I love that C-Spin is so honest, and thoroughly defend the right to state contrary opinions.

I found Firefly to be a little tedious. So there you go.

We're all so ... secretly bad.

Lord of the Rings, be it books or films, bores me.

If we go back to network intrusion, this can be performed remotely and silently from a territory which does not uphold the law as it applies in the target country. Any fallout, if discovered in the first place, would be diplomatic. This is a very different scenario than physically accessing a location on foreign soil. We have lots of experience in building walls and employing guards, not as much defending from something we can't see.

There's a perception that cyber warfare is just about shutting down systems and blowing things up, where as it appears a far bigger concern is information gathering. There is history of this occurring at a corportate level, and I believe this has also been documented from within government departments.

When was the last time we were at war with a technologically advanced country?

I don't care for a Clockwork Orange, Forest Gump, nor Fargo. And Kevin Smith shits me to tears.

Skyfall, celebrating 50 years of Bond, is clearly serving a large portion of fan service. And I bloody loved it because of that.

It's a film which not only progressed Bond and the new universe, but ties in many classic elements which have been put aside for many years.

Much of the argument for or against a new iMac will come down to price once it's configured with ram / drives / gfx. If we're looking at silly money, I'll just upgrade the Win 7 workstation and grab a mini as a day-to-day machine.

It's frustrating; I really hope Apple is going to surprise everyone with new Mac Pros, but I don't see the ecosystem that would warrant them any more.

They're still charging silly money for the Mac Pro, surely those units aren't shifting. The new Macbook Pro ad is telling; the tag line "for the pro in all of us" is aimed right at the prosumer market.
