4,200 | I'll be honest, I grew up on Adam Sandler. We all get old, and over time, we all grow up. Adam Sandler may not be the hottest actor now, but we all rise and fall with the best of them. I, personally, love the guy. He made my youth more meaningful with the likes of Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy, and The Waterboy. We can even throw Bulletproof into the mix. Either way, Adam Sandler, you have my approval. | Pixels wasn't bad either. Grown Ups and Grown ups 2 are great feel good movies. I love the Sandman, and it pains me to see the hate he gets on this sub. |
4,201 | Sorry I deleted a couple because it reposted several times. And the reason I said it was cause he's not a fan whatsoever. | I knew what you meant, I was just messin with ya. |
4,202 | I'm going to get slayed for this. I walked out of The Raid 2. It was a 11 PM showing. I made it to about an hour and twenty minutes. I just couldn't stay awake for the whole film. I didn't hate it. I was just disappointed that there was SO MUCH exposition and dialogue between action scenes. I couldn't stay awake. I still want to finish it. It'll be on my own time though. | I fell asleep during it as well, but I was watching it on DVD. The movie seemed so long and it was after a hard days work. I need to go back to it though |
4,203 | Can anyone explain why he fought against this prize for so long | He was very happy and humble to be named Nobel Laureate. He did take his time responding but I don't think it was out of arrogance. He doesn't like awards ceremonies as he's been given nearly every award and honorary degree on earth that a person can receive. It is written in Nobel Academy rules that recipients do not have to attend any ceremony and a few people before him have decided not to attend for personal reasons. He happens to be touring in Sweden soon so he will stop by to physically pick up the award. He already accepted it in December with a very gracious written speech. |
4,204 | The tred poster is a copy of a Bollywood movie named Ra.one. Look at the tred character and look at [this.] | They're all send-ups of movie poster tropes. I doubt it was inspired by just one film. |
4,205 | Their self-titled debut album is still one of my favourite albums ever. | Same! Was hoping to find a comment bringing up their first album. Also "Without You I'm Nothing" has some of my favorite songs ever. Such a shame their sound changed so much after Steve Hewitt left. |
4,206 | It wasn't awful, and it definitely had it's moments. There have been far worse movies made of books. Stephen Fry was an excellent choice for the book (although Peter Jones was better). I didn't really think Ford being American worked very well. Tim from the Office was an OK choice for Arthur but he wasn't as good as Simon Jones in the TV version. | I don't have a problem with Ford being American (that'd explain the accent..), and I don't have a problem with Zaphod being American, and I don't have a problem with Trillian being American... But... They all are at the same time. As much as I love the film, and as much as I love all three of the main supporting actors and what they did with the characters, I'm still a bit conflicted about this so quintessentially British piece of fiction being so darn American. |
4,207 | There could be ulterior motives for pricing them incorrectly, sure. Doesn't change the fact that they are priced incorrectly. Iphones are priced correctly. If they were as under-priced as concert tickets, scalpers would buy them off the shelves and resell them at a premium. | That is not really accurate, as there is little to no long term scarcity when it comes to iPhones. They can make as many as they want long term. A correct example would be something like Yeezy sneakers. Whether the supply is artificially reduced or logistically reduced, like for a concert, the result is the same. |
4,208 | Zack Snyder did not direct Suicide Squad and look what happenned. | I'm talking about the picture that he posted. It has no relevance to Wonder Woman or Suicide Squad because Snyder didn't direct either of those. |
4,209 | So its only okay to talk if you produce something substantive? Fuck you. | Comments like this one is a perfect example of that. |
4,210 | I would HIGHLY recommend "Pirate Lattitudes" by Crichton. You won't be able to put it down. Think Pirates of the Caribbean, but historically accurate (for the most part) and way more serious. | I really couldn't get that one started. I loved Next though holy shit was that a ride. It was like 12 Monkeys or Gattaca like fucked and had a child that was amazing long ass book |
4,211 | >this is necessary to ensure customer security and to protect children. Jesus christ. | if someone gives me that argument my reply would be that i can't do business with them because i am against child exploitation, or some other awful thing so they sound guilty by association. |
