Thanks! I got this: Mother Mother - Omen. Mother Mother - Let's fall in love. Mother Mother - The Sticks. Mother Mother - Business Man. Mother Mother - Happy. Mother Mother - Dread in My Heart. Mother Mother - Infinitesimal. Mother Mother - Bit By Bit. Mother Mother - Latter Days. Kanye West - Runaway. I have no idea how that happened...
|
Ha. Looks like you got halfway through The Sticks album (almost correctly in order, too) before Kanye pulled a Kanye.

> african-american. This added a lot of value to your comment... /r/thathappened
|
well the way she was saying it was like she was amenning a southern baptist preacher... you know that "mmmhmmm amen preach it brother!" type of comment so I thought the deffinition of the perpetrater (sp?) was pertinent to the description of my situation.

I was not expecting it to be so brutal considering it was written by the same guy who wrote Piranha 3D. Actually just found out he wrote The Hills Have Eyes remake too, so it is not so suprising.
|
The original Maniac was brutal...it involved Tom Savini's head being blasted off.

cos its better to burn out, than to fade away.

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE! And Wesley was one of a kind. :'(

I have seen that movie, and found it so freaky but in a good way, but didn't know it was based on a book. I may have to check that out.
|
If you enjoyed the movie you should totally read the book, it's extremely unique

Really excited that The Stand could be adapted again for a TV mini-series. It's a shame he can't appreciate Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. I understand why he doesn't like it and I probably would feel the same, but the film is a horror masterpiece.
|
You see I love horror movies and all but The Shining is probably one of my least favorites. IDK I thought Misery was way scarier.

And yet they've still committed crimes. And ironically if the government did the exact same thing it wouldn't be OK..
|
The difference is there's nobody to police the government. So keeping the government in check is higher priority than anything else really.

Use Signal. Get everyone around you to use it. Seriously. Facebook is a for-profit PRISM company that gets all of its money from ads (just like Google), would you seriously expect them to protect your privacy?
|
I prefer wire.com: * open source (at least the client), * servers located in Europe, * end-to-end-encryption (using OTR), * multi device, * clients for all major OSes, * web client, * image and video embedding, * encrypted group chat, * no phone number required for registration. * voice/video chat.

Thanks just checked out Tame Impala and they are awesome, i already love Queen of the stone age and Brian jonestown was ok as well. thanks for the recommendations
|
Yeah Brian Jonestown are kind of hit and miss with me depending on what album, also check out Slightly Stoopid and Atmosphere and definitely the Black Angels and possibly Dinosaur Jr as well.

I didn't know altruism was a hard concept. I think there's a fundamental difference in shelter food. And suffering. Sure it's annoying when somebody cant contribute right away but if i was capable of helping somebody by giving them food and shelter I would. I live by myself and I can barely afford anything because im in school so i cant. But by god if a friend would lose their home id let them my couch. Geez.
|
So become a doctor and tell me how much of your spare time after your 16hr shift you will be dedicating to patients that cant pay. Ill wait. Or just order those doctors to do more I guess right? You've got your life so straightened out, im sure you can be the one to order others to work harder, to give more, right? Or do you think your narcissism is acting up again?

He's a good character but i thought they made him look far too weak when fighting.
|
Don't forget he was injured during the final saber battle. And also, his training was not complete.

My laptop only has a HDMI port. Next month I want to give a Powerpoint presentation in a room that only has a VGA hookup. Can someone recommended a converter (and, preferably, send me an amazon link to purchase it)?
|
An alternative would be a USB to VGA adapter, such as this one:

If by awesome you meant absolutely awful, then I agree.
|
by awesome I meant that he is a really good vocal artists who has multiple range of talents from singing melodies to actually rapping. What is your reason for hating him, and why does he not deserve the number 1 spot? Where do you disagree with pitchfork.
|
408,313 |
Hmm good point! Maybe a better starting place would be something easy to read but really addictive... Like the Game of Thrones series
|
I don't know if GoT is what I'd consider easy. There is so much going on, so many things to remember and tie back. They're awesome books and not hard per sew, but definitely wouldn't say easy.

