1,000 | I feel the same, but you have to take into account the fact that Money began side two of the vinyl, which was the predominant format at the time of release, and that changes things. It doesn't simply follow The Great Gig in the Sky. I agree it doesn't have the same trippy feeling as the rest of the album and have always found it an easy one to skip over. You are not alone. | Oh damn, I never thought of that. Yeah its a pretty good song to start with. |
1,001 | As a librarian, I am eternally grateful that Mr. Gaiman uses his influence as a popular author to promote libraries. Working in an area that doesn't necessarily care about education, we can use all of the positive influence we can get. | Librarians are awesome! For a lot of reasons, including that librarians tend to be on the forefront of a lot of civil rights issues. (Other reasons, too!) So, thanks for being a librarian! |
1,002 | I've seen pretty much all of these but absolutely loathe The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. It was so boring and so unfunny it felt like work to watch it. But I know I disagree with most people on that one. Also, Gone Baby Gone was more mediocre, in my opinion. The Game was amazing the first time I saw it. Did not see that ending at all. | I really can't fault you for not liking the Life Aquatic. Even if you're a Wes Anderson fan, it seems like you either think it's one of his best films, or his absolute worst. Even for him, it is dry, probably some of the driest comedy I've ever seen. Personally, I love it. I love the sense of humor, and Bill Murray's performance is astounding. The scene at the end of the movie, when Zissou says "I wonder if it remembers me" is one of my favorite scenes of all time. And I have to agree that The Game is phenomenal. |
1,003 | > How has music strayed so far from telling stories? What do you mean by this? | I guess I just feel that songs used to be more about telling more meaningful stories than they do now. Just a personal opinion. |
1,004 | im on windows 7 and the notification hasnt changed. do you any of you have any idea if my upgrade can be 64 bit? my current W7 is 32. | What architecture is your processor? Press Windows and the Pause break key and you'll find your answer in there |
1,005 | He did a great job finishing the wheel of time series! | Judging by the ellipse, I'm guessing you're being sarcastic? I loved the job he did in finishing the Wheel of Time, his three books are some of my favorites in the series. |
1,006 | I think he's talking more about how you can make a very violent movie and have it be rated PG-13. But add some profanity or nudity/simulated sex and you'll get bumped up to an R rating. Or he's talking about how parents will sometimes freak out if their kid watches a sex scene, but won't bat an eye if that same kid sees someone get decapitated. I actually witnessed that in *Deadpool*. Grandma showed up with her 8 year old grandkid and sat in the row in front of me. She reached over and covered his eyes during the nude scenes, but didn't care if he saw the violent fight scenes. | A grandmother brought an 8 years old to see an R rated Deadpool? In the parents situation you mentioned, I can see where they'd be coming from. A kid is much more likely to wanna go try some sex shit they see than wanna go out and cut a guys head off for reals. |
1,007 | do you really think his *graffiti* is pretentious? or do you dislike it because it has become popular with celebs and hipsters? | Oh my bad for that misspelling. Yes, I really do think it's pretentious. |
1,008 | Wait, what are you referring to? I think I'm missing a step here. | Yeah not sure about this either. Better example would probably be RDJ in Iron Man. Dude was off his rocker when they cast him. |
1,009 | They're a Los Angeles area pizza chain called Big Mama and Papa's. They're home to a 36" pizza that must be delivered by a car with a cage on top because it won't fit in a normal sized car. I've ordered from them quite a few times. Not bad. | They also have a deep dish pizza called "the Mafia cake" |
1,010 | It's very common for women to abuse the system to get at people, I had a ex who would threaten rape against me when she was angry. And women blackmail men who cheat all the time, it just happened to Kevin Hart. | But what about the other way around? There are so many predators that get away with it for years |
1,011 | The show is just different imo. It glorifies violence way more. A lot of people like the books more, the show has some serious problems. | I don’t think the show is great. I think it’s ok. I’ve read 70% of the books. Care to explain in more depth? Unlike many redditors I’m here to learn. I simply cannot understand why anyone looking at the books vs the show would prefer the books. “Glorifies violence” doesnt mean anything verifiable to me after both reading and watching. Saying depicts violence means a lot... (Unless you’re advocating the Hitchcock-like style of leaving the action to the imagination?) |