4,212 | Seriously, they live like [10 minutes]@40.5783036,-111.8903476,14z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x875288650b68302f:0xe189766cfb7347d3!2m2!1d-111.8928577!2d40.5904671!1m5!1m1!1s0x87527d5dfe8c0a37:0x452645297e407d7e!2m2!1d-111.8522203!2d40.5677512) from the library. Parents need to try a little harder. | What part of "we don't have a car or money for a bus pass" don't you understand? Why don't you click the 'walking' option on that "like 10 minutes from the library" route you linked. I assume you won't be able to respond because you're off walking your kids to the library an hour each way. Stand up parent that you are. |
4,213 | And yet YIFY, whose 720 quality is worse than a DVD are the most torrented rips. Why? Because people would rather have things now as long as they can see who is who on screen. I know a lot of people who have limited usage caps and watch 480 Netflix all the time. I, more than most, care about watching high quality but in this case... Get off your high horse. | This absolute bullshit and shows that you don't have any idea how it works. 480p dvds have insane file sizes if you don't reencode. More than 1080p h264 at netflix or other streaming services. If you want to wast you bandwith cap with wasteful dvdrips it is your problem. |
4,214 | I was so outraged when Kelly Clarkson blatantly ripped off this masterpiece. Like just listen to [this] | Thanks. I didn't need some sad excuse of a cover to convince me they sound similar. That was painful. |
4,215 | If you're looking for Of Mice and Men, but finding Of Monsters And Men, then you're looking in the completely wrong place, my friend. | haha, indeed I quite like them both as bands, he was just referencing the wrong one is all... |
4,216 | Yeah i rarely laugh during comedy movies by myself. With other people though the atmosphere is just better. Same with stand up. Comedy is just something that's easier to enjoy with other people. | Exactly. That's why I was saying to some friends that's there's no way I'd watch Dirty Grandpa without our group because there's no way I would've laughed at 80% of the stuff I did without a few other people there to bounce some laughter off of. |
4,217 | Not OP, but is taking notes recommended? I've never really read NF and I'm wanting to get into it. | What I do is after every chapter I write down (in the book itself) a couple of words about what I just read. Every time I want to recall something I quickly browse through my 'notes'. Saves me time and effort. Works with fiction equally as good (that's what I did for my literature classes back in the day when I had to read tones of books and make sure I remember everything for tests and essays). |
4,218 | There are 66 individuals with a writing credit on "Lemonade" ([wikipedia] Without more information, it's very presumptive to assume any specific lyrics in the album are personal to Beyonce. Trivia fact: [Carol King] wrote or co-wrote one hundred and eighteen Billboard 100 hits during her career, and most of those were not performed by her. Many artists do not write their own lyrics and music. | Sure, but this is an album that is clearly about infidelity. It's bizarre that Beyonce would make such an album (and accompanying movie) that **heavily** explores feelings of rage, betrayal, dishonesty etc. about her husband if there was nothing to it. The fact that a lot of people work on the lyrics doesn't mean that she has no control over the direction and content of her work. |
4,219 | Some choice quotes just from today's read. "9 times outta 10, if a woman gets raped it's her own fault." "This isn't the kind of situation where women get a vote." | Oh yeah...Definitely sexist! Thanks. Do you think that's just the character, or the author? I will have to read it again (It's been a few years, but I remember the word "Grok"). |
4,220 | I remember to this day when that episode came out how bad everyone said it was, from now on Ill just tell people to wait a decade before judge anything. | You just sorround yourself with assholes. Get some new friends - that epi was totally tits from the getgo |
4,221 | Great shout! Now I know what a TV dinner feels like... | *"Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs..."* |
4,222 | I kind of agree with you, I've never been a big fan. I enjoy the bass though. | flea is an awesome bass player. he is the only redeeming quality of this otherwise horrid band who's fans are exclusively retarded. |
4,223 | I'm the only person who doesn't love his cover. The lyrics and mood of the song are too young and immature for Cash's voice. Like it's supposed to be a song for someone who's never had to do something this terrible before and Cash puts too much experience behind it. Thoughts? | No, you aren't the only one. NIN original version is better to me. The only song in this series I find passable at all is Empty Cage, because it's a major reinterpretation of the song. He made it acoustic and with a C&W twang which it DID NOT have in the Soundgarden version I love them both! |
