407,800	Yeah it's pretty much always at the top of every "Which famous book do you think is rubbish?" thread on reddit. I would probably put it down to being mandatory reading for American schoolchildren.	I thought it was banned for the most part? I certainly never read it in school.
407,801	It would be quicker to revoke control than to go to the back and unplug the ethernet.	What, you mean normal people don't just have a set of killswitches for things like power and internet?
407,802	mining bitcoin with a spare GPU or any consumer hardware is futile in the world today especially if you are paying for electricity. You might want to look into some lesser known crypto currencies. If you are going to leave your machine on anyway I can see doing crypto or even projects like Boinc.	I see what you're saying but would it be possible to have to gpus like that without sli?
407,803	ugh, I work in corporate IT and I once had an engineer call me complaining that his VPN doesn't work very well...on airplanes. He expected to be able to work absolutely normally mid-flight because he'd paid for in-flight WiFi. It was really, really hard to get through that call without using the phrase "inflight WiFi is garbage and you're an idiot for buying it." He kept insisting something was wrong with the VPN and therefore it should be our responsibility to fix it.	I wouldn't hold it against him. It isn't marketed as piece-of-shit Internet access, so I think it was reasonable for a non-technical... Oh. You said engineer. I retract my defense.
407,804	> and very basic electronic/electromechanical knowledge. What portion of the population has those skills? What portion of the population is able to buy a drone?	> What portion of the population has those skills? I mean, its as easy as using google, honestly... >What portion of the population is able to buy a drone? I think you're vastly overestimating the destructive power such a lightweight device is capable of.
407,805	Can we take a second to appreciate that the header image shows an OSX shell emulator that's reading a Windows header file? That they chose to read the only major non-POSIX system's source? EDIT: On a serious note, this was a compellingly-written and cool article.	Yeah, it's crazy how similar the narrative of these events is like fiction. Sure, most hacking stuff is nothing like what's shown on tv or in the movies, but in this case it almost sounds like the plot of a film.
407,806	I had a few problems in the past with delivery men just leaving the package in front of my home so I hope these trucks will not do that :)	These trucks will just drive through your front wall and drop the parcel off directly in your living room.
407,807	for indie-folk try neutral milk hotel, the front bottoms, andrew jackson jihad, and the taxpayers.	especially the front bottoms (amazing), neutral milk hotel is very lofi an jarring if you dont pick the right songs.
407,808	No one told me it was going to be a sad ending. I bawled on a full city bus at the end of that shit.	I read Of Mice and Men on an airplane. Middle seat, between two strangers. Just sitting there, silently, tears streaming down my face.
407,809	Nolan has revolutionized the comic book film and has shown the new heights that it can reach. I cant wait to see what comes next out of Nolan's imagination.	Considering he took a bunch of characters and didn't pull it off as smoothly as transitioning several movies into the Avengers, Joss Whedon made comic book movies bigger. All Nolan did was add "realness" and take away nipples.
407,810	Wasn't scary. Good atmosphere and at least one good scare I liked, but I generally found it to be quite predictable	Exactly what I thought! She made it seem like I would be terrified, and when I watched it I was like meh
407,811	I totally missed that Dean was black. I was picturing someone like Cedric, tall and rugby-ish, tousled blond hair and blue eyes. Then I saw the movies and was really confused when Ginny started dating this random black kid. Went back and read the books again, and realized my mistake. To be fair, Rowling describes him as "dark" like once, which I just took to mean "slightly mysterious".	Similarly I'm still confused as to whether Michael is supposed to be black or not. Hermione describes him as "the dark one" and similar language is used to describe Dean so???
407,812	Yeah... I'd love to read some more of this guy's summaries of things. "Oh, Hitler? Yeah he was this Austrian guy, led the Nazi party, he was elected Chancellor of Germany in 1933, one thing led to another and he committed suicide in a bunker in Berlin."	The Brian Regan bit was Adolph Hitler was rejected from art school, one thing led to another, and the United States dropped two atomic bombs on the sovereign nation of Japan.
407,813	Of course? Audrey Niffenegger has only published one novel. It was a damn fine one, but still ...	Excuse my ignorance. My collection of books isn’t that large so I suppose you could say she is my favourite by default. I haven’t read any other novels quite as gripping as hers yet.
407,814	Here guys I'll translate this for you. >I haven't actually listened to Kanye's music but I heard about him on reddit so I actively carry my bias around with me and spread it when appropriate, which to me means always. there you go	Or, it could be, that there are people in the world who think his shit is painful to listen to. I haven't figured out what all the hype about Beyonce is either.
407,815	Google Fiber is 1Gbps down and 1Gbps up. I wonder what Comcast's upload speed is? Probably south of 100Mbps.	Which is a shade better than my 100d/10u connection. I'll take 100 up...
407,816	It's a weird album. It has it's moments of genius, but it's pretty incoherent and wandering most of the time. Close to the Edge, thought it's a 20 minute song, has a musical theme that it follows throughout, and comes back to it.	I've listened to that album so many times. After hearing it enough, you start to understand what's happening a bit more, and you can hear the themes cropping up in very ingenious ways. They actually even use a theme from Close To The Edge in one of the last two songs, I think.
407,817	I knew someone would catch me on a technicality. It wouldn't be reddit otherwise.	Just stand on the "from" side, you'll be cooler.
407,818	That would make Annie Hall an "urban" movie, too. "Urban" is just code for "black people in the city," though. "Juice" certainly fits, but "Blade" doesn't.	Even then, "Urban" is now code for just "black people" There could be black people in rural Birmingham Alabama and somebody could call it "urban"
407,819	Came here to say this. That soundtrack is amazing. I listen to it all the time, especially when I'm studying or doing HW.	Same here! If you'd like, check out the Tron Legacy; reconfigured version; Disney contracted a TON of artists to remix the tracks; Avicci, M83, Teddybears, Glitch Mob! :D It's just as amazing as the original album.
407,820	Well hello there, I'm a hardware test engineer at HGST. The reason why our drives are so reliable is because we beat the living piss out of our drives. We're also willing to wait on releasing products to ensure they're actually ready for the market. The legacy of DeathStar is forever burned into this organization. Never again...	I have been refurb'ing laptops/PC's on the side for years, love me some HGST drives. Dollar for dollar they are faster and more reliable than anything else. You guys hiring?
407,821	Except... The Interview was available on Google Play, YouTube, Xbox Video, and that website. I can't speak to the others, but Google Play used my gmail account, with the payment methods setup already, and played on my phone without a hassle. You have no excuse.	Spoken like someone that lives in the US. I also live in US and was excited to hear about digital viewing. But fuck Sony for thinking you can put national walls on the Internet. I don't have much time for films so I'll likely wait til it shows up on a service I pay for like HBO go, or Netflix or any of the other movie channels I pay for.
407,822	Idk I preferred mother lover over dick in a box.	bro DIAB is the greatest christmas song of all time i dont know what you're on
407,823	You mean like minorities in North Korea, I guess, where the majority reveres the leader and reports dissenters?	Not reports and not like North Korea...as in if you believe in something which many people don't approve or like you can't expect people to be completely fine with it...if you are apart of a minority you have to be able to accept criticism for who you are...you're a minority for a reason
407,824	I can only think of the movie "Green Room" when hear this song now. Great song, and a brutal movie.	I saw that movie without reading anything about it, no trailers, nothing. But when they got to the place and they realized where they where I just knew they where going to play that song. Awesome movie.
407,825	Exactly. Be glad you got paid at all and that wasn't 1 million illegal downloads. Maybe because I suck the corporate teet with my hourly job but I WISH I was lucky enough to turn my hobby into 1 million hears. paid or not. TLDR whole bunch of people heard your music for FREE and you got paid. And your complaining about it.	They didn't necessarily hear it for free, Pandora is also a subscription service. Also Pandora did get paid in part for their popular song via advertisers. The question is how much.
407,826	[Midnight Life] Kanye West's "Good Life" and M83's "Midnight City"	cant believe I had to go this far down to find something by White Panda