1,012 | Summary: * Unlocked N6 at $649 - no one can confuse with cheap. * Snapdragon 805 * 4 (2.7 * 4 GHz) Processor; * 1440x2560 @493ppi display; * 3220 mAH battery; * 13 MP Cam; * Adreno 420 GPU and. * 32/64 GB storage. * running Android 5.0 Lollipop. No point buying it, except when you are a Google fanboy. | And I am a hardcore Google fanboy, so this is probably my next device. |
1,013 | It seems like as many people went to see the movie for the new 3D experience as the movie itself. I haven't really appreciated a Cameron movie though since The Abyss so I'm probably in the minority of people that aren't excited at all about this. I take that back. I liked True Lies. | I actually doubt you're in the minority. I don't expect this film to flop unless the reviews are very bad which is a possibility, given that most critics seemed more impressed with the effects of the film than it's story or characters. They might not be so easily wowed a second time. Here's a fun exercise: name one character from Avatar? I seriously can't. I could describe them, but not name any, and I don't think most people who saw it could, which is an oddity for a major blockbuster. |
1,014 | I love Blood Money and Alice... so many great lines in [Misery's the River of the World] I especially like "there's always free cheddar in a mousetrap baby" from [God's Away on Business] | Did you ever get to hear the bootleg of Tom Waits' original recordings of Alice? Haunting awesomeness. No One Knows I'm Gone and the title track have such raw, emotional punch. If you don't know it, it is worth tracking down. The story I heard was the tapes were stolen from a private studio. A very shitty thing, of course. But they then surfaced on newsgroups and the nascent file sharing world on the internet. It's a rare insight into a more stripped-down, raw & I even want to say emotional presentation of him and his sound. |
1,015 | That one is probably the next one I'm going to pick up by him. | Read Mother Night after. I've read 7 of his books (Galapagos is not one of those) and it's my favorite so far |
1,016 | Wireless is a game-changing technology. It's slower, less reliable and less secure, but it's wireless. What's the issue with wireless? The only devices Apple removed wired networking from are laptops, and they're the computer's that benefit most from wireless. My laptop hasn't got ~~wireless~~ wired, and it's annoying very occasionally, but not often enough that I've bought the adapter. If they remove it from the desktops or the Apple TV, I'd get the complaint. But wireless as a whole is fucking amazing. | I take your point about wireless networking. Its worth the trade off where mobility is the important factor. |
1,017 | >Also, the theater experience will always be 10000x better than watching it from your couch. Are you on crack? | I rather go out than stay in a couch like a lazy ass. Can I get IMAX in my home? Absolutely fucking not |
1,018 | I can't believe Mike from RLM, who loves schlock, looks so negatively upon ID4. It's some of the best schlock ever made. | They have been looking a bit tired in their recent videos. |
1,019 | Question: is your family doing anything to preserve it? It's an absolutely beautiful book and has so much family history. It looks like there are photographs in there too? I'm a [student] book and paper conservator :) | Not really, I found it in an old chest wrapped in saran wrap. |
1,020 | You're clueless. The fine isn't against Android. It's against Google using leverage on device makers that use Android. If Google were to comply, Android as a whole would be improved. You have the same antitrust laws in the US by the way. | Yes the fine is against Google. Did I say otherwise? Android is not a company. Google gives Android away for free. Google has hinted this morning they will just charge a license fee which makes perfect sense. I just hope EU only. I am in the US and do not want our phones increasing in price. No we actually do not. Our law is based on harm to the consumer. As long as the iPhone is more than an Android phone you can't make a case of harm to the consumer. |
1,021 | I just don't know how many people will seek out a 70mm projection that's 3.5 hours long and not know what they are getting into. Especially if there are only 100 screens. | Do you know where I can see the closest one playing near me is? |
1,022 | **Mostly Harmless, by Douglas Adams** I finished **So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish** and **Young Zaphod Plays It Safe** over the weekend. I was sort of disappointed with Fish because it just didn't feel the same as the Guide or Restaurant. I read about how Adams had felt rushed writing it and it definitely reflects. I'm hoping Harmless wraps up the series in a more fulfilling way! I missed Zaphod, Ford Prefect, Trillian, and Marvin! | It absolutely wraps up the series perfectly. I sat on the couch after finishing it, just staring off into space for 10 or so minutes, just...allowing closure to happen. Whatever you do, do NOT read "...And another thing" by Eoin Colfer. It undoes all the closure of Harmless and every character is the most unlikable version of themselves. I rage quit it. Twice. |
