411,200 | 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. | > WiFi is built around the idea that something else might be using the same frequencies and "jamming it". No, not at all. WiFi is built to tollerate other WiFi networks. They communicate and route round each other to avoid interference. This does not make it ok for you to jam them. |
411,201 | There is also Cisco Spark. They even copied Slacks logo. | Currently doing a PoC with spark. And the features they have currently work beautifully but boy do they have awhile to go before they have enough features to even compete with other competitors. |
411,202 | And she kept reverting back to saying "I want my candy bar" or something like that like dude the fuck you could sooooooo much shit but nah I'm kill this old dude who was just making a living because he wouldn't let me steal a candy bar. | Agree. Even by Purge standards, it makes no sense for a bunch of sorority girls to get drunk and drive a tricked out car into the Purge. I get it's a different universe with different values. But that's insane. And to do all of that and risk getting your friends killed because someone wouldn't let you steal a candy bar. It makes zero sense, even in the setting of the Purge universe. |
411,203 | I get what you are saying maybe rapture was the wrong choice of words but it still felt like a non ending. I know his theme was embedded deeply in every book. The last book still felt like bad writing. Not in the sense of bad Grammer or even general story. Bad in the sense of giving you a feeling of satisfaction. It made all the conflict and struggle the characters went through pointless. | But why? They are entering the best place possible, and everything is great. It is a logical ending to the allegorical story about Christianity. |
411,204 | As the person who places the stickers on the books at the warehouse, I'm so sorry. :( | The worst ones are the ones that have been on a book for a long time on a shelf like at a used store. Shit may as well be welded on there haha |
411,205 | Having race thoughts at the Forefront of your mind to cut any interaction you experience is just going to fuel it stronger though. Not everything is a race issue | Who decides what is and isn't a "race issue," especially when so many people keep saying "stop talking about race"? What if I think something is a race issue and you don't? What if it's people who have a vested interested in a racist person or act or institution who are telling people to "stop making it about race"? If we don't talk about things, where's the motivation to change it? Because the racists don't want to stop being racists, and don't want to change the system that allows or even encourages it. So then what? Should people experiencing racism just suck it up and deal? |
411,206 | I have to try, and really try. General themes usually get through to me but anything deeper flies past for the most part. At least for fiction. Non fiction or autobiographical texts I approach obviously with a more critical mind | i find it gets easier with practice, especially if i am thinking of what to write down. i let a book gestate for a bit in the brain and then while trying to sort themes, parallels just become super obvious. but then super obvious things just totally escape me. i was at the end of a 1000 page book when i realized the main character's nick name "half-cocked jack" came from him literally having half a penis. 1000 pages! |
411,207 | Darkspace: atmospheric black metal project spanning several albums, meant to convey the coldness and emptiness of space. Devin Townsend's *Ziltoid, The Omniscient*: Prog metal album about an alien who's come to earth in search of the perfect cup of coffee. If he doesn't get it, we all die! | Ziltoid the Omniscient is a 10/10 album. Long, but not too long, and great variety. Hyperdrive, Colour Your World, and By Your Command are my favorites. Fun fact: Devin did almost everything on the album by himself. The only thing he did not play were the drums, which he used software for. |
411,208 | He wants to be Cable in Deadpool but he would be in his seventies in any other sequels. | Well, that's good. Keeps them from wearing out the franchise, right? |
411,209 | Are you enjoying crippling anxiety and an unstable economy just like i am?!?! | Hey we got dealt a shitty hand but at least we had prime Eminem in our teenage years. |
411,210 | I'm reading The Wind Up Bird Chronicle at the moment, it's my first Murakami novel and I'm adoring it so far. | I admire Murakami's way of expressing emotions through the various characters you meet in TWUBC. You might feel deep sympathy for a character (like the war veteran) and the next you'll feel deep hatred towards the antagonist. I also felt claustrophobic throughout the well sections of the book which felt new to me at that time |
411,211 | efPALyyKEscukDnF. asspHeME7FEPAEWh. dW3Kxr2xkrXkrZr4. dK4HU3u8hyNFSef7. c5RPGn8bBPCnJRYw. e92zsV48V9NJD2wq. bPWbXqkZdnTYP4bz. Knock yourself out! | everything is showing up as an invalid code, don't know if spotify is just swamped right now or what. Patience is a virtue, I'm sure I'll get in eventually. Thanks! |