407,827	One of the reasons Reddit blew up was because Digg redesigned their website and everyone left	that was me. I used digg back in the day when it was huge. fark was declining (imo) and digg was awesome. then they redesigned and mass exodus ensued. most of us ended up in reddit ... where you can sign out any time you like, but you can never leave.
407,828	Why/how do you think it influenced those other films?	I saw a horror documentary that said it's considered the first slasher movie or spawned the slasher genre. Something to that effect.
407,829	Wouldn't capacitors not really be able to hold power that long? What kind of "storage capacity" are we talking about here? Also, wouldn't this mean that even while you are not using your car, you'd leak power? This seems to me, someone that knows very little about electricity and how it works, that this would only be something really viable if there was a sort of infrastructure present to easily charge cars fairly frequently. Is that right? What kind of performance could we hope to get out of this technology?	FTA they're talking about a 1.7x increase in surface area over similar carbon-based supercaps (I'm assuming a similar volume) with early materials, then speculating at near-battery levels of energy density with more mature manufacturing. Supercaps actually reaching energy densities of batteries has been a dream for some time.
407,830	Care to list of some amazing animated movies that work for both kids and adults? The 4 you listed don't make me grown when my kids suggest watching them for the 800th time. Frozen was great the first 5 times, but it's starting to get to me.	I think Frozen is one of the most rewatchable movies I've ever seen.
407,831	Man, I hate titles like this. It will shock you! You didn't know about this! 5 things that will blow your mind!	Sorry, took it from the article. I'll try to make them less annoying in the future.
407,832	But the book isn't just about a kid in Afghanistan. It deals with morality and choices as well. I don't want to post any spoilers, but he has a complicated friendship and he also makes many choices that have a drastic effect on others and change the outcomes of their lives.	I feel like my comment has already been blown a bit out of proportion; I know it isn't just about a kid in Afghanistan I only meant that it has been particularly focused on because of the last decade and a half. There are many book which deal with morality and choices and many of them are good literature; but Afghanistan is something which America's public memory will push to the side and with it anything which tries to remember or rationalize it. I just don't see something which relates directly to it becoming a classic because it identifies so closely with something many in the coming decades will try to forget.
407,833	Nothing Kanya has ever done is epic. Nothing any musical performer has done been epic. Do you even know what "epic" means? Jesus fucking christ, I can't take this anymore. Reddit is now banned from using that word.	4. of unusually great size or extent. this speech's scope is unusually great scope/extent, especially compared to what most people speak on nowadays. u fail!!!!
407,834	Which is funny because modern economics relies on science and technology. And yet there is a large branch of the party that takes it's cosmology, biology, and psychology from the bronze age.	Well, there are plenty of people out there who are willing to use the internet, all of the various means to connect to it, and all of the technology that makes it work, to attempt to posit claims against things such that if their claims were true, we would not have the internet. This is mostly through indirect means that one not studied in the varies sciences would not know or be able to connect, but still. The cognitive dissonance is strong with the anti-science movements on both sides of the isle.
407,835	I hope they don't touch Valve. EA can go fuck themselves. PUBG I think? is owned by China's biggest game company which I think? is bigger than Microsoft. Doubt they can buy PUBG	Definitely not China and definitely not bigger than Microsoft. Glad you put question marks, but definitely searchable information...
407,836	If shit titles are professional journalism, boy did dailytech.com nail it!	Shitty title, but that's a pretty thorough tech article. Much better than we usually get to see round these parts.
407,837	Me? But I'm English and mid 40s. Is whopping no longer a groovy thing to say?	Don't worry, you're still a really hoopy frood who knows where his towel is.
407,838	I remember all the "Is 200x the year of the Linux desktop?" articles. I said it wasn't going to happen and all the people on Slashdot called me names. Here is a [really old copy pasta troll] from 2004 on Slashdot. But yeah people were so absolutely shure Windows was done for and Linux was going to replace it on the desktop in some circles that anyone who couldn't see that was either 1) a complete idiot or 2) a paid shill for M$	What’s it like to be so right for so long without anyone hiring an advertising agency to proclaim your level of correctness across all channels of communication for all to bask in your eternal glory?
407,839	You bastard! I thought you meant that it is so bad that it causes you physical pain. I seriously could not understand how you could say that. Of course, that is not the case. I am relieved. I've only read Dance Dance Dance, though, so there's plenty more to read. Sometimes the books you pick up on a whim are those that stay with you the longest.	I second this, I was ready to come here and stomp on the ops opinions until his inside hurt as well. I refuse to hear anyone dissing Murakami!! But as he was not, I must say Kafka on the shore was my favourite so far though I am still reading his works.
407,840	Top 4: 1. Narrow. 2. Trans. 3. Plans. 4. Codes.	Narrow starts off so well, i can't really say a bad thing about the first half of that album.
407,841	The album I take it? Not sure if I agree with that but the title track is up there with any of their output, thats for sure.	Yeah the album. There's not a weak track on it.
407,842	Please I must see more interviews with Tarantino. Can anyone post links to some that are quality content?	[Frost over the World (8:58)] He talks about retiring, making a James Bond film (Casino Royale with Pierce Brosnan), making a children's film/western/rom-com, his favourite movie, how many films he's seen, his approach to writing/directing, and the digital and 3D eras.
407,843	Blood Mountain is definitely in the same league as Crack the Skye, imho. Consistent awesomeness from the moment you press play until it's over and you press play once again.	Agreed. CtS is the masterpiece, but Blood Mountain is just fucking awesome. But I like every album of theirs.
407,844	I don't. If there's one thing the Nolan Batman movies lacked, it was a certain "Joie de Vivre" which is absolutely necessary for Star Wars.	Yeah you're probably right. Star Wars isn't supposed to dark and twisty. I still think his take would be pretty cool, albeit inappropriate for the franchise.
407,845	I've been listening to these guys for a while now, but just now really started listening to Colors. I think I've listen to at least one song a day off the album for the past 3 months.	When you've listened to one song, how can you not listen to the rest of the album??
407,846	My evidence is that: * The video quality looks like it has been made grainy on purpose, as though noise has been added to the footage. * It just seems unlikely that Korea would develop something so expensive that seems to have no clear value or purpose, outside of being really exciting to nerds.	No clear value or purpose!?! - construction. - space exploration/repair. - search and rescue. - firefighting. - manufacturing. - exploration. - farming. - military. - police. You're nuts.
407,847	Yes! When I was a kid, my parents would always make me "promise" that I wouldn't read a new book that I begged for, all in one night. Of course I did, because I lack reading self-control...then I would have to parade around for a few days pretending that I was still reading it.	What kind of parent asks that? I would be proud of a child that can become so engrossed in a book like that.
407,848	I'm not sure what you mean, but John Wick is cool.	It's not out yet - The only for him to own it is to have pirated it.
407,849	Oh man. I read Trainspotting back in high school. It gets fucking rough.	Just finished the book. It does get really fucked up... Very enjoyable read though.
407,850	Books aren't dangerous, knowledge in books should never be restricted imo	What if it was directions on how to cook meth?
407,851	If they change it I don't mind - she was created in the 90s for a kids audience.	Hmm... I still think I'd prefer Joker's mind games over physically torturing her.
407,852	I mean, I wasn't there, but my relatives who were there, and we're all super into less than wholesome street meetups agree that it was. Take the 305 for example, opening up your exhaust system and valvetrain easily launch you to 300 crank, a 50%increas over stock if you had any vague aggression in the Cam at all. As you went more and more aggressive power goes up. Not as much 80s but the 5.0 in the foxbody was stupid easy to bump from its stock numbers. Cam and exhaust could easily put a lot of those engines 50% above where they were, which leaves strong numbers for the time frame, considering the modular through the 2000s was low 300s	I'll tell you how I know it wasn't easy. I have no clue about anything you just said. You act like that's common knowledge. I used to sell cars for a living and I don't know what the fuck a cam even is.
