5,800	I am very pleased someone dropped the Asimov recommendation. It seems like it should be a given in life that everyone read at least one I.A. work of art.	Just read youth. Reminded me of a twilight zone episode. Though I didn't bother to check which came first. Edit: punctuation
5,801	People don't buy the Model 3 to go on road trips.	That's fair, but it's a general comment on the limitations these vehicles still need to overcome before they can supplant gas.
5,802	For somebody who's terrified of AI, why? I really think connecting our brains to computers is stupid, with cybersecurity being what it is. I'm really interested in what nano-machines have to offer the human body.	>For somebody who's terrified of AI, why? To better position ourselves in the long run to compete with it, I would think.
5,803	Of course it isn't perfect, but it was in many people's (mine included) opinion, it was the best Bond movie since Goldeneye. Also people hyperbolize. "Perfect" doesn't mean "perfect" anymore. It means "I like this a lot but I can't articulate that properly."	In my opinion, Daniel Craig is as good as Sean Connery. I've watched all of the Bond movies (and lately have been rewatching them) and the first few with Connery and the ones with Craig are my favourites. The plot was a little weird in Skyfall, but if this new Bond movie retains the style of Skyfall, it'll be another hit. It'll be hard to replace Craig once he leaves. He's more serious than Connery but has the same charm that works so well.
5,804	It would be more effective to send crew composed only of women because of plan B. Recently I saw Interstellar and I began wondering why crew had 4 men and only one woman. If they wanted to use plan B, in which women are used as surrogate mothers in colony set up on new planet, it would be more more effective to send more than only one woman to ensure faster growth of the colony. It would be safer too. By creating crew made only of women they would maximize the chance of survival of people on new planet. Colonists could then use male eggs to give birth to first men in colony. I don't believe that NASA wouldn't consider this.	I think the eggs were fertilized. They just needed to be incubated. So the gender of the astronauts was irrelevant?
5,805	It's something we're trying to rectify as soon as we can! I was in Texas for Fourth of July and I love it there! -Sam	Does the lyric "born in the south at home in the north" carry a meaning to any of you?
5,806	that was a tweet and other celebrities have done that without being shamed. But Kanye does it and "oh damn what a dick" I dont see people bitching at Whoopi Goldberg because she said it too.	I don't need more comments telling me it's a tweet. Yes, I called Kanye a dick, and bitched about him. You're absolutely right.
5,807	Censorship is when it is perpetrated by a State, literally by definition this is NOT censorship unless you're one of those low information voters that still thinks Donnie Two Tangerines is totes innocent NO COLLUSION COLLUSION IS NOT A CRIME BUT INVESTIGATE HILLARY AND OBAMA FOR COLLUSION WHICH IS TOTALLY NOT A CRIME!!!1!	> Censorship is when it is perpetrated by a State, Holy shit! That is not true. Censorship is preventing people from voicing their opinion through repression. No necessity there for it being done by a government.
5,808	The economy here in the US is driven by war. Prior to invading Iraq I read that most of the military's ammunition's shelf life was soon to expire. It was not the reason we went into Iraq, but using up our supplies of bullets missiles etc was a factor.	I don't get why that would be a factor. Nobody saves money by shipping thousands of people over seas to shoot stuff before it goes bad. Am I missing something?
5,809	Hear me out. If there are ways to use more than one of pretty much every component in a computer, shouldn’t be a way to use two different motherboards?	Nope. Nothing in the desktop will be compatible with the laptop -- everything will be physically larger (more or less). Sounds like you should get a new replacement drive for the laptop and reinstall the os afresh -- speed issues sound like a failing drive. You can set up remote administration on the desktop to make use of it as a surrogate, use remote desktop or teamviewer or something -- but you'll need to have a decent internet connection both sides, and setting up a VPN or ssh tunnel into your network and not exposing the machine to the internet is *highly* recommended.
5,810	While Nolan was great I prefer Burton's Batman films and I think it largely comes down to the aesthetics. The environment seems dripping with gothic atmosphere and menace and greatly influenced comic based films coming after it like The Shadow and Dick Tracy.	I think they both present two very different versions of Batman/Joker. I know a lot of people love the Nolan films, but I grew up with Burton's Batman, and think that they are (for what they are) just as solid as Nolan's. It also terrifies me that there might be some people who've seen The Dark Knight trilogy but never gone back to this classic.
5,811	Where is the credit card slot? Hardly any entertainment on an airplane is free. And what is free is hardly worth watching. I was on an airplane for 5 hours with one of those seat back touch screens. It didn't work. The touch screen wouldn't register input.	All that stuff you pay for on domestic flights is usually free on international ones. Even food and booze.
5,812	Why don't tech workers have an international or even domestic unionist yet? Tech workers can automate nearly all the the issues with older unions such as finances and voting as well as eliminate corruption.	Because most engineers are paid well enough they don't see the point. Especially when they are still young and anti social so they don't see the problem with working non stop.
5,813	Worse than the acts of [the Indian guy from The 40-Year-Old Virgin]	Is that worse than the guy from those Naked Gun movies that killed that lady and dude?
5,814	Does that mean you can't return it? Thats lame. They seem to refresh the S series around this time each year, for when your contract expires.	No it doesn't. I'd guess that the UK has much better return laws than the US too.
5,815	If the "other burger" is pretty damn famous for being meaty, I fail to see why that wouldn't be acceptable. Or if, say, in a song, someone says that person X is as beautiful as person Y. That kind of situation can happen.	Except that Kilimanjaro is like, twice Olympus' height. So your argument is that it's not a metaphorical comparison, but it's also shitty as a straight up normal one, too.
5,816	Radiohead are generous masters. LP9 and the goods keep coming. But True Love Waits on an album is still hard to fathom. I remember hearing them use it as a lead-in to Everything in its Right Place at Bonnaroo 2012 and thinking that was the closest I'd ever get.	I love the song and the current version, but it somehow doesn't feel right slapped on the end of this album
5,817	Someone tried to defend him on Twitter last night. Scott Weinberg I think. Started coming under attack from the SJWs.	They can go fuck themselves. Gibson is back! It's about damn time.
5,818	Rap heads in general aren't really concerned with subgenres and divisions occur more based on location and time than musical characteristics.	This is a much better way to classify hip hop.
5,819	Gotta be honest, though I disagree with that statement, if it were true, I'd be okay with that.	People bitching about a bigger deathstar is a bit ridiculous. It wasn't a bad idea to begin with, just poorly implemented. They did it bigger and better and an actual physical cover to go with the energy shields.
5,820	The religious criticism as sub-text is completely unnecessary. I haven't read it but I know there is discussion of it in the book.	Why is it when anyone, even Stephen Hawking, discusses matters which were in the past only discussed in a religious context it is automatically criticism? He doesn't criticize religion. He compares religious ideas to scientific ideas. He's talking about the universe, it's origins and it's ultimate fate. Idea's which were up until recently only ever talked about in a religious context. Don't knock it if you haven't read it.
5,821	He is absolutely going to smash the shit out of Thanos with Mjolnir. Whether or not it'll do anything is another thing. Besides, we all know Squirrel Girl is going to come out of nowhere and save the day.	That would honestly make my decade. I figure Marvel will get to her around Phase 8, along with the GLA, Gwenpool, and the Awesome Slapstick.
