  1. Re:Disc World on Rumors of Pratchett Film · · Score: 1

    That's actually passed quite a bit around. The quote is such that "American Viewers aren't ready for a positive Death figure." or something of that nature.

  2. Re:Disc World on Rumors of Pratchett Film · · Score: 1

    They finished TV shows based on Wyrd Sisters and Soul Music already - I doubt, even if they were making a movie, they would use that.

    It would be VERY intersting to see Moving Pictures as a full-length movie, or as another TV series.

  3. Re:Disc World on Rumors of Pratchett Film · · Score: 1

    If you are looking for a great way to continue the discworld experience (heh), they have finished two complete TV adaptations - those of Soul Music and Wyrd Sisters - I watched them, and they are really high quality and stick with the plot for the most part.

    Soul Music: http://imdb.com/title/tt0159914/
    Wyrd Sisters: http://imdb.com/title/tt0159931/

  4. Re:I have been reading these responses, and on College Students Lack Literacy · · Score: 1

    I balk at a three page paper in 8 point font myself - after sitting all day behind a computer writing that thing, I'm not going to be able to see the text to re-read it, much less edit it.

  5. Re:How many students -read-??? on College Students Lack Literacy · · Score: 1

    It counts, but in the opposite direction.

  6. Re:Half-Life on Cinematics Are Killing Gameplay? · · Score: 1

    I assume you mean for FPSs only, right? Personally, I don't see why many FPS even have cutscenes. I play UT2k4 extensively, and while there's I believe an intro cutscene, I just skip it to blow stuff up. I was never a fan of many FPS, but overall, games with a story should tell the story - whichever way works.

  7. Re:Is it really worth it? on Domain Name Sold for Millions · · Score: 1

    Hmm... This offers interesting possibilities to college campuses everywhere.

  8. Re:Bill still has over a week to go! Be fair! on Spam is Dead · · Score: 1

    But of course, to get the money, you have to register with your local authorities first.

  9. Re:Centralized Email on Spam is Dead · · Score: 1

    Easy - just ignore all senders that do not follow the agreement, except those you whitelist.

  10. Re:There ya have it, DRM != evil on A Look at Google DRM · · Score: 1

    Isn't that a step backward?

  11. Re:Not another video player on A Look at Google DRM · · Score: 1

    I wonder how long it will take for the codec to be implemented in VLC...

  12. Re:You guys are all pussies on Dell Selling 30" Flat Panels · · Score: 1

    I am perfectly fine using a 17 inch, but I despise auto-hide, and like having lots of helper panels - google desktop for email, weather, and iTunes, then the taskbar and gAIM. I'm thinking of getting a second monitor to shift all that junk to, just so I can concentrate on my work.

  13. Re:Slashvertisment on New Fatal1ty Gaming Mouse · · Score: 1

    Now if only we could block all stories, as well...

  14. 20 million revenue, eh? on Digital Music Enjoys Golden Week · · Score: 3, Funny

    So I'm sure that that revenue will be seen as cutting money from CD sales, and a great representation of piracy by the RIAA, won't it.

  15. Re:You guys are all pussies on Dell Selling 30" Flat Panels · · Score: 1

    Could you imagine the resolution you'd need to make that work?

  16. Re:You guys are all pussies on Dell Selling 30" Flat Panels · · Score: 1

    In the article: "Meanwhile, the 42" SEDs we saw will be axed in favor of a base size that begins at 55", Toshiba promises."

  17. Re:First Prime Factorization Post on Dell Selling 30" Flat Panels · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is this some new meme I missed out on?

  18. Re:You guys are all pussies on Dell Selling 30" Flat Panels · · Score: 3, Informative

    55'' minimum - This is a plasma tv replacement, not a replacement for the LCD sitting on your desk.

  19. Re:Iam stunned ! on The Softening of a Software Man · · Score: 1

    How does open source help if they can't buy a computer?

    It's not teaching a man how to fish. It's giving him fish as opposed to teaching him to write code - which one is better, in your opinion?

  20. Re:Mining voluntary information on a public websit on Data Mining Amazon.com Wish Lists · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Is it considered bad if I recognize and have read about half of those books?

  21. Re:Welcome... on Google Video Store Announced · · Score: 1

    What he meant was that he downloads stuff for free, so not a penny goes to comcast.

    Watch this get modded insightful...

  22. Re:What does Simpsons use? on South Park Turns to Xserve for Storage Upgrade · · Score: 1

    Sorry, my school uses a packetshaper - no torrents get through, and tunneling limits the speed so much that it doesn't help.

  23. Re:What does Simpsons use? on South Park Turns to Xserve for Storage Upgrade · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yes, it takes a whole 30 gigs on my computer.

  24. Re:Make Sonic about Sonic and it'll be good. on Prognosticating the Year Ahead · · Score: 1

    I personally enjoyed Shadow the Hedgehog. It wasn't a Sonic game by any stretch, and it contained too much shooting to ever be considered one, but it was closer to what I want in a Sonic game. I want a solid Sonic game, with just Sonic as a playable character, or maybe bringing back Tails as a Co-op, or Shadow as a rival - no weapons, no vehicles, and no "find the emeralds."

  25. Number 11 on 100 Things We Didn't Know This Time Last Year · · Score: 2, Funny

    "11. One in 10 Europeans is allegedly conceived in an Ikea bed." I wonder if Ikea can take claims to those children as prior art?
