Superbowl XXXVII

So, if you're a good, patriotic American, you're certainly watching the Superbowl right about now. The dot-com ads should be pretty much absent this year, but perhaps there will be something more interesting than ads for recycled movies. Maybe even the game will be worth watching. :) Update: 01/27 17:02 GMT by T : Chardish writes "If you didn't catch the trailer for The Matrix: Reloaded on the Superbowl last night, it's now available for download."

Re:Forgive the obvious question...

[BrookHarty]

But what in the world is this doing on Slashdot? This is "News for Nerds," folks. I see more than enough Super Bowl coverage on CNN, MSNBC, and all the other commercial news sites.

In the last few years, we always talked about the .com commercials on slashdot. Even followed up by links with Commericals for download. You dont get that on CNN.

BTW, Only .com I see was monster.com, fedex isnt really a .com.

Hi, Troll or good-natured but misinformed person.

Do you have any other questions?

Re:The Matrix

[Warin]

Actually they filmed two and three together, and they will both release this year. My bet is that they are already 'in the can' and ready for release other than minor tweaks.

Re:No.

Ah, bullshit. The parent was overboard with the "Americans == Nazi's" remark, although I understand his frustration with the phrase, but your mindless defense lacks any sort of truth as well. We may not have legally annexed any territory since 1898, but we certainly have controlled it with military might, and American corporations have made money off of it. Look at our history in Central America, where US lives and money were spent keeping dicatators in power to ensure profits for Dole.

The world does okay WITHOUT America sometimes, too you know. And we hardly do anything out of altruism - for fucks sake, all those billions to kick the Taliban out of Afghanistan are payback for all the billions we spent helping them in in the first place.

Good Book

[NetJunkie]

For those that think football is a boring or stupid sport, go check out Joe Theisman's Idiot's Guide to Football. It's a great book that covers the game and will show you how deep the game is. It'll turn it from two teams running in to each other in to an offensive strategy going against a defensive strategy. More like a good fight.

Well worth checking out. It'll also help your Madden 2K3 or NFL2K3 game against your friends. :)

Re:Commercials online?

[ibennetch]

Anyone know of a website where the commercials will be? It's really the only part of the Superbowl I'm interested in.

Yeah; AOL just ran an ad that they'll have the commercials avalible on their web site [aol.com].

Re:Not to be a troll here but...

[Chasuk]

Not really.

I don't believe in God or Gods, and in fact quite strongly disbelieve in his/her/their existance, but the possibility remains that he/she/they exist, despite my disbelief.

An atheist believes that it is possible to KNOW that God does NOT exist.

A theist believes that it is possible to KNOW that God DOES exist.

An agnostic believes that it is impossible to know.

This definition was first explicated by Betrand Russell's, and I am fond of it.

The definitions are contradictory if taken literally, but most Christians tell me that I will burn in hell whether I call myself an atheist or an agnostic, for both guarantee my damnation. Oh, well. So I am pragmatic about it; while I KNOW that he/she/they do not exist, I realize that I really know nothing of the sort, which leads me to technical agnosticism, but with an atheists soul (except that I don't beleive in the soul...). :-)

Yeah, that has to be the best Super Bowl commercial this year. What's even better is that Reebock has a 4-minute version of the commmercial on their website [reebok.com]. From the looks of it, they're starting a whole ad campaign with him...

Matrix 2 & 3 teaser trailer, Quicktime and MPE

[Gridle]

It's downloadable here:

• Quicktime version [aol.com]
• MPEG-1 version [130.233.18.89]

Although the MPEG-1 version is re-encoded from the Quicktime version, it's significantly better because the Quicktime version is encoded at 30 fps whereas the original is 24 fps. Every fifth frame is a duplicate, resulting in jerky motion in the Quicktime version. The MPEG-1 version does not suffer from this defect.

Mirrors for the MPEG-1 version are needed urgently.