5,822	Iron Man 3 isnt even out yet but they have the AUDACITY to say it is one of my favorite movies!? Blasphemy!	Let me know where on the list it falls after you see it May 3rd. If it's anything like the first 2 I have no doubt it should fall in this collection : )
5,823	So Germany is going through the WMG days. Dark days for German youtube, Dark days	Hm, I think we had those here, too. We get all the DMCA take downs and other american copyright stuff plus our own stupid censorship.
5,824	Coraline by Neil Gaiman. I had shivers down my spine.	Good book, to be sure, but it is designed to be a horror book. I saw Gaiman speak recently and he said that he wrote Coraline because when his daughter was young he went to the library and discovered that there weren't many horror books written for children.
5,825	There's a new battery coming soon article every month. Unless its a cell manufacturer annoucing a new product themselves, its all fud. Stuff that works in a laboratory may never be mass productionable.	I agree but some better tech will pan out eventually!
5,826	That's odd. I didn't read Things Fall Apart until my freshman year in college, in the advanced English class. We did Heart of Darkness in high school. Can't remember which year. Probably senior.	Checking in here as someone else who did the reverse - Things Fall Apart was a required reading for I think 9th or 10th grade Honors English, Heart of Darkness was an AP Lit book.
5,827	> The BBC poll was based on a survey of 1,000 adults, each asked which book “every child should read” That's a pretty small sample size. Small enough that it seems possible they are a bit out of touch with modern children. Nothing says fun holiday reading like The Bible	'A survey of 1,000 elderly members of the church of England from northern Oxfordshire'.
5,828	As a non-expert, let me tell you. Experts will probably try to dismiss them with "Oh, they're worth nothing. 100 bucks for all, save some space on the shelf and go have a nice dinner with your wife" - of course you should not believe them	Don't know why downvoted. I know it is kinda sad, but I don't trust an advice from a person that will profit on my decision
5,829	Well the Technical Preview literally records every keystroke and sends it to Microsoft. All their previews always have done that, read the agreement on it if you don't believe me, it doesn't say they can it says they do. I don't understand why anybody would use the Technical Preview as a day to day OS. You've given Microsoft a copy of all your user names and passwords in plain text.	A keystroke is encoded as a single byte, video and audio are 4-5 orders of magnitude above that PER SECOND. Good luck sending them without completely clogging up the up band of most connections 24/24, let alone sending them unnoticed. Microsoft is NOT going to take your users and passwords and sell them because it would be idiotic, too little money for too much risk. The NSA and co don't rely on them to get the data, too much of a liability.
5,830	One of the greatest animated films in the history of the genre. I do wonder if it would have worked if it had been live-action.	I don't think so. Would've been a completely different film experience and a lot to think about concerning use of practical/computer generated effects. The way it was executed with the 2D animation was perfect for the story.
5,831	Can confirm. Diagnosed just over a week ago. Getting in and out of bed sucks big time. Rolling over in bed is sickening. I'm ok standing and sitting, but laying down or reclining is the worse.	Interesting. That sucks and I'm sorry you have to suffer with this. Does alcohol hurt or help the condition?
5,832	Is a white male. (They didn't read Obam's yet)	That shouldn't be surprising though. We all already knew that.
5,833	Man on Wire is goddamn brilliant. Jesus Camp and King of Kong are up there as well.	Couldn't possibly agree more. All three are fascinating. I would also add Grizzly Man to that list.
5,834	Trolls seems so innocuous. Can we elevate them to online sadists?	They aren't trolls though, just fucking assholes. Trolling used to be funny, especially when people took the bait but all this sort of stuff is just online harassment of the worst kind. No trolling involved.
5,835	Nelly was huge, he sold a ton of records, like 21 million. his recent stuff just sucks a bucket of baby dicks.	I remember Country Grammar but I didn't think it did that well
5,836	That is an overlooked scene IMO. It shows the dark, dystopian split timeline of watchmen.	Kent State, however, did happen in real life. I thought it was a mix of her and kent state into one scene.
5,837	USB-A is a legacy port at this point. Dongles are a temporary inconvenience.	It should be, and it will be eventually. But it's not yet.
5,838	I would think there would be enough "prior art" to void this patent, if some had the $$ to pay a lawyer. After all we were using PWM in our Class D solid state AM transmitters 20 years ago (look up Nautel).	The patent isn't on pwm itself it's the application of it
5,839	As long as he's tall enough to shove a tree down Godzillas throat again	He's gonna need a bigger tree this time around.
5,840	I love my I phone's notch... don't knock the notch	Why tf would you love a big ugly black thing cutting into your screen? You'd prefer that, throwing off screen size and messing up scaling, over a true full-screen phone?
5,841	Papillon! But it was on sale so I bought it anyway. Ended up being a great book. Then I watched the movie with Steve McQueen which I enjoyed as well	This is the greatest book I have ever read. Real prison life from 1930's from someone who is not innocent, love it so much. It makes Shawshank Redemption look like a day at the park. I have not watched the movie, I am worried it will cheapen the books story. Worth it?
5,842	> "I don't see speculation about the possibility of my death as any sort of compliment," Martin wrote. "My own hope is to live another thirty years and write thirty more books." Fuck outta here.	Yeah, sure. Maybe if his next book is titled "Thirty More Books". GRRM must be trippin'.
5,843	How about you work on the mass incarceration problem in America for non violent offenders. Or the decriminalization of certain drugs to promote rehabilitation instead of incarceration. But thats ok, I am sure meeting Pusha T will help...	She's _also_ doing those things, it's just that people don't care because it doesn't fit their narrative.
5,844	Sorry it's not a full playlist but check out the song On & On & On by Catch 22 I think it's exactly what you are looking for.	Catch 22 has a lot of stuff I think would work. If you end up liking them Streetlight Manifesto is very similar. Also On & On & On is on the album Keasbey Nights, you'll find streetlight has put out that same album. Not saying one is better than the other but if you like the one you may like the other and that in reverse. Both groups put out very good music in my opinion.
5,845	In terms of instrumental solos this is second only to Hotel California's guitar solo in my opinion.	For some reason, I think stairway's guitar solo is one of the best.
5,846	Somehow Goosebumps passed me by at the time, although I remember my sister being heavily into Point Horror books. I vaguely remember I considered them somehow ‘girly’ at the time, which is a pretty ridiculous way of thinking all-round, but I was 9.	Point Horror was passed around at school in the 1990s, but I definitely missed Goosebumps. Everyone else was also into Sweet Valley High, which was even scarier..
5,847	Why does that CG look faker than the first JP movie?	How does it? I dislike what they're doing with the color but the cg is obviously much better.
5,848	Well like he said it's frustrating since the movie hasn't been out for that long and people are shitting on it like it's the worst thing. It's completely ridiculous and he seems to have taken it personally which I can sympathize with since I likely would too.	I mean, let's be frank - that movie's plot was a mess. After they arrive on the alien planet to hunt Cumberbatch it stops being coherent or even quality story telling. Visually, it's mostly good (there's a legitimate complaint about lens flares when they overpower a scene visually). It honestly comes off as if he's unable to accept criticism or acknowledge that there *were* problems with the film from a story telling stand point. Not like he should be surprised anyway, as the quality of the films tend to alternate - but for a film that had 2 years to nail down a fantastic script, it was pretty inexcusable.
