4,500 | so what you're saying is Limp Bizkit is one of the most influential bands ever? | In the same way that Bob Dylan is one of the greatest singers of all-time. Sure he hits all the notes, but that isn't everything. (He's still great as an artist though) Limp Bizkit might be influential looking back, but that doesn't mean that it's because they were any good. |
4,501 | In pre-production, starring Judi Dench and Josh Gad, and directed by Kenneth Brannagh. | Yeah it’s been in pre production for years though!!!! |
4,502 | I just remember loving that song in San Andreas. K-DST is the GOAT radio station. | I love all the radio stations from San Andreas, but the Vice City one will always win by a little bit. That era of music is a guilty pleasure and it's gotten to the point where now it's super nostalgic because of Vice City for me. |
4,503 | I'm glad you think he was so great, because he thought his fans were moronic idiots. His attitude toward his fans is one reason I never bought a single album of his. That and the fact that the lyrics he wrote were childish and stupid. | He might've had...interesting opinions about people, but that doesn't mean he wasn't a brilliant composer. I can understand getting put off by his attitudes but listening to zappa's music can be an eye-opening experience, regardless of what he said in interviews and some lyrics. |
4,504 | > to boost the total talk time for the latest iPhone to 25 hours. Guys, nobody measures smart phone battery life with talk time. Who even uses it to make audio calls? Use something more realistic like screen-on time. | I don't think I've talked on the phone a total of twenty five hours over the course of my entire life. |
4,505 | One of those laughs where you're not sure if they're crying or laughing? Sounds about right. | I assure you, it's a hearty laugh from the bottoms of my toes. T_D is the first thing I check in the morning and it's better than coffee. |
4,506 | Night watch, for those who haven't read them. Big action, big suspense, ticking time bomb, danger, complex characters, and most of the exposition can be portrayed on screen. | Would be so wonderful, and ITT we've been working on casting, but we need the perfect Carcer. Any suggestions? |
4,507 | Man I really want to do this with my life. Wonder how you'd get into that line of work? I mean, I work at a television station now, just a video editor but sound has always been my passion. | Foley is way harder than it looks. It can be very frustrating at times. |
4,508 | Goldeneye was actually pretty good, for a Bond film. Still a little campy, but I thought most of the camp worked. This is probably my favorite pre-Craig bond film. | From Russia With Love? Goldfinger? On Her Magesty's Secret Service? These were far from goofy films. |
4,509 | Tim Curry in 'Congo'. It is one of those 'It's shockingly bad, but I love it!' kind of films and Tim Curry's epically hammy performance is what makes it tolerable. I think it's justifiable to say that 'The Phantom Menace' was shockingly bad, so I'll go with Ray Park as Darth Maul. Could be because he only had two lines of dialogue (and they weren't spoken by him), but his performance was the only thing worth watching in the film aside from the closing credits. Kevin Costner, Alan Rickman *and* Morgan Freeman in 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves'. Another case of so-bad-so-good. | I never understood if Congo was a parody or actually just a terrible film, with Curry's City of Zinj Romanian (???) talk making it worth the watch |
4,510 | This is the best film ever that nobody knows about. | Have you ever seen the 2009 Chinese remake of Blood Simple, A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop? It's pretty good too. |
4,511 | I honestly couldn't get into these books. Read the first one but I really just bounced off the second. Tried a couple times. | The wheel turns, and some bitches like you missed the ride. Just kidding. The first book is a bit slow. I read the original version before it was split into two books when I was pretty young. Back then I didn’t really have much to do. Not sure I would have been able to get into them as an adult. |
4,512 | I like how in any action movie, half the city can be destroyed and it never seems to make the papers. | To be fair, there generally isn't a whole lot of reading that goes on in action movies. |
4,513 | Erin Morgenstern. I **loved** *The Night Circus* and I'd be super excited to see something else from her. According to her blog she has a draft of a new book, so maybe there will be a followup some day. | Haven't read it yet, but I love the cover. |
4,514 | Not likely. He's semi-retired. Only comes out of hiding for Spielberg and Star Wars. | I'm worried about what happens to Star Wars when he passes. He's in his 80s now, I believe. Not many movies are as defined by their music as Star Wars (even the prequels). |
4,515 | What if someone gets an actually important phone call that is more important than you being very, **very** mildly inconvenienced for a second? | Your phone should be off anyways, so it wouldn't matter. |