407,853	I will il first read fountain head then tale of two cities then catch 22 and then il try to get to the rest of the comedy!	It won't work. I actually read Inferno in November, began Purgatorio in January & I was in Heaven in March, all blossoming around. Fucking physical experience. It was like being underwater & then reach surface & breath. Wow!
407,854	Having rewatched Willow recently, great is not how I would describe it. I didn't remember the brownies being so damn annoying and cringe worthy as comic relief characters. Willow is fun, it's neat and stuff but too flawed to be great.	Yeah, definitely one of those things that's better when you think of from your past than revisiting it kinda like the Neverending Story. I wouldn't be pissed about a remake of either of those movies, just because they're both so hard for me to watch today.
407,855	Rift is an interesting choice for best phish albums. I'm going to go give it another listen.	I think it exhibits the most range and stays true to the idea of a concept album. They have an amazing body of work, but Rift really speaks...
407,856	Inb4 it becomes illegal to refuse to give law enforcement the password to your phone	It already is in the UK. The US can try to force it, but the fifth amendment kind of makes the attempt null since giving up the passcode would be a form of self incrimination.
407,857	The end of Serenity. Did not expect that. Put me on edge for the last ten minutes of the film. I remember the entire audience letting out a collective gasp when [Wash was impaled](/spoiler) and the theater was dead silent in shock for a good couple of minutes. Oh, and first time I saw Shawshank Redemption and [the warden yanked down the poster](/spoiler).	My 'didn't see that coming' moment in Serenity was when the Reavers appeared in the ion cloud. I don't feel bad, though, because Mal even said I wouldn't see it coming.
407,858	Day Break. Watch this. It's like groundhog day but hes a cop and was framed and he finds different clues each time he goes through a day of who and why he was framed.	This one, for me, is amongst the very best examples of this trope. A criminally underrated series.
407,859	Yep, I've seen this on several video pages now. Thankfully my ISP is one of only 4 "YouTube HD Verified" ISPs in North and South Carolina. Guess who's not one of them - Time Warner Cable and AT&T. [Proof.]	I've got an extremely wide variety of different ISPs to choose from in my location. [Just look at how many there are.]
407,860	When something happens that is unbelievable and wrong, it's common to hear the phrase "this is bullshit" uttered. To "call bullshit" on something, is to say that it is not to be trusted, it's fake, or nonsense. It doesn't work very well in other permutations - your example of "happiness" doesn't really work, but English profanity is a lot more versatile than most other words... [a relevant example]	SECTION \| CONTENT. :--\|:-- Title \| the word fuck. Description \| watch the FUCKING video. Length \| 0:02:34. **** ^(I am a bot, this is an auto-generated reply \| )^[Info] ^\| ^[Feedback] ^\| ^(Reply STOP to opt out permanently)
407,861	It's not stupid. You should know what you're talking about when your advocating for restricting someones rights.	It is stupid. I do know what I'm talking about when advocting for public safety. Vernacular can change and also doesn't always have to follow the letter of the dictionary to have valid meaning. To strictly stick with the dictionary meaning of a word, simply for the sake of argument, makes you a fool.
407,862	Why is Ulysses attributed to Ireland and not Greece? Isn't Ulysses a Greek epic?	[Ulysses] is a 20th century novel by Irish author James Joyce. The Greek work is Homer's Odyssey, about the hero Odysseus, whose Latin name was Ulysses.
407,863	Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh. Loving it, dude doesn't sugarcoat things.	I just read Skagboys, the recently released prequel - another fantastic read! Also look out for the sequel, Porno!
407,864	$10 USBcondom - Shit that MORONS buy, because they are too ignorant to check EBAY first! * $2.86 for 1 at. * $8.74 for 4 at (4 of these for less than 1 USBcondom) Even cheaper is get any USB cable that you aren't using, cut in half, strip the wires, solder the wires on a perf board, solder a few resistors on the perf board for about $0.03, done. There you go....an adapter for pennies.	Alternatives on Amazon: [This] is pretty much exactly what the USB condom is, only it actually has a cover on it, so it won't break super easily. It claims to charge faster as well. Made by PortaPow. Since the focus is phones anyway, here's a [power only microusb cable.] In fact, there's a few good device specific ones on [PortaPow's store.] Bulkier, but cool. A [USB 3.0 HUB] that has two dedicated "power only" ports. This also addresses /u/bachmac not wanting to use paypal. (I entirely agree, I hate paypal.)
407,865	Macs are fantastic programming machines, but those keyboards are not great for non-Americans. I'd look up all the symbols and special characters you normally type and see how complicated they are before pulling the trigger on one.	Yeah I really wanted a unix system to code (I really don't like linux on desktop/laptop machines), and iOS development is probably in my future, but unfortunately the absence of brackets and a few other symbols is a real deal breaker for me. I guess I'll have to put together a hackintosh some time.
407,866	Nope. But you have to believe everything is a conspiracy, don’t you?	So why the down vote train then? I understand both sides of the argument, but up voting the half assed ad hominem written one that uses ableist rhetoric... seems, well. Why not write, or up vote someone else who is supporting your argument, who words it better and doesn't resort to slurs?
407,867	Really? Cant see it. As long as he's stoned out of his box, dude seems soooo chilled. I imagine 2-pac was a pain in the arse though.	Tupac wanted to act, when Snoop Dogg is offered a role its usually to play himself, and it most cases it's funny for him to be getting dicked because it's snoop nobody dicks snoop. I've seen outtakes where the director will want him to reshoot a scene or something similar and he just blatantly refuses.
407,868	Of course attitudes have changed... * Now if a guy is in the park with his kid he gets looked at suspicously. * Now if a parent (usually a guy) records his own kid doing sports, parents freak out. * In the 1970s and 80s being naked wasn't seen as shameful as it is now. For example a topless woman at a music festival now = weird looks vs woodstock.	>For example a topless woman at a music festival now = weird looks vs woodstock. 100% of the times when I've been to festivals people don't care at all about breasts. My friends all think it's cool that she's comfortable sharing, and it shows how progressive times have become. America has a modesty problem. We could learn from Europe.
407,869	Did we watch the same movie? Lex was anything but insecure. And a lot of his 'man-childness' was an act. That's one thing I absolutely loved about this iteration of Lex - he adapts to the people around him, changes his personality and mannerisms to get what and where he wants. He was also the guy who pulled all the strings - the plan was extremely convoluted, but hey.. he's still the mastermind behind it.	I don't know about it being an act, even when no one else is around and he's talking to holly hunter he acts like a kid. And his plan is foolish. I think he was taking inspiration from Gene Hackman Lex which is a mistake.
407,870	Small college town here. Our only non-sucky record store closed down a couple years ago. To expand: non-sucky == not WalMart/FYE	Small college town here too. We've NEVER had a non-sucky record store. Hell, even FYE closed down a couple months back, and Walmart is looking like they're phasing out their cd section. We pretty much don't have ANY record stores within 45 minutes to an hour driving distance, nevermind good ones. the closest decent independent record store is at least 2 hours driving distance away.
407,871	Well, Vlad also broke down too but he just wasn't in the movie.	Yeah, instead we got some random fat kid named Bernard, which I'm assuming is an homage to the kid Ender was supposed to kill in the bully fight before he gets recruited.
407,872	Why should I have to but useless merch and Pay $16 for a album of which oly 3 dollar go to the band...and to shout makes your argument not any better...	If a band makes a recordlabel money, the recordlabel will invest more in the band.
407,873	Are you implying that people go to the full article more on eg Facebook than they do on reddit?	I think he was more implying that people in general only read the headline
407,874	you're both right and you're both wrong. Strictly speaking, web 2.0 refers to the crowd sourced web. But at the same time the term was coined and at it's height of discussion the trend in design was to have everything glossy, so web 2.0 and glossy design are closely associated.	whats the difference between what you said and what i said? (i honestly can't tell)
407,875	You do know even if the author says it's about one thing that's not set in stone right? Once the work is out there it's free to interpretation and can be contested regardless of the author's intent so yes he can contest it. Also the other poster is right, you do come off as quite an asshole	Well, everyone can create their own interpretations, which is great, but imagine you made a 5 minute story in your head, told it, and someone told you that their idea of your story is the real one, you could understandably take offense to that. You can interpret anything any way, but that doesn't lend credence to your interpretation.
