on one of my regular trips, actually found the book and read through it (though I didn't walk off with it!)....I didn't act on that instinct, and boy do I feel dumb. The next day it walked away =(
ladida. Waiting for my 2minutes. Doo, doo, doo. Oh crap. Only been 46 seconds. Shet. Doo, doo, doo. 1 minute now. ding, dong, ding dong. I guess the President is going to surrender to Microsoft eh? Shit, how long does 2 minutes take to pass?
One of these days they're going to invent something, and they'll call it a backspace key. It will allow computer users to delete what they've already typed, without having to type ^W or ^H
I'm not sure why we haven't seen this become a mainstream solution yet,
The religious right of course. There is NO way they're going to allow organ transplants from aborted foetuses (unless the feotus doesn't need to be human. Now there's an idea. Genetically modify animal X to have human Islet cells).
When is the new Nintendo system coming out? Before the next E3? If not, then I'd say they don't want to become old-hat before it does come out. They'll let Microsoft and Sony demonstrate all of their new features that will be seen as "older" when E3 comes around next year when Nintendo announces their new features.
Nintendo can also concentrate on their Online component (which would be ignored even more if the new system was unveiled).
The "stealing our ideas" is just PR bullshit.
Having said that, if the systems are to be released before the next E3, I can see this as being a BIG mistake.
but the DS is a mediocre underperforming gimmick. Both sides did rather poorly in this battle, I think.
I agree. The PSP didn't have anything to catch my attention, but the DS has been dissapointing. I think Gabe/Tycho said it best at Penny Arcade when he said "The DS doesn't have any games, just some tech demos."
The DS could be good and new, but I've yet to see a game take advantage of the new features in a meaningful way.

Dude, it's ten years old. What do you expect? Of course there is going to be problems.

I hate Buffy, couldn't stand Angel, loved Firefly. I'd hardly call me a "fan with undying loyalty."
Yeah, it was a western, but it was a good western. This coming from someone who hates westerns.
Though it DOES depress me that it took so long.-_-
;)
What do you mean took so long? I posted in the same minute as the first post! I'd hardly call that "long"
it is not only immune from viruses, it stops them too!
It's virii damnit! Not viruses.
All this says is "REALLY fat people are more unhealthy then fat people." Well duh. We already knew that one. Sheeesh.
No, no, no. They'd make the world's largest model of the world's smallest joint. Sheeesh.

You should feel dumb.
About GOP loving private businesses
You mean they DON'T love private business? Perhaps someone should tell the GOP that?
Slashdot hates the STRIKE tag.

OMG, what do blind people do with having to sign their name?

Thief: Errr.... I have a cold. Yeah, that's it. A cold.
No, you don't have to delete it. Just don't login. Duh.
Safari likes to cache searches too
As does firefox and internet explorer. Real browsers let you empty your search cache (which safari may, I don't use a mac).

Alright, turn in your Australian citizenship. If you love them kiwi's so much you can go live over there :P

I don't expect strider to be offended by this
No, no. I meant if this is the last E3 before Nintendo releases their console, they've made a mistake.

By putting a pure free market on farming, you encourage farmers to produce as much as they can.
sell. As much as they can sell. I have difficulty believing every farmer will be able to sell their entire produce in one year.
prepare for the armageddon (not the movie!).
How about the game
