  1. Lucas Bad - Peter Jackson Good on Lucas To Redo Star Wars In 3-D · · Score: 1
    Notice how the focus is on Lucas, but few mention LOTR in 3D.

    "Jackson screened remastered portions from the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy that featured a looming Gollum and battle dust that virtually fell onto the audience."

    Wheres the outcry with messing with a "classic"?

    Lucas: BAD
    Jackson: GOOD

  2. Re:The problem with .... on Hitachi Unveils Humanoid Robot · · Score: 1

    Lighten up...they're not selling them. They're the equivalent of a concept car. Showing what can be done with current technology. Remember "Electro"? From an old Worlds Fair...his brain is bigger than yours you know.

  3. Re:Caveat on IE Vulnerable to Cross-Browser Spyware Attack · · Score: 1
    Offtopic, but here's my spin:

    McDonald's required franchises to serve coffee at 180-190F.

    The National Coffee Association recommends that coffee be brewed at 195-205F and should be maintained at 180-185F.

    The woman was 79 years old(!)....and she puts the hot coffee between her knees.

    Yes coffee is hot, but do you really need another warning label?

  4. perpetuating the Great Wall myth on Whirlwinds on Mars, From the Ground · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    "It isn't exactly the Great Wall of China, but a manmade feature is now visible from space on another planet..."

    You can't see the Great Wall unless you got a real good zoom lens (radar don't count).

  5. Ban "cops and robbers" too on Views on Violence in Video Games · · Score: 1

    Why its "bad" to play a video game where you shoot your friends buts its OK to play cops and robbers (as in outside with toy guns) where you shoot friends?

  6. and a great marking department on ATI Introduces FireGL V5000 · · Score: 1

    "based on a 110-nanometer process and the card sports eight pixel pipelines, six geometry engines..." How many geometry engines does your card have?

  7. Re:Annual Inspection on California Wants GPS Tracking Device in Every Car · · Score: 1

    Where do you live where that requires an annual inspection? Do you mean smog? Smog check doesn't start until the 6th year now (thanks Arnuld!) and then every other year in CA. www.smogcheck.ca.gov
