3,400 | Agreed. It wasn't the best Bond scriptwise, but hot damn is it the prettiest Bond film. Sam Mendes knows his shit. | How amazing it looks is actually more to do with Roger Deakins the cinematographer. Watch any film he was DOP on, honestly all beautiful. |
3,401 | Oh I'm reading 1984 at this very moment! I just love books like catcher in the rye and such. | Sometimes I'd like to think of Orwell as a prophet instead of an author of fiction |
3,402 | Is it even possible to show more in a trailer? | Pretty much just saw it all. Saved me $14 bucks. |
3,403 | This is my favorite Pixar movie. It's gorgeous, witty, well-written, adorable, and warm. I haven't cried in a Pixar movie before, not even Up, but for some reason, this scene gets to me. I always tear up during the end. I think because it's not really sad, but touching. "A great artist can come from anywhere." I dunno. It gives me the warm fuzzies. edit: missing a lettr | You don't even tear up during the backstory of Carl and Ellie in UP? It is such a beautifully evocative scene. Five minutes of dialogue free exposition that tells you everything about them. So much pathos in it that everyone can identify with. |
3,404 | >Seriously. Google Play Music All Access? Great job guys. That's an improvement, it was previously "Google Play Music All Access I'm Feeling Lucky Radio". | Can you imagine how bad the other suggestions were if they went with name Youtube Red? I used to be all aboard the Google train, but it seems like someone is drunk at the controls lately. |
3,405 | My sennheiser HD-25 II have had a hard life during the soon 5 years I have owned them. They are fucking indestructable. They where the best sounding headphone in it's price bracket when I got them, maybe even now. They are the best insulating headphone I have ever used, apart from headphones that had insulation as a main feature. I can also run them on just about anything and still get high volume, but they are quite punishing if the soundcard is of bad quality. They need a good source, but not an amplifier. Cost me about $150 when I got them, but I think they cost around 200 now. | i got a set of BD 770 pro about 5 years ago for $125, they lasted 4 then needed a new cord and i messed them up with trying to solder the cord back instead of buying an xlr cord with real wires. i am not in any way saying senns are bad, i just dont think that they are the best for the money and they are very mid focused so you need to EQ them. |
3,406 | What device can't you stream it on? I use my phone, tablet, xbox one, fire stick, xbox 360. | Chromecast and Apple TV. The two biggest streaming devices. |
3,407 | The iPhone launched 10 years ago for $500. Now it is just a mid range phone you can buy with this amount. The flagships are $800 to $1200. I call greed from the likes of apple, which is the main company that imposes price hikes. They make 70-80% profit on each phone and are the main Company that can reduce price. But, because of the apple fan boy sheep who will pay anything their Apple masters ask for, the cost has gone up for profit sakes alone, not because of increases in parts/manufacturing costs. | On-contract prices make no sense to compare. iPhone 4S was $649 without contract (7 years ago), iPhone 8 is $699. However, due to inflation, $649 '2011 dollars' are equal to $725 '2018 dollars'. So in fact, iPhones have gotten cheaper over the years. If we take the first model - it was $599 in '2008 dollars', which is exactly $699 in '2018 dollars'. [Source] |
3,408 | only if he hosts it as Michael Scott. | If this ever happened, the only way it should ever be done is if it's deliberately played off as the most awkward hosting gig of all time. I'm talking subtle bigotry, no political correctness, awkward remarks and childish sulking when someone else's jokes land right after he makes a similar one that didn't. Make the ceremony a complete wince-inducing, squirm-in-your-seat cringe-fest of bad timing and subtle poor taste, and it would be the greatest Oscars ever. |
3,409 | ..because he's also rich enough he doesn't need to be doing some Budweiser Sellout Festival? | But he was there to perform music. That's what he does. Jay Z is supposed to be an artist not a fucking East End market trader. |
3,410 | All the drama on /r/technology is good for this sub. Don't let it turn into a heavily censored shit hole, please. | Don't get your expectations wrong here. We don't allow *any* politics at all, which means even important news about for instance the NSA or Snowden will be completely "censored". |
3,411 | OK - but can someone ELI5 why my Android phone tells Google (?) every single thing I do on it by default, and it isn't obvious how to tell it not to (or even possible? - the few settings i can find flash up dire warnings about the end of the world if I tiurn them off), yet they get away with it? "Android good, Windows bad" seems to be the mantra, but damned if I can see much difference between their ethics. | Android + Windows 10 = double telemetry. It's the best surveillance combination you can get these days. |
