6,100	I'd imagine most people who REALLY dislike the Hobbit films are people (like me) who read and loved the book.	And also people that don't like horrible green screen, bad acting, stupid side plots, and/or annoying comic relief characters who take up way too much screen time.
6,101	Here you go: Saved as a html file so you only have to click the links	You should be hoisted to the top, because Netflix shut down both the site and the spreadsheet, looks like - according to the updated edit on the website.
6,102	Yeah but what if the piping in the foundation cracks! Nightmares. Good idea though	Not a perfect plan. But you have pipes in your foundation now (most likely) and they're fine, so I don't think it's more of a risk. (Those do crack, rarely)
6,103	Before the single was released officially, a rip from a radio station (KROQ) did the rounds on the internet. The rip still had the announcer saying "KROQ" in the beginning.	Yep, and it ended up being one of the top files for the song on Limewire, Kazaa, etc. and since that's how most people got their music in 2006--it enters the zeitgeist, I suppose. The most popular instance of this is people thinking that the song "I've Seen Better Days" by Citizen King is a Sublime song, because some knucklehead who first shares it to Napster had mislabeled it.
6,104	But then you may not live long enough to ever start or take part in any of the journey? Is the end worth that much?	Ahh but there are more excellent books out there than I can possibly read in my life time. I'll read some of those instead!
6,105	Many that have been mentioned. Some that have not: Young Wizard series by Diane Duane. Imajica by Clive Barker and many of his other books. Charles deLint. The Fionavar Tapestry by Guy Gavriel Kay. The Strands series by Gael Baudino	Canadian? ;) My favourite world of Kay's is the quasi-historical one that connects the Sarantine Mosaic, the Lions of Al-Rassan, and the Last Light of the Sun
6,106	I agree. After I read "Shutter Island" I was blown away and I told everyone I could to read the book but I didn't want to say there was a twist because it would ruin it. I went into reading the book not knowing there would be a twist because most Lehane novels are mystery books. I was floored.	lol well you just ruined it for the people reading your comment now
6,107	> the carriers. Isn't all the carrier specific stuff inside the SIM card? (aside from bloatware)	No, unless you root your phone, it will have carrier-specific code on it.
6,108	Bullshit on both of you. While their music coverage indeed sucks balls, the political coverage in Rolling Stone has been excellent recently. You may not agree with everything Matt Taibbi has to say, but at least he's not afraid to call out the hypocrisy that so many others dare not name.	Yeah, but... isn't it supposed to be a music magazine?
6,109	They can, yes. It depends on how much time he had to bulk up and what kind of gear he was running. Hollywood stars have access to the best pharmaceuticals and top notch doctors, so they can do this stuff much more safely than your average gym rat, but going from one extreme to another is going to be dangerous no matter what if you do it too fast. Even dedicated bodybuilders take years to build up their mass.	One thing to note is movie magic plus him starting from a thin frame. A lot of that muscle is showing because he didn't have a lot of fat to start with. It's like how Brad Pitt got cut for Fight Club. He lost fat to show off the muscle. Now movie magic? Well he does some pumps before the scene to look super cut. Makeup enhances it as well plus color correction.
6,110	John Wick. The Great Gatsby. Safety Not Guaranteed. Project X. The Nymphomaniac films. Machete	Maybe The Lobster. Havent seen it yet but it seems like it could reach cult status.
6,111	I've always heard rumors that the Joker would've been the judge instead of Scarecrow. Just rumors though, could be true or could be false	I've heard that too. I think that's what they would've done. Feels like a good way to have him appear in the film without risking damaging the characters appeal. I wanted more but not too much more of him. I feel like knowing more about that character could only weaken him.
6,112	Why do you have two adapters? Why not just one? And, I mean, stuff gets removed from phones gradually when it's no longer useful. It's hard to get a modern phone with an IR transceiver, it's hard to get a modern phone with an FM radio receiver. If you need a specialty component, don't be surprised when you have a limited selection of phones. People had the same complaints when the iMac removed the CD drive. That's the life cycle, and life goes on.	> And, I mean, stuff gets removed from phones gradually when it's no longer useful. When will a headphone jack ever stop being useful? How will a dongle to work with every audio device for decades be more useful than just using what we have already that works without extra accessories?
6,113	In regards to Man vs the World ending up as Man vs Man, I think Alex Garland's previous movie 28 Days Later is the most similar.	why 28 Days later? Is that not a zombie movie?
6,114	Whoa whoa whoa was that Mad Dog from The Raid at 0:36?	Ok so it is. That guy + Takashi Miike makes this a must-watch now.
6,115	gotta find people to build your evil empire without a lot of backtalk	Evil? I don't think you understand that word. Or if you do, you aren't using it correctly here.
6,116	Vonnegut based Kilgore Trout off of the old science fiction and horror writer [Theodore Sturgeon] who I've never read but have been meaning to check out.	I'll have to check him out as well, good to know.
6,117	> Battery life has been the bane of iPhone users for the last four years. We'll I stopped reading right there because I know that's not true.	I can't really agree with you, the battery life on my iPhone 4 is abysmal. It's not an exception that I'm left with a dead phone, waiting until I get home so that I can charge (not to mention the non-standard connector).
6,118	The test is to tell if people can tell on their own. Now that you've looked at the results you really shouldn't vote at all since you've biased yourself. If you want to know what the actual truth is hover your mouse on this url for this [spoiler link.](#s "A is 30fps B is 60fps C is 15fps") Also it's clear that some people can't tell the difference or haven't seen enough 60 fps content to recognize it or something. It's day and night for a large amount of us.	Useful spoiler method. [SPOILER](#s "Spoiler text here") It's basically a hyperlink with the alt text being your spoiler. It works on almost all mobile apps, many subreddits have a specified theme for it, and if not it appears as a URL and the spoiler is on mouse over. This means it also works for people not running subreddit CSS and in people's inbox. This is in contrast to the alternative spoiler method. The result is this: [SPOILER](#s "Spoiler text here")
6,119	But if it hadn't been a direct adaptation you'd have just as many fans complain about yet another movie that isn't faithful to the source material. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I have to give the movie major credit for trying to stick to the source material as much as possible and even breaking it with the conclusion for an ending that honestly just made more sense.	It's possible to stick to the source material and also make a good film in its own right. By copying the comic so closely he ended up missing everything that made it so great while not putting anything new
6,120	Nope. Prep every morning, and everything would go in the cooler. No sides were served fresh - with the exception of the weekend that 4 of our 6 line microwaves went out. Steaks and Burgers were the only thing not microwaved, unless they were sent back and the broil cook was in a bad mood (read: always). But, again.. it all comes down to issues with Franchises - I worked in two cities, both owned by the same company.	I worked fry, only thing nuked was sauces, dessert stuff and the chicken for those wonton tacos, oh and the kids mac n cheese, that was it though for me
6,121	I mean, at least you can fap to Harley Quinn.	Margo Robbie already had naked pictures. Get with it.
6,122	I fucking loved this man, but why is this in /r/movies ?	He actually wrote and starred in a couple of films as well. "El Chanfle" was prbably his most famous one, and he wrote scripts for Viruta and Capulina movies, too.
6,123	Hey guys! Creator here. Uncover was a side-project of mine, to help me track new releases from my favourite authors. I've been using it personally for a couple months now and it's actually been super helpful, so I threw together a landing page and made it available to the public. It's nothing all that sophisticated, and it could be made a lot better. Very much open to suggestions/criticism :) Thanks, and hope it helps!	Hey Josh, This looks like a really useful site, and I know a lot of people are interested in exactly this kind of product. However, to be fully compliant with [our rules on self-promotion] would you mind reposting this and either stating that it's your product in the title, or else include the link in a self/text-post in which you make it clear it's your product? Thanks!