4,516 | It took a while for The Ways of Kings to grow on me, but I just dove right into the Mistborn and was consumed. Love it. I recognize how great The Stormlight Archive is, but Mistborn just seemed more...personal. And I loved the magic system and the logic to it. | Mistborn is an easier read, i agree, but having a thousand pages per book gives more room to develop the characters of SA, for me that was what Sanderson was lacking on his other books and he delivered on The Ways of Kings. |
4,517 | Why o' why do people have this misplaced, misguided notion that Google is some kind of benevolent benefactor? Google is literally right at the top of the heap of the offenders. They're the worst of the bunch, and yet they manage to maintain some kind of weird warm-fuzzy feel with the general population. The proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing. | They make better software and have a better ecosystem, and understand that their aim should be to make better products, not try and use business strategies to corner people and for them to use their products. Microsoft is one of the companies I hate the most. Windows 7 was a pretty good OS, windows XP was pretty good. One Note, and that's about it. |
4,518 | I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords. I thought about making a joke, but that would reflect poorly on me when they take over. | There's already plenty of evidence to make us look bad. |
4,519 | Two ways to solve it, and we need to use both: Technical barriers and legal barriers. Ideally the government not only won't be able to, but *can't.* | If it's not government, it's companies. And if it's not companies, it's crime syndicates. If there is control to be had it will happen, inevitably. |
4,520 | Because the FAA is corrupt? It's run by the airline industry which has no incentive to see this market expand. Why else would they be so slow? They're inept? | > FAA is corrupt? It's run by the airline industry. Ha! ?The airlines *wish* they ran the FAA. It would make life ridiculously easier if they did. |
4,521 | With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung... I can't believe I'm dyin' with my song unsung. | And if and when I die, won't you bury me alone, 'cause I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song! |
4,522 | Man, Bardem with the big roles in the near future, Captain Salazar and Frankenstein. | He already got the Oscar and he's already done a lot of critically acclaimed roles. It's time to get paid. |
4,523 | Overall, I agree with your assessment of his books. My personal favorites: **The Shining** **The Dead Zone** **Firestarter** **The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger** **Needful Things** **Insomnia** **The Regulators ( Bachman )** I also like all of his short stories but honestly in retrospect I am not a fan of much else. I read the rest of the Dark Tower series in hopes of understanding the mythos of the universe he created but meh, if you just read the list above you get as much as you really need to know. I find it easier to believe in pyrokenisis than the idea that a woman in a wheelchair managed to traverse the Way and survive being attacked by a giant robot bear. Just my opinion. | I'm really glad to see some love for *Firestarter*. I think it's a really under-rated book. [I did a re-read about it over here for Tor] - needless to say, beware of SPOILERS. |
4,524 | The sound and the fury by Faulkner. The first section is narrated by a mentally handicapped mute which goes in and out of time periods with no real lead up/explanation. Forced my way through only to give up on the second section which is narrated by someone else who jumps chronology even more/worse and then ends in a stream of consciousness with no thought to grammar, punctuation, etc. Fuck.That.Shit. | I understand why some authors occasionally do stream of consciousness sections with no punctuation, but it still tends to turn me off. I seem to recall pages of something of this nature in *Everything Is Illuminated*. |
4,525 | I haven't heard of Leviathan Wakes, but I'm going to check it out now... Thanks! Lol | You've probably found it by now, but it's James SA Corey. Book 1 of r/TheExpanse. |
4,526 | **"Are we human, or are we dancer?"** Also, Bob Dylan's **"Lay, lady, lay."** It's "lie" not "lay"... You LIE on a bed. | *sigh* The Killer's lyric is a reference to a Hunter S. Thompson quote. ^^Every ^^time ^^this ^^song ^^comes ^^up, ^^I ^^swear... |
4,527 | But in that case, using a child would be immoral, so they HAVE to use women. | no they don't, they can use CG and save EVERYONE the danger |
4,528 | It's interesting, and ambitious - but I'm wondering how good the encryption on it is. This would be the last thing you'd want someone to be manipulating illegally. | That was my first thought - "Birth control that can be controlled wirelessly? What could possibly go wrong with that?" |
4,529 | I'd like to hear how they are anonymizing the data. | How would they know who was riding a given bike? |
