1,700 | OpenSSL is open source as well. Open source does not mean secure. | That is true, but doesn't apply here. OpenSSL had an unchecked bounds issue that could lead to an information leak. KeyPass does not operate online and uses well-researched crypto techniques. |
1,701 | Never put your passport or boarding pass in the tray. It happens often people take wrong stuff, either on accident or on purpose, from trays. Losing your passport or boarding pass at an airport could put you in an awkward situation. Especially when abroad. | But they do not allow you to keep it on your body |
1,702 | If I was able to pay fees lile that I'd be more apt to just buy a book for my own copy. | Agreed, I had looked into this at a few different libraries and the Indianapolis Library charges $65 per person per year....or I can be patient and go to their huge library book sale and get 32 books/dvds/audio books for the same price |
1,703 | And how much of it was real and how much of it was bait? | "lolol im not retarded I was just pretending"? Well, when someone spends their time "baiting" people on the Internet by pretending to be stupid, doesn't that kinda make them genuinely stupid? |
1,704 | He would have sold it right then if I could have gotten the advertised price + 30$ for unlimited. But I guess there are some weird productivity metrics in play. | I know someone who works in retention, and you wouldn't believe the promos they have for making sales. |
1,705 | This is for WiFi, not mobile data. WiFi isn't tethered nearly as often, and their caps are usually reasonable. | > and their caps are usually reasonable. Caps are never reasonable. |
1,706 | what? why! i feel like this could be cool and different. plus in the article it says they've wanted to work together for awhile | Personally, I'm pretty ambivalent about LCD Soundsystem but am definitely an Arcade Fire fan, so I understand sevenpointfour's concern. |
1,707 | You're correct, it took a while for the site to load for me too. Anyway, I've got a few books on my todo stack. I'll definitely pick up a copy of your book (I'm trying to learn Perl) and give you an honest review. | Thank you. I don't ask people to leave *good* reviews, I ask them to leave *any* review, so long as it's honest. So far, the only significant negative feedback I received was on typos. I wrote a 700 page book in just a few months, while we had a newborn baby at home. I feel bad about the typos, but I can live with them. In fact, I was going to turn the book down because of the baby, but my wife was insistent I do it, saying she'd take care of the baby. She's awesome :) |
1,708 | Honestly most of what you mentioned i'm already uninterested due to i already know how the story generally goes. I like horror with a mystery about what the horror is still about. No idea what to read about Edgar Allen Poe though. Suggestions ? | You can read Poe's The Telltale Heart and The Pit and the Pendulum. Both are short stories. |
1,709 | The Kingdom of Heaven director's cut is much better than the theatrical version. American Gangster was great. Matchstick Men was very entertaining. Black Hawk Down earned him a third Best Director nomination... And of course Thelma and Louise is one of the most critically-acclaimed films of the 1990s. | >The Kingdom of Heaven director's cut is much better than the theatrical version. Yes, people, listen to this woman and don't watch the theatrical ever. |
1,710 | Okay, or you could watch interviews for better context. He has said multiple times that he has no idea how he wrote those songs. That in retrospect it felt like a different person and that it came really natural for him. | Right. As he sat in pure amazement at how fucking awesome his songs are, which, I guess but so are hundred and thousands of others...heck he didn't even sell as much as other artists. |
1,711 | For me, Avatar the movie was meh. Mostly average. Avatar the Cinematic Experience (tm) was what made it. The landscapes were beautiful and it was such a good usage of non-gimmicky 3D. | dont know why you're being downvoted because what you said is completely true. it's not a good film by any means, its just visuals |
1,712 | >He was a wannabe-director so I can see why he would like the movies, but the visual styles were obnoxious and distracting to me. This sounds like a wannabe-chef going to a restaurant that serves dishes like "Cumin and Coriander Special" | If you know the story behind the movie, I can see why a wannabe director would like it. The director basically won the golden ticket. |
1,713 | So you buy a book and you own the copyright to it now? It's yours and you can make as many copy's and resell it all you want? The law hasn't changed since the days of yore. What has changed is the technology used to enforce the laws. | You're equivocating. Owning a copy of a book and owning the copy*right* to a book are two completely different things and you know it. I echo /u/mindbleach's view 100%. Whenever I buy an ebook from Amazon the first thing I do is toss it into Calibre, which strips the DRM, and convert it into an epub. From that point onward it is *my* book and Amazon holds no power over it. If Amazon were to somehow create a magical DRM system that couldn't be broken I would simply stop buying stuff from them. |