6,124	A shitty trailer for a mediocre YA novel on perezhilton.com....I wish I had a thousand downvotes.	just because you didn't like the novel doesn't mean you should take it out on this guy's link karma. that's the funny thing about opinions. everybody has them and they're not all the same.
6,125	I've heard about it, but I've always heard that it contains a lot of bullshit.	It does, but it's still a really good documentary if you're interested in these kinds of things. Basically, I think the director just got as many people, that were willing to discuss their Shining fan theories, as he could so he wasn't able to be selective on which theories were presented.
6,126	Your thoughts echo a lot of thoughts I had when I read the book! I read the book for a class and the Frankenstein/Elizabeth being adopted siblings thing was brought up. The professor suggested it's totally a valid reading of the novel to see their perversion/incest as foreshadowing or at least semi\-related to the perversion of nature that Frankenstein commits in creating life. Also, the cottager's backstory is critically read as the deepest part of a nested story. The story exists in nested frames: Frankenstein on the boat after the events of the main story \> his telling of the story \> the monster's telling of its life after being abandoned \> the cottager's backstory. But I agree that part is rather dull!	I kind of agree on Victor/Elizabeth but at the same time I can see it. They weren't just in love incestuously, they were raised that way. The family openly hoped that they would marry and as such treated them as betrothed the entire time they were growing up. If you grew up with a hottie you weren't related to that your whole family constantly said was someone you should marry I would think it would at least cross your mind. In terms of it foreshadowing perversion I think that works as well, but it's in that the monster outwardly seems a perversion but is, in fact, an intelligent creature that has more depth and yet less understanding of convention.
6,127	What do you put so much work in pretending to relax?	I think you mean why? And I think you're making some odd assumptions about my mindset. I love humor, I love hearing people laugh. I love looking at a friend or a stranger, seeing a genuine smile, and knowing I had something to do with it. I've had so much trauma and tragedy in my life, and every day can be such a fucking struggle. But knowing that I'm gonna be sparking joy in other people's lives keeps me pushing through. My mind also happens to be running at a constant 100m/hr pace, so why not dedicate some of that energy to humor? It's gotta go somewhere.
6,128	You didn't address the arguments against your "easy to generate" claim. Were you simply wrong?	It is easier to generate than a currency that only one entity can create. It may not be easy in that I can just run a piece of paper through a printer but it's easy in that anyone with a couple hundred bucks can do it.
6,129	It's a pretty big assumption that it wont be subject to NSA oversight.	Pretty sure Kim Dot Com is outside of the US and is no fan of the FBI since they tried to have him forcefully and possibly illegally extradited. I don't think he has any reason to give them any sort of oversight. Whether his product can match his intent is a different question that I can't answer.
6,130	I think all I listened to in 1998 was the Beatles...	me too!:D favourite beatles abum? sgt peppers was mine! tbh yes, i listened to a lot of 90s bands in the 90s such as the cardigans, garbage, nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, no doubt, massive attack and smashing pumpkins, but i also listened to music that came from previous decades such as the 60s/70s/80s as well :/
6,131	> At the end of the day, they do the same shit. With one notable exception: you can't write iOS apps on anything other than a Mac. Thankfully that's changing, with Microsoft's compatibility layer.	Well, you could use an engine like Unity or something.
6,132	Pizza Planet is the equivalent of McDonalds in the universe. It spreads out to everything. Even their movies.	also: in monster inc they use the same wallpaper as in toystory, when Randal exercises his cloaking abilities
6,133	While this movie looks really good, their choice of trailer music was awful. That second tune brought me out of the moment instantaneously.	I hope that doesn't make it into the movie, not even the end trailer.
6,134	Helps he picked the best song he released this year.	See both sides like Chanel c on both sides like Chanel
6,135	I really dislike any stage act that brings any attention onto things other than the music. People give me so much shit for this but I honestly just want to listen to good music. Not watch someone dance onstage in an obscure outfit.	So you're not a fan of Michael Jackson or Tool?
6,136	Similar worth me and Smash. A few years back I actually got the chance to meet Offspring and tell Dexter he was the reason I got into music, really cool memory for me.	That's so awesome! I have always dreamt about meeting them and telling them how much the mean to me, but I think I'd just end up choking up and crying hahah
6,137	OK, thanks. Yes, I have all the movies in my Netflix queue so I will keep watching. I just through we had sorted out Harry's living arrangements so the following stories would start out at the school. "Different directors" is disappointingly mundane. For something as iconic as the school grounds you'd think they would have picked one place in Engerland and stuck with it.	The living situation does get explained later on, much better in the books and it does make sense. At first I kept asking why he would go back to that shit hole also but after they explained why there's a bit of an 'Ohh, ok.' You'll also notice a difference in the clothes they wear from the first 2 movies to the third and fourth. In the first they all wear black robes and the black stocking hat thing at the dining hall. In 3 they start wearing more typical people clothing and in 4 they combine look. Like they have Adidas type warm ups with the stripes and sleeve cinch straps but they're on robes.
6,138	I'm askin' for your guidance, won't you come down from your throne?	I need a tight compadre, who will teach me how to rock.
6,139	>This is the film that caused Hollywood to realize they could feed us anything and we would gobble it up with popcorn, butter and a supersized sugary fountain drink. I would have to disagree with this assessment. WaterWorld was essentially a flop in the box office, it only did $88 million domestic and the cost of production was $172 million(though international and video sales caused it to roughly break even). If anything it did the exact opposite. Really, I enjoyed WaterWorld. But I also watched it in 2005 so I wasn't as keep to jump on the bash bandwagon.	What was up with the giant sea monster that attacks them and is never seen again?
6,140	Not to mention the Morlocks in the Wishbone version gave me intermittent nightmares for years as a child. Also didn't help my fear of the dark.	That and the 'Hound of the Baskervilles' episode were absolutely terrifying.
6,141	The part where it shaked the toddler like a dog shakes its doll. My face is still get goosebumps King is so good at picturing this terror.	fascinating word structure (better word for it?) you have there, can I ask your nationality?
6,142	I never said I thought it was their job to roam the country side giving out medicine, not sure how you came to that conclusion. I read the same books as you did, I know the maesters do a whole hell of a lot for the castles to which they are assigned. One of those tasks being Doctor. Edit: okay, I can see how you may have interpreted my use of 'literally.' I should have said, "it's literally [part of] their job."	This is true, they do tend to take to that role.
6,143	Geek culture was the point of the book, but I don't think the author intended for it to come off as cringey.	I think its the idea of someone writing the book that seems so cringey.
6,144	Cracked.com is so full of shit, very interesting until you realise its 70% bs.	If you do not like this, you can change this by writing articles yourself. You will even get paid for your efforts.
6,145	Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets by David Simon. Fantastic book. If you're a fan of HBO series The Wire, this is a must read!	Yes, he makes you feel like you're right there, seeing and hearing every single part of the action. Simon is a mad genius.
6,146	Why might you not be able to trust your isps dns? If your searching for new cars, your isps dns could see that search, then send you to a specific dealerships website that paid the isp to do this. So instead of search results, you get an ad.	But if I search for new cars on Google or Bing or whatever, and I choose the www.newcars.com link, my ISP isn't going to send me to www.billscarlot.com. The purpose of the DNS is to to translate the URL into an IP address.
6,147	I don't see the problem. Apple is very popular and in general people love their products. Their writing is only a reflection of that	Can't tell if sarcasm...no one wants that thing. Read any other article: [old prediction] New review. [Edit]
6,148	I've read that there is no such thing as a sugar high...	My good sir, where did you read this? I'd like to have words with these people.