5,849	That is one of my favorite lyrical phrases of all time. It just pumps you up so much and makes you want to break shit!	I played so many PlayStation shooter games listening to Rage on repeat. Was soooo good.
5,850	Shit, you're right it does happen often, I just never noticed it with most of them... Looking back, I don't think I've ever seen The Lord of the Rings written on here.	Also very common with band names, the "The" is mostly optional.
5,851	How exactly is a rainbow made? How exactly does a sun set? How exactly does a posi-trac rear-end on a Plymouth work? It just works. Edit: No Joe Dirt fans, I guess.	So does XP, doesn't make it any less obsolete and dated.
5,852	I can appreciate the effort and can understand the reaction in the comments. I have (for several years now) been working on a fiction and non-fiction content generator that writes comprehensible stories and articles. So I know how and why attempts like these fall short of being as amazing as they could be. There's just so much to this technology, and it's unfortunate that it's not being approached as serious as it should be. If anyone's interested, my software is First Draft. Like I said, I've been working on it for years, but from the looks of the their results, it appears as if their story was built on a whim.	Exactly. It also seemed to me that it gave a rather heavy weight to the phrase "I don't know" and similar derivations. Which sort of make me think it was really just a ai that sorted through the listed movies and ordered phrases by how many times they were said. Then it pseudo - randomly (weighted by their input prompt) picked from those phrases and then outputted them into the final format.
5,853	Watchmen. The villain had ridiculously stupid logic and all of the heroes just went along with it immediately except for Rorschach.	Yeah, Rorschach was my favorite for that reason. He was pretty bad ass.
5,854	While it is easy to slam RS, they do make two valid points: 1. MP3 sharing does not hurt sales and 2. MP3 sharing isn't going away for a long time	The second point is certainly true. The first point is going to need to be backed up by more than your agreement to make it valid.
5,855	The Swedish ones. I read the books a a few years back and watched the Swedish films shortly after. I was actually upset when they announced they were going to be making an American version. I went into the theater expecting to hate it; I only ended up going because of the Immigrant Song cover in the opening credits. I didn't realize how much the Swedish films missed in terms of tone and the sort of mantra of the novels until I saw the American version. In my opinion, the Swedish film was more commercial than the American, it followed the plot and all but didn't strive to translate the thesis of the novels to its format, which I think is something Fincher did achieve.	That's what I loved so much about the American one. I too, saw the Swedish ones before and didn't feel that they were pushing nearly as much on the themes of violence against women, corruption, etc. that the author originally pushed for.
5,856	How much is it because of artificially low subsidized costs from China that are flooding the market? And besides solar has seen a recent boom because of almost divine breakthroughs, not because of continuted development. People are doubting it will happen again at this magnitude.	These may actually be unsubsidized prices, but these are also avoided costs in areas with unusually sunny weather. If it were the primary energy source you'd need an energy storage system that would massively drive up the costs. That issue compounds for places that aren't a desert.
5,857	Can someone enlighten me on what the 'gravity problem' was that Snr Brand was working on, and why that needed to be solved for humans to be able to leave earth?	The NASA base from the beginning was a space station that would act as an "Ark" of sorts for humanity if they're able to get it off the ground (Plan A) - The problem being that it's too large and only figuring out how to manipulate gravity will launch something of that size. Once Cooper relayed the formula they were able to get "Cooper's Station" off the ground and wormhole bound.
5,858	The carriers should not be paying the premium number resellers if the numbers are being used for fraud. Simple as that. But by forcing the victims to pay up, the carriers can also take their cut. Disgraceful.	Yeah. I don't understand why the carriers are making payments to the resellers.
5,859	In the first book a young maiden is taken doggy style repeatedly by a barbarian. Throughout the series whores are also visited regularly, and seed is spilt on stomachs fairly often.	Damn I thought it is gonna be like the Lord of the Rings. But i guess not
5,860	I'm not though. Sorry your to expose your fantasy world as made up.	Whatever man, there isn't an unlimited plan from Sprint that doesn't throttle. Facts are facts and that's the fact.
5,861	It's not visual art, but it is art. Is music art? Same principle.	That's what I said, my professor in FNAR disagrees
5,862	I LOVE PUSSY, I LOVE BITCHES. DUDE, I SHOULD BE RUNNIN PETA	IN ADIDAS WITH SOME SHORT SHORTS, B.O.O ALL OVER ME
5,863	Reddit will be in the same boat soon enough if they don’t start cleaning house.	No shit. If I get called an NPC by one more Russian troll account I’m going to lose my shit.
5,864	Except now you can't video chat with family/friends from across the ocean. Not an issue for everyone, admittedly, but there are things you lose doing this. Then again, many/most just use their phones now, huh?	And, you know, it can be removed for a call...
5,865	I can't stand him, but that doesn't mean I don't respect what the man has done musically, and no one, absolutely no one deserves to suffer when it comes to mental illness. There is so much help out there for people if they just can muster the strength to ask. It took nearly dying for me to get there, and I genuinely hope he can get the help he needs.	Nice to see man. I'm sure you'd enjoy a lot of his music if you gave him a chance and he's actually not a bad guy he just has done some dumb shit that the media has villainized him for
5,866	You can't get full 1080p on Chrome though. Only the app or Edge browser. Not sure about Firefox.	Oh, did not know that. And nope, the app still sets the audio track to 5.1.
5,867	I pretty much only read true crime. I think Iwan Rheon (Ramsey Snow/Bolton from Game of Thrones) would make a great Ted Bundy and Tim Roth would be a great Ed Gein (obviously only if they can do American accents)	Thanks to me always confusing their names, now I really want to see Iwan Rheon play Al Bundy.
5,868	I kind of hope they're unable to keep up with Moore's law at some point, so that I can stop hearing about Moore's Law.	Maybe one day I will never see a TIL about it ever again.
5,869	No, it merely means there is some precedent. Milton might not have been citing reliable doctrine, but he wasn't plucking words out of thin air either.	Hey, you may never know. Author's take plenty of creative liberty to their work. Milton may not be any different.
5,870	A Bluetooth earpiece works for you. A smart watch works for me. Just a phone works for most. Some smart glasses will work for others in the future, perhaps. This isn't a one device to rule them all kind of thing.	Not an earpiece, either Bluetooth headphones or earbuds. Two ears and audio quality are important, also not looking like a tool is important.
5,871	it's useful when you're lazy, or driving. but they could use more connectivity. For example, it'd be nice if I could go "Alexa, kill the lights" when I don't want to walk across the room or some dumb thing like that.	They can do that, the catch is you have to buy special lights that can sync with your brand of assistant. I think there will be quite a few more options in the next few years that aren't 20 bucks a bulb.
5,872	Absolutely. All this anti-piracy business show nothing more than a failure of the movie (and music, games, etc) industry to adapt to the internet, and more importantly an unwillingness to adapt.	I think steam and itunes are pretty good adaptations for the gaming and music industries.... it's just the movie industry that is lagging behind.