4,224 | Since Android is open source, would I be able to download the ISO and install it on my phone, even though it doesn't automatically update the system? Would the system spec requirements suddenly shoot up (I'm on Android 4 ATM)? | In addition to what /u/miqers said, (if your bootloader is unlocked/you are willing to do that) check out the [XDA forum] for your phone in the next few months, I expect 6.0 roms to show up soon. |
4,225 | I'm wondering if the guy that superman slammed thru 2 walls to save Lois lived. I would think not. Also Batman doesn't say who gets killed in prison. I would think the fact that the people who got killed in prison ran child sex rings and such went to prison. that's a common thing. Also i don't get why having a batman brand would get you killed in prison. | The brand thing makes sense if he only targets child sex traffickers or people who he got to talk first. Otherwise yeah, it doesn't make sense. |
4,226 | Yes, but it is an expensive technology - which is why one of the best selling phones, the Moto G, does not have NFC. | >Yes, but it is an expensive technology - which is why one of the best selling phones, the Moto G, does not have NFC. 1. It's not that expensive. It costs a couple cents per device (it's usually rolled into the battery costs, which is usually less than $5). 2. The Moto G didn't have that many sales. It sold a bit, but not on the same level as devices like the Nexus 5, let alone devices like the SGS5. The Moto G is designed to get costs down as much as possible, and as a result they cut every corner they could without sacrificing performance. |
4,227 | SMS blocking is the responsibility of the SMS app. It hardly needs to be an OS-level feature. In Android, the app you use for SMS is fully modular. | Before 4.4, you could get apps that could intercept your texts before they got to the sms app. Google then decided to break this in 4.4 for no apparent reason. |
4,228 | Weird, it's like one of my favorite songs by her. | I ran a Glee Camp because I had to in order to get the acting camp gig last summer at my camp. That was the goddamn song they chose. |
4,229 | Oh, I didn't know the only impact we were looking at is dead people... /s | Oh, you want to get into global warming? Ocean acidification? Nuclear is MUCH better than coal when it comes to environmental impact. |
4,230 | Actually it's nothing like that. There is so far no replacement for reading. A 100 word article on reddit about neuroscience is not a replacement for a 400 page book on the same topic. It simply can't be. | And this is the snobby attitude I was talking about, thanks for the example! |
4,231 | Wow, you put it better than I could ever have done. Her moral compass is just so off sometimes, but at the same time I can't entirely disagree with her actions. Reading the story unfold from her point of view always feels like a rollercoaster ride to me. But since I haven't finished the books (as of now), I can't finalize my thoughts on her character yet. Thanks for the input! | I agree with you that it is hard not to agree with Lisbeth. It is quite odd how the reader never quite feels that what she does is exactly wrong, even though it most certainly is by the standards of the law or even common sense. Perhaps it is because she feels such a strong moral sense of rightness in what she does that it is hard not to sympathize with her. I hope you end up enjoying the series as much as I did! |
4,232 | At best any work done would match the energy required to "suck out the air". Since no system is perfect, you would actually lose energy to friction. Also, with any surface area, the larger the area, the shorter the distance it is moved by a unit volume of air. Two differently sized pistons do exactly the same amount of work for a given input of pressurized fluid (air). You either trade force for distance traveled, or vise versa. | I think you've misunderstood it. The forces will be exerted over the same distances. |
4,233 | Kid A was hot garbage in my opinion. I'm definitely a "The Bends" and "In Rainbows" kind of guy. Also, I couldn't help but chuckle at your disdain for the first album. I have yet to meet a fan who will admit they like "Pablo Honey". | Because Pablo Honey is mostly boring, standard, 90s rock fare. And when compared to any of their other albums it gets completely blown away. |
4,234 | Librarything has better metadata and is the smart choice if you want to catalogue a library. Goodreads is fine for spamming Facebook, but the data really sucks. | I agree. LT is great for cataloging. Goodreads seems to be more about OMG I MUST SHOW EVERYONE WHAT I'M READING. |
4,235 | ... there is literally a video of this man pissing on a 15 year old. What more "investigation" do you need? | I need his grandma there holding 2 forms of ID for him and saying "that's my boy" |