411,212 | Check out Bukowski. 'Post Office', 'Factotum', and 'Ham on Rye' will get you started. | Second Bukowski. Wile I think his poetry was his real work, Bukowski was the laureate of low culture because he spoke to people in plain English more than what he wrote. |
411,213 | Am I the only one here that has never seen a Star wars movie? | Yes, and you should remedy that as soon as humanly possible! |
411,214 | The prequels are some of the worst movies I've ever seen, and I am a 90s kid. | Fair enough. Heres your reddit "I hate prequels" badge, go and join the circlejerk. |
411,215 | It's insane. They have EVERYTHING I looked up the t.v. show community and the movie "without a paddle" and La Piovra (1984) they have every gun and a description of how it was used. Who has time for this? | i first heard of this site when looking up a gun [used in the fifth element] i was afraid i was going to have to use google fu to find this information but google led me to imfdb right away. it really is insane it's got everything. |
411,216 | Almost indecent? What would he have to do to make it indecent, dig her up and shit on her chest? | You had me confused. The lawyer is a woman. It is the *haste* which I was describing as almost indecent. |
411,217 | It had plenty of flaws but yeah I enjoyed it. I watched it again a few months later and thought the same thing. One criticism I never understood was the high level of destruction. If Kryptonians were duking it out on Earth you'd have a hell of a lot of damage. It helped illustrate the power and scale of the characters. | I think maybe this video is why some people were upset with the level of destruction. Superman is known for holding back and trying to *not* destroy everything. It would make sense from Zod being reckless but the movie also made it seem like Supes didn't care what he threw/punched Zod into, a rather complete disregard for the humans around him which is somewhat uncharacteristic for the hero. |
411,218 | just buy a bluetooth adapter and plug your phone/ipod/whatever into that and stream through the adapter | You're misreading their post. Their stereo has bluetooth, and they want to know if they can use that for music from their phone. The answer is, probably. Some phones or handfree systems won't work very well for that. If the handsfree supports A2DP then it will probably work. |
411,219 | I think book 11 is the best, actually. it's where things finally start picking up again. I'm on 14 right now, can't wait to see how it ends. | Yeah, I'm really loving book 11! The Mat chapters are my favorite at the moment, haha. |
411,220 | uhm... is it legal to own a 600 pound guard-boar? | Also, let's not forget, let's NOT forget, Dude, that keeping wildlife, an amphibious rodent, for uhh, domestic, you know, within the city - that aint legal either. |
411,221 | Obnoxiously slow RAM. I honestly fail to see the usefulness of it. A program that needs such vast amounts of RAM that it's going to need something like that would be better be optimized to use permanent storage efficiently, at which point it'd probably be cheaper per GB and per GB/sec to have a bunch of standard SSDs in place. | Early RAM wasn't as fast as it is nowadays, either. This is something rather new, and probably is more of a proof-of-concept. As it matures, I suspect we'll see it getting faster. |
411,222 | Or, Maytag sells your info to your health insurance company who will use it to raise your rates if you don't eat "healthy". | Ha, yes. Beer consumption and replenishment averages. "I'm sorry Dave, you can't order any more beers this month." |
411,223 | I don't know the man personally and he might well be a dick, but you really can't have Fleetwood Mac without him. | Oh he is a huge dick and a shitty person in general but he is one of the most important parts of the band. |
411,224 | What do you mean? I was talking about The Revenant. | Oh, you know, I read the original comment as **Hardly** instead of *Hardy* and was wondering what Di Caprio has to do with Mark Rylance's performance. |
411,225 | If they ever do make a movie based on the *Dark Tower* series, I would want [Javier Bardem] to play the gunslinger. The demeanor he has in No Country For Old Men matches the intensity of that character very well. the gunslinger isn't necessarily evil, but he is rough around the edges. | I always saw the character more in tune with Russel Crowe in terms of size, body type, and distant intensity. |
411,226 | Wow... find it so tricky to play it... What/how do *you* play it? Love that song, I sort of collect versions of it, ever since I heard Freedy Johnston play it. Love the R.E.M. version, and there's a very nice one by Barb Jungr as well! | I just played the record. I've never tried to play it on guitar, it doesn't sound that tough. Is it? |
411,227 | > What he means is that when one group of people (in this case, Google) decides what to code for and what not to — and in what way — people who are not a part of that decision-making process, those who actually use these fonts and these languages, can feel ill-served. I think this would be the Unicode consortium's fault, not Google's. Google's font implements Unicode. Google isn't to blame for Unicode fucking your language up. | There are multiple ways to display the same Unicode code point, and in some parts of the world, the way it's represented is a huge cultural and emotional issue. |