4,530 | I guess that's fair. I just wish he wouldn't try and pretend to be one. | He actualy is an engineer. Hes a CTO of SpaceX and he designs rockets. Being a salesman and investor comes second. |
4,531 | Interestingly Microsoft say they are not seeing a reduction in performance after patching Azure | Microsoft Azure support never admits anything until they have to. |
4,532 | I mean I agree this playlist sucks and Reddit can't curate its way out of a wet paper bag, but this is to be expected from a website that builds itself around an upvote system. People will upvote the songs they know and ignore anything that doesn't look familiar granted it isn't already buried in a few hours. If you're really cruising for music you've never heard before that is great then go get your hard hat and stArt digging through music forums and sites like RYM and Sputnik where lesser known music is more easily propped up through the community and your effort. Or you can always ask me for recs ;) | I hope one day to witness a competition or at least a personal challenge where someone must curate their way out of a wet paper bag. Perhaps I will finally know a night of peaceful slumber |
4,533 | Out of this whole thread **this** is what I do best. I have about $1100 in change in the back of my closet. I have emptied my pockets in there every night for years and years. | On rainy days, I sort and roll change from a similar jar. Then I stash it. My husband has no idea, but we have over two thousand dollars in change, squirreled away from eight years of him emptying his pockets. |
4,534 | After all the raving, I found the story really disappointing. The subject was interesting and there were some bits of intriguing insights, but the writing was bang-average. | And sometimes that’s okay honestly. It’s was very plain language and didn’t adhere to the modern literary style. But I do think that accessible style leads to lot of people who aren’t readers checking it out. |
4,535 | I'm not buying the comparison, there's no 1:1 conversion in price for desktop displays and panels for phones. It's not like there's a set price-per-pixel that's the same for a watch as it is for a Jumbotron. Doesn't Sony have a $700 4K phone, for instance? | well I figured, in the tech world, making things smaller makes them more expensive. my analogy may not have been accurate, but the point still stands that a 4k phone is useless without any good 4k footage. |
4,536 | The chapter in Infinite Jest where the character is waiting for the drug dealer to call and describing his process for quitting marijuana. Never read something written by someone else that so accurately described my own experiences before. | I remember that part. The sheer level of awareness that the character had of his surroundings while he waited was eerie to me. It more or less just reminded me of what it was like for me to be high. |
4,537 | If he doesn't attend by invitation nothing happens at all unless he travels to the UK. If he doesn't attend and 5 years from now he travels to the UK AND they decide to give him a summons the clock starts ticking on him to appear from the time he is served not from today. > if they find him in contempt of court. Is a UK court going to one day possibly issue a summons or would Parliament issue one? | > Is a UK court going to one day possibly issue a summons or would Parliament issue one? Dunno mate |
4,538 | Sixteen years now I think, correct me please Internet if I am wrong.. | They are supposed to release an album sometime this year, but they've been saying that for a while. It takes a long time to find an albums worth of quality samples and put them together, maybe not 15 years worth, but I'm throwing a bone |
4,539 | I'll most likely be seeing this in Baltimore Wednesday evening. Pumped. Edit: just saw the movie and I totally agree. I'm not sure I've been this satisfied by a new film since Shaun of the Dead. | Same here! I'm super excited and I hope I can get there early enough. |
4,540 | Never heart of it and its shit. Maybe its a hit in Eastern Europe or Russia. | this is song from central europe bro .. its slavic language for slovakian,czech and polish guys ;) and this is not shit bro.. 2000 000 views + in 9 days in 12mil country ... |
4,541 | There are classified projects that are later replicated by civilian bodies. It may very well be the DoD has working anti-boom technology. But we wouldn't know about it. And the DoD is not very good at sharing. | The DoD tends to be very pro-boom in most cases |
4,542 | This is great as long as your enemy only has foam or wood aircraft. Show it hitting a carbon fiber octocopter carrying 25 lbs of HE. If the operators are running away because they've realized they are the target, will it continue firing on the drone? Drones are cheaper than this LASER. It would be easy to overwhelm and simply follow the beam to it's source. Dumb weapon. | Gotta start somewhere. It definitely won't be long until even a swam of high end drones get swatted out of the air like they were nothing. |
4,543 | I didn't think it was some loony....I thought it was his mistress. | Yeah she was probably also a mistress or an ex. But if you're gonna be taping up people's wives in the closet and coming at your lover with a kitchen knife you're probably not mentally well. |