6,149	you forgot the date on that. I'd give it. . . 1998? Microsoft is a much different company now.	If you think they don't still have that philosophy, you are in for a bad surprise.
6,150	If it's not designed to protect against that, what IS it designed to protect against? It also tells you: > Going incognito doesn’t hide your browsing from your employer, your internet service provider, or the websites you visit. I don't see anything left in the list that it could be intended to hide things from.	This is an issue with how GPU drivers handle memory safety, the chrome team cannot and should not do anything about it. Otherwise you need to also demand that chrome private mode detects screen recording software, pressing the printscreen button, remote desktop tools, keyloggers running, ... and kills them.
6,151	Tron: Uprising is one of the best cartoons of the decade.	I really want a season 2. Even if its just for the music.
6,152	The issue is that someone familiar with privacy services is likely to be biased in favor of them and less likely to listen to the arguments of the prosecution or defense. No lawyer wants a jury full of people who go, "You must meet my own standards of guilt or I will make decision X," on a trial where a unanimous decision may be required to convict or acquit someone.	>The issue is that someone familiar with privacy services is likely to be biased in favor of them and less likely to listen to the arguments of the prosecution or defense. Someone unfamiliar with privacy services is likely to be biased against them and less likely to listen to the reasoned arguments of the prosecution or defense.
6,153	Speaking to your tastes in Radiohead and Pink Floyd... I think you should listen to The Alan Parsons Project. Loud. Tales of Mystery and Imagination is one of the greatest concept albums of all time. Wear headphones and turn off the lights. That said, for regular listening, I'd go for I, Robot or The Turn of a Friendly Card first. (Honorable mention, Stereotomy.) Try that and if you like it and you want another to get you out of the box you're in, maybe getting a little historical and digging into the back catalog... let me know which genre you'd like recommendations on and I'll get back to you: funk, soul, folk, jazz, americana, psychedelia.	Thanks, I'll check it out! I'd be quite interested in listening to some jazz, I have some Charlie Parker and Buddy Rich on my phone at the moment which I quite enjoy
6,154	With normal semiconductors you can take a np diode and a pn and put them in series to make nppn and it functions like a npn, no? Wouldn't that apply here too?	I'm pretty sure that won't work, even with normal semiconductors. Do tell me if I'm wrong though.
6,155	>It's a hate story about hateful people who hate and make everyone miserable, including themselves. Totally agree and that's why I liked it.	Maybe if I had gone into prepared, I would have liked it better. I had the impression it was a love story, so I was incredulous as I got dragged into the hate. Perhaps I'll give it another try.
6,156	Spend a year in utah and tell me it's not the culture. These people blindly follow what ever the prophet says no matter what and that is what terrifies me more than anything about it. Outside of Utah it's more acceptable to be a "jack" mormon but here it's all or nothing and it shows.	Spent two years in Utah, actually, going to school. You're really over exaggerating.
6,157	but my point is, we are so heavily invested in the "must of the thinnest phone possible". I for one - and I'm sure plenty of others are more than happy to have a phone that is 3 or 4 mm thicker so it can actually last more than a day of heavy usage.	It is soon not going to be about phones... it's going to be about vehicles and how much energy we can pack into a given space.
6,158	Link for the lazy. EDIT: Serj says Graham 'Gruhamed' Hartmann of loudwire.com is wrong, no new album because, "... we have not yet agreed on a timetable for another record due to its time commitments." :(	I don't know if that was really Serj, his proof was a link to an unverified instagram profile (something I don't really see him having) with only 3 photos and 300 followers.
6,159	Exactly. Hell, my adviser was looking at one to create a 3d map of coarse woody debris in the forest for carbon estimation. 200 dollars is absolutely nothing for a nifty new scientific instrument, even if nothing comes of it.	That new Google tablet which seems to have a kinect like device built in and the usual gyroscope and stuff sounds like it would be good for outside mapping like that. Dunno if they're selling it soon yet, but probably sometime soon.
6,160	I agree. And I kinda felt like that song belonged into that time period anyways. And the really weird thing for me is that I legit thought that it was an old song. Like the first time I heard it I thought "oh cool, they're playing that song again" as if I knew it already. Never happened with any other song before and I still can't shake that feeling of it being as old and as familiar as its "contemporaries". Does anyone maybe know a song that's really similar or something? My brain probably just sorted it in the wrong way; kinda like how it does with deja vu's.... Anyways, needeles to say this version resonated with me deeply	"Young Blood" by the Naked and Famous did that for me. Not at all the same style as Gotye, but I remember thinking I knew the song before the first time I heard it. It kind of has an 80s flavor too.
6,161	I'm now pretty convinced you're either completely deluded and don't know what you're talking about, or trolling us.	it was just a joke that flew wide of the mark
6,162	Yup it's on Netflix there's also a sequel on Netflix. movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Battle_Royale_2/70012571	Sequel is terrible, as is the Director's Cut of the first movie (weird ending). Is this official release have anything to do with the American remake?
6,163	All of those numbers would be pretty worthless if no one liked the way it sounded! It did however win a Grammy, & I think it's pretty good when I'm in the mood for psychedelic drama.	This post makes it sound like they did it on purpose to be nerds or something. It's just the way the song goes because it's the way the groove goes.
6,164	"Cities in Flight" by James Blish is city focused. Slower-than-light traveling city-states. What's not to like? Focuses on a flying New York City.	You've hit the bullseye, this is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks!
6,165	But how do you enter your product key? I have a product key for Windows 8, I got the free upgrade to Windows 8.1, but I don't have a Windows 10 product key.	If you're just using this to upgrade, and not do a clean install, you don't need to put in your product key.
6,166	Yes, but the rest of the dotnet framework isn't..	Many parts of the dotnet framework are and all the new stuff is. The trend is towards open sourcing. edit: This getting downvoted shows the mentality here. No one is interested in facts, just bashing M$ for what they did 15+ years ago.
6,167	I think it's because they tried it with Princess and the frog and it just didn't do as well. I looked up the box office sales on wikipedia. Bolt (2008) - $309,979,994. Princess and the frog (2009) -$267,045,765. Tangled (2010)- $591,794,936. But there's a wide variety of reasons that could have led to that besides just the animation style.	It's sad because I have always been a huge fan of Disney movies but did not enjoy the Princess and the Frog. I found the story to be pretty weak, though, and it had nothing to do with the animation which I found to be beautiful.
6,168	...So we're just going to go ahead and ignore Python, C++, Javascript, Ruby, Perl and PHP? This is leaving out languages which run on JVM. You seriously picked out Vala before any of those? Even if these languages aren't built for iOS, it sure as hell would make developers' lives easier if you took something they may already be familiar with and adapted it to iOS.	They don't want a scripting language (though, if they did... RubyCocoa's already in OS X, so that'd be a natural step). And they don't want to arbitrarily change to a language (C++) that's essentially similar to what everyone's already got (Obj-C). Unlike your suggestions, The languages mentioned are actually similar to swift. As it stands, there's no mature language in this area that isn't under the de-facto control of one of Apple's competitors... Vala's the closest to that right now. Also. > PHP. Oh god no.
6,169	Im tempted to head over the Lincoln Center to give it a go... but I am not in the mood to wait hours in line for 5 minutes. I'm very much looking forward to what OR can do, but waiting in line is something I'm no longer interested in doing	same thing. i'd really like to check out rift, but i feel like the line might just be ridiculous.
6,170	But nobody cares about irrelevant personal understandings of a historical tradition. I could see Christmas as the day I masturbate publicly - that has nothing to do with history. I don't care how people you know personally interpret it.	> I could see Christmas as the day I masturbate publicly. But then what would you do on Arbor Day?