411,228 | I like how I know exactly what you were referring too even though I watch it years ago and have no idea which season and episode that was. | Free Willzyx: Season 9 Episode 13. In case you want to watch it again. :) |
411,229 | There are all sorts of "official" lists made by people like the NY times: And other tools like What Should I read Next, which makes recommendations based on the last book you enjoyed: I also like NPR's regular book review: ...and in the sidebar, there are some subreddits which I haven't checked out yet: [/r/booklists] and [/r/booksuggestions] Happy reading :) | Thanks! This is PERFECT:). Can't wait to dig in and read. |
411,230 | He achieved his goals, but lost who he wanted to share them with. tough call | Yeah that's true, when you put it that way it is tough to say if he really did win. |
411,231 | you're confusing your flaws. We aren't talking about character flaws here, we are talking production/story flaws. flaws | I think it's all the same. They're obviously subjective. He finds a flaw in the writing, you do not. Just because you don't, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That's the core of what I was trying to get at. |
411,232 | What about that isn't true? It's basic logic. The line she doesn't like is nowhere in the filmed convo. | But why deny the whole conversation even happened? She could have said, "He called me about a different line, but I didn't approve him calling me "that bitch"." |
411,233 | I feel the same way, Batman v Superman is kinda better than Man of Steel, yet Man of Steel has a 56% score on Rotten Tomatoes. | Yeah, but I'm not seeing any critics really love the film besides like 2, almost all the positive reviews are lukewarm at best. |
411,234 | Because it's not cost effective to get it from water. It's much cheaper to get it from natural gas. The entire industry is based around getting it from natural gas right now. And there isn't any indication it'll shift soon. And you should really lay off the shill thing unless you actually know what you're talking about. | The industry is based around getting it from natural gas, because then the petroleum industry isn't fighting it. Last I checked a 12v panel wasn't much, electrodes had dropped in price and the other costs are the same no matter what the source. (Pump head, pressure vessel). Yet here we are still discussing a material that has to be pumped out of the ground and transported before it can be processed, as though those costs don't exist. Water separation can be done on site. No massive infrastructure to maintain, no pipelines, no ships, no trucks needed. (Well maybe in arid regions). Natural gas is cheaper my eye. |
411,235 | If he/she wants feed back, go join a writers workshop! Have friends read it! You are far more likely to get a good review from those two sources then posting it to reddit. | Interesting, why do you think the OP is interested in a good review more than good editing? |
411,236 | Yeah, these robots seem like they walk way more "normal": | Holy crap that's awesome. I like the part when they kick it. |
411,237 | Definitely an underrated band. If only one word could describe them, I think it would be diverse. | I agree. They're also the greatest cover band I ever heard on top of everything else. |
411,238 | Actually watching this video kind of convinced me Urie must have gotten a GREAT vocal coach over the years because he's actually has learned to work his falsetto. He's done Queen covers before a few years ago and would struggle and squeak for high notes and the cover came out awful. The one I remember just disliking was they covered Killer Queen on their one tour and he just could not for the life of him find the right pitches and it was bad. I think someone needs to tip his vocal coach because they've done a good job. | Progress it progress, sure, but he's still not all the way there. He might just be a baritone, it will take a shit ton of training to get there if its even humanly possible to be the high strong baritone Mercury was. As someone with a lower vocal range, I just don't dare touch things I have to strain or rely too much on head voice on. |
411,239 | This is a great suggestion because it doubles as a tofu press. | Pops gave me a copy as some "light reading". Still haven't finished it. |
411,240 | I was by myself when I watched them, so I doubt it! | Oh. Just a coincidence then. Kinda weird cause All the President's Men is an older movie. |
411,241 | I really feel bad for some of the pure coding people at my school. It looks like their younger siblings are going to be as prepared as they are without a coding education. Of course, I think people would still need to go to college for theory and infrastructure development. And I don't think high-schools have the resources to teach architecture yet | It's not really feasible to teach much of anything at the high school level. People don't learn well in compulsory environments |
