*music, not spun. How did my phone autocorrect music with spun???

I thought you might have just typo'd the "u" instead of an "i" making it "and the spin became generic," which I thought was rather poignant when you think that the records that were spinning in the players of people everywhere became generic.

yes yes yes. that guy and his rich friends just moved off to florida and are living ritzy lives even though they're all criminals. on top of that i've interviewed belfort and he's a huge turd. i was so mad about the movie because i didn't want him to achieve even more fame and fortune.

But it wasn't meant as a celebration of Belfort. It was to hold a lens up to something absolutely fucking ridiculous so people would know how absolutely flicking ridiculous it is/was.

I think it would really take some time for us to totally remove the fakes out of the picture.

At least if the effort is on to remove the fakes, all will be well in time. We are moving into an age where greater transparency will be totally possible. I am really happy about that. But we must all become politically aware. Take the politicians up on their promises and make sure they follow through on what they say they'll do. If we all get together in a collective effort to remove the corruption from politics, I believe we will be successful. What do you think?

More baffling is how Biff is able to operate the time machine to get to and fro. Including knowing how to refuel.

Time circuits would be easy to figure out if you read the screen, as for the 88mph requirement ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Also is it explicitly stated that there is only enough fuel for Mr Fusion to make 1 trip at a time? Whats to say that in 2015 you can fill up with fusion rich fuel at the Texaco that could generate enough power for multiple trips.

Agreed on all. I'd also say Into The Woods, as it kind of fell apart completely in the final act. Good movie though.

Nah Into the Woods is great. The entire concept is subverting the fairy-tale tropes by giving us a happy ending half-way through and then showing us that they don't just "live happily ever after"

I didn't find Twilight Company that bad. Having read the canon books to that point and not played the video game I probably had my expectations set about right. A very middle of the road novel. Certainly not the worst in the new canon. By far the worst I found were The Phantom Menace, Heir To The Jedi, and the first Aftermath book. On the other side Lost Stars was a very good book, and A New Dawn was brilliant - best of the new canon.

I also like A New Dawn. Although the plot gets a bit repetitive when the blow up yet *another* Imperial installation after having already done it twice, and I'd have liked to have met the rest of the Ghost crew. But those are my only major criticisms. Kanan wrestling with his past and his force powers is great and Hera is as righeously badass as ever. Did read the one that also has Tarkin in the same book? It has 3 short stories that are also very good.

I think There Will be Blood is better then Synecdoche, and I agree about Mommy, what an emotional powerhouse of a film.

Ironically, it's one of the only PTA movies that doesn't star Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Since Gorilla Glass 3 & 4 stand near 7-8 on the Mohs scale of hardness and most of the materials we react with in our environment less than that, aren't screen protectors basically a scam? Nothing lower than 7-8 on the Mohs scale would scratch a screen.

I used to have a screen protector on my Nexus 4. I've been using the Nexus 5 for the past year or more without a protector on the screen, and there's no scratches. I'm careful with it, I keep it in my pocket with the screen facing my thigh, and it's never given me a problem. I'd say you don't need one. Unless you work in a desert...?

I genuinely like how this could just as well be a description of a game about mental illness.

That's what a game about Auri would have to be. A Slow Regard of Silent Things was nothing so much as a peek inside the head of someone with what looked like severe OCD.

This was a ted talk a few years ago:

Yep, was pretty amazing; I watched that on youtube a while back and I really recommend other people take a look. It's surreal to see photons bouncing around in slow motion like some sort of nature documentary footage.

Facebook? Doing under-handed things? This is the company started and led by the guy who thinks users are "dumb fucks" for trusting fb with their personal information. Well - I'm shocked - shocked I tell you.......

idk if I'd even say 'started' by, the idea was someone else's baby Zucky just tore out by c-section and retroactively bought

Is there a reason they should keep the copper up if theyve upgraded to fiber?

No, that guy is stupid. We want them to replace copper with fiber. Unfortunately these companies are pushing for metered wireless data, and letting their copper die.