3,412 | No. Bc when this is normal, they'll slide that extremist bar to where they want. | I'm kind of three minds about it. They're a private company and they can do what they want. All speech must be protected. As long as extremism is equally dealt with on both sides, which, given most companies previous behavior, is unlikely. |
3,413 | Is the source material that bad. I can't give enough of a shit to find a copy I'm just curious | First one is bad to me but others seem to like it. Second is pretty bad. Third is awful. |
3,414 | >Anyway, it's not a bad read. I totally disagree on that one. It's an important book, because of the cultural factors. But as far as the actual text? I think a combination of Aesop's Fables and general greek mythology tops it. Old or new testament, the stories are just meandering and often pointless. And the pacing tends to be horrible, often without proper resolution or buildup. It's a very significant body of work. Whether one is approaching it from a cultural or religious viewpoint. But I think there's good reason why even people who believe it's the word of god tend to not just sit down with it as enjoyable reading material. | I mean, this is obviously a subjective judgement on whether it's not a bad reading material. I do often sit down and read it for fun—I'm especially a fan of Job and Psalms. I was just offering my opinion. |
3,415 | I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning is probably the best modern folk rock album I've ever heard. | Brilliant imagery and wordplay. Best way to open the record : ) I can't help but sing along with every song on the album, possibly my favorite ever and by far the most played full album on my itunes |
3,416 | Despite *not* being in the release notes I don't think it upgrades your file system. I upgraded today. No problems either. | It does and for good reasons, it needs to be an all or nothing so that developers can effectively build for it. And it serves as a good test for rolling it out conversion to OS X devices later which will be more difficult because not every device will have identical partition structure like you get with iOS. |
3,417 | Check out Shakey Graves. He's an interesting character that can be loosely defined as Americana. | I enjoy his true-grit sound but instead of getting weird he got polished and that ain't good for anyone. Thanks though! |
3,418 | The final scene in Man on Fire, Green Mile, Iron Giant and Good Will hunting to name a few! | I was going to post the Man on Fire scene. From the bridge through the car ride. |
3,419 | This is going back a bit but did you have any inspiration for Tucker Case from a person you already knew? He's my favourite character out off all your books. | Not a specific person, but a friend of mine who knew me back when I was a waiter, was introducing me to someone once and she said, "This is Chris, he's a geek in a cool guy's body." I sort of ran with that. I wanted to create a guy who was a womanizer, but was completely clueless to why it worked for him. I was not that guy, by the way, but that's where I started with Tuck. And he had absolutely no spiritual awareness, so I thought he'd be perfect to be chosen as a messiah by a minor deity. I built him from those premises, and from countless stories I heard from pilots I knew. |
3,420 | John Mayer - Your Body Is A Wonderland. He's such a great blues guitarist, so it's painful to hear him play this song. | He is such a good guitarist. His tri-personality should be reduced to his blues side and his acoustic side. I just don't like his sappy-pop side. It really doesn't suit him. He'd be among the greats if he focused on his blues guitar work. Have you seen him play at crossroads 2007? Fantastic. |
3,421 | You've been able to share videos on Twitter for awhile now. | They will probably add a "loop by default" check box to new video uploads. |
3,422 | In America it would cost billions and not work well. | We have one of the best ship yards in the world and regardless of where you build a ship your going to be paying for quality and it doesn't come.cheap |
3,423 | I know. I work in hvac, we've done data center work. But it's not just impressive because of color. All the paint is perfect and not scraped off by hangers. Obviously they did touchups prior to taking photos. I found [this image] Those are huge aqua laval plate and frame heat exchangers in the background. A version of those with fewer plates can easily cost 8k. There's also a big taco (pronounced Tay-Ko) tube and shell exchanger in the foreground. | The photographer did just a fantastic job in the entire photoset. Really captured the beauty of some less travelled parts of the data center (some of the lighting was brought in for the shoot). I've been on a tour of a Google data center - it's still tremendous in person, but form over function means most parts just feel like a warehouse. |
