I don't think this is a particulary good analogy as vegi's don't eat meat, so if you eat meat then surely you are closer to being a cannibal than someone who doesn't eat meat???

Comment The general consensus.... (Score 1) 820

Having never really been into Star Trek (Expecting incoming).. and have always been more of a Star Wars fan myself, prior to going to see this film I was dubious as to whether or not I would enjoy it. After the first 3 minutes I thought "This could be a really good film". I can't remember time passing whilst I was in the cinema as I was too engrossed in the film. At the end I was asking myself where the time had gone and wondering if they are going to be making any more. The answer to which I have to say I hope not. The reason I say I hope they don't make any more is that I believe that they have made an excellent film and I would love to see them make another one of the same quality or better (maybe they will prove me wrong) but I doubt they will (and I hope they can) at least not for a while.

The casting was well done and the cinematography was excellent. All in all a well paced, well made film that will appeal to (most) Trekies and newcomers to the franchise.

For once the hype they have placed on a film has been worth it and (for me) it was worth the £7.50 I paid.

I haven't heard a bad word said about this film so far, but no doubt I will from some fanboi complaining about the layout engine room (which I thought was better) or something the like. All I can say to these people is get over yourselves.

All in all I hope everyone has as much fun as I did when I went to see this film.

Ok.. Let the flaming commence!

Comment I cocked up! (Score 1) 834

Back in 1998 instead of listening to my lectures at college I decided that I wanted to go to University and get a CS degree. This was a foolish move as I could have made mega money on the Y2K crisis. I ended up leaving uni just as the bottom was falling out of the UK IT market. What I should have done is got the work experience and then gone to uni when the IT market fell after 2000. That said you are currently in the reverse of the situation I found myself in. If you can do both you are on a winner. If I could only choose one I would go for the Masters. That said I am not you. What is right for one person isn't right for another. Good luck what ever you choose.

The difference is that Ubuntu works fine on my computer from 2001. AMD 64 3500 Processer 1.5gb ram It runs great. I Admit the PSU fan is on the way out (Actually I have replaced it already)... Other than that not a problem. I can even run XP in VMware without too many problems.