That moment when you realize Disney owns a controlling share of your imagination.

The following moment when you don't mind at all because Disney was already part of your imagination alongside Marvel and Star Wars anyways

He actually does have an incredible voice, on their first two albums they were a straight up Celtic Soul act and did some killer Aretha covers.

Oh I know, a and I absolutely agree, it's just that the weird incomprehensible yodely way he sings is a little unusual.

Can anyone tell me what happened to 'super wifi'? I would have thought that would have been perfect for what Google is trying to do.

It's not that technologically feasible. While long range Wi-Fi transmission might be possible, devices aren't going to have the juice to transmit data back.

Dear Alon(alonalon), I'd opt for horchata with extra cinnamon. What would you choose? -Milo

nice. i'm torn between something healthy like a wheatgrass shot / juice cleanse, or something fun like a martini (because i'm imagining sliding down a martini glass like a water slide), or something texturally interesting like cake batter flavored muscle milk (which also tastes kind of good like lucky charms)

The Jewish Internet Defense Force (yes they actually exist) aren't anything new, but Facebook actually collaborating with them most likely is. This is another step in the direction of governments trying to have direct control of social media.

This is an easy second place in my top three flogging molly songs. Whats left of the flag will always be number one.

Great song. On my top 5 for sure. Whats your #3? My #3 is their cover of The Times They Are A-Changin.

Did you ever read God Is Dead by Ron Currie? One of my favorite books of all time. Really quick read too. What's that one about?

I haven't read God Is Dead but I'll put it on the list. Everything Matters! is about a guy who has aliens talking to him about how the end of the world is going to come about.

Take me out, tonight, where there's music and there's people and they're young and alive.

Driving in your car, I never never want to go home, beacause I haven't got one, anymore

It seems to me that the author loves books more than actual reading, possibly because the article was written by an author. Personally, I love the fact that my phone can provide me with a complete media solution in a portable format. Being able to listen to music when I'm walking and read a book wherever I am with a single device that fits in my pocket pretty much overcomes any of the advantages that paper books may offer. I do love the smell of old books but I hate the smell of old, wet books and as Grouch Marx said "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it is too dark to read."

>Inside of a dog it is too dark to read. Not on my phone!

there is literally no other source for this story. the speed at which you drink bullshit blows my mind.

[Check this at justice.gov] You can also review all the relevant court documents.

Here's the thing...in general, an artist like Beck doesn't have a dividing line between these two things. That's the issue I have with it.

Are you saying his music is influenced by scientology? Could you point out where it's at, so I could be bothered by this as well?

how is that a bad song in any way? the beat and his flow are fine...

I don't like the beat and I don't like his flow, it's an opinion

I didn't realize you were so easily amazed. Now I see why you believe outlandish things with no evidence.

It's outlandish to believe that they won't be using this for datamining. And just because they don't start out recording everything you say doesn't mean it won't happen slowly over time, like every other bonkers thing that's been normalized that way. You're one of those people who didn't bat an eyelash when Facebook bought Oculus arntcha? I have little concern about the idea of a company providing a service like this, I simply feel I should be paid for the data they glean and sell. Until I see some compensation for this extra profit they make off me, I'll be avoiding this kind of thing.

They're both rip offs. Stay with 7 or switch to Ubuntu, but if you pay for Windows 8 you're a fool. I know a guy who sells it for a living. Even he won't use it.

I've used Ubuntu. I wouldn't use it in a production environment. Does that hold water in your opinion? No? Didn't think so.