5,873	Which is your favourite? I've always thought Fragile is their masterpiece, followed by Relayer.	Tough question. I'd probably go with Close to the Edge, the title track and And You and I are incredible. I do think Siberian Khatru is a little weaker though but it's definitely not bad by any means
5,874	Johnny Mnemonic. It's admittedly are pretty stupid movie, and Keanu's acting is at a career low, but there's so much to love about it too. William Gibson wrote the script, it has a fantastic supporting cast- Dolf Lundgren, Henry Rollins, Beat Takashi, Udo Kier, um, Ice-T. It's my 90's "cyber movie" guilty pleasure.	Sweet Cyberpunky film. To the haters! -clinks his glass with yours-
5,875	This link isn't going to get even 1% of the clicks that the click-baity headlines of "Two Self-Driving Cars Almost Get in an Accident" get.	I still prefer The Register's "Robot Road Rage" headline to all the other click bait ones. If you are going to do a ridiculous headline that has no bearing on reality, put some effort into it.
5,876	Who thinks Tarantino looks Like Jaws from James Bond. Every time I see him he looks more and more like him. Can someone PS some steel teeth on him?	Aww, now I'm sad again because Richard Kiel is dead.
5,877	Townshend did not have his cards stolen. He admitted logging into the site and viewing the images. He then accepted the police caution which he didn't have to. I dare say that if he wasn't a celebrity then he would not have had that option.	It really is a shame that you're being down-voted for this.
5,878	So let's say I wanted to put all my games, game modding tools, and distribution services into one category. It'd be pretty hard for the UI designer to do that. The point is that you can create custom categories and organize how YOU want it.	Sure! But is the Start _Screen_ the best place for it? And not the Start _Menu_? Stacks are terrific, no doubt, I just take exception with the whole screen flip.
5,879	I honestly don't think drones will work here in the US. Too many guns and too many ya-hoos wanting a "fun" target. It would be a nightmare.	Middle-class urban areas tend to not have a lot of guns and tend to be much more tolerant of technology.
5,880	I believe this is a copy/paste of the top comment from another battery article. But it was a completely different article, and the comment still applies.	It's not a copy/paste but I wouldn't be surprised if the sentiment was more or less the exact same.
5,881	SS comes to mind here, pg. 149: >You haven't got a letter on yours," George observed. "I suppose she thinks you don't forget your name. But we're not stupid - we know we're called Gred and Forge.	I still call them Gred and Forge all the time, it tickles me.
5,882	You can use the phone app to phone your friends instead?	The phone app? Do you mean just a normal phone call? Many people do not always have call credit, especially when traveling. Data only sims are extremely common and very cheap. I don't call people via it often, but people call me on it frequently.
5,883	I wish I could see them live. Especially when Noel G is supporting them.	Saw them live on the I&E tour twice. Probably my second and third best shows I've seen. The only artist who beat them was Springsteen when I saw him from the floor. I'd definitely say if you have the chance you should go.
5,884	I mean he's a loyal bro to Caesar, how much development do you really need?	If I remember correctly, he was also Caesar's first actual ape friend.
5,885	I bet most of these are already online in some form. There are some very comprehensive digital occult libraries.	[Internet Sacred Text Archive] is one of the oldest and most comprehensive digital repositories.
5,886	I actually liked Godfather the novel, but to say it's as good as the movie is a joke. The movie is a cinematic masterpiece, the book is just alright.	I thought the novel was fantastic. I had never seen the movie when I read the book and I really, really enjoyed it. My favorite section is handled a little too fast in the film for my taste. Both are great.
5,887	Would you tell Picasso to sell one of his guitars?	If I knew Picasso, I would buy myself a grey guitar and play Mr. Jones & me.
5,888	English IS my native language and that's exactly how that reads. It's poorly worded title. I wouldn't call it click-bait though.	Eh, there's a jargon explanation: > Dude who [solved problem] now working on [second problem] Ambiguity doesn't really come into it unless you disregard "tackling" as accepting a challenge. Could be worded better, but it's not bad, per se.
5,889	As a gamer your mouse battery would of already died and been sent to battery heaven. Replace near daily use with near hourly use for me. Having a wireless mouse and keyboard was the most frustrating thing for me.	Going on almost a year now with my current Logitech wireless gaming mouse, still the same batteries it came with. You either had a really bad mouse or were experiencing issues that were unrelated to the batteries.
5,890	The enormity of these two minds coming together for a meal should have shattered every glass in the city. To hear someone say "I remember this one dinner with Pablo Picasso" is other worldly, but to have that person be the most influential man in modern music just blows my mind.	The fact he can call him so personally as "Pablo" is extraordinary.
5,891	As someone with depression I often feel traumatised by sad events in classic literature. I feel like I can’t stand it, or my heart is breaking. I let myself cry, because it turns out that crying brings humans back to an emotional calmness. Even if you are ‘too’ happy, or too angry, your body might want to cry. Let yourself cry and afterwards you feel better.	I am emotional too and often tear up at movies. I can relate to your thoughts on crying. Have a great day.
5,892	I'm curious, what books have you seen where this has and has not worked?	In my experience I thought present tense didn't work for Fifty Shades. It was hard to read already due to poor writing, but the present tense was just icing on the cake.
5,893	Which path would lead me to Raising Steam? I like trains and technological development.	The good Sir Terry wrote that one while suffering from dementia, unable to use a keyboard or typewriter, completely dictated by voice recognition software. It is his final book and somewhat bookends the series but I would not recommend reading it until you have convinced yourself you enjoy the series.
5,894	why the fuck would you pay to watch this when people are streaming it for people to watch? password is 4u	1. Because I like films, and for the film industry to stay alive, the hundreds of different jobs it takes to make a film deserve payment for their hard work. 2. Support digital distribution. If they start seeing this as a valid platform, maybe they will allow for digital box offices, some people would prefer this than going to a theatre. I'm sure that there are enough people that go to theatres to keep them in business, too
5,895	I actually pirate shit sometimes but I hate seeing people trying to justify it and complaining about not being able to STEAL MUSIC/MOVIES on the internet	Screaming (or typing in caps) that copyright infringement is theft doesn't make it any less false. As I said, your bias is clear.
5,896	This variety is frequently the most traumatizing. She cannot ever discuss it with anyone. Her rapist was her brother and her lover and the father of her children, one of whom was murdered and the body in the same room. Everything about it was so terrible in ways that other instances of rape in the series don't even approach.	Her rapist is a man that she's used to having consensual sex with. That doesn't sound very traumatizing to me. Losing a son is traumatizing, and I don't think the rape adds that much trauma.
5,897	That's premium, I believe. Free users generate a fraction of that income. Spotify ads are pathetic at generating money.	Well they were a UK site and said each play was something like 0.34p which sounds like very little. Edit: link.
5,898	The can of worms isn't whether they're better, its whether they exist. Some fanbases and fragments of fanbases prefer to ignore stuff they don't like. Others prefer to acknowledge them, and discuss why they suck. Neither really works better, its just that one saves time but prevents learning from mistakes.	Yeah, that or its just a joke often used to illustrate how universally despised those films are.
5,899	Also Kendrick hasn't always been a world class 'good guy'...	Example? I literally can't find a single instance of Kendrick being a bad guy.