1,714 | Not the rich, it's the poor they want to keep in line | It's not the poor people pulling the strings of the FBI brass. They are wanting to protect the status quo. Soon mere words of dissent will be illegal. |
1,715 | Isn't this one of their most popular songs? If it's not this, its only behind Electric Feel and Kids. This song as over 100 million plays on spotify and this video has 70 million views. I thought it was funny that this could be considered underrated "for sure" | Most people never listen to the rest of OS, besides Kids and Electric Feel. It's definitely popular, but then again they only had one album out for a few years so it's not like there were many choices. |
1,716 | So you're in a "depressing music" mood? [Here you go] | i like it.. tho a bit too much on the eerie spokenwords side |
1,717 | people should have an open view how AI will help everyone. There's no such thing as evil AI, humans just misuse it sometimes | If the AI were programmed with “evil” decision trees or objectives, or taught with “evil” feedback, would that not be “evil AI?” |
1,718 | I teach middle school so I will have a bit more safe set of books. I do watership down, a selection of agatha Christie, dune, foundation trilogy, I robot, Enders game, Rebecca, moonstone, moonfleet, around the world in 80 days, 20,000 leagues, journey to the center of the earth, tintin, the little prince, Horatio Hornblower, to kill a mockingbird, complete Sherlock Holmes, red pony, the pearl. | Great list! I don't know why I didn't think to put Dune in there. I love the mix of sci-fi, classic lit, and young-adult that you have. Thank you so much! |
1,719 | maybe you could just google what the word means and find out instead of being a dick | Hahaha, dude, I know why redditors use it, and everyone who does is a self-righteous douchebag. In this specific context it doesn't even make any sense. "Wow look at all these people agreeing about shit! Hahaha! I'm mocking them!" |
1,720 | Don't buy it then, just ask to read it and take pictures. | > Most of them are impossible to find in the real world |
1,721 | yo OP, don't do this. google the /mu/ essential albums instead | OP, do this. It's a big big list, a few hundred albums, split into the best alternative, classic rock, hip hop, metal, and electronic albums. You might not enjoy everything on the list right away if you're new to music, but it's a place to start. Probably go for the classics to start, they're the most accessible |
1,722 | Thanks! It's pretty good so far... minus the fact that Ishmahel took 5 pages describing how mad he was at not being at sea... LOL | I haven't read it yet, but from what I understand of that book you are in for a lot of similar long winded descriptions of things. |
1,723 | Isn't the foundation series a bit much for someone just getting into scifi? I'd have suggested it a bit further down the line, preferably after some Iain M Banks novels. | Do you mean a bit much in terms of commitment? I think the series is very accessible and I don't think the commitment is that great. More importantly, it's almost unanimously regarded as a fundamental book to the genre - whereas Banks is more polarizing. Although I like Banks, and love the Culture universe, many people aren't that into his books. I've so far read *Consider Phlebas*, *The Player of Games*, and *Use of Weapons*, and have found them to be pretty standard. Nothing too spectacular (although *Excession* seems right up my alley). |
1,724 | That would be heavily subsidized at that price. I'll be surprised if it's under $1000 | They said it'd be a bit more than $350... so it's never going to be over $1000. $399 is a reasonable guess. |
1,725 | Also... in regards to the "people wouldn't be on their phones.." bit... yeah they would. Look up the iTunes festival footage online. Everyone there knew they were at an event being streamed live that would be available for free after. Yet still, dozens of phones out, filming shitty video of it. | Darn. I know I never would be on my phone, but I guess some people are different. |
1,726 | Triple J was at its PEAK in the 90s. Once Aussie hip hop came aboard it was all over.. | You’ve just demonstrated exactly what he’s talking about you fanny |
1,727 | are you srsly asking that an internet community for movies with hundreds of thousands of users work together to post a single post around the death of a famous actor? We don't need 500 posts about it, but we don't need people asking it to stop because, between us here, it wont work. | I don't think it's too much to ask that people stop trying to karma whore the death of an actor on this subreddit. It's quite clear there are enough posts for it. |