407,876	It is too bad they did not give a list of brand names that use Hangzhou Xiongmai Technology components. I guess that the advice is the same regardless: change your effin password.	According to Krebs, these have ssh and telnet passwords that can't be changed.
407,877	The movie is ok. That's it. It's just safe and oozing Disney. - If you hate JJ Abrams movies, you will hate this one. Strong beginnings, weak endings. - Too much humor. - Liked the customes, designs and sets. - Didn't like the storyline or the directing which is very weak. But that's the risk if you are risking the old characters back. - The old characters were played really good btw, totally not cringeworthy and typically as they would react in that world. - The score of the Phantom Menace is far better then the force awakens. Overall 6/10. It's fun, but I've seen better movies this year.	> Too much humor. The biggest issue I have with Marvel's movies, I was hoping it wouldn't bleed over to Star Wars but I guess it has... I wasn't hyped for the movie to begin with but was planing on seeing it up until I read your comment.
407,878	I use LibraryThing to organize my books and keep track of what I read. I also keep separate reading lists locally, just in case (I have been tracking since the early noughties, and I would hate to lose everything). My to-be-reads go into my bullet journal, where I have separate pages for books of possible interest and books I am planning to check out from the library. On the possibility page I use different symbols for "acquire this", "maybe some time, but not now", "acquired", and "moved to library page".	Have you used Goodreads? How would you compare it to LibraryThing?
407,879	At the cost of thousands of jobs. Just because one can do something doesn't mean one Should.	How do you know that there will be a job loss. Do you have a way of predicting the amount of job creation due to side industries?
407,880	Hmmm...never read Insomnia. Perhaps I'll start reading it, because I'm not really reading anything at the moment. Started American Gods. Guess I should finish that.	> Started American Gods. Guess I should finish that. YES. You should.
407,881	I currently have a Oneplus One and I feel like upgrading in the near future. I really got hooked to the big screen and I would not give it up anymore. Which one do you think is the best?	Have a look at the UMI Rome, dual sim, etc, see
407,882	I can cherry pick one line from any artist to make them look bad. Also, you neglected the context. He was talking about a big chicken and lambasting the huge egos present in rap culture.	Did you completely miss the second line or something? I was joking. Look before you leap dude.
407,883	In order to definitively prove causation then yes, they do need to do a double blind randomised trial.	Well, no one ever claims to definitively prove causation - even experiments. There are so many threats to internal validity, even to a randomized experiment. A randomized experiment does not require double-blind assignment. My point is that there are many scientifically and statistically acceptable ways to conduct research which do not require experiments (and this study meets those standards). Those methodologies do not prove anything definitively of course (hell, even hard sciences have a hard time definitively proving anything), but multiple studies can triangulate the results without ever conducting an experiment.
407,884	I agree they’re doing awesome! But just imagine the creations that would come about from bridging together the creativity and vision that Musk embodies with the full support and capabilities that Ford already has in place. As consumers, we wouldn’t have to wait decades for an affordable/reliable fully electric vehicle. I myself can not wait for the 2016 P85D to reach my price range (+- $40k) so I can buy one. They’re getting close at $65k. Unfortunately, with the price of the 2018 P100D at $174k brand new is a bit out of my price range, I would much rather buy a house and keep my gas guzzling F150 eco boost, than purchase an asset that is guaranteed to depreciate.	Nobody wants or needs Musk's creativity or vision. They just want him to STFU and build the cars he promised.
407,885	What the actual fuck is that thing at the end?!	I'm pretty sure it was the Clumps 2: Electric Buggaloo.
407,886	First time they played it the mosh turned ugly and one or more people died. The song serves it's purpose, it makes you want to break things.	Wow. That's fucking tragic. Imagine dying at a Limp Bizkit gig.
407,887	No. It has been claimed it can be done by very credible critics. Until someone actually does it and goes public, it will be brushed under the rug as a conspiracy theory.	That's actually pretty valid, this is america. You think testimonies by experts who have spent decades studying the subject matter can actually reach mainstream acceptance? Dude we can't even get evolution above 50% acceptance. The real problem however is the doing it in a visible manner without getting caught. IE getting into the polling place, getting to the machine etc.... When you are doing it the ways we suspect it is being done, nobody double checks, if you hack it in a way that's meant to be visible... how do you handle the name on the registration or shipping or whatever lists that could arise.
407,888	They didn't specify that it was only ISP email accounts, they're implying that the ISPs are intercepting SMTP connections and stripping out the STARTTLS header on the fly. STARTTLS is sent as plain text to trigger secure communication with the SMTP server. What we really need is for major SMTP servers to stop supporting plain text communication, then this MITM attack will become irrelevant.	Requiring encryption would be great but I'm wondering why email clients are still defaulting to port 25.
407,889	That website gave me a popup ad from the editors saying 'Defunding Amnesty is Defending America' What the fuck	I saw this as well. I almost immediately noped out of the site.
407,890	Okay DJI share this knowledge with Lily and I will be a happy person.	The only problem with the Lilly is the camera. No gimble support, and (as far as I know) unproven camera quality.
407,891	Quite true, but I firmly believe the industry brought this on itself.	Oh it did. I'm not saying this was a good decision that I agree with. Just that if we're going to be ridiculous and label this as "anti-user" - like we're all entitled to have access to the service - that we might as well also remind ourselves that ad-block has a negative affect on businesses, it isn't like Ad-Block is harmless.
407,892	I'm 4 books away from reading my goal of 50 books this year, so it's time to pull out the novellas	Pulling out short books or novellas is a good idea... and when I find myself in this kinda situations, I simply pickup some audiobooks. Works for me! Do give it a try if it appeals to you.
407,893	Love him in everything, but my single favorite DDL film (maybe not a stand-out performance) is in Scorsese's wildly underrated The Age Of Innocence, which the director claims is his most violent film (it's a love story, and no one actually dies on screen)	he must have said that before he did the departed because people get dead quick in that one
407,894	You are way off in Hamilton's population & Tim's count. Add 100k people and 70 Tim Hortons. You need to get out more.	You pretty damn way off yourself. The population is 520k... Don't get out much as well eh?
407,895	in all fairness, this is a guy whos outed HIMSELF on the internet as much as he could. What did he think was gonna happen when he put his name on TDKR? He's had people call him fraud before..thats why his wiki page was taken down.	What's the point of "outing" him again on here? The guy obviously has a mental disorder of some kind. Does he really need 1000's of Redditors trying to find out every aspect of his life after this just for laughs?
407,896	Damn... First true crypt now apple... I guess privacy instantly means that you're doing something bad. The government must know everything you do. For your safety, of course.	They've just let the intelligence apparatus go unchecked. Anything that is unscrupulous and unbounded will grow like a cancer. It will always corrupt completely until you rein it in. No one has had the political will to deal with these scumbags since Carter. So, now you have a hole in the country where you throw money and your personal information for a massive net loss in happiness and actual real national wealth.
407,897	Are they gonna have to make the projection screen wider or sumptin?	I assume they'll just hang up some bed sheets on both sides of the screen. Should be fine.
407,898	May be Cat People, with Natasha Kinski, Malcolm McDowell? Only movie that came to mind when you described the scene. May be other movies with similar scenes of course. Came out in early 80' IIRC.	Hmm, I'll check it out. I don't know why, but Malcolm McDowell triggered some sort of recollection. Thanks!
407,899	This is what i was going to recommend. It's a page-turner from start to finish, something I had rarely experienced since Harry Potter. It is considered YA but the atmosphere is really gritty and even gory, and I felt it appealed to a more mature audience in that way. Definitely a lot of horror elements. Many cherished characters die horrifically. Agreeing the movie is not even worth watching, though. If you've read the books it was an insult, and I usually don't feel that way about even some of the worst book-to-movie adaptations.	Now that I'm thinking about it, it was a lot darker than I remembered at first especially with character deaths as you mentioned. Yeah same, I usually try and see movie adaptations as their own thing and see the good in them but that was just...bad.