If twitter solved it's bot problem, the user base would dwindle and their stock would (further) plummet. "Bot problem? What problem!" - some twitter exec maybe.
|
In this case it would also mean it is much harder to "build a brand" using Twitter. That wouldn't just be about user numbers. It would impact the effectiveness of one of the primary uses of the platform.
|
408,315 |
You're assuming the data goes straight up and down. It's possible that it'll need to go quite sideways as well :).
|
Going sideways can actually reduce the latency even more. If I'm in Europe and want to reach a server in the USA and there's a satellite over the middle of the Atlantic (which both can see) the total distance is not much larger than through an undersea cable.

Haha! Now I can't get Ronald McDonald out my head. An honest, silly typo.

Old McDonald had a farm.. ee i ee i Oyyy

Its great that Europe will finally introduce cheaper roaming prices, we have been waiting for it for a few years, there is no justification for the high prices paid otherwise.
|
I think the technology did move faster than the politics this time. The people use in-app calls and send messages in apps. Almost nobody is using SMS abroad, apart from the very old people.

You being alive is an impossibility yet here you are. "Unlikely coincidences" are likely in reality.
|
Ehhh, you know that a coincidence can be so unlikely that it’s safe to assume it’s not a coincidence at all.

They should have stopped making new razor design in 1998 when Gillete released the Mach 3. Perfect design.
|
Every razor design since the old DE safety razors has led to worse shaves at higher prices. The only plus side is that they're easy enough to use that you shave faster with them and need less of a learning period.

>No one in the movie ever questions anything; which is what makes this movie so genius. Usually a satire will give you someone for the audience to agree with. Someone to reassure the viewer that what they are watching is not okay, but Verhoeven doesn't give us this. Yes! Can't upvote this enough. This is what makes it such a brilliant satire. No mitigating perspective, no horrible self-realization from any character; no easy outs!
|
{spoiler alert} Another interesting fact about the film is the test audience's response to Dizzy's death. The director wanted the girl (Carmen) who goes her own way, the one who let's Jonny go, fulfilling her dreams of becoming a pilot, they wanted her to live - just to show that equality is important, and that women can do that kind of thing. But the audience were PISSED. They wrote things like "you killed the wrong girl" and "that bitch should have died" etc. Verhoeven talks about it on the DVD commentary, he found it very interesting.

Find a young child who has never seen it. Show them the movie and watch their reaction. Then the prequels will all make sense.
|
Honestly, and this could be me misremembering, but I honestly remember not liking Phantom Menace as a little kid. Not sure why, it just didn't grip me and excite me somehow. On the other hand, I can't remember a time when I hadn't seen the original trilogy, and I always vaguely remember liking them.

"Microsoft has been silently installing Windows 10 for users who didn’t want it, blames a bug." What about users who DO want it? How do I get Microsoft to silently install W10 on my pc?
|
Really? Google. There's been ways to force update since the day before it was released.

That is done to make it clearer and to the point and to remove the redundant details. Why to describe image processing in the article when one can read about it in wikipedia? It was done to avoid making it obscure and filled with too much info bro. Hope you will understand.
|
Saying "Samsung adjusts power to TV receiver" would be much more layman-friendly and understandable. Why are you making these lame excuses for that bad writing?
|
408,325 |
I remember reading somewhere that the original director's cut (not the one on the DVD) was actually pretty great. Very dark and gritty, more like the comic. But it didn't play well with test audiences, who wanted more of a "superhero movie" (remember this was before Chris Nolan redefined that term). So the studios ordered re-shoots that would focus more on the romance between Daredevil and Elektra and other changes. EDIT: Grammar stuff
|
The directors' cut in the article you link to is the one available on dvd. I've seen it. it's good.

Whats up with the fetishization of succesful businessmen? Why would i take reading suggestions from an entrepeneur anymore than i'd, say, take legal advise from a fisherman?
|
You could probably get some good reading suggestions from a fisherman, though.

They've talked about this before, it's a branding issue. They don't want to be known as the porno payment gateway. They fear that getting that label might dissuade people from using their services. You can [see below] where the OP was suggested a patreon clone but rejected the idea because it was also used by the far right. Patreon is worried they will suffer because of these same reasons.
|
Which would be one thing if Patreon didn't explicitly promote itself as pro- adult content over the last two years.