1,728 | I dont think people take the time or give the up and comers the ear that they give someone like Drake. Joey Bada$$ for example hasn't made a wack album/mixtape since he's been rapping. 1999 is classic, Summer Knights is on par with that, and even the collaboration mixtapes are dope. B4.DA.$$ is better than If You're Reading This quality-wise. It's Drakes album that hasn't come out that will set him apart from lesser knowns. | These posts are just reinforcing my point... if you have to use someone like Joey Bada$$ to even compare to Drake's mixtapes, then you know his shit is better than 99% of up and coming artist's albums, seeing as Joey is one of the top, if not literally the top up and comer. I realize it's not even that impressive for someone at the top of the game to drop mixtapes better than unheard of rappers, but this dude was at like -30 when I commented. |
1,729 | I get it. I've read it multiple times and love it, but I cheat and skip the poems and long descriptions. | Not the first one I hope, it's one of my favorite poems in general. *All that is gold does not glitter,* *Not all those who wander are lost;* *The old that is strong does not wither,* *Deep roots are not reached by the frost.* *From the ashes a fire shall be woken,* *A light from the shadows shall spring;* *Renewed shall be blade that was broken,* *The crownless again shall be king* |
1,730 | Spoiler: Leaving milk unrefridgerated for an extended period of time | Spoiler: Milk is a bad choice when it's too damn hot. |
1,731 | Seriously? House of 1000 Corpses is fucking trash - coming from a fan of Rob Zombie's movies and music. It just straight up sucks; there's no plot, the characters are annoying if unlikable, the cinematography is horrible, the soundtrack is boring, the pacing is way off, and the ending is so fucking stupid. Devil's Rejects is a great film. Halloween II is much more tangible as a film, because it deals with characters in more depth than 1000 Corpses, and it was intended to purposefully kill the franchise considering RZ never wanted a sequel to his first film in the first place. | Zombie's Halloween 2 is complete garbage and just as bad as 1000 Corpses. The first Halloween remake is very good however, if not quite up to the near-perfect Devil's Rejects. I don't know what you think you're arguing against, but I think you've grossly misunderstood my comment, and are just talking to yourself here. |
1,732 | Well, it isn't always about speed. Kanye can't rap fast at all, but his lyrics are pretty creative sometimes. The big thing with Kanye is the beats he is rapping over. Kanye started out producing beats, and I would say they are extremely creative, often sampling obscure songs from completely different genres. I think 2 Chainz is good in his features with someone else's beat, but his own music isn't that great IMHO. | I wouldn't say Kanye can't rap fast. Listen to Power Remix, his last verse he switches up and spits really fast. 2 Chainz is just a funny dude who seems like the kind of guy you'd wanna chill with, and he has a good voice for music. |
1,733 | Personally I found the best resource for material isn't the library, the internet or even the librarian. It's the book itself. Looking at the references made in the book tends to help a lot more than reading lists or whatever. Depending on your subject as well but often journals (that are almost exclusively online nowadays) are much better for writing an essay, they can be tailored to your specific subject much more often as full books are usually way more general | When I wrote my thesis, I'd say about 75% of both my primary and secondary sources came out of the bibliographies of 3 or 4 secondary sources I had stumbled upon initially. |
1,734 | I'm a person wanting to remove the statues and I bear no ill will to random confederate soldiers. In fact, I don't bear any ill will towards General Lee himself. Removing statues of Lee is not even about saying that Lee was a bad guy (which I don't think he was). It's about recognizing that monuments to the Confederacy were erected in the Jim Crow South long after the war was over, reminding blacks that they were still in the South and the ideology of the Confederacy was still alive. | Why is it so important to preserve the myth that Lee was a good guy who just dabbled in owning people because the times he lived in forced him to? It’s not really a case of judging someone by “modern standards” since many many people at the time in America felt it was wrong to have slaves or be part of slavery. Genuinely not trying to start something. I don’t understand why this myth is so essential and I grew up in the South. |
1,735 | >cant. *can't. > IOS. *iOS. > Its fucking horrifying. *It's (not possessive) | Could you just shut the fuck up? You can correct someone if he/she makes a major mistake but look at your pathetic post history... |