411,242 | Love how Mavis Staples whispers "beautiful" at the end of the track. [Link to better quality version of the track] | Good chance she is talking about Robbie. If you listen to audio commentary, Mavis talks about how handsome she thought Robbie was and that she couldn't stop looking at him |
411,243 | it's great. not as good as 2, but still good enough to warrant a sequel. just as funny, but not quite as action oriented (there's still action but it's cooler and more plentiful in 2). | The humour in 2 is better as well, I would say |
411,244 | UGH. Sort by genre or by theme or even hardcovers and softcovers that match in the color spectrum, anything but Alpha by Author. | I file by humorous juxtaposition. The God Delusion goes next to GK Chesterton, Edgar Allen Poe goes next to F. Scott Fitzgerald, etc. |
411,245 | Russian history is crazy, but also really fun. It's like a real life adult version of a Series of Unfortunate Events | Perfect way of describing that course. My syllabus when I took Russian History mentioned that the course was covering "The culture, life, and MISERY of Russian History." |
411,246 | its been a while that I read the book. Where was it hinted that he's in a sanatorium ? | He is clearly talking to a shrink the entire book, it is very obvious. It is still one of my favorite books of all time. |
411,247 | She's already proven she can pull off being a noble girl, street urchin, and badass killer flawlessly. | I don't know if my imagination version of vin would fit Maisie Williams :| this bothers me too much |
411,248 | And u can send it over social media. 1$ /u/changetip | The Bitcoin tip for 2,871 bits ($0.94) has been collected by *MassiveResponse*. [ChangeTip info] | [ChangeTip video] | /r/Bitcoin |
411,249 | You are on point with the Odyssey, I read it in my teens and again at thirty. Odysseus is a total douchebag. He just pillaged around for a long time, got all his crew killed then made it all up for that dumb civilization who loved telling stories so they would give him stuff. He pretty much lands somewhere and thinks "do i need to trick them or kill them to get their stuff" the ppl he tells his whole story to were trickable. | > Odysseus is a total douchebag. Exactly. And Achilles is a sadistic, psychotic serial killer. |
411,250 | If you have any interest in neuropsych, [Oliver Sacks] is a great writer. | Dr. Ramachandran is too-- Phantoms in the Brain is an amazing book. I just read it, and when I closed it, I just wanted to start from the beginning again. Basically, he discusses case studies in which people have very bizarre symptoms, and how he preceded to identify which part of the brain is affected. Oliver Sacks does similar work, Ramachandran's book is more recent though. Both are pretty phenomenal. |
411,251 | .I read it in spanish so yeah maybe something was lost, I found the prose to be really attractive, although I'll agree with you on the third chapter. The constant repetitions of rapes which was kind of disturbing. The last chapter really makes up for it though, so I don't think it's overrated. | I got 2666 in my wish list but I'm not sure that after reading 120 Days of Sodom I'm going to need any of this for a while. |
411,252 | And wd40. Might damage book covers though. Could be ok on gloss finished ones. Not sure. | Zippo fuel dissipates but wd40 is oil based. I'll do a quick test tomorrow on a cover see what happens. |
411,253 | The trailer actually doesn't ruin the whole movie. The things they give away in it seem a lot more important than they end up being. | I'm sure it didn't ruin it completely or anything, but it definitely ruined some things that would have been better to see only when you watch the movie for the first time. It's not like I'm not going to see the movie though, I was just giving a very recent example. |
411,254 | Vampires were from the depths of hell, last time I checked. | Says who? Also yea ehat versions of vampires are from hell? From dusk til dawn maybe... the crosses hurting them might suggest that they are from Hell in some instances but surely you don't think vampires in all stories are always from Hell. |
411,255 | Talking about white privilege isn't racism. That's a silencing tactic to stop criticisms against white privilege and racism. | Using someone's color to describe privilege is racist. I'm not trying so silence anyone. Just pointing out racism where I see it |
411,256 | We aren't at all. A German late night show host has a series of Hitler parodies. BTW: The late night show is financed by taxes. (well, not official taxes but basicially) Germany has nothing against anything Nazi related in the media. There are two exceptions: * Anything pro Nazi. You can make fun of Hitler and you can show Nationalsozialism as something bad (which it is) but Nazi propaganda is - of course - illegal. * ~~Swastikas in video games. They are technicially not illegal but the USK (group that makes video game ratings) has some problems with it. You could got to the *Bundesverfassungsgericht* (German supreme court) but that's too much annoyance for video game publishers.~~ | The USK is not the one who decides to censor swastikas in games, thats the [BPjM] Games are not seen as art in germany thats why they don't have the same freedom as movies, shows or satire. |