1,023 | They were like the first ones doing that now cliche'd sound though in alternative music and they don't really do it anymore, it went from indie bands taking Pavement's Chorus to bands taking Arcade Fire's Chorus. | If you describe your music as "soaring", I'm going to knee-jerk hate it. I can totally appreciate their musical chops, I just don't think it's fun to listen to. Which is important in music, I think. |
1,024 | Meh, just buy it again... I'm on my fifth copy. Never expect borrowed books to be returned | Update: my friend gave it back to me. I've started reading it again :) |
1,025 | No metal expert but if you trace its genesis in part to Black Sabbath I'd say there. Edit: example - "Satan, laughing, spreads his wings...Oh lord, yeah!" from War Pigs | Yea, they also had an upside down cross on their first album which am led to believe was a printing mistake |
1,026 | [Elliott Smith - Twilight] The most emotionally charged song I can think of. Beautiful, but it just hurts to listen for me. | This was the favorite song of a girl I was in love with who died of a heroin overdose. I usually can not listen to it without breaking down. Even here at my desk at work I just shed a tear. |
1,027 | Edward Norton for sure, very under-rated actor. I can't say I have ever turned down a movie with Natalie in it, but I kinda wish ep1-3 didn't exist. | While I understand completely about Ep. 1-3, they are not her fault. I would have gladly signed up to be in those films before I knew anything about them as well, and she could only do so much with what was given to her. I blame Hayden Christensen. |
1,028 | To me 5 is the self reboot of the franchise to make it what it is now, it worth a watch, 6 was good too, 7 is the least polished and fun one, only be a big hit because of the Paul matter. I'm going to hell for this but Universal hit a jackpot with dude's death. | Don't get me wrong Dark Knight was a good movie, but Heath dying was probably why it made so much. After all people were blaming the Joker role for killing him and they wanted to see what the hell. |
1,029 | The more solid the proof, the better, thanks for the news, but get anything more solid if possible like a picture of a box or tag or something. Hype mode is ineltensifying but I'm cautious. | Why am I not surprised that someone with the word Blaze in their username would take "I heard this from a guy" as "solid proof." |
1,030 | **This Book Is Full Of Spiders, by David Wong** An okay sequel to the popular John Dies At The End. I like the funny parts, but both books often fail to make the story itself engaging. I'm basically just reading for the occasional times the two main dudes make me chuckle. **Warbreaker, by Brandon Sanderson** This book was amazing. I would say I enjoyed it more than the Stormlight Chronicles. It's also the only time Sanderson has done a good job writing female characters and romance plots IMO. Now reading: **Orphans book 1: Origins, by Mike Evans** and **Wheel Of Time book 6: The Something of Something, by Robert Jordan**. | > Wheel Of Time book 6: The Something of Something. Soo true. |
1,031 | Crazy Cool ! But still just a video on a screen. Can't wait for 'real' AR to come with magic leap / holo lens! btw check out the books : ready player one AND daemon if you are into this kind of things | Are you talking about Daemon by Daniel Suarez? If so that book is amazing. If not, that book is still amazing. |
1,032 | On a related note, could we not abbreviate rest in peace unless it's actually necessary, I mean the reason people do it on graves is because it's expensive but it's hardly expensive to spend five seconds longer at your key board. | Although it does give way for relatively humorous posts that you see here from people who don't know what RIP means, then follows it up with "in peace" |
1,033 | Asked for it, got told no flat out not for any price and then used it anyway | I'm not sure but I would assume it happened the other way around. Made the song, asked for permission to release the song. Then got told no. |
1,034 | I have seriously never lost or had pieces missing while assembling IKEA furniture. It's always the unnerving extra pieces I find... > Are you sure we weren't meant to use this screw somewhere? | Am I the only one that checks inventory before starting an IKEA build? |
1,035 | Well, how would you describe that over a video message though? The Death Star is giant orb, that apart from where the weapon itself fires, pretty much all looks the same. | "It's like, on the thing. You know, the THING at the end of the PLACE?!" |