407,800

Yeah it's pretty much always at the top of every "Which famous book do you think is rubbish?" thread on reddit. I would probably put it down to being mandatory reading for American schoolchildren.

I thought it was banned for the most part? I certainly never read it in school.

407,801

It would be quicker to revoke control than to go to the back and unplug the ethernet.

What, you mean normal people don't just have a set of killswitches for things like power and internet?

407,802

mining bitcoin with a spare GPU or any consumer hardware is futile in the world today especially if you are paying for electricity. You might want to look into some lesser known crypto currencies. If you are going to leave your machine on anyway I can see doing crypto or even projects like Boinc.

I see what you're saying but would it be possible to have to gpus like that without sli?

407,803

ugh, I work in corporate IT and I once had an engineer call me complaining that his VPN doesn't work very well...*on airplanes.* He expected to be able to work absolutely normally mid-flight because he'd paid for in-flight WiFi. It was really, really hard to get through that call without using the phrase "inflight WiFi is garbage and you're an idiot for buying it." He kept insisting something was wrong with the VPN and therefore it should be our responsibility to fix it.

I wouldn't hold it against him. It isn't marketed as piece-of-shit Internet access, so I think it was reasonable for a non-technical... Oh. You said engineer. I retract my defense.

407,804

> and very basic electronic/electromechanical knowledge. What portion of the population has those skills? What portion of the population is able to buy a drone?

> What portion of the population has those skills? I mean, its as easy as using google, honestly... >What portion of the population is able to buy a drone? I think you're vastly overestimating the destructive power such a lightweight device is capable of.

407,805

Can we take a second to appreciate that the header image shows an OSX shell emulator that's reading a Windows header file? That they chose to read the only major non-POSIX system's source? EDIT: On a serious note, this was a compellingly-written and cool article.

Yeah, it's crazy how similar the narrative of these events is like fiction. Sure, most hacking stuff is nothing like what's shown on tv or in the movies, but in this case it almost sounds like the plot of a film.

407,806

I had a few problems in the past with delivery men just leaving the package in front of my home so I hope these trucks will not do that :)

These trucks will just drive through your front wall and drop the parcel off directly in your living room.

407,807

for indie-folk try neutral milk hotel, the front bottoms, andrew jackson jihad, and the taxpayers.

especially the front bottoms (amazing), neutral milk hotel is very lofi an jarring if you dont pick the right songs.

407,808

No one told me it was going to be a sad ending. I bawled on a full city bus at the end of that shit.

I read Of Mice and Men on an airplane. Middle seat, between two strangers. Just sitting there, silently, tears streaming down my face.

407,809

Nolan has revolutionized the comic book film and has shown the new heights that it can reach. I cant wait to see what comes next out of Nolan's imagination.

Considering he took a bunch of characters and didn't pull it off as smoothly as transitioning several movies into the Avengers, Joss Whedon made comic book movies bigger. All Nolan did was add "realness" and take away nipples.

407,810

Wasn't scary. Good atmosphere and at least one good scare I liked, but I generally found it to be quite predictable

Exactly what I thought! She made it seem like I would be terrified, and when I watched it I was like meh

407,811

I totally missed that Dean was black. I was picturing someone like Cedric, tall and rugby-ish, tousled blond hair and blue eyes. Then I saw the movies and was really confused when Ginny started dating this random black kid. Went back and read the books again, and realized my mistake. To be fair, Rowling describes him as "dark" like once, which I just took to mean "slightly mysterious".

Similarly I'm still confused as to whether Michael is supposed to be black or not. Hermione describes him as "the dark one" and similar language is used to describe Dean so???

407,812

Yeah... I'd love to read some more of this guy's summaries of things. "Oh, Hitler? Yeah he was this Austrian guy, led the Nazi party, he was elected Chancellor of Germany in 1933, one thing led to another and he committed suicide in a bunker in Berlin."

The Brian Regan bit was Adolph Hitler was rejected from art school, one thing led to another, and the United States dropped two atomic bombs on the sovereign nation of Japan.

407,813

Of course? Audrey Niffenegger has only published one novel. It was a damn fine one, but still ...

Excuse my ignorance. My collection of books isn’t that large so I suppose you could say she is my favourite by default. I haven’t read any other novels quite as gripping as hers yet.

407,814

Here guys I'll translate this for you. >I haven't actually listened to Kanye's music but I heard about him on reddit so I actively carry my bias around with me and spread it when appropriate, which to me means always. there you go

Or, it could be, that there are people in the world who think his shit is painful to listen to. I haven't figured out what all the hype about Beyonce is either.

407,815

Google Fiber is 1Gbps down and 1Gbps up. I wonder what Comcast's upload speed is? Probably south of 100Mbps.

Which is a shade better than my 100d/10u connection. I'll take 100 up...

407,816

It's a weird album. It has it's moments of genius, but it's pretty incoherent and wandering most of the time. Close to the Edge, thought it's a 20 minute song, has a musical theme that it follows throughout, and comes back to it.

I've listened to that album so many times. After hearing it enough, you start to understand what's happening a bit more, and you can hear the themes cropping up in very ingenious ways. They actually even use a theme from Close To The Edge in one of the last two songs, I think.

407,817

I knew someone would catch me on a technicality. It wouldn't be reddit otherwise.

Just stand on the "from" side, you'll be cooler.

407,818

That would make Annie Hall an "urban" movie, too. "Urban" is just code for "black people in the city," though. "Juice" certainly fits, but "Blade" doesn't.

Even then, "Urban" is now code for just "black people" There could be black people in rural Birmingham Alabama and somebody could call it "urban"

407,819

Came here to say this. That soundtrack is amazing. I listen to it all the time, especially when I'm studying or doing HW.

Same here! If you'd like, check out the Tron Legacy; reconfigured version; Disney contracted a TON of artists to remix the tracks; Avicci, M83, Teddybears, Glitch Mob! :D It's just as amazing as the original album.

407,820

Well hello there, I'm a hardware test engineer at HGST. The reason why our drives are so reliable is because we beat the living piss out of our drives. We're also willing to wait on releasing products to ensure they're actually ready for the market. The legacy of DeathStar is forever burned into this organization. Never again...

I have been refurb'ing laptops/PC's on the side for years, love me some HGST drives. Dollar for dollar they are faster and more reliable than anything else. You guys hiring?

407,821

Except... *The Interview* was available on Google Play, YouTube, Xbox Video, and that website. I can't speak to the others, but Google Play used my gmail account, with the payment methods setup already, and played on my phone without a hassle. You have no excuse.

Spoken like someone that lives in the US. I also live in US and was excited to hear about digital viewing. But fuck Sony for thinking you can put national walls on the Internet. I don't have much time for films so I'll likely wait til it shows up on a service I pay for like HBO go, or Netflix or any of the other movie channels I pay for.

407,822

Idk I preferred mother lover over dick in a box.

bro DIAB is the greatest christmas song of all time i dont know what you're on

407,823

You mean like minorities in North Korea, I guess, where the majority reveres the leader and reports dissenters?

Not reports and not like North Korea...as in if you believe in something which many people don't approve or like you can't expect people to be completely fine with it...if you are apart of a minority you have to be able to accept criticism for who you are...you're a minority for a reason

407,824

I can only think of the movie "Green Room" when hear this song now. Great song, and a brutal movie.

I saw that movie without reading anything about it, no trailers, nothing. But when they got to *the* place and they realized where they where I just *knew* they where going to play that song. Awesome movie.

407,825

Exactly. Be glad you got paid at all and that wasn't 1 million illegal downloads. Maybe because I suck the corporate teet with my hourly job but I WISH I was lucky enough to turn my hobby into 1 million hears. paid or not. TLDR whole bunch of people heard your music for FREE and you got paid. And your complaining about it.

