  1. Re:Glad to see.. on Angry Villagers Run Google Out of Town · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You got a high-ranking insightful... how does the saying go? Fool me five times, shame on you. Fool me six times, shame on me? Please... a large number of people have enjoyed his movies. Maybe the Slashdot crowd holds movies to a higher standard, but "the movie-going public" seem to enjoy Star Wars movies very closely to how they were released.

  2. Re:In other words on What Would It Look Like To Fall Into a Black Hole? · · Score: 1

    What you said is 100% correct, but there is a LOT of radiation that is deadly to humans associated with the in-falling matter that is falling in.

    Fall in

  3. Re:Black holes have an infinite radius on What Would It Look Like To Fall Into a Black Hole? · · Score: 1

    Nothing exciting happens at the event horizon. It's just the point at which you need infinite energy to leave the black hole's event horizon again. For very large black holes, such as that in the center of the Milky Way, a human can safely pass the event horizon and see what it looks like inside. Eventually, however, the human will be subjected to higher and higher tidal forces--but that has to do with the size of the black hole, not with the crossing of an event horizon.

  4. Re:Article Quotes on Wolverine Film Leaked a Month Before Release · · Score: 1

    I'm certainly not one to make excuses for why I download many things rather than buy (sheer convenience is #1, and price is #2... not some moral argument), but I never want to reward a company for making those annoying unskippable commercials at the beginning. It makes me very unhappy.

  5. Re:Living up to expectation on Star Trek Sequel Already Planned · · Score: 1

    There are very few time travel Star Trek plots that I find compelling. I enjoyed the idea of traveling back in time to recover extinct whales. I also enjoyed that time-traveling finale for TNG. However, there are too many plot holes that exist for a world allowing time travel, and I'm not pleased after hearing the basis for this script.

  6. Re:Erm on Pirate Bay To Offer VPN For $7 a Month · · Score: 1

    I have heard about these border searches, but where are they? I flew from the US to Japan and back this Christmas, and I had no greater search than what they've been doing in customs for hundreds of years. No hard drive cloning or anything unreasonable.

  7. Re:We've missed the obvious angle on CIA Expert Decries E-Voting Security · · Score: 1

    What are you talking about? I never said anything about whether his place of birth was the US or not. I just remember reading a specific CNN article last December/January where a justice of a supreme court stated clearly that they would not intervene in Obama's ascension of the presidency even if he were found to not be a U.S. citizen.

    Since I got modded troll for not explicitly saying this earlier: I believe Barack Obama was born in the U.S.! But that's not the issue that this post and the grandparent's post are talking about. Yeesh.

  8. Re:Venezuela on CIA Expert Decries E-Voting Security · · Score: 1

    Chavez has been in power for "less than a few generations"? I guess that's true, but a little misleading.

  9. Re:We've missed the obvious angle on CIA Expert Decries E-Voting Security · · Score: 0, Troll

    OK, I know you're joking and I know I'm being a pedant, but the US Constitution says you have to be a natural born citizen of the US to be President.

    Didn't the Supreme Court make a statement stating simply that Barack Obama's place of birth didn't matter--that he was chosen by the American people, regardless?

  10. Re:why? on New Lossless MP3 Format Explained · · Score: 2

    And why put the MP3 part there at all? Why would you need it if you already have a lossless file?

    Because the MP3 player can't play the lossless part.

    Hey, I'm not the one who came up with the idea.

  11. Re:Huzzah! on 20 Years After Cold Fusion Debut, Another Team Claims Success · · Score: 1

    Simpsons was funny for many years, but sometime around the ten-year mark Matt Groening apparently signed a contract to produce new episodes until the day that he dies. What was once an outstanding television show has turned into a poor Family Guy rip-off... :(

  12. Re:Sequels on Mass Effect 2 Announced For Early 2010 · · Score: 1

    Mass Effect 2 will be a great success if they only do one thing differently:

    FIX THE DUNGEONS. That's all they need to do to make their blockbuster even more bockblustery.

    So does that make you a plaque, or a diploma?

    Sure they did, but most of them went against their will or at least in lieu of whatever plans they had for the next few years of their life.

    These sound like those non-true "oh, that's an interesting fact!" that people repeat all the time. I doubt its truthfulness.

    GP is a little excited, but I hope you spoke to their Inspector General or Internal Affairs or whatever police have.

  25. Re:Misleading headline, and ActiveX on IE8 May Be End of the Line For Internet Explorer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sorry, but when have you seen the last ActiveX anything?

    The only plug-ìns that are widely spread are Flash and Java. They both can run as NSplugin. So if IE9 adopts that interface, and maybe another new one, they are good.

    Korean websites use TOOOOOOOOOOONS of ActiveX. If you break ActiveX, then you basically break the entire Korean-language internet.