3,424 | If you haven't already, check out REM's cover of "Wichita Lineman" and James Taylor in performance at the White House. | REM's cover of "Wichita Lineman" is great. But Campbell's version with Stone Temple Pilots is the best. |
3,425 | It's a children's book but, the girl who owned a city. | This book got me into post apocalyptic books. When I read it in middle school it was some serious shiz. |
3,426 | Man, I disagree with you but these are some real twats replying to you here. Guess that'll teach you to have a different opinion lol. | It's insane man. I'm apparently a 13 year old kid with no knowledge of hip hop whatsoever just because I think that Drake makes more sonically pleasing music than Kendrick. |
3,427 | Apple: Cheaply made Chinese plastic with premium cost and planned obsolescence. Somehow many consumers still view Apple products as fashionable superior products, despite Apple lagging behind technologically for years. **Apple's Advertising is very effective.** | Most Android devices don't last as long as iPhones, however, most Android devices sold don't cost nearly as much as an iPhone either. |
3,428 | I hope that whistling is the transition from Real Friends to Wolves on SWISH. | That's what I was thinking. I loved Wolves on SNL and need a CDQ. |
3,429 | Just out of curiosity, are you aware that in the US, you have no legal recourse when someone takes a picture of video of you in public? | > Just out of curiosity, are you aware that in the US, you have no legal recourse when someone takes a picture of video of you in public? Just because something is legal doesn't mean it's not sketchy or rude |
3,430 | I'll be honest here, I tried watching this movie...but holy shit -- everyone is talking backwards it seemed. I felt like I was trying to decipher the KJV Bible with some big words thrown in. I truly felt like a moron trying to keep up with speech. | I found when teaching it hearing it aloud and reading it at the same time improved comprehension. |
3,431 | The issue is that DRM is fundamentally cryptographically unsound. In order for content to be decrypted, you need some information, like the encryption key and the decryption algorithm. If those are stored locally, it's always possible to get them off your computer - reverse engineer the algorithms and get the keys. If they're stored remotely, you just intercept them when they come to your computer. | Do you know how assymetric encryption works? If it dials home it can be uncrackable. If you intercept a public key its no risk because it can only be used for encryption, not decryption. |
3,432 | I was curious why this was coming out on a Friday. Since most albums come out on Tuesday. However, as I was driving to work just now I saw a sign that said "XX fatalities out of 182 days this year" . So happy 182nd day if the year! | They changed release day from Tuesday to Friday about a year ago. |
3,433 | The second half of that novel is absolutely painful- cliched, tedious, obnoxious and obvious. That being said, I'd still recommend it to others, as the beginning is some of my favorite writing, and you can't just read the first bit. | i only read the first half, it was brilliant. it got terrible and i put it down and have no interest in finishing it. wilde's shortest stuff is his best, many brilliant people can't stay focused on one thing for too long. everybody already knows how it ends anyway. |
3,434 | Middlesex is one of my favorite books ever. Although this isn't what you asked for his other book, The Virgin Suicides, is definitely worth a read. As for explorer type books I really enjoyed "The Adventures of Augie March" by Saul Bellow. | I really enjoyed it. It is the first book by him that I have read but I'll definitely have to check out more of his work. |
3,435 | GRR is a complete tool. He has been sitting on his arse for years now, not writing anything. He never turns down an interview, misses a convention or an award show. I like GoT and think it is a wonderful book and tv show, but I'll be glad when it's finished so I don't have to wait on his lazy butt any longer. | Amen, needed to be said and its true. GRR laid a strong foundation but build a house of foam on top. . time to whip out D&D and get the real meat on the block! |
3,436 | yes mick ronson the one who made bowie famous....think of all those 70`s hits...what drew you to the songs? micks riffs and hooks that what...think about it...jean genie starman tmwstw etc etc it was always micks guitar!!!! what a lovely lovely guy I met hiom twice and he was always an unconceited gent in every way....all mick wanted was his beer his cigs and to play! R.I.P Mick you will never be forgotten. Ginchy. | Wow, you meet Mick? Wow. What a great guitarist. He definitely help bring Bowie into his own. |