*The World Has Turned-Weezer(1/2 their songs are breakup songs) *Wonderwall-Oasis. *With or Without You-u2. *I Hate Everything About You-Three Days Grace. *Mayonnaise- Smashing Pumpkins. *The Man that Can't Be Moved-The Script. *Breakeven-The Script. *Let it Be-The Beatles (a whole bunch to choose from them...) *Wish You Were Here-Pink Floyd. *Kristy Are You Doing Okay-The Offspring. *Where Did You Sleep Last Night-Nirvana, unplugged. *Muscle Museum-Muse. *Any Maroon 5 song from Songs About Jane. *Naive-The Kooks. *Little Wing-Jimi Hendrix. *Whatsername-Green Day. *Wonderful Tonight-Eric Clapton. *First Day of My Life-Bright Eyes. *Dammit-Blink 182. *Honest Goodbye-Bad Religion. should be good for a while

Dude, Weezer songs can be rough: Nostalgia from my high school days + perfectly poignant lyrics = lots of cry.

iMessage has replaced sms for most of my friends.

and now (as of iOS 8) apple has been able to beautifully implement new features into the already reliable service. but if AT&T wanted to add features, they'd have to make sure Verizon and Sprint and all of the others are compatible

If you have to say "not trying to be a dick", you're trying to be a dick.

Just said it because it's hard to convey tone on the internet and I guess it backfired because it made me look like a dick

A dodge from what, idiot? Are you interrogating me like you have some relevance in this conversation?

Just say where you do your research and the conversation can be over.

Yesterday, I was thinking about GPS, Waze app and traffic lights, and it striked me the idea of using the GPS to detect when traffic lights change. This imaginary app would detect your position, speed, the state on the traffic light (based on crowd sourced GPS positions) and would tell you how fast/slow you would need to go to be in a green wave. What you do think about? Is it theorically possible at least?

you're driver I assume, have you ever noticed traffic lights changing their timing? what would happen to the first car that assume it's going to be green but it goes orange/red? I wanted something like this, but not an app. 1, you don't want to be looking at your cell often while driving. 2, apps can be downloaded by anyone, including the stupid, and they will get into wrecks with such a feature. this is why I would prefer manual timers, and you would remember the times because you only use this with very familiar routes, like the one you take to work. as soon as you have to apply skill and memory, stupid people won't try it.

yeah its not like this was the fastest selling album in human history or anything

it wasn't. Eminem's Marshall mathers LP sold 4 times as much on its opening day, 1.2 million to the 300,000 of WPSIATWIN.

I mean you're definitely exaggerating it a tiny bit, but my god was that film hard to watch. And not even in terms of shitty plotting or poor acting. The constant cuts and the inability to figure out the geometry of a scene were atrocious. It's a good reminder that only Michael Bay can do Bayham like Bay, but even that isn't 100% on point all the time.

i am not exaggerating at all. there is a scene in the movie where they watch tv and the marines are screaming "can you see it? can you see it? oh my god!!!" the camera has zoomed in so far into the tv...were you literally can only see a few pixels.

Welp... ok then. That's significantly more worrying. Your phone almost certainly has a decent fingerprint to pull.

Don't fret. Apple Pay / Android Pay (it's no longer Google Wallet) used tokenized credit card info. Meaning, while you add your card, your actual card number is not stored. The supported banks work with Google/Apple and provide either a virtual card number unique to your device or tokenize the card number for every transaction. In both cases, there are online tools to remove or block those cards from being used via both Google/Apple _and_ your card's issuing bank, all without having to cancel your card and get a new one issued, etc.

I like this guy better than that Nigerian guy that emails me

I like your cake day better than the other days.

Calling religion a fraud is hateful and bigoted? lmao if that isn't the pot calling the kettle black.

" loooool how dumb are religious people right, now let me get on my high horse so I can fly to planet Smarterthanyou " I guess everyone has to feel superior one way or another though.

Eh... Spoilers potential so I'm going keep it vague. We only ever see Kvothe fight one time when he isn't taking about himself, and the aftermath of another fight. In neither of them did he acquit himself admirably.

But those times are when he's powered down *significantly*, and he's implied to be deliberately throwing the fights out of personal choice. Even if we assume that is indicative of his true fighting prowess, somebody not being good at winning fights isn't enough to constitute them being a flawed character. It's simply one less bulletpoint on an otherwise comprehensive list of skills he's amazing at.

