Speed Racer tanked at the box office anad critics hated it... But the movie is a joy and beautiful to watch. It is probably my favorite live action anime remake. The Wachowski's did a bang up job on this film. The Fall (2007) with Lee Pace is an amazing film that no one knows about. Trasem made the film outside of hollywood and had a crazy limited release. When I first say this film, I was struck by the beauty and the acting and the Story within a story theme. I immediately rewatched it just to study the beauty and cinematography then looked it up on IMDB to see what awards it had won. It wasn't even nominated for any oscars. If you haven;t seen this, watch it.

I hope it's like Ryan's WUPHF app. :-)

I'm a teacher. 24/7 is an office hour for me. Even when I am out of school, I receive emails/text about homework from parents and students. I have 125 high school students this year. As the administration pushes us to do more and more so that we can get our state scores up, I am increasingly helping students around the clock. hen I help students I talk them through on how to help them selves... But parents are the worst sometimes. They want justifications on various aspects of school... It is too inconvenient to converse or email during the work day while they are working... The district provides us with an email for the express reason of communicating with parent... If I, as a teacher, only answered these emails during my planning period, I wouldn't be able to do my planning/grading. I would also be given a lower evaluation from administrators and possible be let go if I am "deficient" in my role as an educator. I have to be available forthe students and parents. If I am not, a complaint to the administrator will be a mark against me.... It sucks.

Come on... Where was Japan. I figured they already given robots citizen ship.... 2nd Generation immigrants, No. Robots, yes.

Verison, you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I was chosen to be in their survey. Lucky me. I informed them that I have no TV (Haven't since 1984 - Go figure.) I still wanted to take part in the survey since I so use services like netflix, amazon, etc. THey refused to let me be part of their data gathering... The days of regular media are gone. Nielsen refuses to let it go so they can perpetuate the importance of advertisers.

A Windows 10 update removed ALL of the graphics drivers for my son's GTX-1080. This despite trying to block them as much as possible.

Fortunately it was a small matter for the tech-savvy kid to reinstall them, and if not, I could have managed, but imaging if we had been clueless consumers spending significant cash on a gaming PC, that Microsoft now "broke".

I think the next time it happens I will send them a bill for our time: I consult at $350 an he at $175 an hour.

Decades old. Heh, I work in a place these days where the code (mostly C and C++) has roots in Fortran. The database APIs (all homegrown, natch, since SQL didn't exist 'then') are, er, interesting, and unless you've experienced unstructured Fortran, you won't understand WHY things are the way they are.

Clearly someone who has not experienced APL, wherein one can invert a matrix in three keystrokes, one of which is a backspace: quad, backspace, divide; also known as "quad-divide" or "domino". What? You don't have a quad key on your keyboard?

It's good to see Coyboy neal take a spot at the polls. Didn;t vote for him, but it's good to see him.

I wish I could vote for "Spy on the neighbors" and then "Expose toxic waste dumping or similar." Them bastards are poluting my creek!