1,736 | I don't get it? Wasn't he saying that it doesn't sound similar because it's literally straight up copied over (as in the exact same)? | he's saying it is copied. Skrillex is proving it wasnt |
1,737 | Me too! [This is my go to] although there are many great versions on the YouTubes. | [This one] is by far my favorite out there. |
1,738 | American Horror Story is an anthology series on FX. | With mixed reception. I watch it, but I understand that it's not high quality television. The writing has gotten progressively worse each season. |
1,739 | I only read "literature" or non-fiction, but I don't tell people due to comments like "snob". It's not so much that I'm trying to be a snob, it's just that I can only read so much, why not read critically acclaimed books that have stood the test of time. | It's only the people who seem critical of others who are the "snobs"! You should enjoy what you read. |
1,740 | Any person from Africa I've ever met is sickly religious. Which I'll never understand considering the poverty they come from. What peoples' minds can justify is really incredible. Anyway, the last things these kids need is books. What a colossal waste of effort. | Actually one of the big reasons for religion is to justify, and encourage people to stay in poverty. |
1,741 | I remember enjoying White Fang. I'll find my copies and reread them. Thanks! | Have you ever read Hatchet by Gary Paulson? It’s short as well but such a good read! |
1,742 | I just started reading "The Colour of Magic" on Monday. It is my first Terry Pratchett book. I'm almost done and so far I would describe it as average with hints of something profoundly exceptional. It left me feeling a bit sad; as I have read so many wonderful things about Sir Terry Pratchett. Not to mention some truly amazing one-off quotes. I find that good fortune, or maybe Fate, brings this post to the front page of Reddit to tell me, and all those starting this journey recently, to continue onward. Thanks! | The first three books are often described as very mediocre compared to the rest of the series. The series becomes absolutely brilliant as you progress. |
1,743 | Perhaps I'm being short-sighted, but based on the provided test, I'm failing to see what this big security hole is, unless you'd classify defining a function and printing some text as a vulnerability. Doesn't this just define a function that declares true then prints something? | I'm not entirely sure, but basically the bash shell runs the function when it starts. So you could define a function and then run a setuid root program that runs a shell script at some point and have your function run as root. |
1,744 | My brother, I was there for the entire ARG as well. Slusho, Tagruato, 1-18-08.com...... So many memories. | Have you checked out thecellarmovie.com? Some are speculating it's related.... Have fun! |
1,745 | Those old diesel subs run on the water most of the time, it's where they are fastest. | This. They would only submerge when they needed to, they ran on battery power when submerged and could only travel 60-some nautical miles at about 8 miles/hour. Surfaced they had a range of 12000 nautical miles at 20 miles/hour. |
1,746 | Now if we could only stop authorizing targets so indiscriminately. | Maybe people in uniforms using lethal force will be a bit more mindful of what they're doing now that their weapons can record and data-mine their actual intentions. |
1,747 | For a lot of people, especially of a young age, *Catcher in the Rye* is a life changing book. | I personally recommend Perks of Being a Wallflower as a more recent version of the same. |
1,748 | Poor phrasing, what I meant to say way, the CEO doesn't create the goods like the musicians do. Which give the CEO an unfair amount of money compared to the artists | The CEO makes the whole thing possible, none of todays top pop artist would be anything without their labels |
1,749 | Ah, graphene. Is there anything you can't do (besides be cheaply and easily mass produced)? | [These guys have apparently figured out how to have a large-scale graphene fabrication] - hopefully it will soon be seen in everything! |
1,750 | You're complaining that it exits through a gift shop? You can walk through it without buying anything and have it not affect you in any way. A lot of times, it's refreshing to exit into an air conditioned space. Plus, lots of people do enjoy those pictures and keep them for a long time. | Reminds me of people that complain about billboards because people have no right to advertise to them without their consent. Seriously, just don't buy the shit if you don't like it. |
1,751 | Indie Rock = Sebadoh. When I hear the phrase "indie rock" that is the first band that comes to mind. 4 track, 8 track white noise filled garage and basement recordings. Original. Lou Barlow and Jason Lowenstein stayed true. I can't imagine a top ten indie rock list with out them being creditable. If you haven't yet, SeBadOh!!! Gimme indie rock!!! | The lack of Sebadoh, Beat Happening, and Superchunk from these lists sadden me. |