I am very pleased someone dropped the Asimov recommendation. It seems like it should be a given in life that everyone read at least one I.A. work of art.

Just read youth. Reminded me of a twilight zone episode. Though I didn't bother to check which came first. Edit: punctuation

People don't buy the Model 3 to go on road trips.

That's fair, but it's a general comment on the limitations these vehicles still need to overcome before they can supplant gas.

For somebody who's terrified of AI, why? I really think connecting our brains to computers is stupid, with cybersecurity being what it is. I'm really interested in what nano-machines have to offer the human body.

>For somebody who's terrified of AI, why? To better position ourselves in the long run to compete with it, I would think.

Of course it isn't perfect, but it was in many people's (mine included) opinion, it was the best Bond movie since Goldeneye. Also people hyperbolize. "Perfect" doesn't mean "perfect" anymore. It means "I like this a lot but I can't articulate that properly."

In my opinion, Daniel Craig is as good as Sean Connery. I've watched all of the Bond movies (and lately have been rewatching them) and the first few with Connery and the ones with Craig are my favourites. The plot was a little weird in Skyfall, but if this new Bond movie retains the style of Skyfall, it'll be another hit. It'll be hard to replace Craig once he leaves. He's more serious than Connery but has the same charm that works so well.

It would be more effective to send crew composed only of women because of plan B. Recently I saw Interstellar and I began wondering why crew had 4 men and only one woman. If they wanted to use plan B, in which women are used as surrogate mothers in colony set up on new planet, it would be more more effective to send more than only one woman to ensure faster growth of the colony. It would be safer too. By creating crew made only of women they would maximize the chance of survival of people on new planet. Colonists could then use male eggs to give birth to first men in colony. I don't believe that NASA wouldn't consider this.

I think the eggs were fertilized. They just needed to be incubated. So the gender of the astronauts was irrelevant?

5,805

It's something we're trying to rectify as soon as we can! I was in Texas for Fourth of July and I love it there! -Sam

Does the lyric "born in the south at home in the north" carry a meaning to any of you?

5,806

that was a tweet and other celebrities have done that without being shamed. But Kanye does it and "oh damn what a dick" I dont see people bitching at Whoopi Goldberg because she said it too.

I don't need more comments telling me it's a tweet. Yes, I called Kanye a dick, and bitched about him. You're absolutely right.

5,807

Censorship is when it is perpetrated by a State, literally by definition this is NOT censorship unless you're one of those low information voters that still thinks Donnie Two Tangerines is totes innocent NO COLLUSION COLLUSION IS NOT A CRIME BUT INVESTIGATE HILLARY AND OBAMA FOR COLLUSION WHICH IS TOTALLY NOT A CRIME!!!1!

> Censorship is when it is perpetrated by a State, Holy shit! That is not true. Censorship is preventing people from voicing their opinion through repression. No necessity there for it being done by a government.

5,808

The economy here in the US is driven by war. Prior to invading Iraq I read that most of the military's ammunition's shelf life was soon to expire. It was not the reason we went into Iraq, but using up our supplies of bullets missiles etc was a factor.

I don't get why that would be a factor. Nobody saves money by shipping thousands of people over seas to shoot stuff before it goes bad. Am I missing something?

5,809

Hear me out. If there are ways to use more than one of pretty much every component in a computer, shouldn’t be a way to use two different motherboards?

Nope. Nothing in the desktop will be compatible with the laptop -- everything will be physically larger (more or less). Sounds like you should get a new replacement drive for the laptop and reinstall the os afresh -- speed issues sound like a failing drive. You can set up remote administration on the desktop to make use of it as a surrogate, use remote desktop or teamviewer or something -- but you'll need to have a decent internet connection both sides, and setting up a VPN or ssh tunnel into your network and not exposing the machine to the internet is ***highly*** recommended.

5,810

While Nolan was great I prefer Burton's Batman films and I think it largely comes down to the aesthetics. The environment seems dripping with gothic atmosphere and menace and greatly influenced comic based films coming after it like The Shadow and Dick Tracy.

I think they both present two very different versions of Batman/Joker. I know a lot of people love the Nolan films, but I grew up with Burton's Batman, and think that they are (for what they are) just as solid as Nolan's. It also terrifies me that there might be some people who've seen The Dark Knight trilogy but never gone back to this classic.

5,811

Where is the credit card slot? Hardly any entertainment on an airplane is free. And what is free is hardly worth watching. I was on an airplane for 5 hours with one of those seat back touch screens. It didn't work. The touch screen wouldn't register input.

All that stuff you pay for on domestic flights is usually free on international ones. Even food and booze.

5,812

Why don't tech workers have an international or even domestic unionist yet? Tech workers can automate nearly all the the issues with older unions such as finances and voting as well as eliminate corruption.

Because most engineers are paid well enough they don't see the point. Especially when they are still young and anti social so they don't see the problem with working non stop.

5,813

Worse than the acts of [the Indian guy from *The 40-Year-Old Virgin*]

Is that worse than the guy from those Naked Gun movies that killed that lady and dude?

5,814

Does that mean you can't return it? Thats lame. They seem to refresh the S series around this time each year, for when your contract expires.

No it doesn't. I'd guess that the UK has much better return laws than the US too.

5,815

If the "other burger" is pretty damn famous for being meaty, I fail to see why that wouldn't be acceptable. Or if, say, in a song, someone says that person X is as beautiful as person Y. That kind of situation can happen.

Except that Kilimanjaro is like, twice Olympus' height. So your argument is that it's not a metaphorical comparison, but it's also shitty as a straight up normal one, too.

5,816

Radiohead are generous masters. LP9 and the goods keep coming. But True Love Waits on an album is still hard to fathom. I remember hearing them use it as a lead-in to Everything in its Right Place at Bonnaroo 2012 and thinking that was the closest I'd ever get.

I love the song and the current version, but it somehow doesn't feel right slapped on the end of this album

5,817

Someone tried to defend him on Twitter last night. Scott Weinberg I think. Started coming under attack from the SJWs.

They can go fuck themselves. Gibson is back! It's about damn time.

5,818

Rap heads in general aren't really concerned with subgenres and divisions occur more based on location and time than musical characteristics.

This is a much better way to classify hip hop.

5,819

Gotta be honest, though I disagree with that statement, if it were true, I'd be okay with that.

People bitching about a bigger deathstar is a bit ridiculous. It wasn't a bad idea to begin with, just poorly implemented. They did it bigger and better and an actual physical cover to go with the energy shields.

