Anyone stupid enough to be put off by "derived from HIV" would do the earth a great favour if they don't reproduce and just die (because of cancer in this case). And It's cancer, for fucks sake. Even the stupidest person on the earth will do enough reading and get enough advice to know that the cure will not give him AIDS. This is not like buying a soap or potato chips. And what do you mean by "market"? Everything is not a business, you know. And who modded parent as Insightful?
And what the fuck can one do with an account on it? What, you expect me to create an account on it just to find out?!? One more thing, unlike what Google Maps says, there are countries in the world other than USA, Mini USA (known as Canada everywhere else) and South USA (known as Mexico everywhere else). So not everyone might know about a site that looks like it's useful mostly for Americans. And the best buy joke might not apply to all. Oh and nice way to impress the (obviously American) mods by making one post using your account and another one as AC (and probably a third one).
WTF is orbitz and what can one do with an account on it? What are the implications of the new terms and conditions on users and why should we care? Can't/. provide *any* fucking details?
That would be even worse. It would create imbalance in our gases. For example, each molecule of CO2 has an atom of carbon and 2 atoms of oxygen, both of which are necessary for life. We don't want to eliminate the components of the green house gases, we only want to eliminate the resulting green house gases. And these are just things that I, an ordinary man, can think of. There can be many more bad effects because of your idea, many of which we don't even know yet.
The book was excellent. The movies sucked except for the sfx. BTW, this was adopted from a book so most of the story doesn't count.
The Matrix
Story sucked.
2001
Not the typical sfx filled movie I'm talking about. Sorry, movies so old don't count. It's not the kind of digital effects movie I'm talking about.
Jaws (not a big FX by modern standards obviously - but it was for its day a big sfx filled hollywood movie)
Same as 2001.
Aliens
Story sucked.
Blade Runner
Same as 2001.
Forrest Gump (just because its not sf doesn't mean it didn't have a lot of special effects)
You call this an sfx filled movie?!?
Terminator/Terminator 2
Story sucked.
Ben-Hur
Same as 2001.
BTW, Story != Theme/Concept. Most of the "good" story movies you are talking about only had a good theme/concept. Their execution of the concept into a story completely sucked. One more thing, even if all the examples you gave did count, it's still only 9 movies. That in fact proves my point -- you were able to find only 9 movies and even those were wrong examples.
Woah, you're seriously mistaken about free speech. Free speech means the government or the authority will not stop you from saying what you want. It does NOT mean that no one will protest your saying what you want. They are just exercising *their* right to free speech in protesting you. You say something and because of that organisations migh exclude you from their activities, all legally. Like, a private club might expel you. But you still haven't lost the right to free speech because you still can say whatever you want without breaking any law and the goverment is not stopping you.
If Dior put a full-page ad in New York Times encouraging people to buy Dior instead of Louis Vuitton, does that mean that the New York Times is responsible for violating the trademark, or would it be Dior?
Your analogy is wrong but anyway... Just think about it. If they sue Dior, some other company will give a similar ad in NY-Times. But if they sue NY-Times, no other company can give a similar ad in NY-Times again.
How much do you want to bet that the parent poster and the people who modded it up are just US people who are pissed that Frace didn't support the US invasion of Iraq?
Why is this story on Slashdot? Because this is big news in USA? Outside USA this is not as big as The South-east Asian Tsunami or the USA World Trade Center crashes.
After this is over, and if IBM wins, will it sue SCO for wasting its time and money? (I'm sure there is some more important sounding legal term for suing someone for wasting my time and money in court)
the concept of the Jedis worshipping a dead religion is what made Star Wars (at first, anyway) so sticky for so many fans.
Really? I liked Star Wars for the special effects. The story sucked. The stories of all these "Big", Special Effects-filled movies suck. Or at least the stories of such Hollywood movies. I watch them for the SFX.
WTF?!? All modded-up questions are the same as the ones asked by any other website, these questions just ask him what he wants to be asked of him. Any hard questions are being modded down. That interview by that german magazine is the best one I've seen and even that acted like a pussy.
Slashdot Mirror
Who modded parent as troll? Come on, it's genuinely funny.
Err, Web != HTML. You can download other files over HTTP too.

Oops I don't live in USA. And you haven't answered my other questions.

Holy shit, they patented the double-click. Where is the slashdot article on this, I think I missed it?
This is part of the Anti-trust ruling against MS by EU.

It's just Opera's dirty marketing tactics. Even when it's against a company you hate, it's still a dirty marketing tactic.
This also happens when people forget which TLD a website has. Like suprnova.com .
tell them their fuckin stupid.
Correction: they're or they are.
LOTR (all three)

Way to take things out context. Oh and BTW, it's OK to say "fuck" here, your mom won't know.

Google doesn't have legal business presence in France?!? Who the fuck modded parent up?

...there is probably some range in different parts of the country...
Which country?