4,236 | We're not fucked. It's the contrary: now when a compromising video comes out, you can just claim it's fake. | That's why we're fucked: the erosion of truth and trust. Consider where society is today, and add this. Fucked. All of us. (you just can't tell by whom) |
4,237 | * Prominence - The Last of the Mohicans Soundtrack. * Sanvean - Lisa Gerard. * Gotez A Ran - Black Hawk Down Soundtrack | I was just about to suggest the Last of the Mohicans Soundtrack; beat me to it. |
4,238 | Just because it was the first riff you ever learned doesn't mean you played it as well and as nuanced as Malcolm Young could. Malcolm Young took rhythm playing to a whole other level. | Pretty sure Iommi already took it up a notch before Malcolm even did shit. |
4,239 | Only thing that **really** bugs me about that phone is the missing micro SD slot. Yes it has quite a bit of space built in, but I'd still like the option to expand it and put a crapton of music and films on there. Guess my next phone will be a Xperia Z2. | Why not the Z3? Really though the OnePlus has enough storage. I have mine full of stuff and there still loads of room left. |
4,240 | [Weezer - Pinkerton] [The Strokes - Room on Fire] Thanks! | For Weezer: Sunny Day Real Estate - Diary. The Get Up Kids - Something to Write Home About. Jawbreaker - Dear You. For The Strokes: Elvis Costello - This Year's Model. Lou Reed - Transformer. The Orwells - Remember When. Richard Hell & the Voidoids - Blank Generation |
4,241 | I think it's great. Chaos and the unexpected make this world beautiful. | Yeah, that's one thing. But having an entitled pisspot throw a fit and refuse to send you what you paid for isn't great. It's like in grammar school, when you and your mates want to play with the football, but the lads that have it don't want you to play, so they puncture it and take the air out. It's a childish fit. He hates money, but seems to be alright begging for it. As long as it isn't his right? |
4,242 | 10$ a month for unlimited music and no adds is to good to pass up. | 10$ a month for unlimited music and no adds is *too* good to pass up. |
4,243 | I just read The Long Walk last week! I like it quite a bit too. I took the ending as a more negative outcome than ambiguous though. | Yeah I guess I did have a bad feeling at the end. It was classic Stephen king in dialogue both internal and external though and I have no idea how they are going to make it into a movie. |
4,244 | Robots have no feelings that's why they are better then humans. | that's very robotist of you. Robots can feel just as much as me.....that's not good is it? |
4,245 | You keep saying I'm kind. In your case, not at all, I'm honest. And what do you mean "your winnings"? | Well thank you! :) I mean it would feel like I'm in the band only to show off my own band, I don't know.. lol |
4,246 | Nice post can't wait to hear the new album! Nice to see them doin acoustic version too! | Yeah it is nice, but, I think this one will sound better with the full on electric treatment. Its got some sweet riffage going on. |
4,247 | It was incredible, the continuing shots very beautiful. It was hilarious while at the same time very very interesting. I am more than pleased with this movie. | What I really liked about the continuing shot was how well it blended with that incredible music. For almost the the entire film, all you hear is this jazzy drum solo that really puts you on edge. The continuous shot, while awesome to look at, also felt very claustrophobic. Even when they were outside it felt like you were trapped in a narrow corridor. And then, all of a sudden, it opens up, Keaton's flying around, and the music changes to Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 2. I'd heard it in the trailer but still, that song just blew my mind with how beautiful it was and how well it fit into the film. |
4,248 | You're just describing investing in general. The difference with Kickstarter is you invest a smaller amount and instead of a monetary return, you get goods or services; but monetary or not, investing is a risk. | That's not investing, That's just buying a product. Except in the case of kickstarter, a product that's not proven and usually doesn't even exist yet. |
4,249 | Some kind of sharing economy automated cars (say, something like Uber but with self-driving cars) would work well for dense urban environments. It wouldn't work very well in suburban or rural environments, for the same reason Uber doesn't; if the car has to drive half an hour to get to your house to pick you up, not only are you waiting forever, but the gas wasted and extra maintenance costs make it very much an uneconomical option. For people who don't live in cities, it's going to be either privately owned self-driving cars, or no self-driving cars. | I can drive from one end of my city to the other in half an hour. Why would the taxis not wait somewhere a little closer to anticipated passengers? Such as in their driveway, presuming its a regular commuter who leaves the house at the same time each day? |