5,820

The religious criticism as sub-text is completely unnecessary. I haven't read it but I know there is discussion of it in the book.

Why is it when anyone, even Stephen Hawking, discusses matters which were in the past only discussed in a religious context it is automatically criticism? He doesn't criticize religion. He compares religious ideas to scientific ideas. He's talking about the universe, it's origins and it's ultimate fate. Idea's which were up until recently only ever talked about in a religious context. Don't knock it if you haven't read it.

5,821

He is absolutely going to smash the shit out of Thanos with Mjolnir. Whether or not it'll do anything is another thing. Besides, we all know Squirrel Girl is going to come out of nowhere and save the day.

That would honestly make my decade. I figure Marvel will get to her around Phase 8, along with the GLA, Gwenpool, and the Awesome Slapstick.

5,822

Iron Man 3 isnt even out yet but they have the AUDACITY to say it is one of my favorite movies!? Blasphemy!

Let me know where on the list it falls after you see it May 3rd. If it's anything like the first 2 I have no doubt it should fall in this collection : )

5,823

So Germany is going through the WMG days. Dark days for German youtube, Dark days

Hm, I think we had those here, too. We get all the DMCA take downs and other american copyright stuff plus our own stupid censorship.

5,824

Coraline by Neil Gaiman. I had shivers down my spine.

Good book, to be sure, but it is designed to be a horror book. I saw Gaiman speak recently and he said that he wrote Coraline because when his daughter was young he went to the library and discovered that there weren't many horror books written for children.

5,825

There's a new battery coming soon article every month. Unless its a cell manufacturer annoucing a new product themselves, its all fud. Stuff that works in a laboratory may never be mass productionable.

I agree but some better tech will pan out eventually!

5,826

That's odd. I didn't read Things Fall Apart until my freshman year in college, in the advanced English class. We did Heart of Darkness in high school. Can't remember which year. Probably senior.

Checking in here as someone else who did the reverse - Things Fall Apart was a required reading for I think 9th or 10th grade Honors English, Heart of Darkness was an AP Lit book.

5,827

> The BBC poll was based on a survey of 1,000 adults, each asked which book “every child should read” That's a pretty small sample size. Small enough that it seems possible they are a bit out of touch with modern children. Nothing says fun holiday reading like The Bible

'A survey of 1,000 elderly members of the church of England from northern Oxfordshire'.

5,828

As a non-expert, let me tell you. Experts will probably try to dismiss them with "Oh, they're worth nothing. 100 bucks for all, save some space on the shelf and go have a nice dinner with your wife" - of course you should not believe them

Don't know why downvoted. I know it is kinda sad, but I don't trust an advice from a person that will profit on my decision

5,829

Well the Technical Preview *literally* records every keystroke and sends it to Microsoft. All their previews always have done that, read the agreement on it if you don't believe me, it doesn't say they *can* it says they *do.* I don't understand why anybody would use the Technical Preview as a day to day OS. You've given Microsoft a copy of all your user names and passwords in plain text.

A keystroke is encoded as a single byte, video and audio are 4-5 orders of magnitude above that PER SECOND. Good luck sending them without completely clogging up the up band of most connections 24/24, let alone sending them unnoticed. Microsoft is NOT going to take your users and passwords and sell them because it would be idiotic, too little money for too much risk. The NSA and co don't rely on them to get the data, too much of a liability.

5,830

One of the greatest animated films in the history of the genre. I do wonder if it would have worked if it had been live-action.

I don't think so. Would've been a completely different film experience and a lot to think about concerning use of practical/computer generated effects. The way it was executed with the 2D animation was perfect for the story.

5,831

Can confirm. Diagnosed just over a week ago. Getting in and out of bed sucks big time. Rolling over in bed is sickening. I'm ok standing and sitting, but laying down or reclining is the worse.

Interesting. That sucks and I'm sorry you have to suffer with this. Does alcohol hurt or help the condition?

5,832

Is a white male. (They didn't read Obam's yet)

That shouldn't be surprising though. We all already knew that.

5,833

Man on Wire is goddamn brilliant. Jesus Camp and King of Kong are up there as well.

Couldn't possibly agree more. All three are fascinating. I would also add Grizzly Man to that list.

5,834

Trolls seems so innocuous. Can we elevate them to online sadists?

They aren't trolls though, just fucking assholes. Trolling used to be funny, especially when people took the bait but all this sort of stuff is just online harassment of the worst kind. No trolling involved.

5,835

Nelly was huge, he sold a ton of records, like 21 million. his recent stuff just sucks a bucket of baby dicks.

I remember Country Grammar but I didn't think it did that well

5,836

That is an overlooked scene IMO. It shows the dark, dystopian split timeline of watchmen.

Kent State, however, did happen in real life. I thought it was a mix of her and kent state into one scene.

5,837

USB-A is a legacy port at this point. Dongles are a temporary inconvenience.

It should be, and it will be eventually. But it's not yet.

I would think there would be enough "prior art" to void this patent, if some had the $$ to pay a lawyer. After all we were using PWM in our Class D solid state AM transmitters 20 years ago (look up Nautel).

The patent isn't on pwm itself it's the application of it

Papillon! But it was on sale so I bought it anyway. Ended up being a great book. Then I watched the movie with Steve McQueen which I enjoyed as well

This is the greatest book I have ever read. Real prison life from 1930's from someone who is not innocent, love it so much. It makes Shawshank Redemption look like a day at the park. I have not watched the movie, I am worried it will cheapen the books story. Worth it?

5,842

> "I don't see speculation about the possibility of my death as any sort of compliment," Martin wrote. "My own hope is to live another thirty years and write thirty more books." Fuck outta here.

Yeah, sure. Maybe if his next book is titled "Thirty More Books". GRRM must be trippin'.

5,843

How about you work on the mass incarceration problem in America for non violent offenders. Or the decriminalization of certain drugs to promote rehabilitation instead of incarceration. But thats ok, I am sure meeting Pusha T will help...

She's _also_ doing those things, it's just that people don't care because it doesn't fit their narrative.

5,844

Sorry it's not a full playlist but check out the song On & On & On by Catch 22 I think it's exactly what you are looking for.

Catch 22 has a lot of stuff I think would work. If you end up liking them Streetlight Manifesto is very similar. Also On & On & On is on the album Keasbey Nights, you'll find streetlight has put out that same album. Not saying one is better than the other but if you like the one you may like the other and that in reverse. Both groups put out very good music in my opinion.

5,845

In terms of instrumental solos this is second only to Hotel California's guitar solo in my opinion.

For some reason, I think stairway's guitar solo is one of the best.

5,846

Somehow Goosebumps passed me by at the time, although I remember my sister being heavily into Point Horror books. I vaguely remember I considered them somehow ‘girly’ at the time, which is a pretty ridiculous way of thinking all-round, but I was 9.

Point Horror was passed around at school in the 1990s, but I definitely missed Goosebumps. Everyone else was also into Sweet Valley High, which was even scarier..

5,847

Why does that CG look faker than the first JP movie?