Interesting. Not a word about Omidyar running his own journalism entity called First Look Media (primarily known for The Intercept, and for being [shit] Is CNN running a press release or did they seriously think this wasn't important information?
|
Why do you think it is relavent? The problems with First Look are independent of this. Shittily managing a company has little to no bearing on donating money to other firms.
|
408,329 |
They payed it back with interest before it was due. What's your problem with this particular company that you single it out and not all the other bail-outs that happened?
|
Plus, it should be in the department of energy's interests that a company like Tesla succeed.

Get over it you friggin boob. An orange Russian puppet is destroying what’s left of America. And THIS is what you let get you mad?

Thanks, all. I just signed up for an invite. It can't take off if no one shows interest. I'm on Path, too. But no one jumped on with me. I had high hopes for Diaspora. Again. Nothing. :(
|
They had open joining for about... oh three hours. Then their servers took a shit and they swapped it out for a "rolled out invite plan" setup. I've been signed up for an invite since about three hours after it went live. No invite yet. We'll see. They've got a lot of people to get sorted.

I thought it was pretty boring to be honest. I'm not saying it needs to be a bunch of non-stop action with a ton of explosions, but since the story itself was so flawed and uninteresting I just found myself annoyed most of the movie. There were only two mutants other than Wolverine in the movie, Viper (who isn't that interesting of a character) and the girl who can see people's deaths (really just serves as a plot device). There was a lot of sword fighting and not a lot of the mutant powers which I would expect from a X-men movie. The opening scene was pretty great, but after that everything was downhill.
|
I was bored as well. At times it almost felt like a weird sort of crime/drama story that they decided to make about Wolverine somewhere down the line. I still love how Jackman plays Wolverine, but I was underwhelmed with the actual story.

408,333 |
My favorite of theirs is "Symbolic," but to me, "The Sound Of Perseverance" is the one I always listen to, because it was Chuck not only getting better and better as a guitar player, but he went from a dude that just knew how to growl into a microphone into one of the most talented metal vocalists of all-time, despite battling cancer. Fucking incredible talent.
|
I love "Symbolic" the most too. I'm not sure I'd say that "Spiritual Healing" had better songs than "Leprosy" but I do agree with the notion that he progressed a hell of a lot vocally and musically throughout his career. Still waiting for the new Control Denied to be finished.
|
408,334 |
you don't ever want to explore one of the gerbillions of possibilities?
|
~~I dont want to become judgemental and so close minded like yo~~ If by "gerbillions of possibilities" you mean learning about numerous made up stories then no, I don't. You should really let go of such judgemental state of mind.. I could recommend a good book for you :D

I've noticed that when a thread about rap happens, people's language gets dumbed down significantly. Always makes me laugh.
|
What about his sentence was dumbed down? I notice when a thread about rap happens some people feel the need to act pretentious.

I just updated a friends laptop to 8.1 for them and it actually dumped shortcuts to new metro apps everywhere. Wasn't aware if it changed file associations back to normal desktop apps, though. If that's true it's a nice change. I had already done that for them so I wouldn't have noticed either way. Actually getting people to update to 8.1 is another issue. AFAIK it still isn't offered via the windows update mechanism. You still have to get it through the store. There are users who are frustrated by 8, but don't even know 8.1 is available.
|
> and it actually dumped shortcuts to new metro apps everywhere. It puts the App Store on the taskbar. Don't blow it out of proportion.

Whats the point? Currently I can get a 512GB microSD card smaller than the size of my thumb nail and I reckon most of that is packaging. Any smaller and we're not going to be able to pick the damned things up.
|
Smaller size usually means better performance. Also smaller size means more memory units on a single wafer, thus lower price per unit.

**Sword of Destiny, by Andrzej Sapkowski** I’ve only just started but I’m already enjoying it immensely. I’ve already read The Last Wish and wanted to read the second short story compilation before moving onto the main Witcher series. I may or may not move directly onto the series once I finish this one. On the one hand I don’t want to oversaturate myself with it, but on the other hand, getting sucked into the world for a couple of weeks wouldn’t be a bad thing...
|
I recently read The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny consecutively and found myself oversaturated, so I chose not to move on to the series yet. It was tough to spend an enormous amount of time with personalities like Geralt's, Yennefer's and Dandelion's, though when there's TOTAL chaos like the crisscrossing motives of everyone in the first story of Sword of Destiny, there's nothing better. I'm curious to learn how you feel about more Witcher after you finish SoD, because it sounds like you read TLW some time ago.