3,437 | how old are you? Some of my students like the People of Sparks series. I like Stephen King's Dark Tower series. | Just turned 19. I listened to some of Gunslinger's audiobook. Enjoyed what little I heard. |
3,438 | I still can't believe ScarJo is the highest-grossing actress of all time. | I would've put money down on Charlize Theron regardless of her age... |
3,439 | You’re the kind of person who said the Wright brothers were fools because their first plane could only go 100 metres. “Sure what use is that?!” | Criticising an idea doesn't make me a Luddite. Not very wise to make a character judgement on such a short comment... |
3,440 | I heard that their VFX production was shut down atleast on the day it happened, not sure how quickly they got it back up and running but considering their costs are probably in the range of a million a day then I'd imagine quickly enough! Source: I work for a different VFX studio (please don't hack us) | Heard that they weren't shut down, but sending a number of departments home, particularly if they're at the frontend of the pipe. |
3,441 | I use adblockers on every website. I would not block ads that are hosted on the site itself and are static. And that's just it: that is the only way they could reasonably ensure there is no malware. | I wish this solution would take off. The current situation has resulted in a terrible user experience and the insane situation that site operators often *have no way to know what ads they are even running*. Unfortunately, it seems ad makers don't trust site operators not to lie about their traffic. There's already so much click fraud and dubious traffic (from pop-unders and the like) going to ads, and they think (probably rightly) that this would make things even worse than they already are. With the ad networks hosting the ads they can at least verify that *something* actually loaded their ad. I don't know a good solution. |
3,442 | I thought this was the least effective explanation I've seen in any movie possibly ever. I wanted to love this movie so badly, but the whole "just don't worry about it" bit completely ruined the film for me. Every good Time Travel film has a solid explanation of how time travel operates within that universe, and this movie just decided to skip that. | Isn't the idea not really "don't worry about it" but more like "if I tell you you'll do things different and then it won't matter because now I remember something else"? |
3,443 | Oh I loved Airbender! (Going to have to watch some now.) In regards to more Asian influences... I suppose it could be how some of the literature style translates (for lack of a better word) to Western audiences? I've tended to Japan's offerings and really liked Fuyumi Ono's The Twelve Kingdoms series. Oh, and and the manga Mushishi is a favorite. | Aside from manga I want to see novels like Dreams of The Red Mansion, Water Margin, Journey To The West, and The Three Kingdoms in the US. Asia is so rich in culture and history and needs more cover in bookstores across the world. |
3,444 | Wait a second - Howl's is not better than Porco Rosso. One is filled with characters that are cardboard stereotypes, a plot that stutters and leaps and is written on your nose. Oh, and a repetetive and unimpressive art. Sure, Porco Rosso can be seen as a silly film - man turned into pig? but thats a mirror for his regrett, sorrow and shame. | Personal opinion. I love Porco Rosso but I like Howl's more. |
3,445 | You might want to read up on this thing called *editing*. | Oh very good comment, so witty. My point is that I think it’s inexcusable they could find *anybody* that couldn’t name a book, regardless of how much pressure they were under. |
3,446 | Yea if there was a mix where Lenny Kravitz was turned all the way down and someone with actual talent was turned up, it would sound way better. | You seriously believe Lenny Kravitz has no tal- oh that's right, I'm in r/music. |
3,447 | > I love her books. Do you know something about Cory that I don't? | He identifies as a man who identifies as a woman who identifies as a man. |
3,448 | When did you see it in Camden? I think I was at that show! Testament was the opener and Slayer was the co-headliner | That was the one my friend! Slayer played all of Seasons too i think. My neck was destroyed. I wanna say it was around 2010 or 11. |
3,449 | Winner: DuckDuckGo. Edit: I'm not sure if people get this. DuckDuckGo doesn't win by market share, it wins by the fact of not doing stupid stuff like Google does, such as integrating all sorts of diseases (Google+) into its products, disabling proper search functionality when searching for certain topics, etc. | Duckduckgo is useful and all. But in no sense is it a winner of any kind of search engine battle. |
3,450 | THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST | It's times like these you blah blah blah, It's times like these you blah boring blah, It's times like these you bleh blahbl b |