1,752 | Patel was pretty good in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, IMO. And he was also in The Last Airbender, but obviously nobody wants to dwell upon that movie. | Yeah he stumbled out of the gate after Slumdog but he's slowly but surely building up his credentials and proving he wasn't a one hit wonder. |
1,753 | Because very few licenses are free roaming. Most are tied to a computer, and by most I mean 98%+. When the computer goes the license dies too. In all honesty upgrade revenue has always been a nice but rather minimal stream. | And they called me mad for purchasing a non-OEM version of Windows 7. MAD! |
1,754 | >Now, if they were just forcing broadband providers to show on each of their plans, the average speed you'd get during peak hours for that geographical region, fuck yeah, I'm all for it. Pretty sure that's exactly what the ACCC is forcing Australian ISPs to do | Yea, the Title seems wrong. They can still use "up to" but with the speeds 50% of users will get during peak hours. |
1,755 | Lmao, you talk big but try not to kill yourself when you're crying later wishing your life was like mine. Maybe someday someone will love you even slightly. The odds aren't great, but there's always hope. | lol, alright buddy. It was always the top 5% who ended up in the army with butch pokemon loving girlfriends. Or was it the bottom 5%? Either way, that's what I'm going for! I'm gonna reach for the stars! Thanks for this talk man. I couldn't do it without you. And to think, this all started with your lame "shit incarnate" attempt at an insult. lol. Thank goodness you didn't go there with me. Then I'd really be crying! |
1,756 | You gotta dig deeper. Check out the songs Age of Information, Real Life, and Beat The Odds by Lil B | I gotta admit (and thanks for the recommendations) the guy seems to have a pretty positive following. Still not digging the music...I'm just not seeing a whole lot of artistry here. |
1,757 | As someone who's not much into thrash, I think Dave's vocals are perfect for the sound they do, especially in the early albums. | Yea after listening to hetfield, my ears can't tolerate Dave for some reason.. Even though James' has a similar voice back in the day.. I just can't do it man. I tried countless times. To try and like them. I went out of my way even |
1,758 | How is Kingsmen a super hero movie? Even then, okay, six. How many crime dramas and romantic comedies came out this year I wonder? | I'd like to know how much was spent in total on those six, compared to the rom-coms and crime dramas. |
1,759 | Not letting things die. So many movies could die a nice and peaceful death, but instead are sustained on life support until every last cent is squeezed out. Maybe I don't want to see a sequel, or a prequel, or a remake. I'm ok not knowing what happens after the credits role. | > Maybe I don't want to see a sequel, or a prequel, or a remake. I'm ok not knowing what happens after the credits role. This one is easily avoidable by... not watching a sequel, prequel or remake. |
1,760 | I enjoyed Hugo's tangents though (usually). His hundred pages on the Battle of Waterloo was fascinating, IMHO. | The worst of his tangents is when he spends a chapter justifying his use of street slang in the novel. Despite all the digressions and unnecessary exposition, when Hugo's on point, he's a wonderful storyteller. The stuff with Marius and Cosette's early courting is really quite lovely and so much better than the "love at first sight" of the musical. |
1,761 | The movie tripled its production budget in revenue. She mentioned the shaft for the reason of foreshadowing, as you say. Nor was it random as you imply; the barn was an interesting conversational piece between strangers who had just met. Small talk. The barn's historical significance was its use in protecting slaves, and shuttling them via the underground "tubes." Small talk between strangers who just met and there's not much else to chat up on the farm to relieve the tension, and so this historically interesting barn enters the convo. Legit. | No it is ham fisted into the film. The same results could have been presented in a much more interesting and less ham fisted way. That is the biggest problem with most of MNS films. He smashes you over the head with what is going to happen. A more suble approach would be so much better. Just because the movie makes money, does not mean it is good. This film is pure shit. The concept was interesting, but his delivery , the dialog and the acting is all horrendous. |
1,762 | Shouldn't that be checkable in some way ? With an abnormal drop in album sales for example ? I can't find a graph with Nickelback's sales histogram :(. | That would be awesome. I would love to see some extra data. |
1,763 | Some of us likes not to be monitored - even "just" with audio - *all* the time. | I hope you don’t have a smart phone, especially running Android. Because if you do I have *really* bad news for you. |
