  1. Re:Thanks a lot, Morpheus. on In-Depth Look At Matrix Previews · · Score: 2

    See, that would be a great ending. Have a huge struggle for the "rebels", and in the last minute of the show, the reveal that it was just another scenario, to keep the people pumping juice. aka 'blue skies on mars'...

  2. Re:Thanks a lot, Morpheus. on In-Depth Look At Matrix Previews · · Score: 2

    I, for one, think that if you find an entire race of people hooked up to a machine for the entirety of their lives, thinking that is living, and a good way to spend their existence, then that entire race of people needs a boot up its ass.

    So where do i send the list of MMORPG players? After that, we will get around to the habitual slashdot readers...

  3. Re:85 ideas and some gross mistakes on 85 Big Ideas that Changed the World · · Score: 2

    Americans aren't in touch with reality, which is why they have reality TV...

  4. Re:No James Cameron == bad movie on Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines · · Score: 2

    The game was a great movie, with a wicked, original concept, but with a stupid, stupid ending!

    And the minor fact that he is not an actor.

  6. Re:Best thing for a geek... on Geek Christmas Gift Ideas · · Score: 2

    Just one idea, but you get the picture.

    Surely you saw this? Anyway, a damn good idea, but personally i don't buy presents or accept presents from anyone over 13 years or age. I think our society is to shallow, and to product oriented.

  7. Re:No obligation on When Theaters Make Ticket Mistakes? · · Score: 2

    Yes, of course, I mean it happens so often that we have a meeting at 12 midnight, so people are bound to be confused. Just as when i see we should have a meeting at 10, so many people will rock at at night time.

  8. Re:A few more statistics... on Whither America's Technological Edge? · · Score: 2

    Are you sure, those Canadians always looked kinda funny!

  9. Re:pretty sensational on Whither America's Technological Edge? · · Score: 2

    How can I be so sure? Simply because nobody else has what it takes to match us: a devotion to free enterprise, a strong workforce, a wealth of natural resources, social mobility,

    and blind, pig-faced optimism, that prevents us from seeing what is wrong with ourselves. Lets hear it for America, hip-hip hooray.

  10. Re:Longevity and Stupidity on Console Games Sales Beat Out PC · · Score: 2

    Are you using it to post this? Do you have it set up as a router in the closet? Did you give it to your daughter to fool around with? Did you donate it to a school?

  12. Re:Hmm.. on NYTimes Year in Ideas · · Score: 2

    What an amazing piece of logic. Who am I to decide that i can't not run you over with my car? I think somewhere along the line, someone made the decision that they can perform tests on animals...

  13. Re:What about... on CDRW Drives Hit 52X Speeds · · Score: 2

    Still have my trusty Traxdata SCSI, 2x2x4.... works with no problems, but that may be because it is a pain in the ass to boot to windows 98, and wait 30 minutes to burn a CD.

  14. Re:Wasn't Nixon responsible? on 30 Years Since Last Man on the Moon · · Score: 2

    ok, that is a good comments, but one can also argue that the money could be better spent on the poor, fixing problems on the ground, in the US and around the world.

  15. Re:Ahh...Memories on Low Tech Toys? · · Score: 2

    I was really into lego. I remember going round to a friends house once, whose parents were relatively well off. He had all these models lying around, and when i went to play with one, he told me off, and said that we were not supposed to touch them. I think his parents sort of missed the point about lego...

  18. Re:Highly unlikely - and here's why on META Predicts Linux Software From Microsoft in 2004 · · Score: 2

    Surely if a lot of governments considered passing laws insisting on open source software, this would cost Microsoft a lot of money in lobbying...

    The Two Towers without Casper...just doesn't seem right.

  21. Re:Overapplied. on Dealing with ADHD and Other Problems in Young Children? · · Score: 2

    Ritalin and Dexampehtamine as both forms of speed, you can deny this all you want, but go ask your doctor, they won't even deny it.

  22. Re:First things to do on Dealing with ADHD and Other Problems in Young Children? · · Score: 2

    Nothing wrong with asking, it just depends what you listen to.

  23. Re:Drugs on Dealing with ADHD and Other Problems in Young Children? · · Score: 2

    Ritalin is one of the purest forms of speed around, i would not recommend that a raver takes it, never mind a 6yr old kid. It is difficult to talk a parent out of it tho, when they see an improvement in their own child.

  24. Re:Seeing as you're already drugging your kid... on Dealing with ADHD and Other Problems in Young Children? · · Score: 1

    The previous poster makes a good point, Ritalin, just like dexamphetamine is another form of speed. The government has been warning people about taking speed and extacy(also very similar to speed), for a long time, yet somehow it is OK to give it to your kids.

    All forms of speed have long term effects on people who take them, the only people who seem to disagree with this these days are ravers and child psychologists. I would never give my child speed, and was fortunate that my parents never gave it to me. I was hyperactive, and probably would have been diagnosed with ADHD today.

    Think very hard about keeping your children on ADHD.