3,451 | While it is usually true that any publicity is good publicity this may be the exception to the rule. Yes, the ad makes us aware of their message. But in this case I think our reaction is more of a "Go fu*ck yourself" that we wouldn't have had against them if we didn't know about their message attempt. | IDK about you but I actually see them in a favorable light. Not everyone is going to have a GFY reaction... |
3,452 | Which benefits does this add over simply opening the Dropbox folder as we do already. I'm sure it's exciting for the Dropbox marketing department, but in practice, I can't really imagine it adding many real benefits | this change is actually nice. in the iphone/ipad office apps, you can only open and edit docs from skydrive or create new docs - you can't open from existing drop box folder. I assume this is going to allow you to also open from drop box.. which is important if you share a drop box account with multiple people, but don't share office 365 with them. |
3,453 | Your mad because hermoine wanted to encourage her friend who was about to walk through fire to face what might be the greatest evil the wizarding world has faced. That's seems like reaching for something to be mad about rather than being mad about something that should actually make you mad. | > > > That seems like reaching for something to be mad about. You've summed up modern "journalism". |
3,454 | Walton Goggins' "I knew it!" had our entire theater cracking up. There were some legitimately hilarious moments through the film, I noticed it a lot more than past Tarantino movies. | Throwing up the guns from the basement was classic Tino physical comedy. |
3,455 | I was always partial to Biolante. Backstory? Giant killer rose created from a scientist's daughter. Multiple forms? There's two or three if memory serves me right. | I was going to put that in. Orga beat it out though. That can be number 6. |
3,456 | I totally agree with that, the way I feel about that documentary honestly is that they were the ones get played by Kubrick. Some of that stuff really is in there (like the hallway shots and the tv not being plugged in) but people ended up reading way too much into it and kinda fell for Kubrick's trap. To me, it's a movie he made to purposely fuck with the people over analyzing his movies. | I'd agree to a point, but I felt the people in that documentary were just throwing darts at anything that could be randomly associated with grandiose symbolism. |
3,457 | Wow, cool, it's Paul McCartney, Metallica and the same 60 bands that play every single fucking festival. Can't wait. | There's only so many buzz bands to go around, and every festival having the same undercard means you can just go to whatever one is closest to you. |
3,458 | In the Shadows was, imo, the defining point of the original album. Why would they change it!? | The whole point was supposed to essentially remix the album. |
3,459 | Part of why I don't share my car is because I don't want other people messing it up. Cut up seats, poo and piss in all the places...no. People will destroy these cars just because they can. >.< Any Uber driver will tell you it happens. | Yep, just like how every AirBnB guest cums on the sofa and shits in the sink. Crazy how AirBnB just completely failed and never took off because all humans are monsters.... /s |
3,460 | :) Well, people seemed to like your post more than my joke so there's that! | Your joke was fine. The 9 copies of that you posted... not so fine. |
3,461 | No i agree with their desire for small government and lower taxes though | So does everybody, actually. Nobody wants to make the government bigger and more expensive. |
3,462 | I like Aesop, and he was one of the first rappers I got into (along with a lot of [other] Def Jux guys), but I think sometimes it's just over the top and unnecessarily wordy because he can or it fits his voice/flow. Maybe it's over my head, but it's not uncommon for me to sit back and think "What the fuck did he just say?" to myself. Not like "Holy shit that was brilliant" but more "That sounded like it meant nothing". | It's not over your head, that's exactly what the guy does. To me, a "lyrical genius" is somebody who can say the most with the simplest and fewest words. |
3,463 | I'll give you The Hobbit, but I could not imagine describing Lord of the Rings as a young adult book | For some SUPER strange reason, it happily resides in the children's section of your local library. I don't know why it's classified that way, but I guess it has something to do with the time frame it was published in? I don't really know. All I know is, when I checked it out at my local library, I looked everywhere in adult fiction and couldn't find it. When I asked my sister where it was because she works at the library, she informed me that the Lord of the Rings lives in the children's section. Well, in the older section of children's. |