1,764 | Pepsi's victory in the Cola Wars was assured when they patented the combination dildo/soda bottle. | At the moment of climax, a hidden reservoir of mentos powder is dumped into the soda, causing realistic gushing action! |
1,765 | Certainly! I can't remember names but quite a few of Freddie Widgeon's love interests as well as Bertie's girlfriends have been witty and intelligent. I remember there being a few Aunts with very individual characteristics, too. Aunt Julia was/is my favourite. In Wodehouse's defense, a lot of male characters too were complete asses and useless twits :-) | Are there any male characters in Bertie and Jeeves who *aren't* asses and twits? I can only think of Jeeves, who's the opposite of useless, but might still be an ass. |
1,766 | It seems the link I post gets hidden/deleted. But I found it with a simple google search so shouldn't be to hard for you either. | Sure I'll get right on that after I search for the proof that the Earth is flat. You do realize that solar panels are fragile, get dirty, and that there is literally no reason they need to be made into roads because there is no shortage of land, right? This idea is especially ridiculously dumb because it comes from people who live in cities and think we are running out of space on the Earth. There is no shortage of land just about anywhere except for the center of densely populated areas. If you look at a map, those areas are pin pricks on otherwise wide open territory. |
1,767 | Is there any sort of weapon that could produce that effect? Napalm maybe? | Napalm is just sticky gel that burns. There is no inherent force to it beyond the combustion of gasoline. |
1,768 | It depends on the situation. If the police can observe you entering your password then the password system becomes a lot less secure. Also, some dude has been held for 6 months now for not decrypting hard drives. In the US. | If a court orders you to do something and you refuse to do it, you will be held in contempt and possibly imprisoned. Producing documents is something that courts can order, and they generally hold that your password is not protected under the fifth amendment. Nothing new there. The legal system won't let you go just because you use encryption. |
1,769 | It's a sophism. And one could still argue that it is the music everybody like because it's the one that is served with a big pair of boobs and the easiest to find. | I think calling it a sophism is a bit of a stretch, and I'm not saying pop music is the best music, I'm just saying it isn't as terrible an argument as it seems. |
1,770 | Duma Key. IMO the scariest book he has written, and the best part is that it didn't begin to really scare me until after I had finished it. | I was going to pick that up a while back from the library but thought better of it because I'd never heard of it and figured it must not be one of his better novels. Glad to hear I made the wrong choice. |
1,771 | "It's all about paying the artists FAIRLY! ...Which then allows us to take more of that money for ourselves. Why don't you see you're forcing us to live in homes that only have two stories, send our kids to the second best private schools, and not let us buy the fanciest, most expensive ~~status symbols~~ cars in America? YOU'RE TAKING AWAY OUR LIVELYHOODS!" | Nothing proves a wealthy family's lack of class then having this mentality. |
1,772 | >without proof. You'd be right if the head of the FBI didn't describe that they had proof of every single illegal illegal action Hillary committed. Or did you forget she got off the hook on the technicality that she was too stupid to follow the law? | The head of the FBI has actually said the exact opposite. Where did you see him say he has proof she broke the law? |
1,773 | Absolutely. In the first one there is an unstopable killing machine in persuit of two squishy people. In the second there are two unstopable killing machines against each other. the tension and brutality is less in teh second | That's part of what I enjoy about T2; the unstoppable killing machine from the first movie is now learning to become more like the squishy people. It's not a battle between two killer robots straight off an assembly line with zero back story. You *care* about what happens with the T-101. At least I do. |
1,774 | Yes, but these are not those rejection letters so it's completely irrelevant. Edit: messed up | Holy pedantic butt puckering batman. The article is about Rowling getting rejected. The original commenter wondered how people would feel about having rejected HP. I don't think he's stretching the conversation beyond most peoples ability to grasp. |
1,775 | Just saw him on the 10th and it was one of the best shows I have ever been too. You're in for a real treat man. | sweet! I'm seeing him on monday! is it mostly stuff from surf or does he do stuff from acid rap too? |