6,171	Most episodes are on YouTube, not sure if they still sell the DVD collection. One of my favorite shows ever, sad that it only lasted two seasons.	Oh I have the had the boxset; I had it special ordered from my local movie shop when they came out over 7 years ago. Best $40 I've ever spent.
6,172	In my opinion, not particularly. Kylo is a wannabe, very literally, and that kind of thing just shows how self-doubting he is about it. I came away with the impression that he's not even especially talented, and we might find out what's what led him to work with Snoke.	He's definitely strong in the Force, stopping a blaster shot in midair is pretty impressive. But I suspect his emotional issues (want to bet he felt like his parents abandoned him when they sent him to learn to be a Jedi?) have him torn enough he can't focus near as much as he needs to, for either side of the Force.
6,173	Forbidden Planet - A captain (Leslie Neilson) leads his crew on an expedition to find out what happened to the colonist of Altair-4. Arriving they discover there is only one man remaining (Walter Pidgeon,) and his daughter (Anne Francis,) and that he may be hiding something. A fantastic piece of retro sci fi that plays out like a psychological horror.	I love this movie. It's basically The Tempest in space with Neilson playing it straight.
6,174	Probably not. But that's not really my point. Lots of people in this thread are decrying the use of Bowie's song in the service of crass commercialism. Even if it is a cover. What I'm saying is, fine. It may be crass (although I think the movie looks good and I like how the song is used). But how is the usage of this song crass but The Black Keys can commercialize the hell out of their product and people are fine with that?	Music is an art form. So is cinema. I don't see anything wrong with pairing a song that the director sees appropriate with a trailer. I thought the music worked really damned well with the trailer.
6,175	How is a desktop-only app helpful for a mobile phone? Unless you're suggesting carrying a desktop computer around all day in your pocket?	You mean you don't already? Mr Fancy Pants over here not taking his desktop everywhere!
6,176	The article is talking about using the Plex app on the TV itself and injecting ads in other TV apps. I assume /u/ojazer92 means playing through the Plex app on an HTPC instead.	Oh, I've only used plex as a htpc app. I didn't even know that modern smart tvs had that app.
6,177	I cried at the end of "the Book Thief" by Markus Suzak... beautiful book! I've cried to many other books, but this one i remember was i public. oh and "a little life" by Hanya Yanahigara made me both cry AND miss my stop on a train ride so...	I feel you, I lost so much time missing stops or not flagging down the passing bus because I was reading.
6,178	Oh, and Kyle Chandler in just about any movie he graces. (Super 8, The Spectacular Now, Wolf of Wall Street)	Loved him in King Kong, the guy can be really funny.
6,179	Whats not to like? Some people's time is very expensive to them so they dont mind paying extra to have zero hassle when dealing with certain things.	I just don't see it being that much faster when most of these services already have phone apps. Why would you text someone (like the example Magic gives) that you want "some yogurt"? It's too vague! Am I going to get one big tub of plain yogurt? A variety 6-pack of berry yogurt? I should just use Fresh Direct myself and get exactly what I wanted.
6,180	Am I confused or did you not see the 2014. Taylor's album has been out all year, and part of last, not 3 months.	Sorry for the confusion, I meant that Taylor sold 3.5 million in 3 months, from october 2014 - december 2014, vs adele in 3 weeks time. But that doesn't matter b/c apparently adele might have done that in under a week.
6,181	Where the fuck did you come up with this stuff?	his rectum would be the place of birth for that comment.
6,182	It's almost like Thrift Shop is a parody of modern rap and the rest of the songs are actually serious commentaries about modern society.	oh i heard he thinks the gays are equal, how brave of him to think that, he must be really courageous to have such a subversive stance on that issue, truly a poet
6,183	Now, THAT was funny. But then I'm Indian, so I guess I'm blase about Daler. Needs more fluorescent green or orange to wake me up! :)	Have you heard [Benny Lava] Prabhu Deva yo! For some reason it wasn't as popular in India as elsewhere.
6,184	YOU'RE AN UNCLEFUCKER, YES IT'S TRUE, NOBODY FUCKS UNCLES QUITE LIKE YOU	You're a uncle fucker I must say! You fucked your uncle yesterday!
6,185	Daft Punk won when "Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City" was nominated (Macklemore won best Rap Album that year, though), but point taken- and this year's was completely absurd. I never thought there would be a worse decision than Radiohead's "OK Computer" losing to a mediocre Bob Dylan album in 1998, but this one might rank there.	30 years late from his best stuff... but Time out of mind was phenomenal .
6,186	nope. Iron Man brings tens of million of dollars (and really upwards of hundreds) to each film he's in. There is a reason they payed 50-80 million for him to appear in later films instead of writing his character off. If they could kill tony and save 50 mil per film they would.	They already have a back up plan to replace RDJ
6,187	Insurance prices go up every year. Albeit much slower under Obamacare. edit: Citation [From Forbes:] While 65 percent of existing policies will see an increase in premium costs for 2015, the median increase will be just 4 percent.	Plan prices rose 30%ish at least every year since ObamaCare was passed. Most plans did dramatic rate cuts before the law went into effect to prepare for the cost increase from everyone suddenly needing insurance.
6,188	Make it mandatory by default with the option in there to do it manually. That way the general population gets the updates they need, and the more tech-savvy people can update at their leisure when they're not doing something.	> Make it mandatory by default with the option in there to do it manually. That way the general population gets the updates they need. Except they won’t because their “I know better” kid or relative will disable it for them.
6,189	Because if you didn't enjoy it, it makes no sense for other people to...?	Is that what I said? I'm looking, but I don't see that statement in my comment. I think my comment said more about "how I felt" regarding how adults moon over YA literature, and I used the Hunger Games series as an example. Not sure where I made any remarks about sense or what other people should or shouldn't do.
6,190	Dang. I teach 4th grade math and science in Florida. When I found out about this, I was really hoping it would be open to everybody. I wanted to meet Chance. And maybe get a reward. This is still insanely awesome though!	You know its gonna be just a larger version of "teacher of the year" at your local school or district. Basically some politics and a popularity contest. I hope not though, and that he really highlights the teachers that are putting in the real hard work in those districts.
6,191	I wonder how much my phone company will assfuck me to get these speeds?	Unfortunately, this says that it only supported those speeds up to "200 meters" from a base station tower. The problem with the high frequency spectrum like 24G is that it has much less penetration through walls and obstacles.
6,192	Great suggestions! We're settling down to watch "Modern Times" right now :-)	One of my favorites! I hope your son likes it!
6,193	Catcher in the Rye. Thought it would be good. Hated almost every word of it. IF EVERYONE IN THE WORLD IS A PHONY, THEN MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU.	If I ever wrote such a bad book I'd probably become a recluse.
6,194	The hardcovers of The Hike by Drew Magarey and The Thief of Always by Clive Barker were the first two I thought of	The Hike was an impulse buy and turned into one of my favorite novels 😍🙌🏽
6,195	Gotta be [Dawn's Early Light] by Yonder Mountain String Band. More of a jam band bluegrass, but its super awesome.	I really like YMSB too, such great driving songs, I always used to jam to them in my car.
6,196	Has it even leaked? Haven't found anything about it online. Not even news magazines commented on it being leaked. At least not after my research.	I can confirm as well - watching it right now actually.
6,197	Displayport is fucking awesome. What's even better, it supports vga, dvi, and hdmi, given you buy a passive (and thus cheap and compact) adapter, in case you need to hook up an ancient monitor or projector. Iirc, hdmi does not support vga without an active (expensive, power hungry, and clunky) adapter.	Oh neat, I didn't realize that DisplayPort supports passive VGA, I just assumed it was like HDMI.
6,198	That's fucking rude. You don't know this person's story. You need to check yo self👎🏻	How did someone from Instagram make it here. We need to quarantine this thread immediately
6,199	City of God!! Amazing cinematography and the story is so raw! Greatest movie of all time. Also Mesrine 1 and 2. If you haven't seen these films, shame on you	Is mesrine like city of god (violence gang etc.)? i fuckin loved city of god and have been looking for a similar movie ever since (city of men was alright)

