Which makes for a good plot, imho. I don't think the issue with the movie was a bad plot. I think the issue was completely in it's execution and, more specifically, the dialog. The father/son relationship was so awkward as played out with the dialog. The random conversation about his motorcycle just felt so out of place. Sam's conversation with Quorra about the sunlight, etc seemed like it was written by a fifth grader.

The first half of the movie was filled with what felt like obligatory CG action sequences that just <i>had</i> to be a part of the movie. Then we get a random interjection with the club owner character that was so obviously a rip of 5th element and the wackiness of the show host from that movie. Finally, the latter half was stuffed with a bunch of bad dialog in an attempt to finally fill out the plot and felt so completely half ass.

Actually, it's a cached page from google, because this stupid end user (aka, comment author) didn't have the sense that the JVM takes 5 hours to start and set is browser timeout settings appropriately. the last time this article was actually worked it stopped at 5k results when the dinosaur that "engineered" it thought that 10 minutes of up-time with results he liked meant that the http request to MSSQL Reporting worked.

OLPC Set To Dump x86 For Arm Chips In XO 2 274

angry tapir writes with this excerpt from Good Gear Guide: "One Laptop Per Child is set to dump x86 processors, instead opting to put low-power Arm-based processors in its next-generation XO-2 laptop with the aim of improving battery life. The nonprofit is 'almost' committed to putting the Arm-based chip in the next-generation XO-2 laptop, which is due for release in 18 months, according to Nicholas Negroponte, chairman of OLPC. The XO-1 laptop currently ships with Advanced Micro Devices' aging Geode chip, which is based on an x86 design."