1,776 | for those that care, the books were ordered on the 25th of July at 8PM, and were on my desk on the 3rd of August. | thanks i don't care you literal piece of human garbage, i hope you enjoy your stupid children's books fucker glad you saved like 2 euros. huh? ohh shit gwaargh. |
1,777 | They covered an old,OLD country blues song called Blues Stay Away From Me. I've heard it covered by dozens of artists, but believe their version was by far the best. Apparently no video exists. Been searching for 2 years or so . If anyone knows of said video please let me know. | [Here's] a recording if thats what your looking for. No live footage though. |
1,778 | I just remember him for his orange juice commercial when the little kid says, "Wow, Robert Loggia!", like any 6 year old knows who yhr hell robert loggia is. Then bob, dressed like a gangster, growls at him to drink OJ. I thought it would have been better if he was also pointing a gun at the kid. | I thought I was the only one who remembered that commercial. It was genius! |
1,779 | Oh god dammit. I had this song stuck in my head all day yesterday.... Now this? Fuckit have an upvote... Also nobody under the age of 30 seems to know this song? How bizarre. | found this song when I was 18. Still love it just as much. |
1,780 | I saw them at Osheaga in Montreal this Summer and let me just say, THEY ROCKED. It's just nice to see that even at this age they still have so much freaking energy and love for their fans. It was a fantastic concert. | I've always liked them but I just kind of view this stage of their career as an old hobby for them, something that they feel they "might as well" continue. I don't really view anything they release these days as RHCP canon, even though it is. I know many people would say that's ignorant and misguided, but that's my viewpoint. |
1,781 | Actually... you're missing the fact that marketing budgets are never part of the production budget. Marketing budgets can be almost the same or even more than the production budget. For this movie, the marketing budget is $175 million. | >For this movie, the marketing budget is $175 million. Which is just shocking because the marketing for the movie was *terrible*. From a superficial standpoint this movie isn't significantly different from a Transformers film but those movies are able to generate 100mm opening weekends on the back of marketing (certainly not film quality). |
1,782 | And yet you still miss the point. This is in the context of ramsomware. If your backups are also infected, just how effective do you think they'll be? | Does ransomware actually infect your DATA on another drive or partition though? I don't understand how it could. Especially nowadays where you can back up multiple versions/dates of the same file in the cloud not even using a RAID set up. |
1,783 | > Facebook requires a separate app for its Messenger. I actually love this. I don't use facebook on my phone for anything other than messaging. | I'm also really glad you can keep Facebook and Messenger apart easily. I was using facebook group chats to do some work, and using messenger means that I don't have to open facebook to see where everyone is at. |
1,784 | > As nitpicky as it sounds, the action bit involving the hammerhead corvette ramming the Star Destroyer was lame.. Not to mention jumping to hyperspace inside a gravity well while the crust of the planet is descending on you. Seriously, did anyone think of the physics behind that? Utterly ridiculous. | Han jumped inside the cargo ship then exited inside Starkiller base's planet atmosphere; it's happened in the Clone Wars TV show before too. Not unprecedented in the universe - this is a fantasy sci-fi movie not bound by laws of physics. |
1,785 | Absolutely love this series. It's not for book snobs. We all know people like that. "You're reading THAT? Oh, ok." But fuck those people anyway. I'm surprised Bob hasn't been mentioned more among some of the fans here. Great character. | Bob is awesome. [Ghost Story spoiler](/s "Hopefully we'll learn more about his prior run in with Mab and back story... if he's still alive that is.") |
1,786 | I'm positive that everyone is overreacting and that This Joker will be fine. | He may end up playing the part *very well*, my complaint, is about the way he looks. To me, it seems forced. |
1,787 | Feel like they totally shown the whole movie in this 2 minute trailer. Did they not see how well the Star Wars trailers have done? That whole second half of the trailer was the entire plot of the movie! | People keep saying this. But you have t seen the movie so how do you know this is the whole plot. Jesus Christ the bitchfest echo chamber around this movie is stupid as fuck. |
1,788 | Palahniuk's turned into shock value after he came out of the closet, but early on you could see a lot of characters that were gay but written as straight men. Kind of a weird thing from way early in his career. | My thoughts exactly, thanks for putting them into words properly. What do you think about Miller (if you've read his works)? Many argue that his sexual portrayal of women comes from a very misogynistic view. Personally I don't buy it at all; I think its ultra-feminist garbage, like people raising issues about how women are drawn unrealistically sexy in comics while ignoring Superman's gigantic boobs. |