Bullshit. It's got nothing to do with the money, it's to do with the pride and integrity of making a an artistic statement that will stand the test of time. Do you think Orson Welles was focusing on his paycheck when making Citizen Kane? Was Michelangelo thinking about the cash when he was painting the roof of the Sistine Chapel? When that scene where the kid fucking the sandwich gets his cock bitten by a dog hits the silver screen, Eugene KNOWS that he's made the right decision. Art trancends all, even if his cut barely covers cab-fare to the studio.

I bet your in Starbucks, and just wrote that on your Mac Book...Didnt You.....**DIDNT YOU!!!!**

I remember watching that in a packed theater and everyone was losing their minds (literally cheering and then screaming then more cheering than more screaming) and no one realized it was all just a vision until the end. I've never been so surprised watching a movie of a book I'd already read - they made it both entertaining and shocking and yet still brought it back around to the same ending from the book. Much better script writing than book writing!

Wait, so that battle wasn't in the books? (I've only watched the movie.) How is that moment played out in the book, then? Are they just warned as to what would happen?

Except, in theory, this should be the same as a HUD in video games.

Whose theory? Download a speed app for your phone that projects up to the windshield and tell me it's the same a video game. Nope. Two entirely different focal points, and since you still have the far field perspective it's harder to focus your eyes on the projection.

*Jane Eyre*. My dad swore up and down it was one of the best books he'd read. I read something like 12 chapters and still just hated it. I couldn't finish. I was around 13, though, so maybe I'd feel differently now.

I had to read Jane Eyre in college and was actually really looking forward to it. But I also hated it. I've often thought of picking it up again to see if I'd like it any more now, but haven't been able to convince myself to do so.

Would a guitar amp built with these sound like a tube amp?

I too was wondering if this might replace traditional vacuum tubes in guitar and bass amplifiers with similar sound results.

No shit? If you plug your phone into a computer and use a program to access it's files you'll find every single photo you've sent on snapchat saved on a obscure file that's not your gallary.

What program can you get that does this? Is there one that will work for the iPhone?

When i read the title, I thought they'd brought out a new saw film called. "Saw Phantasm: Remastered"

No, but the fourth and final Phantasm sequel *Phantasm: Ravager* premiered today at Austin's *Fantastic Fest* film festival.

Lindsay Sterling....everything she does is absolutely mind blowing and amazing. That woman knows how to play strings! Also Kepler 22...it's just....*goosebumps*

I love her rendition of The Phantom of the Opera.

They only show him getting raped a few times. There not going to dedicate half of the movie to him getting raped. Why should getting raped be considered just every day life in prison.

Of course they aren't, as it's only a small percentage of his prison life. Why would they show anymore than was showed?

I don't like getting books because they are always random but if someone got me a book from my Goodreads to-read list, I would be happy. Unfortunately, no one asks me what I want for Christmas. They always make those stupid surprises :(

I'm interested in how you wanted to end this comment.

Is there a physical light on the receivers side? If so then yes it is a bit stupid (maybe ok to outline some protocol framework, but nothing new). If CBI (computer to brain interface I presume) somehow makes you see the light when there is none then it is BrainToBrain :-)

~~Read the article. It's not making you see something that's not there. It's not transmitting thoughts between brains. You don't hear a voice in your head. It's a light switch that you control by looking at one of two flashing lights.~~ ~~Honestly, the technology used here is not revolutionary. I've seen a multitude of examples of technology doing similar things over the past decade. There used to be a table top game where you moved a ball back and forth using brain waves. The tech here is hardly different.~~ Edit: I'm an idiot. Read the comment below mine.

What is or isn't offensive is very subjective and differs for every person and setting. In a political discussion you shouldn't feel constrained to say what you want to say, as long as it contributes to the discussion.

Then that nasty thing called 'the truth' rares its ugly head, and feelings are hurt ...

