  1. Congress is involved, remember. on On Entangling and Testing Net Neutrality · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The net-neutrality legislation might actually make the problem worse. But at least it bans flag-burning, provides federal funding for Air America, declares Feb. 13 to be "National Nathaniel Hawthorne Awareness Day", and pays for 6 years of new shoes for Sen. Harkin! That's what counts the most.

  2. Re:Now, get Sinise. on Matt Damon as Kirk in Star Trek XI? · · Score: 1

    "We've already got that covered. The actors don't need to be alive anymore to be in new movies. "

    Oh. You saw Affleck in "Daredevil" as well, I take it.

  3. You've got a deal on Matt Damon as Kirk in Star Trek XI? · · Score: 1

    "Pat Benatar lookalikes and a naked Pheobe Cates to have a very watchable movie"

    Make the Benetars (Benetari?) naked, and have them outnumbered by the Cates', and I am so in line rightnow.

  4. Shatner as the new Kirk on Matt Damon as Kirk in Star Trek XI? · · Score: 2, Funny

    "With just little bit more plastic surgery Shatner can play that role himself..."

    Easily explained. He's played by Shatner, but he's really James T Kirk at age 19. He looks awfully old because that "Deadly Years" virus has had another outbreak. The bloated appearance is because he took part in a fraternity stunt and swallowed a live tribble (which has since bred many new generations his belly, throat, and cheeks). That awful complexion? From an unfortunate amorous encounter with a cute Horta co-ed. The pauses...in...his...speech? He's really a native Rigelian speaker, his his universal translator is on the fritz.

  5. Re:Now, get Sinise. on Matt Damon as Kirk in Star Trek XI? · · Score: 1

    "Sinise is fifteen years older than Damon, so it's a bit of a stretch to suggest they'd be classmates at Starfleet Academy together"

    It easily worked out if McCoy is relatively-new instructor at the Academy, always grumbling about having to teach Xenobiology 101 or something like that. Spock and Kirk, needless to say, have to take this class.

  6. We've seen the future of Star Trek on Matt Damon as Kirk in Star Trek XI? · · Score: 1

    The future leading edge of "Star Trek" looked terrible, as shown in Voyager and elsewhere. Spaceships that look like women's shower razors, bald little doctors holo'ing themselves all over the place, that damn Barclay they can't seem to get rid of, and Time Trek crews that have nothing to do other than curse about Kirk.... They wrecked the future, so they figured it was time to wreck the past and give us "Enterprise".

    "they also need to stop playing with the timeline that is established as cannon"

    Are you referring to a weapon that fires chroniton particles through the timeline?

  7. "Enterprise" going for demographics on Matt Damon as Kirk in Star Trek XI? · · Score: 1

    " What a horrible season because you could tell marketing had a big checklist for all the various "demographics" it was meant to appeal to"

    As a member of the group of Americans descended from buzzy-voiced giant bugs, I'm really glad that "Enterprise" gave proper attention to diversity and made sure to include my people among the Xindi species. My cousin who is married to someone descended from sloths agrees.

  8. Re:The Japanese prohibited from engaging in warfre on Japan Plans a Moonbase by 2030 · · Score: 1

    "You do realize that the SDF has one of the world's highest annual military budgets, right?"

    Yes, but it is all spent on those rocket-launchers all aimed to fire 66 degrees upward, where they always end up annoying Godzilla while doing nothing really to harm him. They're never expecting anything short, certainly nothing like North Korea's answer to Goerge Costanza.

  9. Now, get Sinise. on Matt Damon as Kirk in Star Trek XI? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I just read a few weeks ago about Damon being discussed as Kirk for JMS's now-gone Star Trek project. I thought it sounded like a good idea, and (for better or worse) the Shat himself approved of the choice.

    Now they need to sign Gary Sinise as McCoy. Hopefully, they can keep Affleck out. He has the superficial look and the emotionless demeanor necessary for Spock, but brings nothing else.

