It's funny to think that back in 1959 the Soviets would have sacrificed lives to get their hands on this. Also one of the cartoons has the plane running into Icarus? Somebody read the manual and find out if you're either a) not supposed to fly too close to the sun or, b) when an altitude, instead of birds getting…

My first thought was, "That seems like a pretty broad statement to make," then I realized that you were speaking about one of my favorite books.

Not so much pretentious and horrible as fascinating and maybe a little disturbing, as in, could I kill my FB account if it really helped that much? I'm not sure I could.

For some reason this reminds me of old Star Trek episodes where the computer would get possessed or turn evil or whatever and they had to give it a problem it couldn't solve. I can hear the old computer voice in my head..."Working...working...does not compute!"

I did not know that, but suspicion of something like that is what's kept me from using them. TNSTAFL (there's no such thing as a free lunch)

This is totally fine. We need people to work in our McDonalds and Wal-Marts, and I'm pretty sure this education will qualify them to do that.

That comment = funnier than either of those whole movies would be

The phrase "kill it with fire" is cliched by now, which is unfortunate because it's never been more appropriate.

That is not opinion sir, that is fact.

LOL someone gets it!

Complex code/instructions can be typed in in a few short keystrokes on proprietary systems that the hacker is intimately familiar with despite never having seen*. "I just need to enter the mainframe [click click RETURN] and route the auxiliary power supply into the backup system [click click click RETURN]."

If anyone could finally pull it off, it would be Darth Vader.

Alright, then all the Death Star has to do is warp to a system that has a red sun, I'm pretty sure that would stop him in his tracks. Or send Vader out to get some Kryptonite pretty sure he could manage that.

Duh, the Death Star. All it has to do is sail far away from any yellow sun and Supes is powerless. Out the airlock you go!

Why does he need Smurfs anyway, if he can create his own tiny and less cloying creatures from scratch? I'm overthinking this, aren't I.

So gonna try this, thanks!

Ha! I'm not the only one, then.

Smaug sounds just like Jabba the Hutt

I saw it yesterday, fully expecting to be terribly disappointed. I had been so looking forward to it from back in the day when we weren't even sure it would get made, but the bad press convinced me that I was in for a disappointment in the style of the Dark Knight Returns...not a terrible movie but not the amazing…

No lie that would be effin' cool.