How does it? I dislike what they're doing with the color but the cg is obviously much better.

5,848

Well like he said it's frustrating since the movie hasn't been out for that long and people are shitting on it like it's the worst thing. It's completely ridiculous and he seems to have taken it personally which I can sympathize with since I likely would too.

I mean, let's be frank - that movie's plot was a mess. After they arrive on the alien planet to hunt Cumberbatch it stops being coherent or even quality story telling. Visually, it's mostly good (there's a legitimate complaint about lens flares when they overpower a scene visually). It honestly comes off as if he's unable to accept criticism or acknowledge that there ***were*** problems with the film from a story telling stand point. Not like he should be surprised anyway, as the quality of the films tend to alternate - but for a film that had 2 years to nail down a fantastic script, it was pretty inexcusable.

5,849

That is one of my favorite lyrical phrases of all time. It just pumps you up so much and makes you want to break shit!

I played so many PlayStation shooter games listening to Rage on repeat. Was soooo good.

5,850

Shit, you're right it does happen often, I just never noticed it with most of them... Looking back, I don't think I've ever seen *The* Lord of the Rings written on here.

Also very common with band names, the "The" is mostly optional.

5,851

How exactly is a rainbow made? How exactly does a sun set? How exactly does a posi-trac rear-end on a Plymouth work? It just works. Edit: No Joe Dirt fans, I guess.

So does XP, doesn't make it any less obsolete and dated.

5,852

I can appreciate the effort and can understand the reaction in the comments. I have (for several years now) been working on a fiction and non-fiction content generator that writes comprehensible stories and articles. So I know how and why attempts like these fall short of being as amazing as they could be. There's just **so** much to this technology, and it's unfortunate that it's not being approached as serious as it should be. If anyone's interested, my software is First Draft. Like I said, I've been working on it for years, but from the looks of the **their** results, it appears as if **their** story was built on a whim.

Exactly. It also seemed to me that it gave a rather heavy weight to the phrase "I don't know" and similar derivations. Which sort of make me think it was really just a ai that sorted through the listed movies and ordered phrases by how many times they were said. Then it pseudo - randomly (weighted by their input prompt) picked from those phrases and then outputted them into the final format.

5,853

Watchmen. The villain had ridiculously stupid logic and all of the heroes just went along with it immediately except for Rorschach.

Yeah, Rorschach was my favorite for that reason. He was pretty bad ass.

5,854

While it is easy to slam RS, they do make two valid points: 1. MP3 sharing does not hurt sales and 2. MP3 sharing isn't going away for a long time

The second point is certainly true. The first point is going to need to be backed up by more than your agreement to make it valid.

5,855

The Swedish ones. I read the books a a few years back and watched the Swedish films shortly after. I was actually upset when they announced they were going to be making an American version. I went into the theater expecting to hate it; I only ended up going because of the Immigrant Song cover in the opening credits. I didn't realize how much the Swedish films missed in terms of tone and the sort of mantra of the novels until I saw the American version. In my opinion, the Swedish film was more commercial than the American, it followed the plot and all but didn't strive to translate the thesis of the novels to its format, which I think is something Fincher did achieve.

That's what I loved so much about the American one. I too, saw the Swedish ones before and didn't feel that they were pushing nearly as much on the themes of violence against women, corruption, etc. that the author originally pushed for.

5,856

How much is it because of artificially low subsidized costs from China that are flooding the market? And besides solar has seen a recent boom because of almost divine breakthroughs, not because of continuted development. People are doubting it will happen again at this magnitude.

These may actually be unsubsidized prices, but these are also avoided costs in areas with unusually sunny weather. If it were the primary energy source you'd need an energy storage system that would massively drive up the costs. That issue compounds for places that aren't a desert.

5,857

Can someone enlighten me on what the 'gravity problem' was that Snr Brand was working on, and why that needed to be solved for humans to be able to leave earth?

The NASA base from the beginning was a space station that would act as an "Ark" of sorts for humanity if they're able to get it off the ground (Plan A) - The problem being that it's too large and only figuring out how to manipulate gravity will launch something of that size. Once Cooper relayed the formula they were able to get "Cooper's Station" off the ground and wormhole bound.

5,858

The carriers should not be paying the premium number resellers if the numbers are being used for fraud. Simple as that. But by forcing the victims to pay up, the carriers can also take their cut. Disgraceful.

Yeah. I don't understand why the carriers are making payments to the resellers.

5,859

In the first book a young maiden is taken doggy style repeatedly by a barbarian. Throughout the series whores are also visited regularly, and seed is spilt on stomachs fairly often.

No shit. If I get called an NPC by one more Russian troll account I’m going to lose my shit.

Except now you can't video chat with family/friends from across the ocean. Not an issue for everyone, admittedly, but there are things you lose doing this. Then again, many/most just use their phones now, huh?

And, you know, it can be removed for a call...

5,865

I can't stand him, but that doesn't mean I don't respect what the man has done musically, and no one, absolutely no one deserves to suffer when it comes to mental illness. There is so much help out there for people if they just can muster the strength to ask. It took nearly dying for me to get there, and I genuinely hope he can get the help he needs.

Nice to see man. I'm sure you'd enjoy a lot of his music if you gave him a chance and he's actually not a bad guy he just has done some dumb shit that the media has villainized him for

5,866

You can't get full 1080p on Chrome though. Only the app or Edge browser. Not sure about Firefox.

Oh, did not know that. And nope, the app still sets the audio track to 5.1.

5,867

I pretty much only read true crime. I think Iwan Rheon (Ramsey Snow/Bolton from Game of Thrones) would make a great Ted Bundy and Tim Roth would be a great Ed Gein (obviously only if they can do American accents)

Thanks to me always confusing their names, now I really want to see Iwan Rheon play Al Bundy.

5,868

I kind of hope they're unable to keep up with Moore's law at some point, so that I can stop hearing about Moore's Law.

Maybe one day I will never see a TIL about it ever again.

5,869

No, it merely means there is some precedent. Milton might not have been citing reliable doctrine, but he wasn't plucking words out of thin air either.

Hey, you may never know. Author's take plenty of creative liberty to their work. Milton may not be any different.

A Bluetooth earpiece works for you. A smart watch works for me. Just a phone works for most. Some smart glasses will work for others in the future, perhaps. This isn't a one device to rule them all kind of thing.

Not an earpiece, either Bluetooth headphones or earbuds. Two ears and audio quality are important, also not looking like a tool is important.

5,871

it's useful when you're lazy, or driving. but they could use more connectivity. For example, it'd be nice if I could go "Alexa, kill the lights" when I don't want to walk across the room or some dumb thing like that.

They can do that, the catch is you have to buy special lights that can sync with your brand of assistant. I think there will be quite a few more options in the next few years that aren't 20 bucks a bulb.

5,872

Absolutely. All this anti-piracy business show nothing more than a failure of the movie (and music, games, etc) industry to adapt to the internet, and more importantly an *unwillingness* to adapt.

I think steam and itunes are pretty good adaptations for the gaming and music industries.... it's just the movie industry that is lagging behind.

