  1. LTML? on Paycheck-Style Memory Erasure: How Close Are We? · · Score: 1

  2. Re:Actually... on Paycheck-Style Memory Erasure: How Close Are We? · · Score: 1

    --I would term an inaccessible memory as a random license plate that your eyes beheld in passing, a decade ago. There is no freaking way you can recall it, just as sometimes there is no freaking way you can recall where you misplaced your car keys an hour ago -- or some similar scenario.

    --Perhaps hypnosis could dig out a brief and long-ago memory, but in the case of the decade-old license plate I think it's doubtful.

    --I *seriously* doubt 2.6 would do that well, but it would be worth seeing.

    --I'm actually quite surprised the test DID go as well as they said, because the maintainers didn't take the horrible OOM killer out until 2.4.23. (That was the Most Annoying Thing Evar about 2.4.x for me.)

    Akiva Goldsman who apparently also wrote:

    o Lost In Space == Potentially good but RUINED by time travel (Gary Oldman was good tho, and the 2 older women in those spacesuits--!)

    o A Beautiful Mind == Nothing like I thought it would be. Horribly overrated.

    o Practical Magic, A Time to Kill ==Haven't seen them

    o and Batman and Robin. == Truly Awful. Not even Arnold Schwarzenegger could save that pile of garbage.

    --The advance verdict: This movie is going to suck. :( WTF, can't they even get (genius) ASIMOV right???

    --But I'll wait around and check the reviews after it's been playing for a while.

  18. Re:Trailer, anyone? on Asimov's "I, Robot" Gets Movie Treatment · · Score: 1

    --I hope this movie doesn't suck as much as ( http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0182789/ ) did. I demanded my money back on that one. It was godawful. Don't ever waste your money on it.

    --What sucks the most is that the book they supposedly BASED it on, really rocked and is a really good read.