1,036 | Your edit sounds right. I wonder about how addressing would work to change targeted neurons for each action, and how you would write software for this thing. Wouldn't that add a whole lot of overhead? Unless HP figured out the equivalent of an Axon. I wonder if HP has released their simulator yet? Would be neat to know how a program would function on this thing. | They haven't afaik it probably be a few years out. I still don't understand the neural network example you are talking about and how it ties up with the memristor can you ELI15? I understand the memristor would be like a really fast SSD but not sure how that can help in simulating neural networks (Software engineer here) |
1,037 | Sandman is the best thing Gaiman has ever written. It transcended the genre, showed us comics can be amazing visual literature while still keeping the elements of fantasy, mythology and horror within a world of superheros and gods. It's humane and personal while being epic in scope. Incredibly tragic and hopeful and many of the pages will be unforgettable. The protagnist is deeply flawed and much of the series is him trying to right his wrongs. It's a truly beautiful and meaningful comic book. | > Incredibly tragic and hopeful and many of the pages will be unforgettable. "I believed in miracles. I didn't have any choice." Those double spreads form World's End make me shiver by only thinking about them. |
1,038 | I've seen both and can say indefatigably that Seth Rogen's performance is leagues away from Segal's. Only one of them belongs in the Oscar conversation. And it's the one who plays with puppets and shows his dick. | Yeah while I'd say it's some of the best work Rogen has done, that's not really saying too much. It was definitely not an awards worthy performance. |
1,039 | "Tons of encryption implementors" should be replaced with "programmers who have never taken a cryptography course". I guess my point is that 2nd rate malware developers are no metric by which to measure difficulty of implementing working crypto. | See my other comment. There are innumerable examples of heavily relied on crypto systems being vulnerable to attack. Also, I am not saying AES sucks. |
1,040 | The first half is good, sort of unravels towards the end though. | I agree, but the final track on the album is killer. |
1,041 | Nynaeve in the wheel of time series. She's, bullish, childish, and frustrating. She can go right to hell | Eh. She's got good reasons for acting that way at the start of the series. Nobody takes her seriously as Wisdom and she overcompensates in an attempt to project a more adult and experienced image. |
1,042 | My favorite genre, and favorite type of movie! Agreed with Alien and The Thing (Carpenter's) - quite possibly my favorite horror movies of all time. Se7en deserves a spot on this list! And as much as I hate all his later work, Shamalama's The Sixth Sense was really good. I liked Cloverfield for the same reasons as many people liked Alien - the "reveal" was not too over-the-top, and we're left with no real reason or sense of hope. For that matter, Blair Witch Project too, and kind of related - For later films, I think the ending of "The Last Exorcism" took me by surprise. | Upvoting for Se7en -- it's a real shame that the voiceover at the end was added, though. Originally, the film ended with [the gunshot to John Doe's head](/spoiler), but the studio deemed it too abrupt/dark and added the voiceover. Nevertheless, one of the great/most horrific endings of all time - I love when a film manages to terrify you with an idea or realization rather than an image. |
1,043 | GM is painfully slow on my phone. i literally waste a solid 10 seconds between tapping the icon and waiting to it to load ~~FUCKING EVERYTHING ON THE ENTIRE INTERNET~~ street names and history and restaurants and Walmart locations before it registers the tap on the search bar, which takes another 3 to 5 seconds to respond. Now sure, it sounds like 'oh a few seconds boo hoo" ... except my devices can do it essentially instantly on other apps. But for some reason Google Maps on Google Android is the slowest of them all. Does anyone else find that, oh i dont know, pathetic as all hell? | Works great on the iPhone, much faster than on my galaxy s9. |
1,044 | Yet Satanism *is* Christianity, just centered around a different deity. | Not true at all. Satanism "worships" Lucifer in the sense that they see him as the metaphorical and symbolic embodiment of their principles. Lucifer rejected the divine and believed that he alone could find happiness and true power without the need for God. They don't literally believe in a red, horned, goat man who lives in an underground temple, like Christians typically do. I believe that modern Satanism teaches a form of secular humanism, which is absolutely not the beliefs of any form of Christianity I know of. |
1,045 | I don't hold my iPhone SE and think, "man if only this were thinner an lighter." Most people would rather have good batteries than thinner phones. | I can't stand how much thinner the 6S is compared to the SE. Gimme some of that sweet battery life instead of making it easier to drop. |