3,464 | I'm afraid it's because most Star Wars fans are men and don't want to bang Anakin. But I agree, it is unfair. Lucas is a bad director, or at least an uninterested one, and it showed. | I think it has more to do with the fact that he was NOT a good actor in those movies. His expressions were terrible and he was just boring for the most part. At least Natalie Portman showed some emotion. |
3,465 | >They're using an app called FireChat that launched in March and is underpinned by mesh networking, which lets phones unite to form a temporary Internet. Err, this seems like a bad description. It's not forming a temporary Internet, it's forming a network. Internet implies it's forming some link between multiple networks, when it's not. | It's an NPR article. People in their 50s or older are reading it. It gives a basic understanding of the tech as much as practically needed. |
3,466 | Michael B. Jordan. Abraham Attah. Ryan Coogler. Myra Taylor. O'Shea Jackson Jr. | great actors, but you didnt get the point I was making. Edit: I see that you posted this response again, you do know there are other colors than black and white? |
3,467 | In the years following the first Harry Potter novel's publication, 8/9 year-old me felt nothing but irritation at the craze sweeping my Primary School. My indignation came from my love of Jill Murphy's 'The Worst Witch' series: I was hearing everyone gush about how original it was for J.K. Rowling to set a fantasy novel in an English boarding school for young witches and wizards, and as far as I was concerned that had already been done, and done well. When I got older I grew to appreciate the wonderful way in which novels borrow from other novels. That's not to say I grew any appreciation for the Harry Potter series: it never appealed and still doesn't. | My wife and I watch the Worst Witch movie every October, it's her absolute favorite. Did not know it was a book series. |
3,468 | Never said I had a panic attack. I also never said anything about glory. War does suck. But combat itself was the greatest rush I've ever fealt. I never even mentioned anything else. But hey... you can think whatever you like. I don't let strangers on the internet get to me. | When I was reading your post earlier, this Chris Hedges quote came to mind: "The rush of battle is often a potent and lethal addiction, for war is a drug." |
3,469 | You can do plenty of damage without admin rights. Yea I can't take control of your system, but if you have passwords saved locally or in your browser, boom I have your shit. Also browser sessions don't terminate on sleep, so that leaves a window where you are vulnerable until that session expires or is terminated in some other way. Also upside down screen, inverted colors, and an automated dutch voice repeating all your frantic actions as you frantically try to undo the shenanigans someone has afflicted on your system | > Yea I can't take control of your system, but if you have passwords saved locally or in your browser, boom I have your shit. That sounds like a problem with the browser, not the system. If they're not stored encrypted then that's retarded. |
3,470 | The Rocky Road to Dublin rendition doesn't strike me as a bad cover. To my ear it's a reasonably decent performance of a traditional song. ...The Kansas cover is terrible. [Here's] something to cleanse your ear-palate. [EDIT] Also, these Lepricorns people - well, I play in an Irish band, and listening to them has made me especially proud of myself and my bandmates' musical skill. | The rocky road one is just playing at the wrong tempo. It sounds like he's eager to finish. INTHEMERRYMONTHOFJUNE.... |
3,471 | I think it was the Penguin Classics version, although I'd have to check my book when I get home. It's a maroon hardcover book--I was looking it up online, but I didn't realize how many editions there were! I thought that some of the descriptions were a little long or unnecessary, but I also kind of feel like it keeps you "watching" somehow, to see if some minor detail turns out to be of importance. From my reading of the editions, I think it might be slightly abridged, though, so maybe that's why I feel that way. | The Robin Buss translation is unabrdiged and supposedly the best. I highly recommend that. |
3,472 | How do you feel about the iPad now. I feel kinda 'eh about my mini. Good for pinball and some other casual games but I'm usually using either my laptop or my phone otherwise. I like it but can just ... imagine living w/o one again | It became sort of spurious once I got a Note 4. Also, I can usually type faster on my phone anyhow. |
3,473 | Ha, I'd almost be okay with a single IO port if that wasn't the same port you used for the charger. Da fuck? | There's nothing wrong with having USB3.1 show off its function. Of course, there is something wrong with not having more I/O ports and such, but well, somebody out there decided there was a market for limited functionality. Hopefully, people start giving Lenovo their business instead of Apple as a result. |