4,250 | I think they are going to find some costume for him once he joins the Justice League. | he will have a costume, but it will include him being at least partially topless |
4,251 | Sphere is one of my favorite books of all time. (Such an awful movie though....) | Since you're the second person to mention Sphere, I think I'll read that one after I finish Timeline! Thanks! :) |
4,252 | Weren't parts of Ep. VII shot in IMAX format? Forgive apparent pedantry, but that would mean that some of Ep. VII was shot on 65mm film. | Yes. The escape from Jakku scene was shot on 65mm IMAX film. There were only around 20 theaters world wide that showed it though. I was lucky enough to be able to see it playing where I live. |
4,253 | I liked Grown Ups. Boring lonely night, wandering on the streets, had nothing to do other than looking at couples cuddling each other, walked in to the cinema, bought the ticket for whatever that was about to be shown at the time, genuinely enjoyed Grown Ups. But I turned away from the second one after just seeing the trailer. | I liked it as well. I'm a fan of Sandler and his cohorts, so I genuinely enjoyed just watching them messing around for an hour and a half, with the added bonus of Selma Hayek. |
4,254 | Slint - Spiderland. MBV - Loveless. Talk Talk - Laughing Stock. Moonshake - Eva Luna. The Magnetic Fields - The Wayward Bus. Cardiacs - Sing To God. Wu-Tang Clan - Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) Slowdive - Souvlaki. XTC - Nonsuch. Stereolab - Emperor Tomato Ketchup. Swans - Soundtracks For The Blind. Weezer - The Blue Album. Primal Scream - Screamadelica. Megadeth - Rust In Peace. Death - Human. The Gerogerigegege - Tokyo Anal Dynamite. Fugazi - Repeater. Depeche Mode - Violator. The Cure - Wish. Blur - Parklife. The Chemical Brothers - Exit Planet Dust. Portishead - Dummy. American Football - American Football. Bjork - Debut. Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die. | American Football is probably the single most important record in my life. I've been listening to it since I was 17 (26 now) and it's just so powerful. The musicianship and songwriting are so good and the record is hugely influential. I was so happy to see all the good press it got upon reissue. Got me a double vinyl set too! |
4,255 | >Only 25. I'm 24 bro and I saw it all. Wanna throw down? | I'll bring the limp bizkit CD, you bring the surge. |
4,256 | Thank you for posting Trampled by Turtles. Whiskey is one of their best! | Seeing this comment made me give them a listen. They're great. As of now Whiskey and Codeine are on repeat! |
4,257 | True. I don't quite know how all of the credit works legally, but the people in the industry know where to look for ghostwriters (in acknowledgement pages, for example.) I suppose I still find the profession fascinating psychologically. The fact that these writers are often named in plain sight, and yet hidden, famous in the underbelly of the book writing business... | It is definitely an interesting place to be. Particularly because society builds up the idea of authors as artists with a vision so often. Ghost writers are the antithesis of that. It's not that they aren't great writers but they rarely make art and they aren't pursuing some vision. |
4,258 | Vocal minority. I doubt every rock fan who positively comments on a rap video starts with "As a rock fan...". | I guarantee you it isn't a vocal minority for people aged greater than 30. |
4,259 | The one feature i would love to see in Windows 10 is better theme and UI customization. Professionally made native dark/night-mode would be incredibly nice. | Agreed. I gave up on trying to get my Windows machine to use a dark theme because stuff would break or look inconsistent. It needs a lot more than what the themes provide. Unfortunately, many major programs don't work well with the idea of a dark theme, since you don't want bright menus and stuff. Fortunately dark themed programs are on the rise, especially where programming tools are concerned. |
4,260 | 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. | [Here's a link] to the original security blog thing. I still don't think I'd classify this as a code injection vulnerability. |
4,261 | YES I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO DO "DID I EVER WAKE UP?" SEMINARS ALL OVER THE WORLD AT COLLEGE CAMPUS's! | What are the steps a college community must take to book you? Should we just use the booking email? |
4,262 | I can't remember the last time I used Windows and [vague nonspecific complaint] didn't happen, causing me to have to resort to [implausible solution nobody would do], too. | point is man in place upgrades hardly ever go smoothly no matter the operating system, and while windows upgrades aren't one-click they have been around since the 9x days. |
