...Oh ye of little faith

Something tells me if they want to, they can fix it. Eventually.

I saw this e-mail on my phone this morning, and my first thought was "Sounds pretty sweet... so I bet it's not real". Then I came in and saw this headline before I even remembered it. Oh well... kat.ph is everything Demonoid was, maybe more.

Seriously, I've never heard of Cinedigm in my life. But, after reading that quote I'll be keeping a close eye on their releases and I'll be patronizing them as they release material I like for a while. The fact that he's chief marketing officer isn't lost on me--he made that quote to win a crowd I (must) belong to over...but whatever. It worked.

True on this list of voice actor's net worth I see a lot of Futurama people. But, I also notice the people from Futurama have more of a portfolio of voice characters that would explain how they have so much money, and they're also trumped by people who only do less varied work. I'm undecided.

The problem is those moments were few and far between. I'm not saying the guy needs to do more mathematical proofs, but the show had a lot of content that was kind of "Ow my balls" class. An example that come to mind is Amy showing up dressed in bondage gear...basically just for the purposes of portraying a scantily-clad woman for a few seconds.

Agreed. When they were brought back suddenly they became all about making modern-day topical jokes (about Lady Gaga, Twitter, etc.) and throwing the whole "it's the year 3001" bit out the window. Plus, after Leela banged Zap Brannigan, again, willfully...something was just lost. In the sexing-up of the characters was another huge detraction.

All that to say, I bet if it had been brought back on Adult Swim, things would have been different.

Yeah I wouldn't mind that one bit. Maybe this would be a different matter, but a couple years ago I almost wasn't given a job because the background check company flagged me as having a criminal record. The person had the same first and last name (but not middle), and birthday (but different year) as me but I was held up for a month and the owner almost moved on to different candidates because of this. It took very little to flag me as a crook, but the burden of proof then fell on my shoulder to exonerate myself with LexisNexus, for some guy's crime over a thousand miles from where I live.

It's interesting, when I was trying explain Bitcoins to someone when I was first interested in them, they told me to look up tulip bulb prices in the 1600s as a parallel to what they thought Bitcoins would turn out to be. At $90 a "coin" it has reached the point where all it's missing is the *pop* and we can add it to the list.

You make some good points, but all I could think of when I read that line was Homer using a gun to shoot open his beer can.

Self-proclaimed? Nope.

Lamps, dog food, and records aren't currency, but if someone broke in your house stole them from you it would still be a crime.

I don't think anyone who spells out "Slashdot" rather than typing"/." (you know because then the website would be http:///..com. The whole joke behind why this site is called what it is) is in a position to comment on how far it's fallen. I also don't see how the person who submitted the article explaining the simplest concept in the summary but not the more advanced ones is anything more than curious/funny. Hardly something to read into about the site as a whole.

If Minority Report really is behind this wave of interfaces, then how long before I can get a Pip-Boy? Or, Leela's arm computer thingy.

Sorry, just picked up Skyrim again after almost a year. But, if your point is that at one point in time, very far off, these two 'hunks of rock' may have been attached then I suppose you're correct. I mean, if the Big Bang was an explosion of matter in space (at one point in time), these hunks of rock may have been very close to the matter that makes up yours or my body at one point. However, I'll trust NASA if they say that for our purposes, that on a smaller timescale, these two have nothing to do with each other.