411,257 | Each permission is granted independently by your phone so you just need location allowed by an app the ads hit, eg a browser. They try to make this sound fancy but it sounds like they are just using ad service targeted by location. They already have a list of attributes they want to target he ad to. Once location also matches (triggered by geofencing) the person is then always shown ads. Not newsworthy at all but missing a good learning opportunity to explain basic targeted advertising to the masses. | That's not what they are using. The ads are pushed as silent notifications to the phone, not through the browser. |
411,258 | Eh, I used Google Wallet back when you could add money into the account for free but now that they charge a fee I really don't see the use when PayPal offers something better. Add money into the account for free, connect an unlimited amount of cards/bank accounts, use the PayPal debit card instead of your bank's, and the PayPal debit card gives you 1% cashback to boot. Literally the only times I've used the actual app were when it first came out to try it. Only places in my usual route that accepted nfc was a gas station and a vending machine. Not worth it in my opinion but maybe it is to some people. | Not seeing that they charge a fee for transfer to/from bank account. Are you sure? |
411,259 | I've had an irrational fear of squirrels my whole life. I had a nightmare of a giant squirrel break through the wall of my room and eating me. This movie is going to be fucking terrifying. | I'm glad I'm not the only one. Growing up, my room was directly below the attic, which was apparently quite a happenin' squirrel hangout. Nothing traumatizes a nine year old kid faster than keeping him awake with the sound of (presumed) rabid squirrels running around in the walls and having what sound like *epic* squirrel battles. The phobia kinda subsided for a while though. Fast forward eight years later: I went to the movies to see Tim Burton's remake of Willy Wonka, and had a moderate panic attack during the scene when the squirrels engulf that girl for being greedy or whatever. Had to leave halfway through the movie. My date was *not* amused. |
411,260 | They are fun and interesting but I can't think of much practical use of them right now. | They could be used to automate existing warehouses without rebuilding them. It's a lot cheaper to buy and program robots than to build a brand new automated DC. |
411,261 | Once again, not sure how NJ ska continually makes it to the front page of Reddit, but I'm not complaining! Just a handful of memories/bands from the height of the ska scene: - Moon Ska Records headquarters in NYC. - The Toasters. - Mustard Plug. - One Cool Guy. - The Pietasters. - Seeing Catch 22 at the Stone Pony, Birch Hill etc. pickitup! pickitup! | I listened to the Pietasters for the first time as a real adult (I'm 28) a few months back. That shit is hilarious. |
411,262 | You do realize that as an American of Polish descent who has lived in Poland, and is married to a proud Polack, I reserve the right to use Polack with a sense of defiant pride? | You might feel where you could do that and have it personally not mean anything derogatory to you, but on the internet there are people who might take offense to the usage of that term. |
411,263 | If there is one USB Type-C port on the phone and you want to plug in your 3.5 headphones and charge at the same time you do need an adapter, and luckily there is support for that. It is called the [charge-through] This adapter is also a passive one since it just connects the pins together. But we will see how all this will look in reality. | an adapter that must be purchased separately and after "apple tax" will be around £15 in the UK. source: Sold apple accessories for several years, 50% more expensive than anything comparable |
411,264 | Why in God's name is she not running for president? | Count the days until she's 35. She's in 3rd grade, so 25 years to go. She might be the first black woman president (or by that time we might have had one before her?). |
411,265 | I’ve read the books about Ender as well. Having seen the trailer of the movie, I think that the movie will not be as great as the book. But as I mentioned before, it was just a trailer. Perhaps there is more to it than meets the eye. trailer: | I hope to be proved wrong, but I'm not expecting much from the movie. |
411,266 | Video/computer gaming is an interesting medium. It's still quite nascent as a storytelling medium. The first storytelling games I can think of are at most around 40-45 years old, and storytelling as an element of mainstream gaming is even younger than that--somewhere around 30-35 years old. I think that it's only been the past 15 years or so that technology has developed to a point where the innate capabilities of the medium to generate original story elements can emerge. It seems to me that content creators are still grappling with discovering what those capabilities might be, if that makes any sense. | It's diverging in different ways, and some of them constrain or open out the story in interesting ways. Needing a lot of graphical work and voice acting cuts down on the options you can give to players. Dwarf Fortress creates "Tales of Greed and Industry" ending in bloody madness, generational feuds and the ruin of an empire, if you can interpret it. EVE Online at its best has Machiavellian scheming, betrayal and massive war, and half of the story takes place in the real world. Neither of them make sense to look at them if you don't know how, but they're great in the retelling. |