It's a Hawking like voice narrating the first half of the trailer talking about the human brain as a wonder of the universe as the camera travels throughout someone's mind, before the camera gets to the brain (which is tiny) and zooms out of the head and shows Derek Zoolander who says "If God exists, why did he make ugly people?". Then the title screen comes up and says 2oolander but Zoolander pronounces it wrong and so it changes to Zoolander II and Zoolander pronounced it wrong again then the Coming Soon screen appeared.
|
did you see the movie in IMAX? I saw the film in regular and didn't see that trailer

It's real easy to be a libertarian until you grow up and become part of the system.
|
Or understand that society is not made up entirely of rational actors.
|
408,341 |
Most people above the age of 12 understand that language and words are tools used to communicate thoughts and ideas to other people. And if small grammatical errors do literally nothing to obstruct your ability to grasp the thoughts and ideas that are being communicated to you, then being a pedantic asshat about them is not constructive to the conversation.
|
You seem mad, why are you so mad? Don't be so mad, it's bad to be that mad. Btw the only pedantic thing here was your reply. Put that good effort into something better, like using one of the most popular languages correctly!
|
408,342 |
I've yet to read a whole book aloud; thank you for this wonderful idea!

It slows down the pace by quite a bit, but it's worth it!

> Affleck is also a huge comic book fan i think he is the guy we deserve. Every fucking time an actor plays anything related to a comic book everybody believes the propaganda that they are a huge comic book fan... Some skepticism maybe? Just some...? Any at all?
|
I'm basing it off the fact that he was really good friends with Kevin Smith is his beyoned a comic book nerd.
|
408,344 |
Personally, I wouldn't care if all he did was miss the deadline. What I'm pissed about is the fact that he is putting the show ahead of the book, or at least letting it happen that way. The only hesitation I have in being pissed is I haven't been able to figure out how involved he is with the show. If someone else is in charge, then I am still fruitlessly frustrated, but if he has a hand in it, that's messed up. Can someone clear that up for me? Is he heavily involved in the show or no?
|
He's not heavily involved, but he is involved. He used to write episodes and he's always talked to the two show runners. If you look for interviews with him, you'll find that he often talks about things he had no say in (many design decisions for instance) and things he did have a say in (he's told the show people where the story is going to end up).

I'd liken it to Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy. MCU is an entire universe of characters, TDK just had Batman.

Damn it edit ate the word endeavour. Now it just reads big cinematic lol

It's fiction, mate, not historically accurate. The magnificent seven was not written to be a statistically representative sample of western gunmen/outlaws.
|
No shit, but they're obviously aiming for (recreating) a theme, it has the same setting, time period, clothing, customs and language as the old west, why would they exclude just another historical part of it?
|
408,348 |
Yes, but that's lightyears away from "instant shipping for anything you can buy online"
|
That's what OP was saying. When it's possible (or a lot closer to it) is when 3D printing will be as commonplace as microwaves.
|
408,349 |
Albarn aint done though, and his other works have been amazing. ps. i keep trying to post Rocket Juice and dr. dee but someone keeps down voting me.

Dr Dee is absolutely beautiful, Rocket Juice i'm yet undecided on.

The Martian. I think it captured perfectly the tenacity of the human spirit and how the human race can become so united towards one goal. Movie made me proud to be a human being... #occupymars
|
Completely agree. I went into this movie expecting an alright film(I'm usually disappointed in movies that have rave reviews). I was blown away. I imagine that if we did go to Mars, and something like this happened....the world would unite together, as it did in the film.
|
408,351 |
I agree, it *was* a joke. "Dude...it was a joke" is the same response that someone who keeps shouting "Freebird!" in between songs would give.
|
I have no idea what you're talking about. just....no. dont make this a thing dude.