4,544 | I mean, he has just as much right to voice his dislike of something as you do for your like of something. Just let it be if it's not for you. | Didn't say he doesn't have a right to his opinion. The chain of people basically saying "DAE NOT LIKE?" to me doesn't add anything to the convo. It just looks like people seeking confirmation bias. |
4,545 | I use goodreads,Reddit and booktube though major recommendations on booktube are of YA. I also check various "book of the month " posts on Reddit ,I am currently reading 'The girl with all the gifts' which is the book for Reddit bookclub December month. | M. R. Carey will be doing an AMA here on December 28th at 5pm ET. [Here's a full list of our upcoming AMAs] *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/books) if you have any questions or concerns.* |
4,546 | What color would you propose they change the sands and the sky to then? | Clearly it should be rainy and they should be walking in mud. |
4,547 | Not only that, but they probably don't even need proper fully fledged computers; mostly just having dump terminals booting up to a web interface should be enough. Good luck with the licence fees though. | > dump terminals. For those employees who seem to spend a significant fraction of their work day in a bathroom stall. |
4,548 | Up to about book five, they are fantastic... then there's a long slog through about 3-4 of the books in the middle of the series that are really dull and slowly paced. However the last four books I really enjoyed and made the series worth it. You should have no problem getting started, the action in the first book starts pretty quickly! | Thanks for the heads up! I'm looking forward to reading them :) |
4,549 | Hindenburg is a myth. 62 of 72 survived. Hydrogen is lighter than air unlike hydrocarbons or metals. In the worst case you'll get a huge fireball that rises into the air and disappears, unlike gasoline or metal fire. | IIRC, everyone who stayed on to the ground survived. The only people who died jumped for it. |
4,550 | I agree and I liked a lot of the humor in this movie, but that joke was a tone killer. | I thought it humanized the stormtroopers. Whether you think that's a good idea or not is open to debate, but they went that way anyway with Finn. When they walked away I thought that was exactly how a real grunt would react to a higher-up taking a tantrum they didn't want to get involved in. |
4,551 | I wouldn't say "nothing" happens. It definitely gets slower and more tiresome to read, but there are still things happening, reading book 13 at the moment, I sort of feel like book 6-11 ish were all building up and preparing for the rest to really take of. Despite how slow it was, it was still necessary (although could probably have been achieved a little quicker). | It's happening over a timeframe that is about five times too long. It's all filler. It's satisfying at 11-13 because it's such a break from the monotony. I wouldn't mind it if the characters weren't so terrible honestly, the scale was epic and the best part. |
4,552 | Unfortunately this is not without its downside. While I certainly won't miss the bulky connector, digital connectors are far more complicated and prone to issues. For instance, I have yet to use an HDMI port from a computer to a TV that doesn't cut off the borders of the screen. Also, this pretty much means the end of any adapter that is DRM free. | You have to adjust the overscan from your video card settings |
4,553 | I like his music, but he seems like a douche here (though I sort of agree with him). I've never watched the grammies, but I could deduce that's what happens when someone plays. He could have said this before getting involved with the grammies, but he wanted attention. | If you think he's a douche you should see interviews with the guys from the mars volta. They have flat out said "We don't make music for anyone but ourselves. No offense to the fans we love that you love our music but, we couldn't care less if you buy our stuff. We do it for the process." That made me love them soooo much more. |
4,554 | Huh, that's actually a cool shot. The use of GoPros in The Hobbit though was stupid as it was VERY noticeable. | PJ's footage looked like it was actually filmed with a GoPro, while MB most likely mounted an actual camera. Interstellar had GoPro-ish shots like this as well |
4,555 | That's bordering on WAY too much talent...is there gonna be no Batman or something? | >is there gonna be no Batman. I'de still watch it. |
4,556 | ASOIAF ruins a lot of typical high-fantasy/science fiction for me when I've recently re-read it. (I finished re-read number three last summer) | Yeah, I slowly got used to Ender's Game, but it was just strange going for a while. |
4,557 | I don't think that r1's characters or plot developments will have any effect on ep8. The main movie saga has always been the tightly contained alpha-omega from which other stories can grow. | Have you watched this? Probably not true, but they make a good argument. |