While I agree that the film version of Congo was in many ways inferior to the book, it's always been sort of a cult favorite of mine. Laura Linney and Ernie Hudson are great, and it's a fun popcorn movie if you can get past the wacky lasers and whatnot. Edit: and Tim Curry! Vastly entertaining.

Totally forgot about Tim Curry being in the movie. It's been awhile. Maybe I should try to rewatch.

" the coroner has ruled death by app , bring them in detective "

we've determined that the programmer is to blame. Life in prison!

Apple makes premium products, they don't want their products to break because that makes their products look bad. If they want you to buy the latest iPhone they'll just make the OS use more resources to make old iPhones slow.

Then why do they put such crappy batteries in their phones? Or glass panels on both sides of a phone? Or make the antenna lose connection if you hold it with your left hand? But anyway, OLED is a superior short term technology, so it fits right in with Apples plans. It looks better, but stops being better after a short time period. Just in time for your 24 month plan to be renewed.

> I like the one time I tried to add a single MP3 (an mp3 of my friend's indie band) and literally my only option if I wanted to add it was if I wiped out 14 gigs of mp3s already on the iPhone as per iTunes' demands. This is something I just don't get at all. How on earth is this more intuitive to non-computer-savvy folks than just, "ok so you got folders. Some folders in other folders. Organize them anyway you like, and put music in them, too. Just drag and drop!"

I reckon it's something to do with music copyright management.

That's not the issue I was talking about- the issue is that a propeller can only propel a plane so fast. It doesn't matter if you can spin that propeller a million RPM for an eternity, the plane will probably not be breaking the sound barrier. /u/thereddaikon mentioned a turbine using the reactor to power the compressor and heat up the air for propulsion, which might enable electric fighter jets...

Also, as a propeller passes the speed of sound it starts to become less efficient.

I think you will. The number of advantages and ways to save money here are astronomical.

I agree the applications are mind boggling, it's completely going to change the way we live, work and travel. I personally can't wait. I have family that lives 9 hours away and it's a big deal to go and see them. With a self driving car we can set out the night before, sleep while the car drives and arrive the next morning. Seems simple but it would incredibly useful for my family.

They are no longer a band, but Krist Novoselic of Nirvana <3.

Of course, playing in Nirvana would be just as badass as FF

Apparently they're remaking the movie. I'm pretty excited about it.

Haven't heard that. Hopefully they do it justice. The last attempt was made for tv.

He doesn't pride himself in being a critic, he has openly stated that he's just a guy that likes talking about movies and people enjoy his stuff and watch it so why wouldn't he make content that people like? Also you have probably the most ironic comment of 2015 so congrats!

Thanks I guess? I agree with you about Jeremy, and when I made the comment the link had been downvoted (38% I think)

This just shows how absurdly sheltered from real poverty most people on this website are. There is literally nowhere that a single person making $100,000 USD a year isn’t able to live a better life than 99% of the world

It’s because the news likes to paint Silicon Valley as this demon hell hole where $150k/year gets you the back seat of a car in a homeless camp. $3000/m in rent seems like a ton, but if your monthly income is $7000 after taxes , you’re still capable of saving money and living well.

Huh? Dr. Seuss was pretty forward-thinking. I can't think of any examples where it wasn't used in satire. Star-bellied sneeches is a blatant push against how ridiculous racism is.

It's basically the difference between what was normal and acceptable in the 50s and what's normal and acceptable now, i.e., > I'll hunt in the mountains of Zomba-Ma-Tant, with helpers who all wear their eyes at a slant… [Illustration] I always change that to "hats at a slant" because, frankly, I don't want my four year old to innocently talk about people's eyes being slanty.

I loved Big Little Lies! I still have to watch the show myself.

I LOVE the book so far. I'm about 80% done with it and can't wait to finish it!

>Sophie Kinsella. Have you ever read her books under her real name, Madeleine Wickham? Most of them are really good.

I think I read one or two (Gatecrasher and 40 Love?) but I don't remember anything except that they were more serious. I'll have to give them another try, thank you!