Kind of depends on how much ypu want to spend and what quality you want. Sonos have independent speakers that can play spotify without anything but power and network. They are a bit expensive but you get a good system that works. You can link speakers/rooms that have sonos i your house and it'll sync and play the same stuff i all the speakers. You control the speakers from a phone or computer or really almost anything. Hope this helps. Other then that, a Samsung smart tv can also stream spotify. There are lota of things that can play spotify now, just look around a bit.
|
Thanks! We have a Samsung smart TV that we bought a couple of years ago. I actually hate it. It updates constantly, and the udpates take forever. It's just clunky and frustrating to use.
|
408,353 |
Well, don't get me wrong, I haven't finished it yet. It could be that this will all be relevant later. That's not really the feeling I'm getting so far, but I haven't read enough to be totally confident.
|
Where the oxygen is coming from does become very relevant. I enjoyed it though yeah I would rank the Martian higher but I rank the Martian pretty highly :)

Hah the Palladium. My first concert ever was there - Streetlight Manifesto, The Supervillains, The Wonder Years, and Dan Potthast.
|
I was there too haha, I had my chest to the barricade for the wonder years and after that I couldn't let anything touch that part of my chest for a week because the crowd was pressing in so hard. Fucking love that place.

408,355 |
i agree, i messaged the mods, see about getting it to the top.
|
Sory, we don't have the ability to move a comment to the top ! And if you want my opinion, it's a good thing cause it avoids lots of abuse !!
|
408,356 |
Karen Carpenter had the greatest voice. They were never "cool" but everyone secretly loved them. Also- sets from early '70s variety shows were terrible!
|
Agreed. She had one of the purest, simplest voices I ever heard. Eva Cassidy was another. They both died far too young.

Your phone runs iOS or Android and costs a fortune. Ubuntu and Mozilla OS have been trying to offer a desktop experience on that hardware for quite some time. They've also failed thus far. Now imagine a USB stick sized computer that runs WinX flawlessly. For a third or half of the cost of your smartphone. Still not interested?
|
Of course I'm interested. That doesn't mean you still don't already have a computer in your pocket, it's just maybe not the one you want.
|
408,358 |
Oh god I had to go back and double check. For a second your comment made me terrified that the shitty Sounds of Silence cover was on there.
|
Haha I'm pretty sure I would've necked myself if that was in the list. Worst cover ever.
|
408,359 |
By its own, you mean Mike Mignola's art style, right?
|
While he was one of the production designers and it was ultimately based on his look, it is also clearly and obviously distinct.

What do you think of Peter Elbows ideas of first voyaging out with your writing: getting lost in it and writing all your ideas, without editing. Then the voyage home is organizing and refining those ideas. This process seems to help me be more confidence about my writing. Even if I write something on the spot I'll share it. In many schools kids are taught not to write all their thoughts down and to edit and filter the ideas. What are your thoughts on this? What is your writing process? Is it similar to this? Thanks for the answer I'm a huge fan!!
|
I think they should put me in charge of teaching children how to write, that's what I think. The way that teachers are forced to teach writing (because of the kerfarked assessment system of standardized testing) is ridiculous because it's not how writing works in the real world. Makes. Me. Crazy! My YA novels are written in precisely the method you describe. My historical novels are more carefully outlined, but the outline is a result of getting lost in the ideas that are generated by my historical research. Having said that, I am a firm believe that each writer needs to figure out their own process.... and sometimes each book dictates the process it requires. Because, Art.

They were pop songs and did very well in the UK, no idea about America. How is that an awful decision?
|
Well, for starters, there are millions of people in the world who think that's what The Offspring sound like.
|
408,362 |
Are you serious? You really have a problem with The Tourist? That song is fucking INCREDIBLE. Lyrics are brilliant (almost hauntingly good) with an amazing climax at the end.
|
Well ok, it's not horrible as the thread asks for. I'm just saying if I had to kick a song out of OKC, I'd make it this song.

It's fine that it's more than 720p, it's the fact that it's *different* than 720p. Even the small difference makes changing images a nightmare when making applications. Do you really want to have to create an entirely new set of images just to support the iPhone 6 when every android in the world made in the last 3 years or so supports 720p or 1080p and when even the fricking iPhone 6 Plus supports 1080p? It makes the iPhone a very oddball device.
|
The 6 uses the same DPI as the 4/4S/5/5c/5s models. That's why it's the resolution it is. I'm surprised Apple went with 1080 on the 6+; I was sure they would go with a @3x setup, and allow people to run the UI in a @2x mode for jumbo-elements.