I'd imagine most people who REALLY dislike the Hobbit films are people (like me) who read and loved the book.

And also people that don't like horrible green screen, bad acting, stupid side plots, and/or annoying comic relief characters who take up way too much screen time.

6,101

Here you go: Saved as a html file so you only have to click the links

You should be hoisted to the top, because Netflix shut down both the site and the spreadsheet, looks like - according to the updated edit on the website.

6,102

Yeah but what if the piping in the foundation cracks! Nightmares. Good idea though

Not a perfect plan. But you have pipes in your foundation now (most likely) and they're fine, so I don't think it's more of a risk. (Those do crack, rarely)

6,103

Before the single was released officially, a rip from a radio station (KROQ) did the rounds on the internet. The rip still had the announcer saying "KROQ" in the beginning.

Yep, and it ended up being one of the top files for the song on Limewire, Kazaa, etc. and since that's how most people got their music in 2006--it enters the zeitgeist, I suppose. The most popular instance of this is people thinking that the song "I've Seen Better Days" by Citizen King is a Sublime song, because some knucklehead who first shares it to Napster had mislabeled it.

6,104

But then you may not live long enough to ever start or take part in any of the journey? Is the end worth that much?

Ahh but there are more excellent books out there than I can possibly read in my life time. I'll read some of those instead!

6,105

Many that have been mentioned. Some that have not: Young Wizard series by Diane Duane. Imajica by Clive Barker and many of his other books. Charles deLint. The Fionavar Tapestry by Guy Gavriel Kay. The Strands series by Gael Baudino

Canadian? ;) My favourite world of Kay's is the quasi-historical one that connects the Sarantine Mosaic, the Lions of Al-Rassan, and the Last Light of the Sun

6,106

I agree. After I read "Shutter Island" I was blown away and I told everyone I could to read the book but I didn't want to say there was a twist because it would ruin it. I went into reading the book not knowing there would be a twist because most Lehane novels are mystery books. I was floored.

lol well you just ruined it for the people reading your comment now

6,107

> the carriers. Isn't all the carrier specific stuff inside the SIM card? (aside from bloatware)

No, unless you root your phone, it will have carrier-specific code on it.

6,108

Bullshit on both of you. While their music coverage indeed sucks balls, the political coverage in Rolling Stone has been excellent recently. You may not agree with everything Matt Taibbi has to say, but at least he's not afraid to call out the hypocrisy that so many others dare not name.

Yeah, but... isn't it supposed to be a music magazine?

6,109

They can, yes. It depends on how much time he had to bulk up and what kind of gear he was running. Hollywood stars have access to the best pharmaceuticals and top notch doctors, so they can do this stuff much more safely than your average gym rat, but going from one extreme to another is going to be dangerous no matter what if you do it too fast. Even dedicated bodybuilders take years to build up their mass.

One thing to note is movie magic plus him starting from a thin frame. A lot of that muscle is showing because he didn't have a lot of fat to start with. It's like how Brad Pitt got cut for Fight Club. He lost fat to show off the muscle. Now movie magic? Well he does some pumps before the scene to look super cut. Makeup enhances it as well plus color correction.

6,110

John Wick. The Great Gatsby. Safety Not Guaranteed. Project X. The Nymphomaniac films. Machete

Maybe The Lobster. Havent seen it yet but it seems like it could reach cult status.

6,111

I've always heard rumors that the Joker would've been the judge instead of Scarecrow. Just rumors though, could be true or could be false

I've heard that too. I think that's what they would've done. Feels like a good way to have him appear in the film without risking damaging the characters appeal. I wanted more but not too much more of him. I feel like knowing more about that character could only weaken him.

6,112

Why do you have two adapters? Why not just one? And, I mean, stuff gets removed from phones gradually when it's no longer useful. It's hard to get a modern phone with an IR transceiver, it's hard to get a modern phone with an FM radio receiver. If you need a specialty component, don't be surprised when you have a limited selection of phones. People had the same complaints when the iMac removed the CD drive. That's the life cycle, and life goes on.

> And, I mean, stuff gets removed from phones gradually when it's no longer useful. When will a headphone jack ever stop being useful? How will a dongle to work with every audio device for decades be more useful than just using what we have already that works without extra accessories?

6,113

In regards to Man vs the World ending up as Man vs Man, I think Alex Garland's previous movie 28 Days Later is the most similar.

why 28 Days later? Is that not a zombie movie?

6,114

Whoa whoa whoa was that Mad Dog from The Raid at 0:36?

Ok so it is. That guy + Takashi Miike makes this a must-watch now.

6,115

gotta find people to build your evil empire without a lot of backtalk

Evil? I don't think you understand that word. Or if you do, you aren't using it correctly here.

Vonnegut based Kilgore Trout off of the old science fiction and horror writer [Theodore Sturgeon] who I've never read but have been meaning to check out.

I'll have to check him out as well, good to know.

6,117

> Battery life has been the bane of iPhone users for the last four years. We'll I stopped reading right there because I know that's not true.

I can't really agree with you, the battery life on my iPhone 4 is abysmal. It's not an exception that I'm left with a dead phone, waiting until I get home so that I can charge (not to mention the non-standard connector).

6,118

The test is to tell if people can tell on their own. Now that you've looked at the results you really shouldn't vote at all since you've biased yourself. If you want to know what the actual truth is hover your mouse on this url for this [spoiler link.](#s "A is 30fps B is 60fps C is 15fps") Also it's clear that some people can't tell the difference or haven't seen enough 60 fps content to recognize it or something. It's day and night for a large amount of us.

Useful spoiler method. [SPOILER](#s "Spoiler text here") It's basically a hyperlink with the alt text being your spoiler. It works on almost all mobile apps, many subreddits have a specified theme for it, and if not it appears as a URL and the spoiler is on mouse over. This means it also works for people not running subreddit CSS and in people's inbox. This is in contrast to the alternative spoiler method. The result is this: [SPOILER](#s "Spoiler text here")

6,119

But if it hadn't been a direct adaptation you'd have just as many fans complain about yet another movie that isn't faithful to the source material. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I have to give the movie major credit for trying to stick to the source material as much as possible and even breaking it with the conclusion for an ending that honestly just made more sense.

It's possible to stick to the source material and also make a good film in its own right. By copying the comic so closely he ended up missing everything that made it so great while not putting anything new

6,120

Nope. Prep every morning, and everything would go in the cooler. No sides were served fresh - with the exception of the weekend that 4 of our 6 line microwaves went out. Steaks and Burgers were the only thing not microwaved, unless they were sent back and the broil cook was in a bad mood (read: always). But, again.. it all comes down to issues with Franchises - I worked in two cities, both owned by the same company.