411,267 | I'm kind of torn about it. It really is beautiful art but I hate to think that books are being treated that way. It just makes me cringe in general. | I feel the same way...to me, it's OK if the books are legitimately beat up or out of date enough to be unsellable/un-donate-able, and there's no way to get them to someone who would read them. Making art is definitely better than recycling them. But if someone can get use out of them, it seems like a shame...definitely a knee-jerk response of "Don't chop up the books!" |
411,268 | I feel the same about movies as well. I never watch trailers or anything, I like to go into a movie or book knowing very little about it beforehand. | It's funny, I'm generally the opposite. Books, I can go in knowing little-to-nothing. But for movies, especially horror/thriller/anything with death, I need to know who survives or the stress is overwhelming. |
411,269 | Hell or High Water. It's flying criminally low on the radar of movies coming out this weekend. I'm willing to say it's my favorite film of this year along with Everybody Wants Some, and I only place them together because they're so vastly different. Career changing performance from Chris Pine (in my eyes at least), but every actor was top notch. I felt was as complete a package of a movie as you can get, and I implore everyone to check it out. | Someone on here said that it was only released on 32 screens around the US this weekend, but it would get a wider release next week. |
411,270 | I still love this song. Probably has no chance of happening but I always felt that 50 and Game should have came out with a collaboration album. Listen to this song and This is How We Do, I always felt their flows worked well together. | i been hoping that they would have dropped if that happen young buck maybe where the game at now |
411,271 | what I found chilling about it was the notion of having to believe as you're told. It seems like we're rapidly approaching a point where to disagree with radical leftist dogma is a thought crime that deserves punishment, which is why they have such disdain for freedom of speech. And of course, freedom of speech is really about freedom of thought. | > It seems like we're rapidly approaching a point where to disagree with radical leftist dogma is a thought crime that deserves punishment. no, we aren't. being told to respect people as humans and not make jokes about trans people not being humans is not the same thing as being restricted of your free speech rights lol. |
411,272 | It could just be my imagination but it seems like garbled inconsistent UIs are a hallmark of open source software. Everyone comes and adds something and then a decade later you have the interface equivalent of a shanty town. | Even VLC is a nightmare when you try to figure out how to do something new or that you haven't done in a while |
411,273 | The article claims there is a need for such books while there is not, in fact, a need for such books. Tell me, are you unable to find books you want to read? Have you ever picked up a copy of Pride and Prejudice, finished it and said 'Well, it's good, but it's not diverse enough'? | Hmm. Well, when I read Pride and Prejudice, I thought, "Man, white people are boring." I don't know what P&P has to do with the availability of other books, books about POC, books that aren't about middle-class white people in another country. I think there is room on bookstore shelves--and in Amazon's endless vaults--for P&P to exist and Mexican Dramas to exist side-by-side. |
411,274 | > Or Shrink Down the Battery Portion Dramatically. No. Stop this shit. | To be fair, the ability to have a smaller battery with a useful charge could enable new kinds of devices, or new uses for old devices. Phones don't need to be smaller, but maybe something else does. |
411,275 | I"m sorry, but i can't get into this hype. Disney is a fucked up company and they plan these movies purposely in December because of the holidays. It's a money maker. It makes me sick a little. | It's a company trying to make money? Very fucked up! |
411,276 | The Pellucidar series was always my favorite by ERB, though Barsoom would be a very close second. | I love all his sci-fi, proto-scifi is my favorite genre the earlier the better. |
411,277 | EVERY single time I get in the mood for KC I remember this when I search in Spotify. Dammit. | It infuriates me so much, I know a lot of artists are anti-streaming but it really limits their audience. |