How do you explain the past 80 years of Hollywood racism then? What about the fact that Asians are the least represented group in Hollywood and often demonized? What about the fact that there are no Asians on the Oscar committee?
|
i believe Ang Lee is part of the academy, he won an oscar before, but you are right about the lack of asians in hollywod. and the most popular asian role in the past few years was mr.chow from the hangover which was very racist. Hollywood is going to change this tho and have to since China is going to be one of the biggest markets if not the biggest. and there are asians like Kevin Tsujihara who should take charge and lead the asian wave and start of by demanding that the leads for Akira and Ghost in the shell be asian since they are asian stories and he can do that since he runs WB.

Money? Nobody, probably. Generosity! Fame! The honor to be the savior of the world! That's the trick. Before we do anything for society we always ask: "who will pay for it?" I think, we've got to get rid of this way of thinking...
|
Generosity and fame don't produce fiber optic cables and routers, but I'm game. You dig the ditches, and get someone to generously donate the equipment. I'll hook it up when you're ready.

i'm going to have to go with pootie tang, 29% on RT, but written and directed by Louis CK. A lot of people just didn't get it, but I thought it was hilarious and awesome.
|
cant believe Ive never heard of this, I looked it up on IMDb. Not only written and directed by Louis CK, but it stars Chris Rock, JB Smoove, Wanda Sykes, Andy Richter, Kristen Bell, Conan O'Brien, David Cross, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Bob Costas

iPhone 5 battery dimensions: 82.3 x 31.3 x 3.9 mm. Motorola Razr battery dimensions: 49 x 34 x 5 mm. This means 10046 cubic milimetres for the iPhone and 8330 for the Motorola. Now, keep in mind that electronics have shrunk between the time the Motorola was made and the iPhone. But, even assuming the electronics take up the same amount of space, proportionally, the electronics take up more space in the Motorola than in the iPhone. So the iPhone has more room for battery cells. Therefore, it's not a 2:1 capacity increase with a 1.2:1 increase in volume. The increase in battery capacity is, most likely, almost directly proportional.
|
Given that and the 740mAh and 1400mAh figures: iPhone 5; 0.139 mAh/mm^3. Razr: 0.088 mAh/mm^3

If you listen to her then you are only proving her point. Do you not have confidence in your ability to discern quality in your own reading material ? As well, do you *want* mental stimulation ? Perhaps you do not want it every time you read something and that is fine as well.

This guy makes an excellent point. If you don't want anything intellectually stimulating, but would prefer something that you could have read with just as much comprehension when you were in middle school, then stick to scifi, fantasy, and romance novels.

It was the worst Terminator movie. Bale knew it too that's why he freaked out on the crew member. He could sense his career being tanked.
|
Bale actually ruined the film. They wanted him to be the Sam Worthington Character. Bale said, 'I'm only doing Terminator if I'm John Conner. So they reworked the script to include JC. Originally the JC role was Michael Ironsides role on the submarine. Only making an appearance at the end. Beefing up JC role, changed a bunch of aspects and the third act of the film got a big rework from one of the writes of the Batman films or something.

I'm British. I was also incredibly confused by the wording.
|
Yeah I didn't think it was but yours is the only... dialect? I suppose? Where I could imagine someone using it that way. Maybe Australian? (I'm Canadian) Still strange.

Obviously a body or drugs in the boot, but whatever. It looks intriguing.
|
Drugs. I feel like they gave a bit away in this trailer.

WiFi is on public open frequencies. It is completely legal to jam. WiFi is built around the idea that something else might be using the same frequencies and "jamming it". A noisy microwave oven will jam WiFi.
|
It is, however, illegal to "jam" other peoples wifi *purposefully* as this device does. For *your own network* use, it's fine.

The very end of the trailer had a very "Indiana Jones" moment. Cute.
|
Not to mention Troy. As soon as the crowd parted, Indy popped into my head, thinking "he's gonna take it down with a single swing", then when he said "anyone else?" it reminded me of when Achilles killed Boagrius and screamed "is the *no*one else?!"

How can you insult someone for being a homophobe and a polygamist in the same sentence? It seems to me that if you believe all love to be equal, polygamy shouldn't be frowned upon either. Seems quite hypocritical to me.
|
Um no. Monogamy (gay, straight, or other) is totally different from polygamy (gay, straight, or other). But good job perpetuating the idea that gay people are all polygamist pedophile heathens. Have some more Rush Limbaugh with a side of Fox News.