  10. If.... on Rockstar Finally Wins a Lawsuit · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If these business don't like photos taken of them from public streets, they should cover their storefronts with plain brown paper and remove all identifying and distinguishing characteristics.

  11. PlatePal on Symantec Labels Vicars' Software as Spyware · · Score: 5, Funny

    They take donations through the PlatePal (tm) church offering cash collection service.

  12. Re:The Vicar Knows who he writes for... on Symantec Labels Vicars' Software as Spyware · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Pay no attention to the writing of the troll
    The words seem empty cause theres nothing there at all
    We let the wise men moderate too soon
    We were just children of the moon

  13. The Poppins pic? on Shake Your Umbrella for a Random Song · · Score: 1

    "From the pic, you can tell that it was powered by linux."

    Here's a shot from the pic (motion picture) that proves the Linux involvement with Mary Poppins: http://www.geocities.com/hollywood/cinema/4756/pop pins3.jpg

  14. That's what it's all about on Shake Your Umbrella for a Random Song · · Score: 1

    "You have to turn around to adjust volume"

    I think the portable music player business has more than matured if they come out with a device where you control it by doing the Hokey Pokey.

  15. Re:The Japanese prohibited from engaging in warfre on Japan Plans a Moonbase by 2030 · · Score: 1

    "if China was aggressive. But it isn't."

    And, for that matter, there's a bunch of Tibetans and Taiwanese who might have something to say about that.

  16. Different country on Japan Plans a Moonbase by 2030 · · Score: 1

    That's a nice message and all that, but Kim Jong Il is not from China.

  17. I see another Batman movie coming on. Waaaa! on Shake Your Umbrella for a Random Song · · Score: 2, Funny

    Forget Heath Ledger as the Joker. It's going be the Penguin blasting William Hung songs out of his umbrella all the way.

  18. Arrrr ! on Japan Plans a Moonbase by 2030 · · Score: 1

    "Lots of ice on Mars"

    Where there be ice, there be water. Where there be water, there be pirates, matey!

  19. We have another name for it. on Japan Plans a Moonbase by 2030 · · Score: 2, Funny

    You call it moon. We call it "Gitmo II".

  20. Can the US help their effort? on Japan Plans a Moonbase by 2030 · · Score: 1

    I'm sure we can send Japan our highly precise English-unit distance measurements to aid their effort. That, and a couple of hogsheads of Bud Light to sweeten the deal.

  21. The Japanese prohibited from engaging in warfre on Japan Plans a Moonbase by 2030 · · Score: 1

    When Kim Jong Il realizes that he can conquer Japan with nothing but a shock of bad hair, a scowl, and a butterknife, it'll be all over.

  22. Moon Union Zapped on Japan Plans a Moonbase by 2030 · · Score: 4, Funny

    "This reminds me of the timeframes set out by the state construction workers on our highways."

    However, due to stark environmental realities, the sympathy strike by the oxygen-delivery union will have fatal consequences on the moon construction workers' picket line.

  23. Fat chance on Japan Plans a Moonbase by 2030 · · Score: 1

    "Didn't Bush reinstate plans to start putting Americans back on the moon shortly after he was elected?"

    After the well publicized Bush rift with Hollywood, there's no chance that his administration will get to repeat the moon landings. I only hope with this new Japanese moon effort, they remember to clear all the miniature cardboard skyscrapers off of the soundstage.

  24. Ugh on Japan Plans a Moonbase by 2030 · · Score: 1

    "Mare Nostrum will be filled with Americano"

    Sounds like some awful pidgin Latin utterance by someone with cheese in his nose.

  25. My favorite "Virtual Boy" games on Games That Defined The Virtual Boy · · Score: 1

    1. In Bed for 3 Days with Migraine 2. GTA: Blind Carjacker 3. Captain EO (this last game being a tie-in to the Michael Jackson Disney attraction, created after Jackson's initial huge excitement over the console's name)