1,046 | If you enjoyed the movie that's fantastic, but I might be one of the only people on Reddit who thought that movie was just mediocre. | I don't understand the love for this movie, either. It was a good idea, but execution was poor. |
1,047 | Man, that made me wonder if Katie McGrath had been dating Colin Treverrow and broke up with him during filming. | It's because she's Morgana and had to pay for her crimes in *Merlin*. |
1,048 | Before they were supposed to be a single book, books 4 & 5 were not supposed to exist. There was going to be a large time skip approximately picking up peoples stories during and after book 5. | I thought it was a bigger leap in time than that, but I could be wrong. Either way, I'd read GRRM realized he was spending so much time filling the backstories of what happened to everyone in that gap that he might as well just write the full stories. I've also read many times that ASoIaF was originally supposed to be a trilogy. I wonder where it would have cut off, or how it would have been different if he hadn't added more. When did he realize the series would need to more than double in size? It also makes me wonder if these next two books will really be the final two. |
1,049 | That's absolutely awesome. On a related note, do you know the programmer that thought it would be good idea to have a unskippable 10 second celebration clip after every goal in Fifa 11? If so please make them aware I will one day hunt them down and drive a knife through their heart. | That fucking running aimlessly to the goal net with your arms spread... damn programmers at least make a combo to enact a barrel roll. |
1,050 | Not in the way you're thinking about it. Current mining is proof of work so the mine reward is the reward for doing a task, in this case doing a cryptographic puzzle. In true proof of stake coins are minted (in the treasury sense of the word) rather than mined, and the block generation is determined by an individuals amount of coin -- their stake | Who gives out the coins? Are they generated peer-to-peer somehow? |
1,051 | Absolutely, I think every child should try them, the more you use them the better they get, so the sooner you start the better the experience. ~ Joe Camel | You don't think we know more about it now than we did then? The main components of ejuice have been used in hospital air filtration systems, inhalers and food for 50 years. The nicotine isn't what kills you it's the tar. Should non smokers use them? No. Should you be smart enough to realize harm reduction for existing smokers should be encouraged? Fuck yes. |
1,052 | The girl with all the gifts by Mike Carey. | oohh I've been wanting to pick that one up! Glad its a good one. |
1,053 | Didn't Sony have this with their higher-end notebooks back in 2011/12, except it was limited to only one type of card? | Many companies have had various versions of this. utilizing multiple usb ports and a second monitor. But yes I think the earliest was 2010/2011 |
1,054 | I thought they were working on one being as they were touring together again | Yes but I said Francis/Deal. Kim Deal got kicked out in 2013 |
1,055 | i saw jeff mangum last year. he played the song 'little birds' and opened it by saying he doesn't perform it very much because it's a pretty emotional experience. after he was done, he said 'does everyone feel happy now?!' and the crowd screamed 'YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!' jeff was disheartened by it and phoned in the next song or two. | See that's what scares me....part of me is doubtful I'll even get to see him, I feel like something could just make him snap and end the tour. That would really suck. Are you a big fan or not so much? Jeff is supposed to be phenomenal live |
1,056 | > If anything I see a lot of blending of guitar solos and rappers. Err, what? | Meaning I see songs where there are solos AND someone rapping over the song. Like Dappy's 'RockStar' Outkast had lots of solos in their stuff back in the day, and Slash is on a lot of records that have rappers too. |
1,057 | I've seen short films that were extremely moving and genuine. This wasn't one. Lots of crap films have won Oscars, not sure if you're putting that forth as a supporting argument but if so I'll remind you that Shrek also won the Oscar once. | I fucking loved Shrek. It's not like Shrek was trying to be the next Citizen Kane. Take it for what it was. |