It won't. That's why proper forensic / evidential processes exist. Tools are used that are verified to not have the ability to tamper with source and those sources have a chain of custody that allows provenance and integrity to demonstrated and proven. Source: used to be in digital forensics, now more closely aligned to the digital archival side.
|
Chain of custody only matters with healthy Rule of Law.

*Avatar - The Last Airbender*. Just from the way he directs action and conveys specialization. He can compensate for the lack of gore with stunning visuals.
|
Bringing in some real choreographers would be a necessity and Evans could definitely deliver on that end.

Karin love all you're books , my favourite author by far :) my question for you is will we find more about Will Trents past in the next book ?
|
Thank you and YES. There's some things we find out in the next one that might surprise you. Let's keep in mind, too, that there's a lot Amanda knows about Will that he does not. So, lots more to tell...
|

I guess it might not be, just tried a magnet and it didn't stick. I have no idea what it could be lol.
|
I mean, it could be nonferrous. Silver, or silver over copper, or whatever. But it looks like gutta percha, an early type of rubber, to me. If you scratch an inconspicuous corner and its black throughout it's probably gutta percha. It was very popular for ornamental stuff in the mid to late 19c.

Im sure the hundreds of other working people behind the scenes supporting him who's financial status might be at stake are perfectly ok with it right? **ಠ** Every time an artist says its ok if you pirate their music, many of you guys use this to help you convince yourself that your not hurting anyone, or that your not **STILL FUCKING STEALING.** Yes the idea of music being free for everyone is awesome, but first you have to build the utopia where money doesn't mater before you get to do that. **THE LESS YOU PUT INTO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY THE LESS WILL COME OUT** Sincerely someone who sees the repercussion's of piracy.

the album doesnt drop till the 15th anyways, not like you can go out and buy it.

Russian Circles is my #1 right now and has been for a few years now. Dave Turncrantz is not from this planet.

I have seen them live twice and they are awesome, they even signed me a drumstick :3

The state. Either change the law or enforce it fully. Don't half ass the issue with customary traffic laws vs official traffic laws. The AI will follow the law exactly.
|
Probably what will happen is that there'll be laws specifying this clearer. Either the ability of going within the speed of other cars will matter, but this is a legal gray zone. A probably better solution will be to either. * Remove speed limits entirely in highways, let driverless cars be aware. Keep reasonable speed limits in different areas. * Make laws for self-driving cars that are more flexible (higher speed limits) and let the driving-laws remain the same.

If his school isn't a piece of shit greedy school he can get CC for free. My college was a piece of shit that way but my brother's wasn't... Pretty jelly of that. So he might not be on the hook for CC while as a student
|
Ah it's been so long I forgot there's a student version of Adobe cc although it's still paid but at least it's discounted

This series was some teeny bopper bull shit. I suffered through twilight and the hunger games was acceptable but this series was unreadable. publishing companies trying to make money off of pg-13 post apocalyptic bullshit

Love the username, one of my favorite Stephen King novels.

I got the Mermaid and Mrs Hancock (which is pretty similar to the book I am currently reading, The Mermaid by Christina Henry) and The Silence of the Girls! I skipped last month so this was nice to really want two books.
|
I got the Silence of the Girls this month too ^_^ I added some extra books in there too cuz I couldn't help myself. Though I usually do three books a month anyway so I guess I should just stop making the "couldn't help myself" excuse by now.

One of my favourite songs. Disappointed I'll never get to see them live
|
Aren't they still playing? Sad that I never get to see Layne, but saw them back in 2010 I think. William DuVall does a fantastic job. Staley is irreplaceable, but as far as replacements go, DuVall is better than one could hope for

If you want to have an actual discussion about this, why don't you post this on /r/jazz?
|
It's not like anyone on /r/music was talking about it anyway. Of course it got hype because of Flylo and Washington's work on TPAB, but I haven't seen it heralded by anyone.

IMAX isn't a gimmick when it actually expands the size of the screen and has incredible sound quality above a standard theater setup.
|
3D isn't a gimmick when it actually expands the depth of the scene and has incredible visual quality above a standard theater setup.