3,474 | Yes! That thing. Wait. Wtf are we talking about? Never read them. Wanna let me in on the secret? | [Wouldn't want to rob you of the pleasure, sir.] |
3,475 | > You can't rename multiple files at once. #[HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA] Thanks. for. proving. you. don't. know. ##shit. If you're not embarrassed enough then apologize for being wrong and I'll fucking set you straight on the rest of your stupid crap. You've no idea how bad you're gonna get torn up on that Task Manager thing. > Look I can pick random shit too. **You mean PULL random shit out of your ass that's not even true!** What a joke. | You just ignored the rest dawg. Grats on finally getting that as a new feature. Something windows has had since the dawn of time. |
3,476 | And if you make a typo and enter 193.168 then they’re IP wrongs | But 192.169.xxx.xxx will get you all the porn you want. |
3,477 | My whole life has been a lie since I discovered that Barry Manilow did not write "[I Write the Songs]" | The best part is that he really did wrote most of his other hits. |
3,478 | >this new film won’t be in the same timeline as the James Cameron classics. Well apparently they are totally doing the Star Trek thing. I don't know about Arnold "staring". He's way too old to be playing either a robot or a resistance fighter. A smaller role as a military leader sure. | What about a CGI Arnie? The one in T4 looked pretty good, bet they can do it a little better now. |
3,479 | As someone who has read the books up to the Carnival one as a kid, is it worth going back to finish the series as an adult? I never did find out what happened to that damned Olaf. | If you want to know what happened to Olaf, then yes. There are some threads left hanging at the end though. |
3,480 | I was in a treatment center when I was 14. I apparently read too much so they banned me from reading. Book restriction. As someone who grew up reading copious amounts of books to escape from a hellish reality, this was unbearable. So I stole books from school, and I would stay in the bathroom all night saying I had diarrhea and I'd read. Shampoo bottles were my quick fix. | Banned you from reading, were they *insane*? What assholes! |
3,481 | Ah this is what I was scrolling through the comments for. You never disappoint comment section! | it spent me all of 12 mins on google to find it, ppl are lazy lol |
3,482 | This man changed my childhood (and my online life) for the better with his books. Rest in peace :( | Aw. =( Internet hugs to you, Puddington. (For anyone wondering: redditor for 2 years. Legit.) =| |
3,483 | You couldn't avoid this song. There was a time I went to a theater and heard this song before the previews in the lobby, then two more times during movie trailers. Most people who lived through that innundation still hate this song. | It was almost as painful and played out as that horrible Nickelback song. |
3,484 | What I'd like to know is when Cisco plans to sue the US government for destroying their overseas business. | As opposed to any other company whose box gets shipped that could be intercepted by any other government? I don't think this is a US only or Cisco thing. In the meantime in the US has branded the Chinese competitor Huawei as working with the Chinese military (fair or not) killing them in the US leaving Cisco to thrive in one of the biggest markets.... |
3,485 | What about Gladiator? "Now we are free. And I will see you again. But not yet. Not yet. | An action movie with a soul, such a great movie. |
3,486 | Does he think it'll hurt him? Or help younger DJs. Because at this stage the cult following of deadmau5 is unlikely to abandon him if he were to drop off the top 20 | After seeing his tumblr posts, I don't think he's worried about anything hurting him like that. He seems to be content with being able to live in comfort, and make music for the diehard fans who will stick around after the edm genre has become even more watered down than it is now. |
3,487 | They should investigate why their opinion articles are such trash. | They have plenty of great opinion peices, but expecting to always agree or like them is plain stupid. They're opinions, they aren't supposed to appeal to everyone. It's par for the course in any major new outlet, they're opinion columnists will often consist of a variety of reputable folks with fairly prestigious backgrounds and absolutely no one is expected to agree with all or even most of them. Judging a newspaper off a single or even a number of opinion pieces is very dumb, imo. I don't like most WSJ opinion pieces and yet I know it to be a top quality paper. |