5,873

Which is your favourite? I've always thought Fragile is their masterpiece, followed by Relayer.

Tough question. I'd probably go with Close to the Edge, the title track and And You and I are incredible. I do think Siberian Khatru is a little weaker though but it's definitely not bad by any means

5,874

Johnny Mnemonic. It's admittedly are pretty stupid movie, and Keanu's acting is at a career low, but there's so much to love about it too. William Gibson wrote the script, it has a fantastic supporting cast- Dolf Lundgren, Henry Rollins, Beat Takashi, Udo Kier, um, Ice-T. It's my 90's "cyber movie" guilty pleasure.

Sweet Cyberpunky film. To the haters! -clinks his glass with yours-

5,875

This link isn't going to get even 1% of the clicks that the click-baity headlines of "Two Self-Driving Cars Almost Get in an Accident" get.

I still prefer The Register's "Robot Road Rage" headline to all the other click bait ones. If you are going to do a ridiculous headline that has no bearing on reality, put some effort into it.

5,876

Who thinks Tarantino looks Like Jaws from James Bond. Every time I see him he looks more and more like him. Can someone PS some steel teeth on him?

Aww, now I'm sad again because Richard Kiel is dead.

5,877

Townshend did not have his cards stolen. He admitted logging into the site and viewing the images. He then accepted the police caution which he didn't have to. I dare say that if he wasn't a celebrity then he would not have had that option.

It really is a shame that you're being down-voted for this.

5,878

So let's say I wanted to put all my games, game modding tools, and distribution services into one category. It'd be pretty hard for the UI designer to do that. The point is that you can create custom categories and organize how YOU want it.

Sure! But is the Start _Screen_ the best place for it? And not the Start _Menu_? Stacks are terrific, no doubt, I just take exception with the whole screen flip.

5,879

I honestly don't think drones will work here in the US. Too many guns and too many ya-hoos wanting a "fun" target. It would be a nightmare.

Middle-class urban areas tend to not have a lot of guns and tend to be much more tolerant of technology.

I believe this is a copy/paste of the top comment from another battery article. But it was a completely different article, and the comment still applies.

It's not a copy/paste but I wouldn't be surprised if the sentiment was more or less the exact same.

SS comes to mind here, pg. 149: >You haven't got a letter on yours," George observed. "I suppose she thinks you don't forget your name. But we're not stupid - we know we're called Gred and Forge.

I still call them Gred and Forge all the time, it tickles me.

You can use the phone app to phone your friends instead?

The phone app? Do you mean just a normal phone call? Many people do not always have call credit, especially when traveling. Data only sims are extremely common and very cheap. I don't call people via it often, but people call me on it frequently.

I wish I could see them live. Especially when Noel G is supporting them.

Saw them live on the I&E tour twice. Probably my second and third best shows I've seen. The only artist who beat them was Springsteen when I saw him from the floor. I'd definitely say if you have the chance you should go.

I mean he's a loyal bro to Caesar, how much development do you really need?

If I remember correctly, he was also Caesar's first actual ape friend.

I bet most of these are already online in some form. There are some very comprehensive digital occult libraries.

[Internet Sacred Text Archive] is one of the oldest and most comprehensive digital repositories.

I actually liked Godfather the novel, but to say it's as good as the movie is a joke. The movie is a cinematic masterpiece, the book is just alright.

I thought the novel was fantastic. I had never seen the movie when I read the book and I really, really enjoyed it. My favorite section is handled a little too fast in the film for my taste. Both are great.

Would you tell Picasso to sell one of his guitars?

If I knew Picasso, I would buy myself a grey guitar and play Mr. Jones & me.

English IS my native language and that's exactly how that reads. It's poorly worded title. I wouldn't call it click-bait though.

Eh, there's a jargon explanation: > Dude who [solved problem] now working on [second problem] Ambiguity doesn't really come into it unless you disregard "tackling" as accepting a challenge. Could be worded better, but it's not bad, per se.

As a gamer your mouse battery would of already died and been sent to battery heaven. Replace near daily use with near hourly use for me. Having a wireless mouse and keyboard was the most frustrating thing for me.

Going on almost a year now with my current Logitech wireless gaming mouse, still the same batteries it came with. You either had a really bad mouse or were experiencing issues that were unrelated to the batteries.

The enormity of these two minds coming together for a meal should have shattered every glass in the city. To hear someone say "I remember this one dinner with Pablo Picasso" is other worldly, but to have that person be the most influential man in modern music just blows my mind.

The fact he can call him so personally as "Pablo" is extraordinary.

As someone with depression I often feel traumatised by sad events in classic literature. I feel like I can’t stand it, or my heart is breaking. I let myself cry, because it turns out that crying brings humans back to an emotional calmness. Even if you are ‘too’ happy, or too angry, your body might want to cry. Let yourself cry and afterwards you feel better.

I am emotional too and often tear up at movies. I can relate to your thoughts on crying. Have a great day.

I'm curious, what books have you seen where this has and has not worked?

In my experience I thought present tense didn't work for Fifty Shades. It was hard to read already due to poor writing, but the present tense was just icing on the cake.

Which path would lead me to Raising Steam? I like trains and technological development.

The good Sir Terry wrote that one while suffering from dementia, unable to use a keyboard or typewriter, completely dictated by voice recognition software. It is his final book and somewhat bookends the series but I would not recommend reading it until you have convinced yourself you enjoy the series.

why the fuck would you pay to watch this when people are streaming it for people to watch? password is 4u

1. Because I like films, and for the film industry to stay alive, the hundreds of different jobs it takes to make a film deserve payment for their hard work. 2. Support digital distribution. If they start seeing this as a valid platform, maybe they will allow for digital box offices, some people would prefer this than going to a theatre. I'm sure that there are enough people that go to theatres to keep them in business, too

I actually pirate shit sometimes but I hate seeing people trying to justify it and complaining about not being able to STEAL MUSIC/MOVIES on the internet

Screaming (or typing in caps) that copyright infringement is theft doesn't make it any less false. As I said, your bias is clear.

This variety is frequently the most traumatizing. She cannot ever discuss it with anyone. Her rapist was her brother and her lover and the father of her children, one of whom was murdered and the body in the same room. Everything about it was so terrible in ways that other instances of rape in the series don't even approach.

Her rapist is a man that she's used to having consensual sex with. That doesn't sound very traumatizing to me. Losing a son is traumatizing, and I don't think the rape adds that much trauma.

That's premium, I believe. Free users generate a fraction of that income. Spotify ads are pathetic at generating money.

Well they were a UK site and said each play was something like 0.34p which sounds like very little. Edit: link.

The can of worms isn't whether they're better, its whether they exist. Some fanbases and fragments of fanbases prefer to ignore stuff they don't like. Others prefer to acknowledge them, and discuss why they suck. Neither really works better, its just that one saves time but prevents learning from mistakes.

Yeah, that or its just a joke often used to illustrate how universally despised those films are.

Also Kendrick hasn't always been a world class 'good guy'...

Example? I literally can't find a single instance of Kendrick being a bad guy.