4,263 | He says you see what I did there, and I don't know why. What did he do? | >I mean.....if it were that easy, anyone could do it, right? (See what I did there?) He was saying electronic music is so easy, anyone could do it. No need to learn instruments or have any skill or have your person projected, with all of its imperfections and qualities, into the audience. So what he did was start by saying, "Hey, I'm not ripping on electronic music, because I love it," and finish by insinuating that electronic music is so easy that anyone could do it. In other words, it's fun to listen to, but it takes no talent. Dave's words, not mine. |
4,264 | I am a simple man, I see King Crimson and a wall of text, I upvote. | I’m an old man, and react the same way. The soundtrack of my youth. |
4,265 | Check out what Ginger Baker says about Jack Bruce: | That was an eye opening documentary. Thank you so much for posting it! |
4,266 | My first thought was. >punk song. >5:38. >wat. Also, 52 seconds? That's about 2.6 D.R.I.'s. The song is still great because it's hard to go wrong with Led Zeppelin, but it's definitely more standard Zep than punk. I was hoping they'd double their tempo and perform at Minor Threat speed. Edit: in b4 The Decline, Streetlight, etc. | I like the idea of using DRI as a unit of measurement. |
4,267 | Have you ever encountered a woman you couldn't physically overpower? It's a two way street, but it's not an equal two way street. | Physically? Maybe. Yet you missed that many women have other powers to make his life hell. Also, sexual harassment isn’t always in physical form and not all problems can be solved by making it physical. |
4,268 | Granted it would be better with Spiderman and the Xmen. But I can see them setting up a rift between Cap and Stark, and blasting the Hulk through the wormhole Thanos came through could be the final straw that sets the stage. Stark goes political and backs the registration act, Cap goes underground. It sets the stage for a Heroes for Hire movie (assuming the series goes well), AntMan 2, Cap v Iron Man, Inhumans, and Planet Hulk, the last of which ends with Hulk heading back to earth. | I think the biggest problem is that very few of them use a secret identity in the MCU. Tony Stark is way public, Steve Rogers is plastered all over his exhibit, Black Widow's speech at the end of cap 2. Thor has made no attempt to hide his origins, hell he tends to blab about it. Banner and Clint are the only ones that are "secret" ish. I think civil war only works when there are droves of heroes to "protect the identity of". I'm not saying it couldn't be set up, just I don't think they made many moves to go this direction. |
4,269 | > You are using quotes. > > > > "I do not think they mean what you think they mean." FTFY. EDIT:Oh, never mind. | You are quoting him, I do not think quoting means what you think it means. |
4,270 | > He began pretty much everything that Stalin then continued. That's not true, though. Stalin doubled-down on Lenin's bullshit. The fact that Lenin wanted Trotsky to rule upon his death because he thought Stalin was too extremist was the entire birth of the Stalin/Trotsky feud. Though I admit my only source is reading their wikipedia pages a couple of months ago. | > The fact that Lenin wanted Trotsky to rule upon his death. Hmm, not really. Not wholly, at least. Lenin never explicitly named a successor. This is one of his biggest flaws. It's retarded too cus it's not like his death was sudden, he slowly died over the course of years, and never named anyone. Then he just left his last will and testament which basically just slagged off everyone. Sure, he hated Stalin, but not really for the extremist reasons you said. He mostly hated Stalin because he was rude to Lenin's wife. |
4,271 | You say that in a show where a man literally blue himself? | Haha, definitely. Regardless of the insane situations the main cast found themselves in, they were never over the top with their performances. Short, however, was just loud. |
4,272 | Lonesome Dove is my favorite book I've ever read, whether or not you like westerns, it's just an amazing story. But I cannot for the life of me get through Blood Meridian. I've started and stopped three times, never making it 1/3 of the way through. I just don't like the way he writes. I can't remember any other book I've just given up on, much less this many times. I WANT to like it, I just can't do it. | I love Lonesome Dove. Currently rereading through one of the prequels "Commanche Moon". Has my favorite character of the series, Inish Scull. Sadly, I don't think it is as good as Lonesome Dove, but worth checking out if you haven't. |
4,273 | It's more that it will never compete with a huge expensive cinema system. | It's more that it already is, which is why this discussion exists. Come out of denial. |