They didn't necessarily hear it for free, Pandora is also a subscription service. Also Pandora did get paid in part for their popular song via advertisers. The question is how much.

407,826

[Midnight Life] Kanye West's "Good Life" and M83's "Midnight City"

cant believe I had to go this far down to find something by White Panda

407,827

One of the reasons Reddit blew up was because Digg redesigned their website and everyone left

that was me. I used digg back in the day when it was huge. fark was declining (imo) and digg was awesome. then they redesigned and mass exodus ensued. most of us ended up in reddit ... where you can sign out any time you like, but you can never leave.

407,828

Why/how do you think it influenced those other films?

I saw a horror documentary that said it's considered the first slasher movie or spawned the slasher genre. Something to that effect.

407,829

Wouldn't capacitors not really be able to hold power that long? What kind of "storage capacity" are we talking about here? Also, wouldn't this mean that even while you are not using your car, you'd leak power? This seems to me, someone that knows very little about electricity and how it works, that this would only be something really viable if there was a sort of infrastructure present to easily charge cars fairly frequently. Is that right? What kind of performance could we hope to get out of this technology?

FTA they're talking about a 1.7x increase in surface area over similar carbon-based supercaps (I'm assuming a similar volume) with early materials, then speculating at near-battery levels of energy density with more mature manufacturing. Supercaps actually reaching energy densities of batteries has been a dream for some time.

407,830

Care to list of some amazing animated movies that work for both kids and adults? The 4 you listed don't make me grown when my kids suggest watching them for the 800th time. Frozen was great the first 5 times, but it's starting to get to me.

I think Frozen is one of the most rewatchable movies I've ever seen.

407,831

Man, I hate titles like this. It will shock you! You didn't know about this! 5 things that will blow your mind!

Sorry, took it from the article. I'll try to make them less annoying in the future.

407,832

But the book isn't just about a kid in Afghanistan. It deals with morality and choices as well. I don't want to post any spoilers, but he has a complicated friendship and he also makes many choices that have a drastic effect on others and change the outcomes of their lives.

I feel like my comment has already been blown a bit out of proportion; I know it isn't just about a kid in Afghanistan I only meant that it has been particularly focused on because of the last decade and a half. There are many book which deal with morality and choices and many of them are good literature; but Afghanistan is something which America's public memory will push to the side and with it anything which tries to remember or rationalize it. I just don't see something which relates directly to it becoming a classic because it identifies so closely with something many in the coming decades will try to forget.

407,833

Nothing Kanya has ever done is epic. Nothing any musical performer has done been epic. Do you even know what "epic" means? Jesus fucking christ, I can't take this anymore. Reddit is now banned from using that word.

4. of unusually great size or extent. this speech's scope is unusually great scope/extent, especially compared to what most people speak on nowadays. u fail!!!!

407,834

Which is funny because modern economics relies on science and technology. And yet there is a large branch of the party that takes it's cosmology, biology, and psychology from the bronze age.

Well, there are plenty of people out there who are willing to use the internet, all of the various means to connect to it, and all of the technology that makes it work, to attempt to posit claims against things such that if their claims were true, we would not have the internet. This is mostly through indirect means that one not studied in the varies sciences would not know or be able to connect, but still. The cognitive dissonance is strong with the anti-science movements on both sides of the isle.

407,835

I hope they don't touch Valve. EA can go fuck themselves. PUBG I think? is owned by China's biggest game company which I think? is bigger than Microsoft. Doubt they can buy PUBG

Definitely not China and definitely not bigger than Microsoft. Glad you put question marks, but definitely searchable information...

407,836

If shit titles are professional journalism, boy did dailytech.com nail it!

Shitty title, but that's a pretty thorough tech article. Much better than we usually get to see round these parts.

407,837

Me? But I'm English and mid 40s. Is whopping no longer a groovy thing to say?

Don't worry, you're still a really hoopy frood who knows where his towel is.

407,838

I remember all the "Is 200x the year of the Linux desktop?" articles. I said it wasn't going to happen and all the people on Slashdot called me names. Here is a [really old copy pasta troll] from 2004 on Slashdot. But yeah people were so absolutely shure Windows was done for and Linux was going to replace it on the desktop in some circles that anyone who couldn't see that was either 1) a complete idiot or 2) a paid shill for M$

What’s it like to be so right for so long without anyone hiring an advertising agency to proclaim your level of correctness across all channels of communication for all to bask in your eternal glory?

407,839

You bastard! I thought you meant that it is so bad that it causes you physical pain. I seriously could not understand how you could say that. Of course, that is not the case. I am relieved. I've only read *Dance Dance Dance*, though, so there's plenty more to read. Sometimes the books you pick up on a whim are those that stay with you the longest.

I second this, I was ready to come here and stomp on the ops opinions until his inside hurt as well. I refuse to hear anyone dissing Murakami!! But as he was not, I must say Kafka on the shore was my favourite so far though I am still reading his works.

407,840

Top 4: 1. Narrow. 2. Trans. 3. Plans. 4. Codes.

Narrow starts off so well, i can't really say a bad thing about the first half of that album.

407,841

The album I take it? Not sure if I agree with that but the title track is up there with any of their output, thats for sure.

Yeah the album. There's not a weak track on it.

407,842

Please I must see more interviews with Tarantino. Can anyone post links to some that are quality content?

[Frost over the World (8:58)] He talks about retiring, making a James Bond film (Casino Royale with Pierce Brosnan), making a children's film/western/rom-com, his favourite movie, how many films he's seen, his approach to writing/directing, and the digital and 3D eras.

407,843

Blood Mountain is definitely in the same league as Crack the Skye, imho. Consistent awesomeness from the moment you press play until it's over and you press play once again.

Agreed. CtS is the masterpiece, but Blood Mountain is just fucking awesome. But I like every album of theirs.

407,844

I don't. If there's one thing the Nolan Batman movies lacked, it was a certain "Joie de Vivre" which is absolutely necessary for Star Wars.

Yeah you're probably right. Star Wars isn't supposed to dark and twisty. I still think his take would be pretty cool, albeit inappropriate for the franchise.

407,845

I've been listening to these guys for a while now, but just now really started listening to Colors. I think I've listen to at least one song a day off the album for the past 3 months.

When you've listened to one song, how can you not listen to the rest of the album??

407,846

My evidence is that: * The video quality looks like it has been made grainy on purpose, as though noise has been added to the footage. * It just seems unlikely that Korea would develop something so expensive that seems to have no clear value or purpose, outside of being really exciting to nerds.

No clear value or purpose!?! - construction. - space exploration/repair. - search and rescue. - firefighting. - manufacturing. - exploration. - farming. - military. - police. You're nuts.

407,847

Yes! When I was a kid, my parents would always make me "promise" that I wouldn't read a new book that I begged for, all in one night. Of course I did, because I lack reading self-control...then I would have to parade around for a few days pretending that I was still reading it.

What kind of parent asks that? I would be proud of a child that can become so engrossed in a book like that.

407,848

I'm not sure what you mean, but John Wick is cool.

It's not out yet - The only for him to own it is to have pirated it.

407,849

Oh man. I read Trainspotting back in high school. It gets fucking rough.

Just finished the book. It does get really fucked up... Very enjoyable read though.

407,850

Books aren't dangerous, knowledge in books should never be restricted imo

What if it was directions on how to cook meth?

407,851

If they change it I don't mind - she was created in the 90s for a kids audience.

Hmm... I still think I'd prefer Joker's mind games over physically torturing her.

407,852

I mean, I wasn't there, but my relatives who were there, and we're all super into less than wholesome street meetups agree that it was. Take the 305 for example, opening up your exhaust system and valvetrain easily launch you to 300 crank, a 50%increas over stock if you had any vague aggression in the Cam at all. As you went more and more aggressive power goes up. Not as much 80s but the 5.0 in the foxbody was stupid easy to bump from its stock numbers. Cam and exhaust could easily put a lot of those engines 50% above where they were, which leaves strong numbers for the time frame, considering the modular through the 2000s was low 300s

I'll tell you how I know it wasn't easy. I have no clue about anything you just said. You act like that's common knowledge. I used to sell cars for a living and I don't know what the fuck a cam even is.