411,278 | If you use something more realistic, since almost no one maxes out their bandwidth constantly. If you watch Netflix for 8 hours a day you use about 56GB / day (Netflix info says ultra HD takes 7GB per hour) . So it would more likely take between five to ten days for a normal user to go through it. If you watch HD, it's about 24 GB per day, which would make your bandwidth last ten to 13 days. | Yeah but you're assuming only a single person using the connection. Take a household of four that has everyone using streaming services on separate devices and it's really ease to chew through a lot of data. Throw in a Steam user and it's even eat. Games are getting pretty big, and to boot, I don't know exactly how high Steam will go, but I know it'll saturate a 50 Mbps connection and I'm pretty sure it'll saturate up to at least a couple of hundred Mbps. Do a bunch of Steam downloads and you absolutely could chew through a lot of data in a very short amount of time. |
411,279 | They have time-travelling suitcases and you're hung up on the cosmetic surgery technology? | Maybe I missed a few lines of dialogue, but I don't remember it being explained as some futuristic facial reconstruction technology at play. |
411,280 | but why is " yelling and booing and clapping and walking out and pissing each other off" chimp-like at the movies but acceptable at a sporting event? | You go to the movies to watch the visuals and *listen* to the dialogue. Sporting events are more about action. Actually erase that it's ALL action. |
411,281 | what makes you think 4K or 8K won't take over? Most media is 1080p now, which not many people tough was going to happen a few years ago. Also all games are huge and I noticed a tendency to not deleting files anymore | Resolution is one thing, but many "1080p" video streams or rips have much to gain from increased bitrate. |
411,282 | I agree I don't see what makes her attractive there's like 100s of other artists or actresses I could list. | It was sarcastic. She's stunning but we all have our preferences. For instance I don't know how people can eat oysters but they do. |
411,283 | He's massive. 3x the size of Batman, I thought it was a bit too big. | Yeah and when he's drugged up on Titan he is even bigger. |
411,284 | > **Higher resolution is less important for anything other than games** Holy. Fucking. HELL. Stop. Please just stop. You're making the collective human race look stupid. Damn. Don't argue about shit you don't know shit about. | I know a lot actually. It's also useful for other things, but nothing you'd buy a macbook rocking a core m for. You can read tiny text on 1080p as is, and no one in their right mind would do any image editing on something like this. |
411,285 | Set the audio to alerts only. Then it'll still navigate and tell you about things along your route but won't give driving instructions. | That would stop a pop up screen? I like the driving directions when I want them, and wouldn't even hate them for when I'm going home even though I know the way. I just don't want it assuming I want to go home every time I get in my car. Heck... I like to think that my house is the one place I can find from most places without Waze having to direct me there. |
411,286 | Your facts are a bit off. They don't store everything you type and don't send, when you delete a message or status before sending they record the time and message length to try and work out patterns in why people arnt sharing. | I did some reading and it turns out it's just metadata, so you're right. But labelling it metadata gives Facebook permission to save information on where it was/wasn't posted and to whom it was intended. Whether they do store that level of data is another matter but considering Facebook's track record, I wouldn't be surprised. |
411,287 | Little by Little is perhaps my favorite album from them. Moral Centralia is great. | I agree. Great song. I also love [Cream and Bastards Rise] and [Wine Women and Song] is catchy and cleverly worded. |
411,288 | I'm curious to know what makes a tech reviewer stand out from the crowd, what you guys look for and what you enter in that little search bar on YouTube. Who do you watch and what do you love about them? What constructive feedback would you have for the channels that aren't as appealing (without naming names)? | The personality of the person in front of the camera matters most of all. Data is data. If i wanted to know the performance of a new GPU, i could easily (as in, much more easily) go to a website and look at a graph or a table full of numbers. The reason i do not is because those youtubers present the data in a friendly, easy to digest manner that is most of all, **entertaining**. Some youtubers i watch have great camera angles and slow mo shots and awesome editing... but that doesn't matter much if they themselves weren't interesting to listen and watch. |
411,289 | I saw the first trailer on vacation in July 2014 (I think) and could not wait to see it. How could you watch that trailer and not think, at the very least, that it would be an entertaining action flick. My brother, who has a pretty solid taste in movies and view of how they will perform at the box office, was sure it was going to flop. We were both blown away at not only the reviews, but how well it did at the box office ($375 million worldwide), and I think that the phenomenal reviews it got helped fuel the box office success. Here's to hoping George Miller decides to make a(nother) sequel... | > Here's to hoping George Miller decides to make a(nother) sequel... I really hope so but he said it was a nightmare of a process to get done and he never wants to do another one. |