Ok sorry about that. It was meant to be positive in its message...as in...look what can happen when crap happens...I'm bad at articulating this! Cheers though. hopefully it didn't put you off too much to listen in for a short while.
|
That dude's an asshole. You need to get attention somehow right? The music is great. Downloaded almost immediately. Put some music up for sale and I'll buy.

Stop. Just stop. Pharmaceuticals have side effects, yes. That’s why they’re used in conjunction with physician monitoring and counseling. But it is statements and attitudes like this that cost **more** lives when people **don’t** seek help because they’ve read too many statements like yours. Antidepressants have problems sometimes, yes. So do lots of things. But if they keep someone **alive,** then they’re worth it. Period.
|
As I said, antidepressants save lives. Did you read what I wrote? It needs to be acknowledged. If you think the actual reported rates of increased suicidal ideation while taking antidepressants is accurate, you're being naive.

I don't know if this eases the trust issues... [but they seem to be listing Disk Utility] as the OSX encryption option, and I haven't been led to believe that this is insecure. Take that with a grain of salt given this chaos though.
|
That's nice if you want a fixed sized encrypted volume... Apple has supposedly taken the high road when it comes to encryption (iMessage is unreadable by anyone but you and the recipient for example), so at this point I would still trust OS X's built in full disk encryption.

It's such an incredible film. It's one of my favorites, but I cannot bring myself to watch it more than once every few years. It was the first time a movie *really* messed with my head. I was in middle school, and I just kept feeling so unnerved and confused the more Scottie got wrapped up in everything. By the end of it, I was so emotionally drained I was convinced it was the worst film I ever saw. It took a few weeks, but the more I thought about the movie, the more and more I appreciated it.
|
Many critics felt the same way about *Vertigo* when it was released. At the time, it was a box office flop and considered by many to be a failure, including Hitchcock himself and he became obsessed with never repeating that failure again. His follow-up film was *North By Northwest*, followed by *Psycho*, and then *The Birds*.

A Joss Whedon Portal movie sounds terrible. That would be the comedic equivalent of letting Michael Bay do Assassin's Creed or Splinter Cell - all subtlety would be gone.

Joss whedon knows how to pull subtlety when he has to.

And finally, Nu-Disco will take its rightful place all over the everywhere.
|
nu-disco will remain a pretty little niche. and it should be that way. Would you really want the average EDM fans jumping ship to nu-disco? Nothx, I'll take my 300 person basement lovin'. The Magician tonight.... very excited.

I feel like i can predict the plot for this one. the trailer practically screams that there's a grown man living in the house doing weird shit with the doll. I'm still going to watch it and be creeped the hell out by that stupid doll.
|
Yup! LOL. Or the little girl mentioned went nuts and is the one moving the doll.

I think everyone can enjoy a pussy riot. Its not like they were that radical. there's pleanty of things that suck about being a chick in russia.

I agree with you on most everything except I really love 808s. I find it an incredibly refreshing moment in his career, an exploration of minimalism and raw emotion. Also, I really have no problem with AutoTune, since American Idol showed that pretty much any jackass can sing well and I don't think that someone's vocal chops really makes or breaks their overall package.
|
I agree with the minimalism idea, seeing as Yeezus was minimalist, sort of taking the ideas of the Swedish minimalists in the 1960's, which if I were to get deeper would be ideal to invoke after making an album like MBDTF. Minimalism was a direct answer to the post WWII art that was the total opposite. Which in relationships would be Yeezus to MDDTF. If I am not wrong, he was inspired to create an album like that after visiting the Louvre in France, which obviously used to be an art gallery.. Alright sorry I went off in this art direction. I studied art this semester in Uni and it's stuck with me.

It should clue you in that most of them love the 'cinematography,' which here apparently translates to 'cool slo-mo.' I honestly think Dredd has some weird viral marketing thing that they do solely on Reddit because this movie comes up every couple months here as mind-blowing, when in actuality it's pretty much on par with 1990's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
|
Swear to god you're right. I've so many good things about it here, but wasnt' expecting much when I saw it. Was utterly bored by it, found it cliche, cheesy, and predictable.
|
408,399 |
Those are for tanks, not planes. I think you mean Stingers.
|
Ah yes, my bad. But I guess to limit those would be infringing on the ability to form a well regulated militia too. I mean... Queen of England, right? She's just itching to retake the colonies...