4,274 | Man, there are a ton of factors here. At a big press, advances range from 30k to millions of dollars for a single book. If you want to pick an average random book, I dunno, 200k in costs? But again, the range is huge (mainly because of the range in advances) | I find it very difficult to believe that the "average random book" has anywhere near 200K in costs. Especially for a large and well established publisher. |
4,275 | Mine is the drum break in "the air tonight" by Phil Collins/ Genesis | I thought this was going to be the top comment. Of course now I always think of "The Hangover"... |
4,276 | Another idiot judging my opinion on false premises... as if you can only judge the CG of something you've seen in real life. Dumb ass fanboy with dumbass fanboy taste. That's what you are. Eat up JJ's shit fanboy. | How is it a false premise? Do you know what Maz's species is suppose to look and sound like? All your criticisms of the way the character looked happened in a time when cgi done by the same artists in the same movie looked great. |
4,277 | >As merchants give us more business, we will give them better pricing. My gosh, the entitlement. Seriously, charging transaction fees to move some numbers around autonomously in a computer? Go fuck yourself, it's the 21st century. Somebody please put these douchenozzles out of business. | I'd love to, but state [MSB] regulations make it very tough for new businesses to do that legally. |
4,278 | You should read the article more carefully. It cites its source, a report published in *Science*: | Oh yes. But I was criticizing the journalism. Note how the abstract you linked me to says nothing about sound or light waves being time reversible or not. I'm just saying this write up was bad. |
4,279 | Vonnegut's most widely recognized work is *Slaughterhouse-Five*, but I would argue *Mother Night* and *Cat's Cradle* are superior pieces of literature. | Good choices. I'd add *Player Piano* to that list as well. |
4,280 | Any bot that auto removes articles, the keyword list should be publicly visibly | That is something we would definitely do, as of now, we don't remove based on keywords. |
4,281 | Depending on your budget, go 970, it is worth every penny. But if budget is a concern go 960. There is such a massive jump between the 900 series and the 700 series that it's best to go with the 900s. It may be a little more expensive ($40 between the 970 and 770) but trust me, in my eyes you will be losing money if you go 700. | > There is such a massive jump between the 900 series and the 700 series that it's best to go with the 900s. There isn't that much of a jump. The 980 is only slightly faster than the 780 Ti. According to [another WCCF article] the GTX 960 is only going to be slightly faster than the GTX 760. |
4,282 | and soon, hydrogen cars. Because if you already have the hydrogen why not. | Because you just wasted 2x the energy making the hydrogen. Instead of simplying recharging your car with say 100kW that comes from a power plant. You must now spend 200kW to make enough hydrogen and get only 100kW of power out of it. |
4,283 | Have you listened to NOFX? They most certainly are. | lol, yeah, I've been listening to them since the early 00s. Yes, they have some songs that I would say sound like pop-punk, but as a whole I feel like they are punk. |
4,284 | Give it a watch - I lost faith in syfy but they pulled it out of the bag this time. I ended up buying all the books because I didn't want to wait for season 2 | I'll have to check it out. I still haven't forgiven them for having a few good episodes of warehouse 13 then turning it into 2 dimensional slapstick like eureka before it found its feet, such an awesome premise to waste. That and Stargate Universe. And Caprica. And Ascension. |
4,285 | Love the casting choices, I'm so excited about the film. Also, doubt they'll stick to the first book, have a feeling it'll start further forward and flash back quite a bit. I'm interested to see how they handle so many timelines though, considering there's some back story required for Roland too. | Stephen King alluded that it would be told linearly, which is to say as it was written but I am curious aswell to see how the multiple "whens" will work on screen. |
4,286 | Oh thanks for the reminder, I've been meaning to watch In Bruges for a while now. | Have you seen kiss kiss bang bang? I'd check it out if you haven't. |
4,287 | If you really think they'll lower prices when costs get lower.. | The race to the bottom is real. That's why places like walmart succeed. They're shitty and evil but they're cheap, and that's why customers shop there instead of other stores. |
4,288 | Falling Back to Earth, if you want their more metal side. Or anything off Visions, which is basically a Dream Theater album written by a band that didn't write their last good album over 10 years ago ^pleasedon'thurtme | Falling Back to Earth is my favorite so far! Also I haven't listened to it at all yet but I am in love with the cover for their newest album for some reason. |