1,058 | Blimey! That really is incredible. Is she still active? Definitely, that's kind of what I've been saying about how he made it his, so much so that it's pretty much two separate songs and it's brilliant. :) totally, he crafted it into an even better piece of music. | I think she is (well, at least she's not dead yet) True story: I have a friend, Carol Lastname. She married a guy, Firstname King. So now she's Carol King. The funny/weird thing is, they. (Carole and Carol) could be twins, or at least sisters, they look so much alike, especially so now they are both 50+. It's almost creepy. >Definitely, that's kind of what I've been saying about how he made it his, so much so that it's pretty much two separate songs and it's brilliant. :) totally, he crafted it into an even better piece of music. and there you go. It doesn't really matter that he didn't write it, because he did so much a better job of it than it's creator. |
1,059 | I was born in 92 and about a decade too young to get most of the references. That didn't stop me from finishing the book in 2 days though. A good story is a good story. Sure, the writing was clunky and at times felt kinda amateurish but that didn't stop me from wanting to find out what happens next. I didn't pick up the book looking for beautiful prose, I was looking for a goddamn plot. | The plot had elements, but don't you feel let down by it ultimately? The end wasn't really satisfying at all... |
1,060 | You troll me with silly attacks then you act all offended when I treat you how you treated me??? Wow you are a complete asshole. | I'm sorry did it come across like I was offended? You seriously think I get mad over an internet argument? No, sorry, we're not all like you. I'm just making fun of how pathetic you're acting is all. Let it go dude. You were wrong. Move on. |
1,061 | Good. Now we have to make damned sure Congress doesn't overturn it. Get out and vote next election, folks, and make it clear that nobody that doesn't support net neutrality stands any chance at getting into office. | I'll just be voting against the inevitable reelection of Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell :( |
1,062 | This film, and many like it, really would not get made today. It's a shame. | It is sort of weird to think that a huge smash hit mainstream comedy was made not that long ago that completely hinges on God not only existing, but the main character becoming God and answering prayers and on and on. I feel like it would be a lot harder today, not that long after, to make a non-religous-targeted comedy with religon at the forefront. |
1,063 | Check out the 76 song "Out of Gas", it samples Yann Tiersen, so you should probally like it a little bit at least, or maybe you'll hate it!!! | What song is it sampling with the cello? I don't think I've heard it. |
1,064 | I read a few of the books in high school and I don't remember the anal rape and torture part... I remember Kahlan nearly getting raped. | I don't recall anal rape, but Rand does get sexually tortured by a dominatrix in the first book. Honestly, the sexual violence was a big party of why I put the series down around the third book. |
1,065 | Upside, it was just crazy enough to get me to go read the books, and i love the books. | This, I saw the show first and then found out there was a series, and now it's one of my favorites. :) |
1,066 | Yeah, I read the book before I watched the Swedish version. The book was very unsettling for me, and that's what I loved about it. Since the movie took most of that stuff out I did not like it at all. | Ya, the book is very disturbing. I worked at a call center and the girl across from me asked to read it when I was done. I warned her it was sickening. Halfway through she stood up and told me I wasnt kidding lol. |
1,067 | No one is stopping you from using a set of digital headphones, we just don't want to be stopped from using analogue. | It will force manufacturers to upgrade if the industry moves away from analogue. I didn't hear anyone bitching about the move from VGA to DVI or HDMI. |
1,068 | *was on the internet at some point* > You can't find it anymore. Uh huh. | Lol, well if his website wasn't shut down I could link you to the shit, it was mostly about showing off stupid people + exposing shitty quasi celebrity behaviour |
1,069 | I'm gonna go ahead and call bullshit on you not knowing about mass surveillance until just now. | And I'll tell you that I genuinely did not know about this previously. It just popped into the /r/all field due to subscribing to /r/tech, and you can believe whatever you feel like (but I'll send the opinion police on your butt). |
1,070 | I could go the rest of my life without hearing a peep out of this guy and be unfazed. Why does he matter? Why does attention whoring wife matter? That kid of his will od I bet you money. | > Why does he matter? a lot of people thinks he makes dope music |
1,071 | The average new car purchase in the US is $33,000. | Right, this type of response is my point. No one has a defense for why 30k dollars is a reasonable amount of money to be throwing down on a car. The only argument that exists is basically "everyone else is doing it" |
