I can't take this anymore. I'm sorry but I swear that I lose brain cells every time I read one of Quest For Glory Fan's or Father Ghostface's or Alias's posts. I used to enjoy posting things here and reading the funny or informative or gently insulting responses. Maybe I'm just getting intolerant in...

I thought the new Batmobile was one of the neatest things in the movie. I don't think that it's so iconic that it can't be changed, like the murder scene that Kurdt mentioned. It's been more than ten years since I last bought a Batman comic and I have no idea what the old Batmobile looked like. For ...

Please Kurdt, don't lump me together with QFG Fan. That kid acts like he's about 12 years old. I think he's giving my country a bad name. :p Canada has hosted the summer olympics once (Montreal, 1976) and the winter olympics once (Calgary, 1988). Also, Vancouver was chosen to host the 2010 winter ga...

Kurdt wrote:... Christopher Nolan sat the entire cast and crew down and watched Blade Runner. Afterwards, Nolan said, "This is how we're going to make Batman." So I'm sure if he's reading this post, you just made his day.

Even Rutger Hauer? I'm pretty sure he's already seen Blade Runner.

Da_Elf: I'm now pretty sure the answer to your question is "yes". It seems that since he got out of jail Mitnick has started his own security consulting company. That probably means he can use electronic devices. :) Hell, I'd probably hire him if I had some top secret corporate data to pro...

He was forbidden from using electronic devices? I didn't know that. It stands to reason, though, given his record.

HOLY SHIT!!! I started this thread hoping to get some good geek-related discussions going, possibly related to the What The Hack conference, and what I see is the occasional funny and/or geeky post with a bunch of FRIGGIN' CHILDREN making FRIGGIN' INNANE ONE-LINE POSTS!!! OMGWTF!!! STFU!!!!!!

Does that means there aren't any sonar-type devices that can summon a swarm of bats at a moment's notice? Damn! There goes my idea for next year's Halloween display.

I hate the fact that if anything having remotely to do with American tradition or happenings or sporting events is said here that I have to read at least 3 posts of people bashing America simply because "*gasp!* They're Americans! They drink watered-down beer and play bastardized sports and th...

Batman Begins was awesome! I've been waiting to see this movie for a long time, though I didn't know it until it was over. I always thought the first movie by Tim Burton was the best, but after seeing Batman Begins I realised that Burton's film didn't delve deeply enough into the mind of Bruce Wayne...

If you mean me, I wasn't trying to interpret your message. I was just responding to LucasFan.

Well said LucasFan, but I'd go even further. I'd say that not only is war never the answer, in this case it's completely meaningless. Victories in the "war on terror" or in Iraq are completely meaningless. Last night I watched a documentary on the nature of al-Qaeda jointly produced by the...

London rarely experiences attacks like these, that is why there is such a controversy about it. These are not my words though, this is the media approach to it. Today, you saw alot of new casts and every channel was broadcasting information about this attack. When something as big as this happens i...

It looks like it's not suspected anymore. Tony Blair said that they were, in fact, acts of terrorism and a terrorist organisation has taken responsibility.

*shudder* His name is Jacques Chirac!

Um, Blackthorne, did you really mean to post that?

Ok! I'm in the middle of converting Game Quest from .doc files to actual book pages. I think I can answer this one! ;) You write stories on a computer? Ugh! I could never do that. I feel incredibly un-creative when I have to type things onto a screen. Anyway, about Charlemagne's concerns, I'd just ...

Please forgive me for saying this, but I think you're a very odd individual, El_Listo.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that you're not from Britain.

El_Listo wrote:Continue arguing about that, it's interesting.

That's quite a directive, El_Listo. Since you suggested it, perhaps you should be the one to start up the discussion again.

Actually I have. I used to visit a comics/gaming store when I lived closer to Toronto. The guy who ran it looked exactly (and I mean exactly ) like the Comic Book Store Guy from the Simpsons. The first time I went in I had to leave quickly with my hand over my mouth so he wouldn't see me laughing. B...

Either way, I'm not nerdy enough to survive in that showerless pocket-protector haven. I'd die of noxious air poisoning about 3 steps into either tent. All of the beer in the world couldn't medicate me enough for something that colossally and overwhelmingly pantywaist. *shudder emoticon* Didn't you...

Charlemagne, I would have nothing against geeks/nerds joining up to talk about stuff, but unless they're the good kind of hackers (hacking into a program to make it better) I dispise hackers. Imagine 1000 of them together, with all that nerdinagy they have they could rule the world, or the internet...

What's scary? Geeks/hackers or the fact that they occasionally gather in one place to talk about stuff? There are lots of other conferences besides this one, you know. This just happens to be a really big one.

Let's face it: this forum has some pretty geeky members, and for those who don't know about it, the What The Hack hacker conference/geekfest is happening at the end of this month. You don't actually have to be a hacker to attend, you can just go to take in the presentations, meet people from differe...