I worked fry, only thing nuked was sauces, dessert stuff and the chicken for those wonton tacos, oh and the kids mac n cheese, that was it though for me

6,121

I mean, at least you can fap to Harley Quinn.

Margo Robbie already had naked pictures. Get with it.

6,122

I fucking loved this man, but why is this in /r/movies ?

He actually wrote and starred in a couple of films as well. "El Chanfle" was prbably his most famous one, and he wrote scripts for Viruta and Capulina movies, too.

6,123

Hey guys! Creator here. Uncover was a side-project of mine, to help me track new releases from my favourite authors. I've been using it personally for a couple months now and it's actually been super helpful, so I threw together a landing page and made it available to the public. It's nothing all that sophisticated, and it could be made a lot better. Very much open to suggestions/criticism :) Thanks, and hope it helps!

Hey Josh, This looks like a really useful site, and I know a lot of people are interested in exactly this kind of product. However, to be fully compliant with [our rules on self-promotion] would you mind reposting this and either stating that it's your product in the title, or else include the link in a self/text-post in which you make it clear it's your product? Thanks!

6,124

A shitty trailer for a mediocre YA novel on perezhilton.com....I wish I had a thousand downvotes.

just because you didn't like the novel doesn't mean you should take it out on this guy's link karma. that's the funny thing about opinions. everybody has them and they're not all the same.

6,125

I've heard about it, but I've always heard that it contains a lot of bullshit.

It does, but it's still a really good documentary if you're interested in these kinds of things. Basically, I think the director just got as many people, that were willing to discuss their Shining fan theories, as he could so he wasn't able to be selective on which theories were presented.

6,126

Your thoughts echo a lot of thoughts I had when I read the book! I read the book for a class and the Frankenstein/Elizabeth being adopted siblings thing was brought up. The professor suggested it's totally a valid reading of the novel to see their perversion/incest as foreshadowing or at least semi\-related to the perversion of nature that Frankenstein commits in creating life. Also, the cottager's backstory is critically read as the deepest part of a nested story. The story exists in nested frames: Frankenstein on the boat after the events of the main story \> his telling of the story \> the monster's telling of its life after being abandoned \> the cottager's backstory. But I agree that part is rather dull!

I kind of agree on Victor/Elizabeth but at the same time I can see it. They weren't just in love incestuously, they were raised that way. The family openly hoped that they would marry and as such treated them as betrothed the entire time they were growing up. If you grew up with a hottie you weren't related to that your whole family constantly said was someone you should marry I would think it would at least cross your mind. In terms of it foreshadowing perversion I think that works as well, but it's in that the monster outwardly seems a perversion but is, in fact, an intelligent creature that has more depth and yet less understanding of convention.

6,127

What do you put so much work in pretending to relax?

I think you mean why? And I think you're making some odd assumptions about my mindset. I love humor, I love hearing people laugh. I love looking at a friend or a stranger, seeing a genuine smile, and knowing I had something to do with it. I've had so much trauma and tragedy in my life, and every day can be such a fucking struggle. But knowing that I'm gonna be sparking joy in other people's lives keeps me pushing through. My mind also happens to be running at a constant 100m/hr pace, so why not dedicate some of that energy to humor? It's gotta go somewhere.

6,128

You didn't address the arguments against your "easy to generate" claim. Were you simply wrong?

It is easier to generate than a currency that only one entity can create. It may not be easy in that I can just run a piece of paper through a printer but it's easy in that anyone with a couple hundred bucks can do it.

6,129

It's a pretty big assumption that it wont be subject to NSA oversight.

Pretty sure Kim Dot Com is outside of the US and is no fan of the FBI since they tried to have him forcefully and possibly illegally extradited. I don't think he has any reason to give them any sort of oversight. Whether his product can match his intent is a different question that I can't answer.

6,130

I think all I listened to in 1998 was the Beatles...

me too!:D favourite beatles abum? sgt peppers was mine! tbh yes, i listened to a lot of 90s bands in the 90s such as the cardigans, garbage, nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, no doubt, massive attack and smashing pumpkins, but i also listened to music that came from previous decades such as the 60s/70s/80s as well :/

6,131

> At the end of the day, they do the same shit. With one notable exception: you can't write iOS apps on anything other than a Mac. Thankfully that's changing, with Microsoft's compatibility layer.

Well, you could use an engine like Unity or something.

6,132

Pizza Planet is the equivalent of McDonalds in the universe. It spreads out to everything. Even their movies.

also: in monster inc they use the same wallpaper as in toystory, when Randal exercises his cloaking abilities

6,133

While this movie looks really good, their choice of trailer music was awful. That second tune brought me out of the moment instantaneously.

I hope that doesn't make it into the movie, not even the end trailer.

6,134

Helps he picked the best song he released this year.

See both sides like Chanel c on both sides like Chanel

6,135

I really dislike any stage act that brings any attention onto things other than the music. People give me so much shit for this but I honestly just want to listen to good music. Not watch someone dance onstage in an obscure outfit.

So you're not a fan of Michael Jackson or Tool?

6,136

Similar worth me and Smash. A few years back I actually got the chance to meet Offspring and tell Dexter he was the reason I got into music, really cool memory for me.

That's so awesome! I have always dreamt about meeting them and telling them how much the mean to me, but I think I'd just end up choking up and crying hahah

6,137

OK, thanks. Yes, I have all the movies in my Netflix queue so I will keep watching. I just through we had sorted out Harry's living arrangements so the following stories would start out at the school. "Different directors" is disappointingly mundane. For something as iconic as the school grounds you'd think they would have picked one place in Engerland and stuck with it.

The living situation does get explained later on, much better in the books and it does make sense. At first I kept asking why he would go back to that shit hole also but after they explained why there's a bit of an 'Ohh, ok.' You'll also notice a difference in the clothes they wear from the first 2 movies to the third and fourth. In the first they all wear black robes and the black stocking hat thing at the dining hall. In 3 they start wearing more typical people clothing and in 4 they combine look. Like they have Adidas type warm ups with the stripes and sleeve cinch straps but they're on robes.

6,138

I'm askin' for your guidance, won't you come down from your throne?

I need a tight compadre, who will teach me how to rock.

6,139

>This is the film that caused Hollywood to realize they could feed us anything and we would gobble it up with popcorn, butter and a supersized sugary fountain drink. I would have to disagree with this assessment. WaterWorld was essentially a flop in the box office, it only did $88 million domestic and the cost of production was $172 million(though international and video sales caused it to roughly break even). If anything it did the exact opposite. Really, I enjoyed WaterWorld. But I also watched it in 2005 so I wasn't as keep to jump on the bash bandwagon.

What was up with the giant sea monster that attacks them and is never seen again?

6,140

Not to mention the Morlocks in the Wishbone version gave me intermittent nightmares for years as a child. Also didn't help my fear of the dark.

That and the 'Hound of the Baskervilles' episode were absolutely terrifying.

6,141

The part where it shaked the toddler like a dog shakes its doll. My face is still get goosebumps King is so good at picturing this terror.

fascinating word structure (better word for it?) you have there, can I ask your nationality?

6,142

I never said I thought it was their job to roam the country side giving out medicine, not sure how you came to that conclusion. I read the same books as you did, I know the maesters do a whole hell of a lot for the castles to which they are assigned. One of those tasks being Doctor. Edit: okay, I can see how you may have interpreted my use of 'literally.' I should have said, "it's literally [part of] their job."

