    I thought Lucas was now basically just a consultant, and didn't have much involvement in actual story development; sort of a Gene Roddenberry, except he ended the Great Bird of a Galaxy Far Far Away ended up being many times richer than the mere Great Bird of our humble galaxy.

  3. Re:Gov-a-mint on Han Solo To Get His Own Star Wars Movie Prequel · · Score: 4, Funny

    So you're thinking this would be a thinly-veiled allegorical retelling of Ron Paul's life? Maybe it can include a "staffer" writing anti-Wookie rants in Han's newsletter.

  4. Fuck That! on Han Solo To Get His Own Star Wars Movie Prequel · · Score: 5, Funny

    Fuck that! I want Jar Jar Binks' background story, and how he came to have the death sentence placed on him by Boss Rugor Nas.

    Can you imagine a movie populated completely by Gungans! Meesah think it vewry vewry good!

  5. Re:The coin has two sides on "We Screwed Up," Says Reddit CEO In Formal Apology · · Score: 1

    Have they? With that moronic "Share" button where the useful "read more" link once was, I think we can be sure that they're just trying to bring back the horror show that was Beta one change at a time.

    Dice hates its userbase just as much as Reddit's management did. This is what happens when you let sociopathic MBAs run a site. These evil beings think only terms of monetizing, so they can lubricate their way into fat payoffs and leave the sites they've screwed as smoking ruins.

  6. Varoufakis on Software Devs Leaving Greece For Good, Finance Minister Resigns · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think it's pretty clear Varoufakis was turfed by Tsipras because the only hope in hell Greece now has of negotiating a deal with the Troika and remaining in the Eurozone and even in the EU is not having that man by his side. The price of even talking about a new deal and further bailouts is Varoufakis's head, which has been delivered to Merkel on a silver platter. This referendum was completely about Tsipras's political survival, and having achieved that, Greek voters will now witness just how utterly irrelevant the referendum was.

    A good workmanlike book? It is to SF what The Lord of the Rings is to fantasy, and one of the greatest pieces of world creation ever written.

  8. Re:Terrifying. on Clang Plays Tetris -- Tetris As a C++ Template Metaprogram · · Score: 1

    This is the most terrifying and ridiculous thing I've seen in my entire life.

    No, the most terrifying and ridiculous thing would be if it was rewritten in JavaScript which outputted Java source that piped C# source that then, when compiled and executed, outputted as an x86 ASM program that produced a PHP script.

    If Reddit is the peanut gallery of the Web, what does that make Slashdot?

    Anyone who embarrasses a Western government or an ally of a Western government is, by definition, a terrorist.

    Especially in the UK, where Parliamentary supremacy still, at least in theory, exists. In other words, Parliament can literally make anything legal, even retroactively, that it wants.

  16. Re:Not Exactly.... on Windows 10 Shares Your Wi-Fi Password With Contacts · · Score: 1

    I get how it works. I disagree completely that any access to a third party WiFi network should be up to any permissions model put out by Microsoft, or that I should have to basically implement the kludge so that the network is excluded.

    It's a shitty idea, pure and simple.

    I don't care about whether you can prevent sharing with your friends on FB it whatever, what I care about is me not having to alter my network settings so that if I give you access to my WiFi network, you sharing MY network information with the pwoe you're "friends" with.

  21. Re:Not Exactly.... on Windows 10 Shares Your Wi-Fi Password With Contacts · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That isn't the issue. The issue is YOU being able to share MY WiFi key because I was dumb enough to let a Windows 10 user on my WiFi network. This is akin to me giving you the keys to my house so you can housesit, and you getting a hundred copies cut and distributing them to a bunch of people you know.

    This is from the company that thought having users run as root user using a browser that would automatically install unsigned executables and libraries from the Internet was just the bestest idea ever.

    Thank you for being a friend,
    And sharing WiFi passwords there and back again.
    You're giving me the WiFi key of your favorite restaurant.

    And if they came to your dorm,

    And the FBI would raid you singing "Thank you for filling our jail!"

    Inflammatory Mode On: Why in the fuck would even want to opt-in to such a service? If it's private WiFi, it's likely to be at my home or my workplace, and in either case I absolutely do not ever want to share that over fucking Fuckbook, Twatter or whatever stupid lame-ass soshial neshworking crap site becomes the next biggest and greatest.

    Rational Mode On: Now let's imagine that my organization has a private WiFi hotspot available for employees and a few others. I do not ever want to have those keys shared outside that group, nor should I have to change MY network with an "_optout" on the end of an SSID. I would consider that a breach of security. Sure, I'll probably be able to disable Windows devices that are domain members via GPO, but if they're not actually devices belonging to the organization, or "Pro" versions of Windows where it even knows what the hell Active Directory is, then MY network is being compromised by this service.

    This is just a plain bad idea, whether you're being reasonable or inflammatory.

    You also don't have to worry as much about massive storms with 300km/h winds. I don't know about you, but I'm not sure I'd want to be hanging out in a large zeppelin when a wind like that nailed me.