407,853

I will il first read fountain head then tale of two cities then catch 22 and then il try to get to the rest of the comedy!

It won't work. I actually read Inferno in November, began Purgatorio in January & I was in Heaven in March, all blossoming around. Fucking physical experience. It was like being underwater & then reach surface & breath. Wow!

407,854

Having rewatched Willow recently, great is not how I would describe it. I didn't remember the brownies being so damn annoying and cringe worthy as comic relief characters. Willow is fun, it's neat and stuff but too flawed to be great.

Yeah, definitely one of those things that's better when you think of from your past than revisiting it kinda like the Neverending Story. I wouldn't be pissed about a remake of either of those movies, just because they're both so hard for me to watch today.

407,855

Rift is an interesting choice for best phish albums. I'm going to go give it another listen.

I think it exhibits the most range and stays true to the idea of a concept album. They have an amazing body of work, but Rift really speaks...

407,856

Inb4 it becomes illegal to refuse to give law enforcement the password to your phone

It already is in the UK. The US can try to force it, but the fifth amendment kind of makes the attempt null since giving up the passcode would be a form of self incrimination.

407,857

The end of Serenity. Did not expect that. Put me on edge for the last ten minutes of the film. I remember the entire audience letting out a collective gasp when [Wash was impaled](/spoiler) and the theater was dead silent in shock for a good couple of minutes. Oh, and first time I saw Shawshank Redemption and [the warden yanked down the poster](/spoiler).

My 'didn't see that coming' moment in Serenity was when the Reavers appeared in the ion cloud. I don't feel bad, though, because Mal even said I wouldn't see it coming.

407,858

Day Break. Watch this. It's like groundhog day but hes a cop and was framed and he finds different clues each time he goes through a day of who and why he was framed.

This one, for me, is amongst the very best examples of this trope. A criminally underrated series.

407,859

Yep, I've seen this on several video pages now. Thankfully my ISP is one of only 4 "YouTube HD Verified" ISPs in North and South Carolina. Guess who's not one of them - Time Warner Cable and AT&T. [Proof.]

I've got an extremely wide variety of different ISPs to choose from in my location. [Just look at how many there are.]

407,860

When something happens that is unbelievable and wrong, it's common to hear the phrase "this is bullshit" uttered. To "call bullshit" on something, is to say that it is not to be trusted, it's fake, or nonsense. It doesn't work very well in other permutations - your example of "happiness" doesn't really work, but English profanity is a lot more versatile than most other words... [a relevant example]

It's not stupid. You should know what you're talking about when your advocating for restricting someones rights.

It is stupid. I do know what I'm talking about when advocting for public safety. Vernacular can change and also doesn't always have to follow the letter of the dictionary to have valid meaning. To strictly stick with the dictionary meaning of a word, simply for the sake of argument, makes you a fool.

Why is Ulysses attributed to Ireland and not Greece? Isn't Ulysses a Greek epic?

[Ulysses] is a 20th century novel by Irish author James Joyce. The Greek work is Homer's Odyssey, about the hero Odysseus, whose Latin name was Ulysses.

Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh. Loving it, dude doesn't sugarcoat things.

I just read Skagboys, the recently released prequel - another fantastic read! Also look out for the sequel, Porno!

$10 USBcondom - Shit that MORONS buy, because they are too ignorant to check EBAY first! * $2.86 for 1 at. * $8.74 for 4 at (4 of these for less than 1 USBcondom) Even cheaper is get any USB cable that you aren't using, cut in half, strip the wires, solder the wires on a perf board, solder a few resistors on the perf board for about $0.03, done. There you go....an adapter for pennies.

Alternatives on Amazon: [This] is pretty much exactly what the USB condom is, only it actually has a cover on it, so it won't break super easily. It claims to charge faster as well. Made by PortaPow. Since the focus is phones anyway, here's a [power only microusb cable.] In fact, there's a few good device specific ones on [PortaPow's store.] Bulkier, but cool. A [USB 3.0 HUB] that has two dedicated "power only" ports. This also addresses /u/bachmac not wanting to use paypal. (I entirely agree, I hate paypal.)

Macs are fantastic programming machines, but those keyboards are not great for non-Americans. I'd look up all the symbols and special characters you normally type and see how complicated they are before pulling the trigger on one.

Yeah I really wanted a unix system to code (I really don't like linux on desktop/laptop machines), and iOS development is probably in my future, but unfortunately the absence of brackets and a few other symbols is a real deal breaker for me. I guess I'll have to put together a hackintosh some time.

Nope. But you have to believe everything is a conspiracy, don’t you?

So why the down vote train then? I understand both sides of the argument, but up voting the half assed ad hominem written one that uses ableist rhetoric... seems, well. Why not write, or up vote someone else who is supporting your argument, who words it better and doesn't resort to slurs?

Really? Cant see it. As long as he's stoned out of his box, dude seems soooo chilled. I imagine 2-pac was a pain in the arse though.

Tupac wanted to act, when Snoop Dogg is offered a role its usually to play himself, and it most cases it's funny for him to be getting dicked because it's snoop nobody dicks snoop. I've seen outtakes where the director will want him to reshoot a scene or something similar and he just blatantly refuses.

Of course attitudes have changed... * Now if a guy is in the park with his kid he gets looked at suspicously. * Now if a parent (usually a guy) records his own kid doing sports, parents freak out. * In the 1970s and 80s being naked wasn't seen as shameful as it is now. For example a topless woman at a music festival now = weird looks vs woodstock.

>For example a topless woman at a music festival now = weird looks vs woodstock. 100% of the times when I've been to festivals people don't care at all about breasts. My friends all think it's cool that she's comfortable sharing, and it shows how progressive times have become. America has a modesty problem. We could learn from Europe.

Did we watch the same movie? Lex was anything but insecure. And a lot of his 'man-childness' was an act. That's one thing I absolutely loved about this iteration of Lex - he adapts to the people around him, changes his personality and mannerisms to get what and where he wants. He was also the guy who pulled *all* the strings - the plan was extremely convoluted, but hey.. he's still the mastermind behind it.

I don't know about it being an act, even when no one else is around and he's talking to holly hunter he acts like a kid. And his plan is foolish. I think he was taking inspiration from Gene Hackman Lex which is a mistake.

Small college town here. Our only non-sucky record store closed down a couple years ago. *To expand: non-sucky == not WalMart/FYE*

Small college town here too. We've NEVER had a non-sucky record store. Hell, even FYE closed down a couple months back, and Walmart is looking like they're phasing out their cd section. We pretty much don't have ANY record stores within 45 minutes to an hour driving distance, nevermind good ones. the closest decent independent record store is at least 2 hours driving distance away.

Well, Vlad also broke down too but he just wasn't in the movie.

Yeah, instead we got some random fat kid named Bernard, which I'm assuming is an homage to the kid Ender was supposed to kill in the bully fight before he gets recruited.

Why should I have to but useless merch and Pay $16 for a album of which oly 3 dollar go to the band...and to shout makes your argument not any better...

If a band makes a recordlabel money, the recordlabel will invest more in the band.

Are you implying that people go to the full article more on eg Facebook than they do on reddit?

I think he was more implying that people *in general* only read the headline

you're both right and you're both wrong. Strictly speaking, web 2.0 refers to the crowd sourced web. But at the same time the term was coined and at it's height of discussion the trend in design was to have everything glossy, so web 2.0 and glossy design are closely associated.

whats the difference between what you said and what i said? (i honestly can't tell)

You do know even if the author says it's about one thing that's not set in stone right? Once the work is out there it's free to interpretation and can be contested regardless of the author's intent so yes he can contest it. Also the other poster is right, you do come off as quite an asshole

Well, everyone can create their own interpretations, which is great, but imagine you made a 5 minute story in your head, told it, and someone told you that *their* idea of *your* story is the real one, you could understandably take offense to that. You can interpret anything any way, but that doesn't lend credence to your interpretation.