I think he's merely caught in the post-Disney reflex. He doesn't want to be a 'former child actor'. So he's going off the deep end. Cutting his face to prove he's got what it takes to be something serious in the eyes of Hollywood. He's gone nuts because he wants to be anything but 'That kid who was in Holes' or 'Even Stevens'.

I see him as a poor man's joaquin phoenix who basically did the crazy thing just a few years earlier then reinvented himself as master of indie movies

Again, RT does not reflect the "overall score of the movie" it's a rating comparing those that like it to those that didn't.

Is the critic score an accurate description of how I will receive the movie? No? Then they probably shouldn't have it there and just leave the user score. I feel that with big names like batman and superman in one movie, people, especially critics, may have almost unreachable expectations for it. It was either gonna get an A if it blows everyone away, or an F if it falls even a bit short. Scores like 29% with this movie, whether it's an "overall score of the movie" or just a representation of which critic did or did not like it, is kinda horse shit. I'm just saying.

Seems like a pretty solid summation of Desolation of Smaug to me. He doesn't even mention the dwarf hijinks with Samug at the end, or what was the deal with that pile of treasure? Like 500 football fields big, it was distracting more than eye-pleasing. The movies are nowhere near the quality of the book.

i was only pointing out things that don't make sense in the context of "bilbo embellished the story" :D

>intend to use it as a fire starter. Meh, that's edgy to me.

I'll be sure to add your decision to the ledger.

And integrate some kind of laws in their mainframe so that they don’t break ethical borders

Its hardcoded into their system yeah. ^(they can break the rules tho)

These are all excellent, and The Useds lead vocalist even sounds exactly like early Gerard Way. Ty.

You’re welcome! He and Gerard were actually friends for awhile there. I’m not sure what the whole story is, but I’ve always like both bands. If you look up there earlier cds, there is a duet cover of “Under Pressure” that Bert and Gerard sing together. You might like that.

I love the Pikul EP. Its just transpires feeling all over the place. Its fantastic.

That it does. It's amazing chill music. Have you heard their new EP Seasick? It's just three songs, but it's very Pikul-esque. Nikki sings one of the songs and Seasick itself is incredible. They're still making great music.

The people who write for the games and the people who write for the movie are completely different people.

The story was written by Chris Metzen, and I would be willing to bet that the screenplay borrowed heavily from his writings. That, and Blizzard has a well-defined style that they are not likely to stray very far from... And you can definitely get a sense of that from what is shown in the trailers.

1984? Old one, but I just finished listening to the audiobook version.

This was written as a dystopian future book rather than an alternate history book. It only feels like alternate history because it was written so long ago.

The article says it's not planned obsolescence, then explains that phones become obsolete in 2 years because of OS updates that are specifically planned to coincide with new phones, then ends with a suggestion to just buy a new phone if you don't want to deal with it. That's pretty much the definition of the phrase. The only explanation I can think of is that the author is confusing planned obsolescence with the conspiracy theory that there's a setting that companies use to remotely toggle to throttle phone performance when a new model comes out.

Planned obsolescence is when the intent is to make the old thing obsolete. OS update aren't *necessarily* intended to make old devices obsolete -- the simpler explanation is just that they're not quite as well-optimized on the older devices, so they aren't quite as good. Oooorrrr maybe some of these OS updates actually are planned obsolescence. It's hard to know.

Back in my day, the YouTube comments were good.

Yes. That is when YouTube comments were good. Now they just suck.

Well obviously that's the option. Does Googles vertical integration not make you a little uncomfortable? They are in a position to know literally everything you do to such an extent that they can even assemble fairly comprehensive stats on the *acquaintances* of their users. I use tons of google services as it is, so I'm not crazy privacy guy. But at some point you have to think about how much access to your life you're willing to give to one company. I'm thinking cell service provider might be that point for me.