411,290 | I'm guessing it is. Usually that kind of rule-breaking takes a good understanding of the syntax of a language. | Yeah, english is pretty stupid that way. random rules are everywhere, and random exceptions exist for every rule, and probably an extra rule for each exception. I was almost about to explain that you can't end sentences in contractions, and then totally forgot that you could. sometimes. |
411,291 | Okay. 43 kcal per 100g, £1 per kg. Total cost: £2.32. 530 kcal per 100g, £1.12 per 100g. Total cost: £2.10. The idea of having to eat 5.8kg of sprouts every day just to maintain body-weight is kind of amusing and goes a long way to explaining why they are considered healthy, but I'm not sure what you're getting at with the prices. | > Calorie for calorie, junk foods not only cost less than fruits and vegetables, but junk food prices also are less likely to rise as a result of inflation. > The survey found that higher-calorie, energy-dense foods are the better bargain for cash-strapped shoppers. Energy-dense munchies cost on average $1.76 per 1,000 calories, compared with $18.16 per 1,000 calories for low-energy but nutritious foods. > The survey also showed that low-calorie foods were more likely to increase in price, surging 19.5 percent over the two-year study period. High-calorie foods remained a relative bargain, dropping in price by 1.8 percent. |
411,292 | There was no doubt in my mind that it was A too, maybe with a little bit of B and C mixed in. (I know I'm still terrified of her.) Him and Queen Latifah were definitely having a laugh at the fact that she won a Golden Globe for acting; and for American Horror Story of all things. That's like getting a participation trophy at the World Cup with a reserve squad. And good God, that speech was drenched in self-indulgence. I swear, she was the only person in that room who genuinely believed she'd earned it and it didn't have to do with--like Ricky pointed out--the HFP doing it out of sheer fandom. | Agreed. She was so dramatic and the whole pretending to wobble and need help while going up the stairs was obnoxious! |
411,293 | I loved everything about it, but I understand your point of view. Not gonna downvote an opinion! | You're being nice for not downvoting his opinion and yet, you get downvoted. I upvoted you by the way |
411,294 | I know who you mean and it'll be fine because even though said person is important to Katniss, they won't be to the viewer, much like the reader since you don't get to know them as well. | I think they did a good job of remedying that lack of connection a bit in the movies. Not enough to make it totally heart-wrenching when it happens, but enough to better justify **SPOILER** (tag's not working) Katniss' mental breakdown & actions at the end. |
411,295 | Pretty good i think, kind of reminds me of a more metal Motorhead sound. If anything, maybe a little louder on the drums but it may just be the audio and either way it sounds great. | Thanks!! It was a camera in the audience so it is just a random you-tube upload that somebody did. |
411,296 | try the "new bloomsday book"', by Blamires. Gifford's annotations are excellent, but they are alll about detail. first read thru should not cause you to bog down for three paragraphs about why the dressing gown is yellow. that's way too much detail. Blamires provides a concise synopsis with explanation of the seminal connections and details and allusions, but without zooming into the details so far that you miss the over arcing concept. Use Gifford the second time thru. it's thicker than Ulysses itself. but the "New Bloomsday Book" will be manageable and won't make the thing feel so daunting. | Fair points about Gifford. I have The Bloomsday Book too, and it is a far more concise intro to the book. |
411,297 | From the background of a web developer, I can tell you right now that there's really no major problems with IE10. It behaves correctly. Of course, the intensely slow update release cycle of IE means that it will inevitably fall behind again, and the way people cling to old versions for "enterprise" reasons is just bogging the problem down more, but even still, it's not like MS can't develop a good browser. They can. They have. They just can't keep it polished over time. The fact is, the size of Microsoft is their problem. They have no agility anymore. They simply can't keep a software product bleeding edge. | hrmm maybe if the government had broken then up into smaller companies, it would have made them a bigger force to be reckoned with. |
411,298 | It was done with a computer, so yes. I admit, the photo was a crude print, but I could clearly see it. | Look at the bright side. You got a bj from a good-looking redhead. Digitally. |
411,299 | Good luck getting the channels listed over the air | [We have a 7 day EPG over the air here in the UK] along with HD free OTA as well. |