4,558 | I was wondering the same thing. That, and how stories are collected for this machine. Update: >Writers are discovered through Short Edition’s expansive online community of 100,000 short stories by 9,000 authors. An even larger community of readers—some 200,000—vote on their favorite stories. “We always work with the community… to identify the best texts,” says Giraut. “Anybody can create an account on short-edition.com, take part in a writing competition that we organize, and publish his or her text.” Submitted stories are eligible for one of two prizes. What those "prizes" are I've yet to discover. | From a look at their site's contest page, [Short Edition] isn't saying what the prizes are for now. But considering that not everyone is a winner and they are definitely printing out more than those one or two stories that do win, I'm fairly certain that they're using the artist's favorite method of payment for the rest of the writer's they are exploiting. Gotta love exposure, it's good for the bones. |
4,559 | You should describe how you ended up downloading it, to help anyone who might be in a similar situation | I just used Rhomboid's link, downloaded it and converted it to an .swf format for the video and an .mp3 format for the audio and synced them up in Adobe Premiere. Rhomboid's the real hero here. |
4,560 | if you're even slightly religious the book comes off as very condescending and irritating. i've seen this in various friends even though i warn them about the kinda topics the books tackle | Yeah even as an atheist I found the anticlericalism a bit too on the nose at times. Still a fantastic series if that doesn't bother you. |
4,561 | That's alright, we all thought you were channeling Borat in the title. Also: This is probably better suited for /r/bookhaul. Our first rule here is posts must be discussion-focused and this one really isn't. | >This is probably better suited for /r/bookhaul . Our first rule here is posts must be discussion-focused and this one really isn't. You're right. My bad. Advice taken and noted. |
4,562 | Not everything needs to be a movie. In fact, given some of the worse adaptations we've had, I'd say far less than what we've gotten needs to be a movie. | No, everything doesn't need to be a movie. Some stories don't need a screen adaptation, they deserve one. That's what this is about. Not needy, but deserving. |
4,563 | A novelist whose story had a deeper meaning you mean? Well that would be the first I'd ever heard of that. | Well obviously there are deeper meanings in every story but I would find it crazy and awesome if that's what she was actually going for. |
4,564 | Uh, what about the NSA, do they not share any blame in this? | I'm happy people are starting to see the wool that has been pulled over their eyes |
4,565 | A lot more people like it more than you may think, dude. I honestly think grunge/punk can make a comeback..... just need the right bands. | I'm in a punk/post-hardcore band so hearing you say that gives me tons of hope. |
4,566 | What if I don't want to pay for that much service? they're basically making me pay for way more than I need. (Devils advocate response) | > What if I don't want to pay for that much service? they're basically making me pay for way more than I need. You'd be paying more for copper too as the cost of maintaining the aging systems increase. |
4,567 | What is the name of that series? Or do you have a link showing the series? I can not find it. | It is called Thanos and leads directly into the Annihilation event. |
4,568 | I never understood this argument. If we justify the cost of a service because the studio is paying $N they will continue to pay that (or more) in the future because one of the rules of capitalism is that you charge what the market will bear. It doesn't matter how much it costs to make for the consumer. All that matters for the consumer is how much it's sold for and what the quality level is. | I guess you first assumption is the problem. "Capitalism isn't flawed." Second. I don't want watered down garbage like everything else in this country. Watering down, shrinking container sizes. Embarrassing how we don't value quality anymore. Made in America used to be a good thing. |
4,569 | i showed this movie to some friends they literally WTF me afterwards, i was like i know AWESOME right? they were like no man...then i was like we should go there...and they were like dude its its a movie...and thats when i revealed to them the truth....that the town is in fact real its Xenia Ohio... they backed out of the room slowly...i dont know why | The film takes place in Xenia, but it wasn't shot there. It was shot in Korine's native Nashville, Tennessee. It's important to remember that *Gummo* is by no means a documentary film. While there is a lot of truth underlying the images that Korine presents, they're definitely exaggerated for dramatic effect. Yes, southwestern Ohio is quite poor, and there are definitely some "colourful characters" who live there, but it's considerably more "normal" in real life than it is in *Gummo*. Source: I was born and raised in the area. |