4,289 | There's another choice which is to use Android anyway just not the Google apps since it's free and open source software. | Yeah, but they could be accused as a monopoly because other Google free android devices, are almost unavailable, maybe with the exception of Amazon. This mirrors the internet browser space monopoly. Android just needs a google free AOSP device in the marketspace, such as how Google is funding it's competitor Firefox to have them around in the marketspace. |
4,290 | 15 BILLION in profit... so they are laying off 55,000 workers.. Great company. | Definitely sad for the people, but it is a business. |
4,291 | I go looking for friends in the filthiest places. Not a bad album | When I hit rock bottom, the party has arrived :D |
4,292 | I'm 1/2 kidding - have 3GS and have been patiently waiting for a new, improved phone. And, apparently i will get that with 4GS. However, have to admit I am still a little dissapointed after all that build-up... | Eh be happy, the 3GS was a very good phone compared to the 3G, it didn't look a lot different but it was a much better in all the ways that matter. Likewise the 4S is likely to be a very refined decent phone. Also realistically the near term future probably only holds NFC and a larger screen on the iPhone 5 upgrade list (aside from the usual ram/proc spec bump), and neither are so epic to be really worth waiting. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual speed increases on the next generation are relatively minor. 4 Cores would seem to be pushing it, and thus we'll only get a faster A5 for i5. |
4,293 | She gets a lot of credit for what she has accomplished. She has won a ton of awards and has sold over 100 million albums in her lifetime. Saying she doesn't get enough credit is silly. | Oh right, I forgot people around here take awards and sales as a serious indicator of a person's skill, thank you for clearing up why everyone here takes the Grammys really really seriously and we're always talking about the current charts. Thank god people like Britney Spears are so totally respected for her awards and album sales I MEAN imagine if no one knew that Oops... I Did It Again is damn near flawless IMAGINE! |
4,294 | I really like how they have assigned seats now. I saw Gravity there and was really surprised when they asked me to pick a seat. I dunno, just made it feel more classy. | Yeah, the assigned seats are so much better. It was a total shit show before. When the Dark Knight came out I waited a week and half for things to calm down a bit before seeing it. I got there an hour and a half early on a weeknight to get in line and there were already at least 100 people ahead of me. So frustrating... |
4,295 | Just occurred to me that the major advantage of an electric brake system on the trailer--regenerative braking--would require electric motors on the trailer. This would defeat the cheap trailer rationale for the semi/trailer combo. | Regenerative braking just won't be terribly useful for trucks. It has the most benefit for stop and go traffic and trucks primarily do freeway driving. Maybe for downhill regen, but I don't think trucks are applying trailer brakes all that frequently going downhill. |
4,296 | Clause A, Paragraph 123, Point iv: *ALL CITIZENS ARE NOW LEGALLY CLASSIFIED AS FOODSTUFFS FOR GRAND COUNCILOR VARMON* | my mother had downs syndrome and MY FATHER ALSO HAD DOWNS SYNDROME |
4,297 | Don't they pull them out of public school and send them to a private school that's full of all idols though? | That's because they go to performing arts schools, not specifically idol schools |
4,298 | "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." -Arthur C. Clarke | On a related note, The Box was a horrible movie. |
4,299 | > we've been too busy protecting computers to notice. Ignorance is bliss I guess. your protection is worthless, same goes for all the other AV vendors. What good is AV if you only catch 75% ? It's fake security. It's probably still better than nothing for the average user, but only ever so slightly. I don't run AV, neither does my mother. I make sure her PC is always up to date and she does not execute code from unsafe sources. That's all you need to do ... what a wonderful world ! We don't need AV ! IT'S DEAD. source : I work in IT sec | Ignorance is bliss looks like it also applies to you. If you aren't running ANY av, how can you know you weren't compromised? Did you check every single ad server serving up ads to you and your mother? Even the best adblockers won't stop them all. While catching 75% ist as good as stopping all ads, it's better than stopping none. AV is a another layer of security on top of AdBlock and common sense. Source : also work in IT security |