3,488 | I hoping for less Wolverine, but I'm sure he'll show up just in time to save the day.....in both movies. | If Jackman stops playing Wolverine then I feel like Wolverine will become balanced. Right now we get so much of him because Jackman and the character is a constant. No one else really shines. When another actor takes over they won't have the same impact right away. Jackman has said he wants to play Wolverine for a while, but now he's saying that he's not totally set on a sequel to The Wolverine. So who knows? One day he has to hang up the claws though. |
3,489 | The only songs of his I listen to are Golddigger and Bound 2 and that's because they are so bad that they're good. I won't listen to the rest of his stuff on principle because he is the biggest doochebag on the planet. | That's just ignorant. Also, how is Golddigger "so bad it's good"? Not my favorite off the album but i wouldn't call it a bad song. Great hook and the third verse is really good. |
3,490 | The infrastructure isn't ready for what is required to deliver 4k. So they create caps to get people to use the high end caps because for all streaming under 4k, 20Mb/s is fine. Oh and come to my neck of the woods where Suddenlink has 350GB cap | AT&T offers 300GB caps on their lower plans. Because I'm on a Premium Plan, 75mbps, it is 600GB. |
3,491 | Didn't they go through a whole bit where they advocated the denial of the link between HIV and AIDS? Ninja edit: Yes- So, that's something. | That was only one of the members though (guitarist?). I think they eventually told him to get his shit together and that was the end of that. |
3,492 | >[Vader absorbed the energy from the blaster bolts] (a technique which has been used by multiple people in the Star Wars universe). That's all EU legend now | > That's all EU legend now. Nah, it made it into the new canon as well (albeit, I'm not sure if the name made it). That page just hasn't been rewritten yet to differentiate between old canon and new canon. |
3,493 | I disagree. I just think most of the people who could, don't want to. Mainstream pop is about keeping things "fresh" but not too far away from what mainstream pop listeners (read: non-musicians) are used to. I'll admit, it does take musical knowledge and a willingness/work ethic to listen to what the audience already likes, and put the pieces together, but it's just that. It's like finishing a puzzle, as opposed to painting a picture. Real geniuses blaze trails. They make me like something (or think about something) I haven't really thought much about, if at all. Pop stars (today at least) follow in the wake. They make you like them because the music is similar to what you already like. | > who could, don't want to. Yeah, I mean I *could be* a multimillionaire in my 20's writing songs for Ke$ha, but its just so below me, you know? Fuck off. |
3,494 | I was twelve when this album came out. It changed my life and still blows my mind how good it is. | So what, you're 16 or 17 now? Quit talking like you're so old and you've grown so much, if you still listen to this you really haven't grown up at all. |
3,495 | This cover of the [F. Scott Fitzgerald Barnes & Noble collection] is one of my absolute favorites. Something about the style and the color really stands out. I bought it the minute I saw it, even though I own the two novels included and don't care too much for short stories. | My friend was showing my some Barnes and Noble edition books and the covers were all pretty great, popping with color and excellent art work and layout |
3,496 | Is there an audiobook version you would recommend? I've been wanting to read this and I enjoy audiobooks, but I'm *really* picky about narrators. A bad narrator can make a great story unbearable. | > Brothers. This is the main point right here. With Real books, it takes the readers discipline to learn about the characters. There's usually a boring stage in most books before the writer introduces the dilemma. But it gets more boring when it's an audiobook. In my opinion, current audio-book companies don't deliver the right tone with the book. When i listened to Brothers karamazov, the reader uses older style of English tonality & dramatises the characters based on their time. The audio-book readers of Most Karamazov's book should also have the Despondency, old age or youth that the speaker of the story fits. |
3,497 | If they're so strict about web usage, they probably won't take too kindly to you trying to find ways around it. The question is if you care about your job? | Well yes, I care. Its just the little things they monitor "non work related stuff" e.g. kotaku possibly and esp reddit |
3,498 | If you haven't read Pratchett or Anthony, read Pratchett first. And then, instead of reading Anthony, read Pratchett again. Unless you are a 13-15 year old boy. | And then don't read either of them, and read Douglas Adams instead. |
3,499 | Such an underrated company. I love my PPI amp. Very clean signal. | Crunch back in the day also, before they went to the blue n silver amps with the meter in the front. My Z5050 was a complete BEAST! |