1,072 | I'm a Turk living in America. You're probably right about how it will be viewed in Turkey as Turks can do no wrong in their mind. As a Turk I just want the facts and whatever the outcome is Turkey should face it and deal with it. Should be handled by a third party without any influence and prejudgements. | American holly wood cinema is that third party , we might view it favorably or wrong. Just depends on how much action is involved in each cut scene. Edit: /s |
1,073 | Read the novella The Mist then see the movie. See how the ending to the movie totally blows away the book. Even Stephen King admitted so. | I've never read the book but the ending of the movie got me. That was rough. |
1,074 | I love the Travelling Wilbury's, reminds me of holidays with my Dad as a kid. I miss him. | Me too dude! Same for most of Tom Petty albums! Sorry for your loss :( |
1,075 | Pointing out that what the OP is saying is exactly what every review of this film since its release has already said is being a dick? I sure hope you can manage to get all that sand out of your vagina. | so fucking what? what do you think /r/movies is about? Is Shaolin Soccer and Disney movies timely? you sound so edgy. |
1,076 | I just don't know where to start with talking about 2666, the sheer size by itself.. let alone even beginning to describe the actual contents.. I just can't.. | The Bolaño book? I was bored out of my mind and couldn’t get past the first 150 pages. For some sad reason it never connected with me. I’m glad you liked it, but I guess it’s not helpful for either of us if you tried once again to describe why you liked it, huh? :) |
1,077 | Deadpool only has an interesting superpower if you can chop bits off him and do horrible things to him, so yeah it kinda did have to be R-rated. | Did you like the test footage and want the movie to be in that vein? |
1,078 | The question that I've never seen answered with the Liberal NBN plan is how well provisioned the nodes are. The Labour nodes should be provisioned to handle every subscriber with fiber. If every subscriber replaced their copper with fiber, would the Liberal nodes be well provisioned enough to handle it still or did they downgrade that when they switched to copper? | Given they're providing VDSL they'll have fibre backhaul. That means that it'll be simply to upgrade the backhaul alleviating congestion. The real problem is that NBN charges **$17 per mbps per mo** for the ISP-NBN connection. This means ISPs can't afford to buy enough capacity. In comparison international transit costs <$20 per mbps/mo in Australia and ISP-UFB (UFB = New Zealand's NBB) is just 0.2c per mbps/mo (or 0.03c when bought in 10 gigabit increments). |
1,079 | I feel ripped off because I find most of this music boring. Something wrong with my ears? | You have a different opinion than the internet. It's okay. Just lie down and wait to die. |
1,080 | The remains to be seen, I think they've performed better than most people thought, but they have a very active and young user base and they've figured out how to generate some money out of it. Who knows what's next. | Given their last earnings call, they definitely haven't performed better than most people thought. Quite the opposite. |
1,081 | I think you're forgetting that Spotify isn't the judicial branch of a government, but a business. Normal people, generally speaking, don't like R Kellys past and current sexual assault stories. They hear his music and even if it's good, they feel like they're paying a company to perpetuate his immoral behavior. I really don't think someone hears RHCP, thinks "oh man anthony keidis did heroin though" and get turned off by the playlist. | Yeah, I understand what Spotify did, I’m just trying to have a broader conversation. It’s very easy to disown artists you don’t listen to anyway which is what is happening in this thread. Much harder to disown the Beatles despite John Lennon beating the shit out of his wives. I’m not saying there’s a right or wrong answer here, I’m certainly not the best judge of moral character. Just curious how people draw the line depending on what the particular issue is and whether or not they actively listen to the artist involved with it. |
1,082 | It's sort of a hard metric to look at though. There are a lot programmer that both know C /C++ in a very causal sense. Most programmer either through formal training or self taught have likely cut there teeth on a C , C++ , or a variant that share enough syntax that you can throw something together in a pinch in C/C++ if need be, but it's not likely to represent what they would prefer to code in. | >...variant that share enough syntax that you can throw something together in a pinch in C/C++ if need be, but it likely to represent what they would prefer to code in. Yeah, I know C#, Java, Powershell and Python. aside from basic syntax like the semicolon / whitespace thing, none of those languages would get me close to programming in C or C++ |
1,083 | He was my English professor back at ISU. I got a C. Barely. | Any stories? Was he a pretty standard teacher, or was it a unique class? |