What's the difference of having Google as your carrier I'd you already have an android phone? I think your one of those people who needs to see the Google maps history of yourself. Your phone updates Google about every 15 minutes with almost your exact position. And stores this information indefinitely (you can turn it off and delete it however).

Yes, but how many of them involve killer mermaids?

Upvote for making me spew Red Bull from my nasal passages. It burned, but was awesome regardless.

I don't know of the Aero Arrow was as awesome as what I remember learning about, but I always think what we would have been of we didn't cancel the project. Would we be in the predicament that we are now, or would we have our own plane that would could build?

The Arrow was year ahead of it's time in terms of tech. If we had not cancelled that program, we could be the manufacturers of the worlds best planes at the moment - Arrow 3 or whatever. Definitely a crime that they cancelled that project.

This'll sound dumb, but The Illuminatus Trilogy, when I was 16... I just had no idea what the fuck. I have to say I was a pretty sheltered teenager, my parents were hermits who worked all the time, I had no siblings and very few friends, and there wasn't really an internet or anything where I could have learned the context of the conspiracy theories and etc.

That's the fun of it once you figure out how to approach the Illuminatus books, I think. They're so bloody stupid, but so succinct in places too. I wasn't sure which bits were true, entirely fictional, or somewhere in between by the end, but what a ride. Suppose that plays to the whole Chaos vibe..

I respect your opinion and your free to dislike them but your melody argument is fucking stupid

>"There was no chance of the album sounding like that. I'd completely had it with melody. I just wanted rhythm. All melodies to me were pure embarrassment."

Its pretty ridiculous how batman just starts assaulting him and doesnt even give him a chance to explain anything. That whole movie would have been over if Bruce would have just met with Clark and talked it out.

I honestly loved BvS, but when the actual fight took place it lost a lot of cool points. Overall 7/10.

Simple. They make money. But only when done right.

Honestly, what was the last big brand name blockbuster remake that made money or was considered done right by fans of the original? All of them that I know seem to fall in box office and/or reviews.

Meshuggah seems a little out of place for that list lol

Metal is my favourite genre, so i like the most bands from it. This means all of my listens in Metal are spread more evenly between a larger set of artists than in all other genres.

The pilot kicked ass [although](/s " she may have murdered her crew...") EDIT: Spoiler tag by request

I've read the book, so it's no skin off my nose, but that's a bit of a hefty spoiler.

As a fun little experiment, I called my wife over to read this page. I said nothing except to ask her to read it and give me her opinion. Her exact words "What is this girl power bullshit? Why is femthor not wailing on her? When did Comic books turn into women's empowerment rags?"

Yeah, it's extremely obviously bad. I have no fucking clue how anyone wrote that and didn't jump off a bridge.. Much less how anyone edited it and thought "yep, this is good".

Anytime I tell someone that I like Kanye West's music, they always say "But he's such a douche!!" True, but what does that have to do with his music? There are plenty of other musicians who make great music but are complete assholes

I might be going against reddit's opinion, but many people say that thom yorke is over serious and rude. But radiohead is great music.

Warez. Now that is a word I haven't heard since my days on EFNet.

Is Warez like a more hardcore version of Limewire? Never heard of it.

>Company listens to consumers who wouldn't mind a thicker device for extended battery life. Great news!

Ha won't stop the folks that request ultra lites because 1.5lbs is hurting their tiny arms. Yet complain when their laptop doesn't make it though a flight.

I still much prefer Casino Royale over Skyfall. The Home Alone booby trap part really put me off. Non-related edit: Just noticed I unintentionally wrote the symmetrical words "trap part"!

They're both amazing. That's just my personal opinion. I love the way the story expands in Skyfall with the introdction of interesting supporting cast (Miss Moneypenny, Q, Mallory) . Is one of the most gorgeous films thanks to Roger Deakins. And "I love that Home alone booby trap" because of the preparation and the calm before the storm stuff. Javier Bardem is a beast, scary and dangerous. Though I preffer Lechiffre (His style and... is fucking Mads Mikkelsen). That's what I want about sequels: Expansion of the plot, character development(Loved the damaged Bond) and Improvement in technical aspects.