4,570 | I'm so glad this is getting upvotes, these guys are my favorite band in the world. I have seen them twice in Toledo, Ohio, one Carnavas and one Swoon tour, and once when they opened for Muse. I don't have any cool stories about them like a lot of the people here, but I did get to shake Brians hand and I still have a pick of his. This song is a great build up and really shows Brian's voice, but my favorite SSPU song is ...All The Go-Inbetweens off their EP Pikul. On a rainy day just turn it on and look out the windo for a while, it's amazing. Oh and also I hear they're all really good guys (besides Nikki of course!) | I love the Pikul EP. Its just transpires feeling all over the place. Its fantastic. |
4,571 | Oh god I really hope this happens in the avengers 3 | I can't wait to see the results of the Hulk trying to overpower Thanos, or Thor or Iron Man for that matter. |
4,572 | Yes Lionsgate is being incredibly cunty. Doxxing and bribery so far - the shills will show up soon | Are you all genuinely just blindly accepting that user as a Lionsgate representative? |
4,573 | Do you think you will continue to write YA fantasy or move on to another genre? Also, please come to Southern LA! Huge fan thanks for giving us a piece of your brain. | More YA fantasy planned, alongside some other projects as well. Stay tuned... |
4,574 | This really stood out for me: >Rincewind is always looking for something “better than magic”. Pratchett found something better than literature. | >Pratchett found something better than literature. Reminds me of my favourite lines from Soul Music: "Susan hated Literature. She'd much prefer to read a good book." |
4,575 | Exactly. Don't let haters tell you what to think. | I'm just a bit more surprised that there's a scene like that in the game and it wasn't protested about, this was 15 years ago. |
4,576 | Did you buy these on Mondotees when they were in print or did you have them re-printed from a high-quality source? If the latter is the case, would you like to provide the source for us so we can do the same? | I upvoted this comment, but now I'm commenting on it so people may take it more seriously and find a source. |
4,577 | I understand that. However, this is simply a beginning. If it works, there will be better efforts. | It won't work if they don't make better efforts. If they don't believe in it enough to give it a real launch why would anyone else? |
4,578 | You can be an asshole with redeeming qualities. Assholes can have layers. | But they are still assholes. Trash coated in a speck of gold is still trash |
4,579 | The man constantly takes realism in his movies to the next level. I couldn't believe how little green screen he used in Interstellar until I watched the behind the scenes footage. Same with Inception. | I hope this trend continues. Cgi is so obviously fake it takes away the illusion for me completely. |
4,580 | They also had this type of ammo in Runaway. | Don't forget the [Dumb Dumbs] from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"... |
4,581 | Wow.. there is a swastika character? I find that disturbing... | It was a Buddhist symbol long before the Nazis. I believe that's why it's a character. |
4,582 | I guess it depends on how much storage the phone offers without the extra card slot. Memory is cheap these days and with 200gb micro sd cards coming out a phone with 128gb standard isn't out of the question. I rarely use the full 32 + 32 gb I have. I like the removable and expandable storage but if the phone had at least 64 gb onboard I don't think it would really matter anymore. | The problem isn't the amount of space they offer, it's the ridiculous cost markup they have on the upgrade. I'm guessing it will probably be 200 bucks more for the 128GB version vs 32GB. I'd really give them the benefit of the doubt if they were reasonable and innovative about it. Why not give us the S6 with the thickness of an S5, the battery could be much bigger because it's non removable. Then offer the upgraded versions for 50 and 100 dollars more. That's how you spin this thing into a positive, not these bullshit reasons Samsung is giving. |
4,583 | Thank you! I almost never encounter anyone familiar with The Long Walk short story. I read it when I was 13 and it messed me up for awhile. | King was 19 when he wrote, the bastard. That's one of his stories I'll rwad every five years of so...always leaves me physically exhausted after I've finished it. |
4,584 | That's a contradiction, if you were a Satanist and it was about common sense then you wouldn't tell other people you were a Satanist in order to avoid the unnecessary social repercussions that come with it. | I don't generally tell people, unless we're having a discussion about religion, or it doesn't matter what they think of me. |
4,585 | There's got to be a point where it'll be too thin right? When does it start making it hard / uncomfortable to hold. | Some phones, like the Galaxy S4, have already hit that point. |
