Congratulations, you have posted a typically self-contradictory comment and people have decided to comment on it as if it were serious. You win teh trollprize. That or you're really really dumb, but I doubt that's the case in this comment.

I agree with you about the acting (in the first TWO seasons it was often unbearable) and some of the dialogue (although some of it was fairly brilliant — these are great people doing great things, not your neighbor the plumber, they're going to be speaking fairly differently) I don't agree with you about the digital effects. It's easy to be jaded today about how "bad" they look because the average video game has better graphics, but if you compare the effects of Trek shows of the day, the effects are clearly in the same ballpark, and if they could have afforded to render them out nicer then many of them would actually have looked better.

I know some women who act more like we expect men to act than like women, who aren't even lesbians. So frankly, I think you just don't know very many people, or perhaps interesting people simply avoid interacting with you.

So, just to be clear, there's a puzzle which has to be solved to move on to the next level, where you attain employment?

Congratulations, you have just presented an example of gamification as a counter-example.

It doesn't make any sense to believe that there will be less publishers because e-publishing lowers the bar to entry. Therefore, there will be more publishers, even if sales are lower, as more and more small players attempt to inhabit niches.

I'm a lot more worried about an engineered flu virus that flips these bits and makes you die early and inflamed. Guess now we know what Captain Trips will be made from.

I think what you're forgetting is that a lot of people didn't think what happened could happen. Now you're making a totally unsupported declarative statement about the same thing.

That is a bald-faced lie, and I am not surprised you made it in an anonymous and cowardly fashion. How much does Japan pay you to lie to people in a way that negatively impacts public health? I hope you get ass cancer and die, soon, before you can repeat these lies.

Yeah, you're so broke you can't afford to log into slashdot. I feel for you man, here's a quarter, get a nickname.

So if I write ".net programmer with 20 years of experience" on my resume, it is true? AWESOME!

We've been asking for a meritocracy for a long time, now. How do you expect to prove your merit without some kind of testing?

On the plus side, if you try to go to work for a beer bar you can always just play tapper. Or the minigame in Fable.
