  1. Re:Not in my bookmarks on Are You Ogling Google News? · · Score: 2

    I really enjoy the layout.. seems to put so much unformation on one page. And it covers news from all around the world, which is so much better than the usual sites. Even cnn world doesn't seem to have as much content.

  2. Re:Just dont buy one.. on HDTV and Its Impending Problems? · · Score: 2

    I think cooking shows are the biggest tease since that 16yr old girl moved into the house next door, the one with no blinds on the windows ;)

    You don't smell anything, you can't taste it...You have to send away for the recipes anyway, unless you sit there scribbling down the recipes...

    (you can buy them in pill form, you know)

    You should be very wary of supplementing vitamins in pill form. Pills do not always provide the best form of vitamins, and are no way comparable to getting your vitamins from non-processed foods.

    "She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid."
    "Curse my metal body, I wasn't fast enough!"
    "Look at the size of that thing!"
    "Sorry about the mess..."
    "You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought."
    "Aren't you a little short for a storm trooper?"
    "You've got something jammed in here real good."
    "Put that thing away before you get us all killed!"
    "Luke, at that speed do you think you'll be able to pull out in time?"
    "Get in there you big furry oaf, I don't care *what* you smell!"

    Top Ten Sexually Tilted Lines in "The Empire Strikes Back"

    "Possible he came in through the south entrance."
    "I must've hit it pretty close to the mark to get her all riled up like that, huh kid?"
    "Hurry up, golden-rod..."
    "That's okay, I'd like to keep it on manual control for a while."
    "But now we must eat. Come, good food, come..."
    "Control, control! You must learn control!"
    "There's an awful lot of moisture in here."
    "Size matters not. Judge me by my size, do you?"
    "I thought that hairy beast would be the end of me!"

    "Not bad for a little fur ball."
    "How can they be jamming us if they don't know we're coming?"
    "Come here, I won't hurt you. You want something to eat?"
    "Keep on that one, I'll take these two"
    "I want you to take her. I mean it, take her!"

  6. Re:The Case for on David Brin on "Attack of the Clones" · · Score: 2

    I see what you are saying... the rebels are like terrorists... this is starting to make sense.

    And George Bush is the Emperor... I can see that. He is still pushing to attack Iraq, even though they accepted his original demands.

    "He will join us or die!"
    "Yes, yes"

  7. Re:Perfect revenue model for TV shows on Product Placement in Online Gaming · · Score: 2

    Nowadays they generally try to be a little bit more subtle than back in the day when people would describe the virtues of their products directly. It can be as simple as what brand of soda is out on the kitchen island, what watch comapny is featured in the closeup, or what type of car the cool lead character drives. However, rarely are these uses of brands unitentional or for artistic purposes.

    Wow...what subtlety.

  8. Re:Tell Me It's Not So on Australia Taps More Phones Than Entire U.S. · · Score: 1

    "No worries, mate!"

    Yes.. that is exactly what we want you to think... until it is too late....muuaahhhh.

    Seriously, when things change slowly, and most things that change are under the surface of everyday life, you really don't know how bad it is, unitl it is too late. Well, lets hope it isn't too late.

  9. Re:The one perfect role for Keanu... on Keanu Reeves as Superman · · Score: 2

    Perhaps that says more about you, than him... did you really like bill and teds crappy adventures?

    I don't hate Keanu that much, but I hate crappy movies. I also like Brad Pitt, and in each of his movies he has played pretty much the same character... in the few movies I saw him in, anyway. Same for Keanu. Some actors don't seem to have a lot of range. So what!

  10. Re:Its only cause of his last name... on Keanu Reeves as Superman · · Score: 2

    I am sorry, I find it hard to believe that Christoper Reeve's birthday (with an s) will be his 25th. What, does Superman age at different rate to everybody else?

    And perhaps this movie is not aimed at the boring, crappy geek market, who enjoy movies like Sneakers, and such shit. Superman was never aimed at the geek market... at least not computer geeks.

  11. Re:I have a CN script on De Niro Seeks Science-Oriented Film Scripts · · Score: 1

    Come on, fat people could and should do something about, more for themselves than anything else.

    or... perhaps he wanted to save us from succumbing to reading the same drivel? naahhhh

  13. Re:Do some research on ChronoSpace · · Score: 2

    it is needlessly confusing, and offers nothing extra to the plot to have a character names Morris.

  14. Re:I find the author rather uninformed. on Secrets Of BIOS Tweaking · · Score: 2

    That is, if you only wanted your program to be able to run on that ONE model of PC. To get to hardware, nobody programmed to teh BIOS, they programmed using DOS interrupts.

    Come on, BIOS interrupts were more just as standard as DOS interrupts. And you needed them if you were writting an OS, or bootloader, or boot virus or something... There were a few things you could only do with BIOS interrupts - change the screen resolution!!!!

  15. Re:But then, there's just plain stupid ... on When Users Attack · · Score: 3, Insightful

    To you or more, the OS might be important, but most people don't care, and why should they? Everytime i get in someones car, i don't look to see what type is, if all i am getting is a lift to the beach!

    You are a hard, hard man!

  16. Re:Slashdot Cache on When Users Attack · · Score: 2

  18. Re:It's the music, stupid on Yet Another Look at CD Sales · · Score: 2

    I'm sorry, but to me, all these albums sound the same. If you want innovation in music, then perhaps try techno - real techno, not the shit they play in dance clubs or on the radio.

    There are many forms of Techno, to name a few: Hardcore, Ambient, Trance, Happy Hardcore, Gabber, Dance, Experimental, Drum and Bass, Industrial...

    I mean how different can you be with a singer, a guitar player, a bass player, ad drummer and variation there of?

  24. Re:Star Trak is seriously starting to suck in my b on Doctor Phlox on Season 2 of Enterprise · · Score: 2

    I love and hate voyager, it has great ideas, and i really enjoy watching it, but there are some elements of silliness that really stand out. Like whenever they are being attacked, all the console and overhead lights start to oscillate on and off.

    But i liked the Borg stuff, Seven discovering her individuality, very bold stuff, perhaps not for pure sci-fi people, but as a big fan of PKDick, i loved this human story line!