1,789 | While I can definitely agree with you about 50 shades... > A lot of people who read these books will defend them to the death, and will ignore or even defend some of the horrible implications. This is EXACTLY the reaction you will get if you go into /r/gaming and suggest that there is anything problematic about current flavour-of-the-month game GTA V. Like, you will literally get threatened with death and rape if you criticize the content or themes of the game. So the problem definitely isn't just confined to rabid Twilight fans. | Definitely not. Movies, games, whatever. People will defend their horrible crap no mtter what it is. |
1,790 | Yes, but they shouldn’t expect privacy while using the company tools... If I want to have a private conversation with Bob down the hall, I either talk with him, to I could email from my private account to his. If I use the work email address and send it to his work email, I don’t expect privacy, nor should I. | >but they shouldn’t expect privacy while using the company tools... I *love* how you're getting downvoted for that. People are getting more and more stupid. |
1,791 | Did it annoy anyone else that everyone always calls it red flower, but when King Louie's singing he rhymes desire with fire | You mean "red flower" right? And yes, that did bother me a little. |
1,792 | definitely! this is honestly some of the best shit i've heard this month | Thanks for showing love fam. Gettin a lot of hate for the way I look 👀.but shit fuck it haters gotta do sum thing . |
1,793 | Yeah... The Black Keys have put out some real cool stuff over the years but regardless of how much better you think they are than Nickelback it's still a dumb idea to go around preaching how bad Nickelback is. You're not surprising anybody, at this point everyone who you're going to be able to reach knows how bad Nickelback is, and it just makes you look like a pretentious asshole by proclaiming how cool you are and how good your music is compared to theirs, and don't get me wrong because I do love the Black Keys, but their own music isn't exactly groundbreaking... | well they have injected influences from a lot of peripheral blues artists who i would not have ever heard of were it not for the keys. that alone makes their music more original than NB who drew from the same artists that, well, everyone else has. and they most certainly are better than NB's bland corporate sludge, which despite being bad is still what gets played on the radio. if only good bands were allowed to become popular, but the stupid indie mentality throws stones at any band that achieves critical mass, paving the way for total corporate acts to make all the money and take all the spotlight. |
1,794 | I'll bite. The Weeknd's Kiss Land is better than it's made out to be. It's lyrically different from his Trilogy work, but the production is solid and the only misstep in the album is Live For. | Kiss Land was my favorite album of 2013, I've never got the hate for it. |
1,795 | I still can't decide whether he's the worst actor I've ever seen, or the best. I don't know if I ever will. And something about that is just downright impressive if you ask me | He is a good actor but his problem is that he will never turn down a movie. He is in (or used to be in) a shitload of debt due to not paying taxes + going through a divorce, so he would take every role no matter how bad the movie. |
1,796 | It was a pretty terrible portrayal of electro... and Harry. | You think so? I thought electro was fine and Harry was great. Green Goblin was a shit fest, I'll give you that. But it's still nothing compared to... EVERYONE from 3 |
1,797 | ...Why in the ever-loving *fuck* do we need fridges and lamps that can access the internet? TVs, Blu-ray players, and the like I can understand... but why a fucking fridge or a lamp!? | Tbh, being able to control light with phone or computer scripts is a nice thing to have, sure you can do it without internet, but it just an alternative way. |
1,798 | I love going to Barnes and Noble. If not to buy a book but for the ambience of being in a book store, surrounded by so many stories and book-centered novelties. So sad to hear this happening, I wish there was a clear way for them to rebound. | Just the other day I was off of work, and bored sitting at home. I drove to my nearest B&N and spent like two hours just browsing. Ended up buying a book, then went and sat in the cafe with a cup of coffee and started reading. It was so relaxing. I will sorely miss being able to do that if they close down. |
1,799 | True. This is the song that hooked me on Coheed and Cambria. I haven't read much of The Armory Wars though, and should probably change that. | I'm sure it was an autocorrect, but just in case. Amory* |
