I believe the version I have is generally refered to "The ultimate hitchhikers guide to the galaxy". Black book, green text and pictures of 3 planets like they are being designed/plotted.
From the soudns of it though it won't matter soon, we'll have an influx of annoying little kids ruining the community:/
Oh I wish I had 2 more books rather then just 1 side story. I got the complete series (minus Zaphod plays it safe) for Christmas. All in 1 nice shiney book:D
Hell when I had a suspected heart attack I sat reading it waiting for the doctor in hospital:D
I figured slashdot would understand the trilogy thing.. but meh I guess people are too helpful here just incase..
Well obviously it'll suck. I just finished the trilogy myself and have fell in love with HHGG. It was a shame to even finish it..
Adams said all along he wanted to do a movie but the studio wanted him to cut up his lifes work and make it "more to there liking". Well now he's dead they've done it. Nice to see we respect authors of geek memes..
I pointed out I saw it on BBC news 24. A show called "click online", the link was to the BBC. So I skipped TFA and posted a comment. Click online protrayed it as "evil hacking turned good" and the guys they interviewed just threw around technical gargen to try and look smart ( I was only half watching, it's on at 7am when I goto bed, so I watch it while I do the last minute things).
I guess that's one way to keep people in your boarders.. set all robots to kill and go "you're now a citizen, try and leave and your plane gets targeted by the new MS-07B, good day sir".
I saw this on the news earlier. They seemed to deliver it VERY poorly. Rather than explain how "hacking" is infact "testing the system" as it came across to me, it pretty much played into the steriotype of "we break into computers".
Of course this was "Click online" which never gives you any facts, it just goes "oh look a new iPod" or "theres more security holes, work out for yourself how to avoid being owned".
So what about the p2p child porn? how does this stop that? goto ANY P2p network and you will find every porn file named.
14 yr old girl (pussy cunt wank creampie lolita underage illegal incest tits ass fuck fucked screwed)
over and over. I doubt all of these will be child porn (seems highly unlikely, but it only takes a missed click and lets face it we've all done it before and you've requested the file from someone else which means you may or may not have wanted it, but are grouns for investigation), but their file names alone are enough to get you watched and lets face it, in this modern day and age even a slight check up is enough fo fuck you over for life.
Can't fly, jobs become MUCH harder, every chance someone gets they will stop you "just incase". If you goto an innocent porn website which redirects you to one for underage girls (and yes I've seen this several times, it's distrubing but true) then you're pretty much fucked.
This software cannot tell if you wanted or got tricked to goto a place like this, or miss clicked something and in this age of "STFU you're comming with me like it or not you terrorist", this isn't a good thing to have..
Why not get a Japanese director insteaD? all the latest Transformers have been made in Japan and although they arn't fantastic they do already use alot of CGI animation, maybe it's time to push it to the next step and screw Hollywood onm this one.
I know exactly what your saying but yesterday I had a friend who had never even downloaded a program before and didn't know how.. are we ment to go and teach all these people how to do even the simplest things?
PCs are complex much like cars, you should do basic maintence and if you don't know any better then get in tech support if stuff goes wrong. This is basic maintence...
STAYING SAFE ONLINE Install anti-virus software Keep your anti-virus software up to date Install a personal firewall Use Windows updates to patch security holes Do not open e-mail messages that look suspicious Do not click on e-mail attachments you were not expecting
Wheres "Install an alternative browser and use it"? firefox cures alot of these problems with just basic knowledge of it..
"phishing" - Setting up a fake website to steal credit card numbers. Usualy done via e-mail as a "we lost your details, please.." type thing
"rogue dialler" - A virus which uses your PC torepeatedly dial a peak rate number so it costs you alot of money.
"Trojan" - A program which lets others connect to your PC with little to no effort giving them full control over it.
"spyware" - Spyware is software which monitors what you do and sends it back to a company usually. It's not dangerous but on mass it slows your PC to a crawl.
I'd put fixs but most are "get a firewall, virus scanner, spybot+adaware and firefox.". Infact that's exactly what I told a "normal PC users" yesterday:)
I have to say so? Most people don't even know what a mother board is let alone what it does. If we dumb it down to "There's an ickky virus going around which sill hurt your PC!" then it's no use to us geeks with a clue. Just leave the real explination and put "Install this to fix the problem" at the bottom of the page for the idiots.
Is it me or is this one hell of a frontpage troll? It reads likesome jock found a news story and thought he'd put the boot into us geeks.
If this is the case then please fuck off to somethingawful or whatever the hellhole is you hang out because here we're beyond judging people on how many women they have fucked or gone out with.
This isn't about freespeech. This is about slagging off a place under their own name. If I go and register Slashdot.org the second it comes up to be re-registered and turn it into "OMG IT SUCKS TACO IS A GIMP AND COWBOYNEAL IS A FAG!" then I deserve to have the URL taken off me for false advertising in the URL.
If the URL says something then it damn well better be that thing.
this maybe true in some cases but fansubs have now almost perfected really high quality videos. As good as most movie rips.
and not all groups speed sub (The ones that do tend to have a veyr limited fanbase) people who do really old series they love (stuff like Godmars, Mazinger and the REALLY old Gundam) don't need to rush so they do really good subs. Fansubbing in the last few years has changed greatly..
Oh and go buy the Zeta Gundam box set and I dare you to say it's got good subs.. It's dubtitles.. and the fanbase begged for that release for several years, then it ended up butchered..
Exactly. In alot of Gundam mecha is just there to advance the plot and to make money to continue the story (original is an example of this) where as the latest ones (everything post G) focuses more on flashy mecha then characters. But depending on which camp you talk to (Old fans or new fans) you will get different opinions on which is better or worse. Although there is some totally vile Gundam around, but theres also some amazingly good Gundam..
Theres fans who arn;t into the fad who have been round 20 years. I'm talking the current flood of "OMG YUGIOH! OMG OMG OMG!" fans. The fans CN sells to.
Good mecha is hard to come by (Original Getter robo and the original Gundam come to mind) but poor mecha is easy to come by and little kids love toy robots. So CN just keep saying and getting shows based on poor mecha rather then the good stuff, so all you see is 2D characters throwing in poor one liners and repeating each week. Theres a big difference between what CN shows and what any self respecting mecha fan would watch..
Toonami is just riding the Japanese fad right now, anyone who has access to a PC has already found fansubs and is downloading them rather then watching the poor quality dubs. Do we honestly care what a children's channel does?
How about we start seeing news on how Tech TV has started a new show based on sex, drugs and sports instead? Same thing really, anyone who cares isn't here..
They sue spammer, they win, they get awarded money.
Yea Bills in this to improve the net like he sent money to the AIDs victims because he wanted to help. It's called PR people, I suggest you think about it.

Isn't that the same type ofalien who piloted the Falcon when Solo was away? (I forget which movie now..)

Lets test it! Throw in a probe and see what happens to it's movements..
Phones also make poor anal sextoys.
