  1. Re:cost=$38M, ticket sales=$25M = failure on Whedon Calls Death Knell For Firefly · · Score: 1

    Having said the movie sucked and getting modded down as a troll in an earlier /. thread, I feel vindicated that the level of suck is official. Cancelled TV show and high production costs were cited as a major problem. Box office revenues were $25M yet the cost to produce the movie was $38M(advertising not included).

    Advertising not included... Is that because there wasn't any?

    He's listened to by millions of idiots that believe every word he says. If the man had any integrity he would actually check things out before he starts espousing them. As for "maybe it's true" it's not true at all, and no one but miss-informed people thought it was when he said it. If you had bothered to read the article that was published more than 2 years before Rush made his miss-informed statement you might have realized that. It's not as if this is the first thing Rush has said that's complete crap and was easily verifiable as complete crap. Anyone that actually cares about finding truth should be completely disgusted with this purveyor of lies.

    Hmm, I read your post, now read it again, but substitute Rush for Slashdot. Consider all the dupes, mistakes, etc, and you realize... Gee, He is human. Just like the slash editors. The size of the audience does not mean check your data better, at least if you consider the size of the slashdot audience. Anyhow, his talent is on loan from God. Maybe He needed it back on that day.

    Yes, this is a joke.

    Anywho, on topic, I personally would like to see a moonbase. My parents got to see man land on the moon, I'd like to see people living there.

    Gah, I was hoping you had some pictures linked. No one ever makes good renderings of bolos. Ah well.

    But yeah, we could definitely have used that in iraq.

    No, it will not. Read this review and stres test of the ipod: http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/nano.ars/3

    Of course, at 42, you also know the meaning of life, the universe, and everything. So subtract that out of the equation here.

    Someone here has obviously never read ANY pre-Christian history...

    In other words, count all the dump trucks going away from the site with dirt. We will know thus how much work is actually done. There are hundreds of other ways too, up to and including whistle-blowers.

    "There is no hope in saying it isn't so, the screen is blue only when you can see blue." Fixed your spelling error.

  12. Re:Chicken and Egg. on Is SETI a Security Risk? · · Score: 1

    The basic argument is this: If it were possible, within the limits of human technology, to take over the world with a computer virus, we would have seen some indication of it by now. I'm trying very hard not to say Microsoft right now... ;)

  13. Re:Nice try on Free60 Project Aims for Linux on Xbox 360 · · Score: 1

    We would love to tell you as soon as our pre-orders come through. I'll write that down as the first thing microsoft shoulda done differently. Oh wait, this strategy keeps the 360 out of my hands, thus preventing me from hacking it! Genius!

    Hmm, perhaps that is the idea here, to create a loss for their tax forms. Just a thought. They might be making money elsewhere by losing money here.

    Speed differential. Free could be one meg speeds whereas premium could be five megs and gps integration.