Didn't like it aswell. I don't know if I should watch In Bruges...

you definitely should. It's concisely written, it doesn't drag on like SP

That's so not true. That Comic Con **FIRST LOOK** wasn't meant to be released. And that fun Bohemian Rhapsody trailer was released like 2 months before BvS. And reshoots started like one week after BvS, there's no way they decided to reshoot a movie and schedule it with the actors in just one week after BvS' bad reception. Don't you know how logistics work? It's not that easy to reshoot a movie, it takes time.

Ayer has been saying that the film has a lot of humor in it since that teaser was first leaked.

I thought that was always the case. I remember them having that 30 days thing back in 2007 or something like that.

I remember when they had competition from megaupload, it made everyone a decent file sharing site. Now, with MU gone, and Mega performing great, Rapidshit has no features to offer in a free or paid sub that interests anyone anymore.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's rare for a work of art to grab my soul but *Her* accomplished it.

Watched it again last night, even better than the first time.

Seriously, where are all these fucking idiots that care about how thin their phone is above all else? Because I'd like to club them all in the head.

I have an iPhone 6 and its battery is more than enough for me. U mad?

I used to love BTTF3. But then I noticed the gaping plot hole. And I can't get over it. It's like noticing Shannon Doherty's eyes.

>It's like noticing Shannon Doherty's eyes. Alright, I got curious and looked it up. Am I seeing this right ? Her left eye is higher up on her face than the right one, right ?

>I believe he is a hardcore Wrestlemania fan, and you just broke the news that wrestling isn't real. Jesus Christ, do you people not know how stupid you come across to anyone who has watched wrestling in the last 15 years? It's not only no longer a secret, or an issue for fans, WWE talks openly about it on it's programming. They used to have a non-kayfabe WWE magazine.

Dude, it's a joke, holy shit. Wrestling fans will always be joked about in this context. LIVE WITH IT.

That engineer has also failed to appreciate how little Google cares about who you have worked for previously

Yep, plus, people working in hiring at Google have almost certainly heard of Zenefits. While Uber may have a $40B valuation, Zenefits is at $4.5B, though Zenefits may not be a household name since it's mostly an HR product, it's definitely not unknown. Young engineer here could have looked at Zenefits as an opportunity to make a bigger impact on a smaller team.

Google spreadsheet doesn't hold a candle to Excel though. For minimal work, like tracking my budget, saving online receipts with IFTT, and sharing sortable lists, it's great. But I use some power user functionality in Excel that I would sorely miss without it. I keep both on my phone; Google for sharing, office for personal or work documents.

People always say this, and they are always so vague. What features are missing that you can't do with Google?

The scene with Moranis hovering over the garden in his makeshift harness probably would have happened differently. Love John Candy though, Who's Harry Crumb was one of my favouite films when I was a kid.

Sadly, this was my first thought as well..."there's no way John Candy would be hovering over the backyard...".

Wow, a blog. So impressive. If this were any more than bullshit it would be in a reputable peer reviewed journal. But the author is either a liar or an incompetent, so it is in a blog instead

Ha. Can't refute the data, so you attack the messenger. Cowardly

I think Mechanical animals is a great album. Coma White, the last day on Earth. After that, yes, turds. I remember waiting for over 2 hours in Belgium for a MM show to begin (the tour with the "Mickey Mouse" black thing at the end). And the show lasted exactly 1h and 8 minutes. I vowed this was the last time he'd ever get my money.

Was that the tour with the three giant Mickey Mouse heads in the background? Saw that show in '00 I think. I wasn't impressed, he talked about a bunch of drug induced fantasies in between sings and made sure the audience saw his butt as much as possible.

ya for sure spin is fucking stupid. and very wise decision indeed.

Especially the part where he bought the issues. I assume he also sent photos of the blaze to Spin with a letter expressing wheat he thought of the magazine. Wise, indeed.
