Comment Tried It (Score 1) 94

I did a Rust video tutorial some years back. I was immediately put off by it early on, when the tutorial produced 'Hello World' program was stupidly large in its binary output size, even when stripped. The educator had made mention of its size, but moved on, stating; 'Oh, that's just how things are now.' I hated that outlook.

Just got back from watching it, submitting the story before I did.

Overall, I was very impressed with it. When seeing the first teaser, I’ve got to say, the eyes of the lead was a bit much, but coming back from seeing the entire film, they ended up blending in very well, not at all being the distraction I thought they could be.

From the current review score, expected a generic Sci-Fi movie, but it surpassed my expectations, having good characters, story, setting, and action. Due to the nature of the story, had a good deal more heart to it as well.

Been a while since I’ve read it but diverts from the source material a bit, but overall, it's a faithful adaptation of the first few volumes.

I’d recommend it for any Sci-Fi fan.

Drakster writes: Hollywood Producer & Writer James Cameron, who best known for first two Terminator films, Titanic, Avatar, and Aliens, has released his most recent film this week, Alita: Battle Angel, to mostly mixed to positive reviews.

First announced in 2003, based on Yukito Kishiro’s Gunnm manga series, it was stuck in development for several years, finally starting production in 2008.

Slashdot last discussed this fifteen years ago, so now that it’s finally here, for those who have seen it, what did you think? Met your or surpassed your expectations, or not worth the wait?

Call me crazy, but I have a (morbid?) fascination of giving George Lucas a budget, isolating him from the fan community and press, and simply leaving him to his own devices to produce the Star Wars movies he visions.

Judging by the changes he's made to them already, I wouldn't expect them to be good, but nonetheless, it would certainly be interesting to see.

I feel that the real problem that allows spam to thrive is due to the horrible protocol that's used. Sure, with improvements like SPF, DKIM, and the like, it's a lot better, however I feel we need to move to a more modern protocol.

Anything with a form of proof of work should cut down spam drastically. After users have confirmed legitimate mail from that MTA, allow an exception to be made, preventing the proof of work, or at least a more intensive version.
