Is it just me or did this read like they were fobbing everyone off? Look we've seen the damn film previews, we've seen the reviews. We'll see the movie in a few days. Stop giving us 10 second quotes over and over or just going "well this one time.." and leading away from the question.
The film is going to bomb for everyone EXCEPT 5 year olds. Fans will be annoyed with it and the highlight will probably be the theme song.
Hell I got a question in the damn interview and it still annoyed me. -.-
Why do all people in software seem to fall into one of two sides?
"Open source is best, paying for software is dumb and evil!"
"Open source is for idiots, you'll live with your mothers till they die then you're on the street. Make money or get out"
Whatever happened to "every hole has a peice to fit it, some peices require different tasks to get them. Some require money, others require some code". It's no wonder MS is calling people communists, it's exactly the same pathetic ideals which no one wishs to adapt to the world.

Google Upgrades AdSense

Which then take longer to load. Take more time and become animated, then flash, then pop up..
It doesn't work. The only reasonpeople accept google ads is because they are like 1-2k each and they don't have flashy pictures or crap.
I have no problem with that. They just need to improve a little. A good example would be an e-mail to a friend where for 2-3 e-mails we were talking about a milk allergy we both have. Now to me the most logical advert for that is "Lactose free" things. But instead I got loas of adds going "try our super fantastical milk drink you can't drink yay!".
I don't mind targeted ads because if google really want to read my e-mail I can't stop them.I'd rather a script which doesn't remember them check through them quickly then some guy who was just hired off the street.
It's to "get you to watch next week".. it's common pretty much every where including the UK now. Personally I'd rather they just showed the episode title and left it at that.
Then again watch any TV show here and Billie Piper will pop up sooner or later and spoil the next episode for you.
pfft the last 2 episodes had blue lights man! Thats like.. blue!
You have a point, it does have that feel but so does most modern Sci fi. The problem is they keep trying to use Earth settings because "It's scarier" when really it's much easier to use human characters then do a full cast of aliens which costs money.

Daleks Return to Dr Who
·
· Score: 3, Funny
The new series isn't like that saddly. It's damn obvious from the get go whats happening and just needs Rose to discover it basicly.
The last 2 weeks episodes were quite frankly dire and maybe thats why the Dalek one is next.Go from "look farting fat bastards" to "look shiny like a spoon!"
The preview made it look rather lame in all honesty. It seems to be in a giant muesum which looks very similar to a bunker complex. Theres loads of soldiers shooting at it in one scene and the bullets just vanish midair. It zaps a few people and then turns and zaps some more.. it really does look rather tame now.
The flying wasn't that impressive either, it just sorts of floats upwards, nothing THAT impressive.
I mean we live in an era where you can fire 10 shots a second if not more yet we're afraid of something which fires about 1 shot every 10 seconds?
Plus the doctor has his magic screw driver, he can screw it over with that alone.
So what if some study says you can be healthy at "X weight". It doesn't matter. If you're happy with your body then your happy, end of story. If you arn't start eating fruit instead of snack food (and dont eat for the sake of it, eat when your hungry, you'll be surprized how little that is). Then walk the damn dog for 10-20 minutes a day. Thats a walk int he park or across a field. I've been doing this got 6 months and I've lost 4 stone (google it to work out your measurements). It's fucking easy if you just try.
If you watched Gundam SEED Destiny it would all make sense.
and I don't care if people get me or not. Everyone who complains seems to be new at Slashdot. If you don't like what I say mark me as a foe and ignore any foe posts. Not a huge problem is it?
So now the "mainstream" are catching on how long untill we see spy/mal-ware using it? Sooner or later some dickhead is going to figure out a way to abuse it. Hell all they'd have to do is set a script hidden away to run it automatically whenever it's "deleted" and then no matter how many times you delete the damn stuff through your favourite spyware remover it'll come back.
"Connect all the power cables and take a sampling of your temperature sensor on your hard drive, using tools such as SMART software. You should notice a dramatic change in temperature such that other cooling methods will no longer be necessary."
I DARE YOU TO TRY IT! Your HD won't last 5 seconds without the fan you've just attached which would GASP be doing the cooling unlike a little bit of metal..
A few DVDs is different to being polite. If someone comes tot he house to repair something I'll always offer them a cup of tea and a biscuit. Same for the cops when they came here a few months ago (not relating to myself). These guys have a hard job and being polite to them isn't going to make you a favourite at all. Where as giving them free swag will.
Tea/coffe/snack/whatever = fine Goods/services/favours = no
I suggest you check the difference between being polite and a bribe. Unless you're a little kid theres a big differencr.
We know they are guilty. It's fucking obviously so why "wait". Theres no smoke without fire and you can look at any major company you want and there is always smoke.
MS, Apple, MPAA, RIAA and hundreds of others now having to compete with the internet. The internet is seen as "the wild west", the general people don't care and us geeks are in the minority with no money. So they do whatever they wish with the money they have and if they get caught who really cares but their lawyers who just wants the cash?
The wolf reveals it's true colours. Now do the same to the RIAA and throw all their court cases out untill further investigate (which will lead to price fixing and various other crimes being "discovered"). And since it's been proven that this companies buy people off it'll be impossible to buy off the judge/jury because people wille xpect it and if it seems fishy it'll be looked into.
Good game gentleman. You lose this round and hopefully won't come back.
so your kid repeats stuff you say and plays games..?
Well fuck me so does every other 4 year old I know. I knew a kid at 4 who could hammer me in Tekken at 12. Impressive? not really he just learnt to do what I did but did it better.
Sorry to say but your kid ISN'T smart and ISN'T special. He's a normal 4 year old and learns words and where to click things
People are people, no matter what colour they are, who they fuck or what they jerk off to. If no one gets hurt by it then who gives a fuck what people do? Get the fuck over yourself and get it into your head that NO ONE GIVES A FUCK about what you think. We're tired of fighting pro-gay/anti whatever bullshit. You fuck off and look after yourself and we fuck off and look after ourselvs and no one has a problem any more.

One little typo and "Okay, so that means you owe me.... 10,000,000 pounds" becomes "Okay, so that means you owe me.... 19,000,000 pounds"

This is a lie. The article is clearly wrong.
"Connect all the power cables and take a sampling of your temperature sensor on your hard drive, using tools such as SMART software. You should notice a dramatic change in temperature such that other cooling methods will no longer be necessary."

Real goods I'd say is the line.
Offering a cup of tea or a slice of cake = no problem. You're being polite
Offering anything with a value above a light snack = bribe IMO.
"Are you sure you don't want to have a drink or a peice of cake?" = acceptable
"Here having some DVDs, a bag of money with a $ sign on it and a new diamond plated watch" = bribe
A few DVDs is different to being polite. If someone comes tot he house to repair something I'll always offer them a cup of tea and a biscuit. Same for the cops when they came here a few months ago (not relating to myself). These guys have a hard job and being polite to them isn't going to make you a favourite at all.

. Read some of the horror stories out there about how women abducted by those in the sex trade are programmed some time.
Any chance of a link? Seems an intresting read, you so rarely hear whats really behind all "this evil sex traffic"
Lets look on the bright side. At least we can point and laugh at Zaphod for looking like such a twat in his hat.
Plus pop corn tastes nice... God I'm going to hate Thursday.. Ironic the movie comes out here on a Thursday...
Or Microsoft wants to be able to go "hey why switch to Linux, you can do the same thing on Windows, whats up with you silly commie?"