This is true, they do tend to take to that role.

6,143

Geek culture was the point of the book, but I don't think the author intended for it to come off as cringey.

I think its the idea of someone writing the book that seems so cringey.

Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets by David Simon. Fantastic book. If you're a fan of HBO series The Wire, this is a must read!

Yes, he makes you feel like you're right there, seeing and hearing every single part of the action. Simon is a mad genius.

6,146

Why might you not be able to trust your isps dns? If your searching for new cars, your isps dns could see that search, then send you to a specific dealerships website that paid the isp to do this. So instead of search results, you get an ad.

But if I search for new cars on Google or Bing or whatever, and I choose the www.newcars.com link, my ISP isn't going to send me to www.billscarlot.com. The purpose of the DNS is to to translate the URL into an IP address.

6,147

The issue is that someone familiar with privacy services is likely to be biased in favor of them and less likely to listen to the arguments of the prosecution or defense. No lawyer wants a jury full of people who go, "You must meet my own standards of guilt or I will make decision X," on a trial where a unanimous decision may be required to convict or acquit someone.

>The issue is that someone familiar with privacy services is likely to be biased in favor of them and less likely to listen to the arguments of the prosecution or defense.

Speaking to your tastes in Radiohead and Pink Floyd... I think you should listen to The Alan Parsons Project. Loud. *Tales of Mystery and Imagination* is one of the greatest concept albums of all time. Wear headphones and turn off the lights. That said, for regular listening, I'd go for *I, Robot* or *The Turn of a Friendly Card* first. (Honorable mention, *Stereotomy*.) Try that and if you like it and you want another to get you out of the box you're in, maybe getting a little historical and digging into the back catalog... let me know which genre you'd like recommendations on and I'll get back to you: funk, soul, folk, jazz, americana, psychedelia.

Thanks, I'll check it out! I'd be quite interested in listening to some jazz, I have some Charlie Parker and Buddy Rich on my phone at the moment which I quite enjoy

With normal semiconductors you can take a np diode and a pn and put them in series to make nppn and it functions like a npn, no? Wouldn't that apply here too?

I'm pretty sure that won't work, even with normal semiconductors. Do tell me if I'm wrong though.

6,155

>It's a hate story about hateful people who hate and make everyone miserable, including themselves. Totally agree and that's why I liked it.

Maybe if I had gone into prepared, I would have liked it better. I had the impression it was a love story, so I was incredulous as I got dragged into the hate. Perhaps I'll give it another try.

6,156

Spend a year in utah and tell me it's not the culture. These people blindly follow what ever the prophet says no matter what and that is what terrifies me more than anything about it. Outside of Utah it's more acceptable to be a "jack" mormon but here it's all or nothing and it shows.

Spent two years in Utah, actually, going to school. You're really over exaggerating.

6,157

but my point is, we are so heavily invested in the "must of the thinnest phone possible". I for one - and I'm sure plenty of others are more than happy to have a phone that is 3 or 4 mm thicker so it can actually last more than a day of heavy usage.

It is soon not going to be about phones... it's going to be about vehicles and how much energy we can pack into a given space.

Link for the lazy. EDIT: Serj says Graham 'Gruhamed' Hartmann of loudwire.com is wrong, no new album because, "... we have not yet agreed on a timetable for another record due to its time commitments." :(

I don't know if that was really Serj, his proof was a link to an unverified instagram profile (something I don't really see him having) with only 3 photos and 300 followers.

6,159

Exactly. Hell, my adviser was looking at one to create a 3d map of coarse woody debris in the forest for carbon estimation. 200 dollars is absolutely nothing for a nifty new scientific instrument, even if nothing comes of it.

That new Google tablet which seems to have a kinect like device built in and the usual gyroscope and stuff sounds like it would be good for outside mapping like that. Dunno if they're selling it soon yet, but probably sometime soon.

6,160

I agree. And I kinda felt like that song belonged into that time period anyways. And the really weird thing for me is that I legit thought that it was an old song. Like the first time I heard it I thought "oh cool, they're playing that song again" as if I knew it already. Never happened with any other song before and I still can't shake that feeling of it being as old and as familiar as its "contemporaries". Does anyone maybe know a song that's really similar or something? My brain probably just sorted it in the wrong way; kinda like how it does with deja vu's.... Anyways, needeles to say this version resonated with me deeply

"Young Blood" by the Naked and Famous did that for me. Not at all the same style as Gotye, but I remember thinking I knew the song before the first time I heard it. It kind of has an 80s flavor too.

6,161

I'm now pretty convinced you're either completely deluded and don't know what you're talking about, or trolling us.

it was just a joke that flew wide of the mark

Yup it's on Netflix there's also a sequel on Netflix. movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Battle_Royale_2/70012571

Sequel is terrible, as is the Director's Cut of the first movie (weird ending). Is this official release have anything to do with the American remake?

All of those numbers would be pretty worthless if no one liked the way it sounded! It did however win a Grammy, & I think it's pretty good when I'm in the mood for psychedelic drama.

This post makes it sound like they did it on purpose to be nerds or something. It's just the way the song goes because it's the way the groove goes.

"Cities in Flight" by James Blish is city focused. Slower-than-light traveling city-states. What's not to like? Focuses on a flying New York City.

You've hit the bullseye, this is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks!

But how do you enter your product key? I have a product key for Windows 8, I got the free upgrade to Windows 8.1, but I don't have a Windows 10 product key.

If you're just using this to upgrade, and not do a clean install, you don't need to put in your product key.

Yes, but the rest of the dotnet framework isn't..

Many parts of the dotnet framework are and all the new stuff is. The trend is towards open sourcing. edit: This getting downvoted shows the mentality here. No one is interested in facts, just bashing M$ for what they did 15+ years ago.

I think it's because they tried it with Princess and the frog and it just didn't do as well. I looked up the box office sales on wikipedia. Bolt (2008) - $309,979,994. Princess and the frog (2009) -$267,045,765. Tangled (2010)- $591,794,936. But there's a wide variety of reasons that could have led to that besides just the animation style.

It's sad because I have always been a huge fan of Disney movies but did not enjoy the Princess and the Frog. I found the story to be pretty weak, though, and it had nothing to do with the animation which I found to be beautiful.

...So we're just going to go ahead and ignore Python, C++, Javascript, Ruby, Perl and PHP? This is leaving out languages which run on JVM. You seriously picked out Vala before any of those? Even if these languages aren't built for iOS, it sure as hell would make developers' lives easier if you took something they may already be familiar with and adapted it to iOS.

They don't want a scripting language (though, if they did... RubyCocoa's already in OS X, so that'd be a natural step). And they don't want to arbitrarily change to a language (C++) that's essentially similar to what everyone's already got (Obj-C). Unlike your suggestions, The languages mentioned are actually similar to swift. As it stands, there's no mature language in this area that isn't under the de-facto control of one of Apple's competitors... Vala's the closest to that right now. Also. > PHP. Oh god no.

Im tempted to head over the Lincoln Center to give it a go... but I am not in the mood to wait hours in line for 5 minutes. I'm very much looking forward to what OR can do, but waiting in line is something I'm no longer interested in doing

same thing. i'd really like to check out rift, but i feel like the line might just be ridiculous.

But nobody cares about irrelevant personal understandings of a historical tradition. I could see Christmas as the day I masturbate publicly - that has nothing to do with history. I don't care how people you know personally interpret it.

Most episodes are on YouTube, not sure if they still sell the DVD collection. One of my favorite shows ever, sad that it only lasted two seasons.