1,084 | really, its the techno/dubstep (obviously you are well informed on electronic music) wherein all the artists are whiny and angsty? you do realize there is an entire genre of music based on being whiny and angsty, do you not? | Yes, I knew that there was an emo rock genre. Yes, it's not just the electronic artists. Yes, rappers probably whine more. |
1,085 | Or you can buy [some of these] for about $4 and install them into things as a fun DIY project. | Just because you can does not mean everyone knows how to, or cares enough to do it themselves. |
1,086 | Having a dossier on every citizen would pay dividends in absolutely every single aspect of government control. Back taxes, parking tickets, criminal investigations, silencing journalists and political opponents, etc. Unlimited knowledge about a target equals unlimited power over him or her. | Exactly. They can than begin to manipulate with high accuracy. |
1,087 | … I used to like incubus; now i despise them. How does that happen? | Listen to "Summer Romance", then listen to "If Not Now, When?". You'll find your answer. |
1,088 | looks very similar to one posted by [kippen] further down. | I put the picture in an edit on my comment. It would totally bum me out if it turned out i got a fake but "such is life". |
1,089 | Freelance means that Redditmagazine isn't sending the person. It's just a dude who goes, and then decides who to sell it to after they take the picture. All her contract is saying is that you can't sell to multiple publications. Publications don't send freelancers to do things for them. Freelancers do things and then sell them to a publication. | A large majority of photos you see in magazines were shot by freelancers who were commissioned by the magazine. The rest would be if the magazine has a staff photographer, stock / wire photos, and a small minority would be images shot on speculation then sold to the magazine. |
1,090 | No, I did a solo bluegrass project called riffraff revival- google it! | BLUEGRASS COVER OF KIDS BY MGMT!!!! I died laughing. My friends always tell me we gotta start a Bluegrass band on the side of this hip-hop collective we have. New question. Have you heard of Spiritualized? |
1,091 | Wow, you know NYHC?? That's a rarity indeed!!! That was... man, close to 20 years ago. Ouch!! It's funny, but Jodo has told me that the only reason he agreed to do this doc was because he thought we would never finish it! I guess we showed him!! ;) | Yeah, I couldn't miss some much good music in one place :) Unfortunately I've seen it yeeeaarrss after original release. Hah, sure you did! But I bet he was way more than happy to finally see such a great appreciation of his unfulfilled dream. |
1,092 | Trust me I have never had a Facebook account, you will do just fine. | I use facebook but it is only because I don't have anything to replace it on my home screen. It is one of the 'main' things along with Reddit and Twitter. |
1,093 | You definitely haven't actually looked then. Idaho is pretty great. | Well, I'm pretty close, if I decided to stop there next time what would you recommend? |
1,094 | > Bob Dylan. **It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)** Advertising signs they con. You into thinking you’re the one. That can do what’s never been done. That can win what’s never been won. Meantime life outside goes on. All around you | oh god. I can't listen to this song either. |
1,095 | I couldn't name any good rock songs nowadays, would love to find some modern rock songs but it genuinely doesn't seem like there's much being made , literally the only example i know is sabaton | What about bands like volbeat or kings of Leon (not a big fan of either but both have a decent following) or queens of the stone age?(rock in the purest form). Or stuff like mars Volta and modest mouse (a bit progressive, kinda like the link Floyd flavor of modern day, still definitely rock) Edit to add pri mus/les claypool in general. Who consistently puts out music |
1,096 | But. What if like, JFK had killed OJ. So what happens now? | I mean presidents get away with war crimes without even as much as an indictment so there's that |
1,097 | You do have a choice ...... If you have the enterprise edition. So no, most don't have a choice | It's trivially easy to pirate the enterprise edition. You can even get it without piracy if you're okay with no background and very rare reminders you need to register it (which can actually be avoided entirely... lol). |
1,098 | All I could think after looking at these was, "How much time does this girl/guy spend rearranging icons?" Every time I replace my wallpaper, it's like an hour or more of making my icons viewable. Your tendency towards high contrast images is beautiful, but makes me hurt on the inside. | It really didn't take too long. Maybe 30-40ish minutes. |
1,099 | The expanse (2nd season) and star trek: discovery for example. | Dark Matter just wrapped its second season and was considerably improved upon from the first season. |
