I was a hoarder. For me, I guess what happened was that my broadband capacity finally reached a point in which I feel comfortable with stuff being in the cloud. If I wanted to watch Star Trek six years ago on my 800Kbps connection, I'd have to torrent every episode. Then I'd burn discs because, in case I wanted to watch again, I didn't want to go through the trouble of redownloading everything - it took days. Now Netflix and Youtube mean that a lot of what I want is permanently (and readily, thanks to a 35Mbps connection) available and I have no reason to hoard anymore, so my torrenting has decreased a lot. Steam sales and Humble Bundles also meant I have essentially stopped pirating (except for good titles with annoying DRM, like Bioshock 2) - I just give it a year of two for games to come to a reasonable price and leave my library on the cloud. I think that's what happened to a lot of people - and, in third world countries, quite recently.
Amazing how suddenly there's a problem because of heath.
Unless you're talking about The Dark Knight, you may have misspelled.
The things that happen here at NSA really have national and world ramifications.
"Are you a douche? Well, why not be a douche at a global scale?"
Well, YMMV on what constitutes an appropriate response. Me, I'd just swap the original logo for something like this: https://twitter.com/voodooKobra/status/398602765405917185/photo/1
No, OMG! Ubuntu! seems to not have been targeted. Then again, they don't use the Ubuntu logo for their site, only to illustrate specific stories. Wouldn't make a difference to me, but I can see how lawyers would make a distinction.
So true. I haven't seen anything to like on new FF titles since FFX. And X wasn't a good game by any means, it just had a cool world and a somewhat cool twist to the story. Characters, combat, dungeons, exploration all sucked, and terrible voice actors were there to cripple your enjoyment at every corner. The last FF I'd actually replay is 9.
Sure it can! But so can the PS3, and yet...
They are under NDA. IIRC, Motorola called their bluff and Microsoft never even sued.
Fine, what term would you use? Gay hating? And what about his racist views?
Homophobe is still fine in that case. Remember - fear is what leads to anger, then anger to hate...
It's so highly regarded because a bunch of people regard it as highly regarded. Look at other epic trash like Shakespeare or Verne (The Time Machine is horrible--it's basically a ginormous run-on paragraph).
Yes, Verne's The Time Machine is absolute trash. H. G. Wells's remake is much better though, you should check it out.
Firstly, homophobic is a ridiculous word -- inaccurate as hell. You can be against homosexuality (generally due to religious beliefs) and not have a phobia about it.
Well, the word actually paints homophobes in a positive light. After all, attacking people due to fear is more understandable than attacking them due to merely disliking their choices that hold no relation to your life at all.
Describing Lynch's Dune as the "Picard version" was a hell of lot funnier than the Hitchhiker's movie. That particular version of Dune is terrible, by the way. I have never read the books, but the TV version is amazingly better in every aspect. From the top of my head, problems with Lynch's Dune were the ridiculous voice-activated weapons that dramatically underplayed the importance of desert tactics, making Paul's force the technologically superior one. Characters aren't fleshed out enough. Either Paul is not age appropriate or everything happens too fast. Raining in the end didn't make ANY sense. The voice overs really don't work. Paul's powers are never explained, he ends up more like Akton from Star Crash in that regard than some sort of jedi or something like he should. In fact, between the two, Star Crash as the best movie.
-1 Troll is wrongful moderation, indeed. Should be -1 Lazy.
I was going to give it a try, but I just realized I'd have no idea how to explain operating systems and distributions to a five-year-old. Ask again when you're at least 12.
What good is a ticket to the good life, if you can't find the entrance?