4,586 | I've talked to Japanese women who go to hostess clubs with their male coworkers and they don't make a fuss about it. As long as the woman in question wasn't peer-pressured into participating in something that made her uncomfortable, I don't see the problem. | So because a group of people in a totally different context don't have a problem then no one should |
4,587 | Maybe.......if you dare put Babe Ruth and David Exkstien in the same sentence I’d feel the same. Or maybe Michael Jordan and Swaggy P. | Music is subjective + this shouldn’t be about his Music it’s about his fucking murder |
4,588 | As a fan of SG1, Atlantis and Universe who never saw the original movie - the gate network wasn't part of it? | why would you not watch the original movie after watching 100+ episodes of a series? |
4,589 | James Baldwin, essayist, novelist, poet. I particularly like his novel "Another Country" and the collection of poems "Jimmy's Blues". He can be quite challenging, both in content and style but I think he's one of the greats. | I recently read The Fire Next Time and loved it. I will have to check out Another Country. Didn't realise he wrote poetry, which is exciting! |
4,590 | > This is why Microsoft took so long to port Office to Mac....there wasn't much money in it. Uh, what? Office *started out* on the Mac. | I love how you're being downvoted even though [Word 1.0 came out in 1984 for the original Macintosh] The entire notion of "Windows" didn't even exist yet. |
4,591 | I felt this with every peak we got. Finally figured it out today. Every single thing in the movie is perfect. No dirt on clothes, no creases, orcs are immaculately clean, as are the people. Every piece of armor is gleaming and with not a nick. Absolutely idiotic to look over something like that. Literally everything looks like it is brand new to the day, including the cities and landscape. | As others have mentioned, this may not be the final version of the scenes shown. It wouldn't surprise me if there's a lot more grit and dirt and wear seen in the final movie. |
4,592 | "My Book, 1984" is all I saw. Perhaps now some English courses. | i was writing my first book 1984 as in the first book i read but somehow that got messed up :/ |
4,593 | Get Forest app on your phone. It'll stop you from using your phone. I use it for studying but I'm sure it can be used to read as well. | oh I've used that one nut not recently. I'll add this too. |
4,594 | The fourth one, Tehanu, is probably my favorite. I can see why many people don't like it, though. It's bleak, mundane. There's no a great adventure, no powerful spells or shining swords. It's a story about weak and ordinary people, about an old woman, a burned child, and a hero who has lost his powers. EDIT: spelling | Yes, I think this is all that is great about that book, and probably also why some dislike it. But to me that's to shut out a very real and emotional experience |
4,595 | Wait, are you saying that media creation/consumption was better a few years ago than it is now? | By percentage, I think there was better media to be consumed. I might even argue that the absolute amount of quality media to be consumed has declined as well. It is easier to get at even though it costs money. The free stuff is marginal. |
4,596 | You think card manufacturers weren't following the supply and demand curve too and raising prices? They would be sued by their shareholders for gross negligence. | Retailers wouldn't buy cards that were overpriced because then they'd be left with piles of $1000 cards when the demand drops. |
4,597 | I realize this is a shot in the dark, but I am new to SAN, and attempting to configure SAN for our new technology refresh. We have a Dell MD3600F connected to two hosts. What I am attempting (and with my googlefu I am finding out that it might not be possible) is to have the SAN setup in a way that all the virtual machines on the two hosts can share the storage on the SAN. In a perfect world, we would like a VM on host 1 to be able to access a shared database inside the SAN, that a VM on host 2 normally uses. Is this possible? Any help is appreciated. | Holy lack of details, batman! How are the machines connected to the SAN (not really relevant, but still...)? What VM software are you using? What database are you using? What OS are you using inside the VM? Given your post, I'd seriously suggest finding a contractor in the area to set this up for you. The above are the bare minimums of information needed to answer this question. Since you didn't know to include them, I'm going to assume you're in over your head. |
4,598 | The Count of Monte Cristo - Alexandre Dumas. Its not necessarily life changing, but its a must read! And watching the movies do not count! | So true, read this in high school and wanted to hate it like most forced reading assignments but it was just too good. |
4,599 | I'm halfway through it right now and loving it. It's a long way from my normal fare but it's incredible. So many touching and vivd moments. | I remember reading it in high school and sort of nibbling at it to keep up with the assignments until near the end, when a passage caught me so by surprise I went back and reread the entire thing in a weekend. |