It is too bad they did not give a list of brand names that use Hangzhou Xiongmai Technology components. I guess that the advice is the same regardless: change your effin password.

According to Krebs, these have ssh and telnet passwords that can't be changed.

The movie is ok. That's it. It's just safe and oozing Disney. - If you hate JJ Abrams movies, you will hate this one. Strong beginnings, weak endings. - Too much humor. - Liked the customes, designs and sets. - Didn't like the storyline or the directing which is very weak. But that's the risk if you are risking the old characters back. - The old characters were played really good btw, totally not cringeworthy and typically as they would react in that world. - The score of the Phantom Menace is far better then the force awakens. Overall 6/10. It's fun, but I've seen better movies this year.

> Too much humor. The biggest issue I have with Marvel's movies, I was hoping it wouldn't bleed over to Star Wars but I guess it has... I wasn't hyped for the movie to begin with but was planing on seeing it up until I read your comment.

I use LibraryThing to organize my books and keep track of what I read. I also keep separate reading lists locally, just in case (I have been tracking since the early noughties, and I would hate to lose everything). My to-be-reads go into my bullet journal, where I have separate pages for books of possible interest and books I am planning to check out from the library. On the possibility page I use different symbols for "acquire this", "maybe some time, but not now", "acquired", and "moved to library page".

Have you used Goodreads? How would you compare it to LibraryThing?

At the cost of thousands of jobs. Just because one *can* do something doesn't mean one *Should*.

How do you know that there will be a job loss. Do you have a way of predicting the amount of job creation due to side industries?

Hmmm...never read Insomnia. Perhaps I'll start reading it, because I'm not really reading anything at the moment. Started American Gods. Guess I should finish that.

> Started American Gods. Guess I should finish that. YES. You should.

I currently have a Oneplus One and I feel like upgrading in the near future. I really got hooked to the big screen and I would not give it up anymore. Which one do you think is the best?

Have a look at the UMI Rome, dual sim, etc, see

I can cherry pick one line from any artist to make them look bad. Also, you neglected the context. He was talking about a big chicken and lambasting the huge egos present in rap culture.

Did you completely miss the second line or something? I was joking. Look before you leap dude.

In order to definitively *prove* causation then yes, they do need to do a double blind randomised trial.

Well, no one ever claims to definitively prove causation - even experiments. There are so many threats to internal validity, even to a randomized experiment. A randomized experiment does not require double-blind assignment. My point is that there are many scientifically and statistically acceptable ways to conduct research which do not require experiments (and this study meets those standards). Those methodologies do not prove anything definitively of course (hell, even hard sciences have a hard time definitively proving anything), but multiple studies can triangulate the results without ever conducting an experiment.

I agree they’re doing awesome! But just imagine the creations that would come about from bridging together the creativity and vision that Musk embodies with the full support and capabilities that Ford already has in place. As consumers, we wouldn’t have to wait decades for an affordable/reliable fully electric vehicle. I myself can not wait for the 2016 P85D to reach my price range (+- $40k) so I can buy one. They’re getting close at $65k. Unfortunately, with the price of the 2018 P100D at $174k brand new is a bit out of my price range, I would much rather buy a house and keep my gas guzzling F150 eco boost, than purchase an asset that is guaranteed to depreciate.

Nobody wants or needs Musk's creativity or vision. They just want him to STFU and build the cars he promised.

407,885

What the actual fuck is that thing at the end?!

I'm pretty sure it was the Clumps 2: Electric Buggaloo.

First time they played it the mosh turned ugly and one or more people died. The song serves it's purpose, it makes you want to break things.

Wow. That's fucking tragic. Imagine dying at a Limp Bizkit gig.

No. It has been claimed it can be done by very credible critics. Until someone actually does it and goes public, it will be brushed under the rug as a conspiracy theory.

That's actually pretty valid, this is america. You think testimonies by experts who have spent decades studying the subject matter can actually reach mainstream acceptance? Dude we can't even get evolution above 50% acceptance. The real problem however is the doing it in a visible manner without getting caught. IE getting into the polling place, getting to the machine etc.... When you are doing it the ways we suspect it is being done, nobody double checks, if you hack it in a way that's meant to be visible... how do you handle the name on the registration or shipping or whatever lists that could arise.

They didn't specify that it was only ISP email accounts, they're implying that the ISPs are intercepting SMTP connections and stripping out the STARTTLS header on the fly. STARTTLS is sent as plain text to trigger secure communication with the SMTP server. What we really need is for major SMTP servers to stop supporting plain text communication, then this MITM attack will become irrelevant.

Requiring encryption would be great but I'm wondering why email clients are still defaulting to port 25.

That website gave me a popup ad from the editors saying 'Defunding Amnesty is Defending America' What the fuck

I saw this as well. I almost immediately noped out of the site.

Okay DJI share this knowledge with Lily and I will be a happy person.

The only problem with the Lilly is the camera. No gimble support, and (as far as I know) unproven camera quality.

407,891

Quite true, but I firmly believe the industry brought this on itself.

Oh it did. I'm not saying this was a good decision that I agree with. Just that if we're going to be ridiculous and label this as "anti-user" - like we're all entitled to have access to the service - that we might as well also remind ourselves that ad-block has a negative affect on businesses, it isn't like Ad-Block is harmless.

I'm 4 books away from reading my goal of 50 books this year, so it's time to pull out the novellas

Pulling out short books or novellas is a good idea... and when I find myself in this kinda situations, I simply pickup some audiobooks. Works for me! Do give it a try if it appeals to you.

Love him in everything, but my single favorite DDL film (maybe not a stand-out performance) is in Scorsese's wildly underrated *The Age Of Innocence*, which the director claims is his most violent film (it's a love story, and no one actually dies on screen)

he must have said that before he did the departed because people get dead quick in that one

You are way off in Hamilton's population & Tim's count. Add 100k people and 70 Tim Hortons. You need to get out more.

You pretty damn way off yourself. The population is 520k... Don't get out much as well eh?

in all fairness, this is a guy whos outed HIMSELF on the internet as much as he could. What did he think was gonna happen when he put his name on TDKR? He's had people call him fraud before..thats why his wiki page was taken down.

What's the point of "outing" him again on here? The guy obviously has a mental disorder of some kind. Does he really need 1000's of Redditors trying to find out every aspect of his life after this just for laughs?

407,896

Damn... First true crypt now apple... I guess privacy instantly means that you're doing something bad. The government must know everything you do. For your safety, *of course*.

They've just let the intelligence apparatus go unchecked. Anything that is unscrupulous and unbounded will grow like a cancer. It will always corrupt completely until you rein it in. No one has had the political will to deal with these scumbags since Carter. So, now you have a hole in the country where you throw money and your personal information for a massive net loss in happiness and actual real national wealth.

407,897

Are they gonna have to make the projection screen wider or sumptin?

I assume they'll just hang up some bed sheets on both sides of the screen. Should be fine.

407,898

May be Cat People, with Natasha Kinski, Malcolm McDowell? Only movie that came to mind when you described the scene. May be other movies with similar scenes of course. Came out in early 80' IIRC.

Hmm, I'll check it out. I don't know why, but Malcolm McDowell triggered some sort of recollection. Thanks!

This is what i was going to recommend. It's a page-turner from start to finish, something I had rarely experienced since Harry Potter. It is considered YA but the atmosphere is really gritty and even gory, and I felt it appealed to a more mature audience in that way. Definitely a lot of horror elements. Many cherished characters die horrifically. Agreeing the movie is not even worth watching, though. If you've read the books it was an insult, and I usually don't feel that way about even some of the worst book-to-movie adaptations.

Now that I'm thinking about it, it was a lot darker than I remembered at first especially with character deaths as you mentioned. Yeah same, I usually try and see movie adaptations as their own thing and see the good in them but that was just...bad.