Oh I have the had the boxset; I had it special ordered from my local movie shop when they came out over 7 years ago. Best $40 I've ever spent.

In my opinion, not particularly. Kylo is a wannabe, very literally, and that kind of thing just shows how self-doubting he is about it. I came away with the impression that he's not even especially talented, and we might find out what's what led him to work with Snoke.

He's definitely strong in the Force, stopping a blaster shot in midair is pretty impressive. But I suspect his emotional issues (want to bet he felt like his parents abandoned him when they sent him to learn to be a Jedi?) have him torn enough he can't focus near as much as he needs to, for either side of the Force.

**Forbidden Planet** - A captain (Leslie Neilson) leads his crew on an expedition to find out what happened to the colonist of Altair-4. Arriving they discover there is only one man remaining (Walter Pidgeon,) and his daughter (Anne Francis,) and that he may be hiding something. A fantastic piece of retro sci fi that plays out like a psychological horror.

I love this movie. It's basically *The Tempest* in space with Neilson playing it straight.

6,174

Probably not. But that's not really my point. Lots of people in this thread are decrying the use of Bowie's song in the service of crass commercialism. Even if it is a cover. What I'm saying is, fine. It may be crass (although I think the movie looks good and I like how the song is used). But how is the usage of this song crass but The Black Keys can commercialize the hell out of their product and people are fine with that?

Music is an art form. So is cinema. I don't see anything wrong with pairing a song that the director sees appropriate with a trailer. I thought the music worked really damned well with the trailer.

How is a desktop-only app helpful for a mobile phone? Unless you're suggesting carrying a desktop computer around all day in your pocket?

You mean you don't already? Mr Fancy Pants over here not taking his desktop everywhere!

The article is talking about using the Plex app on the TV itself and injecting ads in other TV apps. I assume /u/ojazer92 means playing through the Plex app on an HTPC instead.

Oh, I've only used plex as a htpc app. I didn't even know that modern smart tvs had that app.

I cried at the end of "the Book Thief" by Markus Suzak... beautiful book! I've cried to many other books, but this one i remember was i public. oh and "a little life" by Hanya Yanahigara made me both cry AND miss my stop on a train ride so...

I feel you, I lost so much time missing stops or not flagging down the passing bus because I was reading.

Oh, and Kyle Chandler in just about any movie he graces. (Super 8, The Spectacular Now, Wolf of Wall Street)

Loved him in King Kong, the guy can be really funny.

6,179

Whats not to like? Some people's time is very expensive to them so they dont mind paying extra to have zero hassle when dealing with certain things.

I just don't see it being that much faster when most of these services already have phone apps. Why would you text someone (like the example Magic gives) that you want "some yogurt"? It's too vague! Am I going to get one big tub of plain yogurt? A variety 6-pack of berry yogurt? I should just use Fresh Direct myself and get exactly what I wanted.

Am I confused or did you not see the 2014. Taylor's album has been out all year, and part of last, not 3 months.

Sorry for the confusion, I meant that Taylor sold 3.5 million in 3 months, from october 2014 - december 2014, vs adele in 3 weeks time. But that doesn't matter b/c apparently adele might have done that in under a week.

Where the fuck did you come up with this stuff?

his rectum would be the place of birth for that comment.

It's almost like Thrift Shop is a parody of modern rap and the rest of the songs are actually serious commentaries about modern society.

oh i heard he thinks the gays are equal, how brave of him to think that, he must be really courageous to have such a subversive stance on that issue, truly a poet

6,183

Now, THAT was funny. But then I'm Indian, so I guess I'm blase about Daler. Needs more fluorescent green or orange to wake me up! :)

Have you heard [Benny Lava] Prabhu Deva yo! For some reason it wasn't as popular in India as elsewhere.

Daft Punk won when "Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City" was nominated (Macklemore won best Rap Album that year, though), but point taken- and this year's was completely absurd. I never thought there would be a worse decision than Radiohead's "OK Computer" losing to a mediocre Bob Dylan album in 1998, but this one might rank there.

30 years late from his best stuff... but Time out of mind was phenomenal .

6,186

nope. Iron Man brings tens of million of dollars (and really upwards of hundreds) to each film he's in. There is a reason they payed 50-80 million for him to appear in later films instead of writing his character off. If they could kill tony and save 50 mil per film they would.

They already have a back up plan to replace RDJ

Insurance prices go up every year. Albeit much slower under Obamacare. edit: Citation [From Forbes:] While 65 percent of existing policies will see an increase in premium costs for 2015, the median increase will be just 4 percent.

Plan prices rose 30%ish at least every year since ObamaCare was passed. Most plans did dramatic rate cuts before the law went into effect to prepare for the cost increase from everyone suddenly needing insurance.

Make it mandatory by default with the option in there to do it manually. That way the general population gets the updates they need, and the more tech-savvy people can update at their leisure when they're not doing something.

> Make it mandatory by default with the option in there to do it manually. That way the general population gets the updates they need. Except they won’t because their “I know better” kid or relative will disable it for them.

Because if you didn't enjoy it, it makes no sense for other people to...?

Is that what I said? I'm looking, but I don't see that statement in my comment. I think my comment said more about "how I felt" regarding how adults moon over YA literature, and I used the Hunger Games series as an example. Not sure where I made any remarks about sense or what other people should or shouldn't do.

Dang. I teach 4th grade math and science in Florida. When I found out about this, I was really hoping it would be open to everybody. I wanted to meet Chance. And maybe get a reward. This is still insanely awesome though!

You know its gonna be just a larger version of "teacher of the year" at your local school or district. Basically some politics and a popularity contest. I hope not though, and that he really highlights the teachers that are putting in the real hard work in those districts.

I wonder how much my phone company will assfuck me to get these speeds?

Unfortunately, this says that it only supported those speeds up to "200 meters" from a base station tower. The problem with the high frequency spectrum like 24G is that it has much less penetration through walls and obstacles.

Great suggestions! We're settling down to watch "Modern Times" right now :-)

One of my favorites! I hope your son likes it!

6,193

Catcher in the Rye. Thought it would be good. Hated almost every word of it. IF EVERYONE IN THE WORLD IS A PHONY, THEN MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU.

If I ever wrote such a bad book I'd probably become a recluse.

The hardcovers of The Hike by Drew Magarey and The Thief of Always by Clive Barker were the first two I thought of

The Hike was an impulse buy and turned into one of my favorite novels 😍🙌🏽

Gotta be [Dawn's Early Light] by Yonder Mountain String Band. More of a jam band bluegrass, but its super awesome.

I really like YMSB too, such great driving songs, I always used to jam to them in my car.

6,196

Has it even leaked? Haven't found anything about it online. Not even news magazines commented on it being leaked. At least not after my research.

I can confirm as well - watching it right now actually.

6,197

Displayport is fucking awesome. What's even better, it supports vga, dvi, and hdmi, given you buy a passive (and thus cheap and compact) adapter, in case you need to hook up an ancient monitor or projector. Iirc, hdmi does not support vga without an active (expensive, power hungry, and clunky) adapter.

Oh neat, I didn't realize that DisplayPort supports passive VGA, I just assumed it was like HDMI.

6,198

That's fucking rude. You don't know this person's story. You need to check yo self👎🏻

How did someone from Instagram make it here. We need to quarantine this thread immediately

City of God!! Amazing cinematography and the story is so raw! Greatest movie of all time. Also Mesrine 1 and 2. If you haven't seen these films, shame on you

Is mesrine like city of god (violence gang etc.)? i fuckin loved city of god and have been looking for a similar movie ever since (city of men was alright)
