Comment Re:Pay per pixel? (Score 1) 347

When downloading, I always get the SD stuff unless it is a scifi show. And hard drive space is cheap.

I do the same when deciding whether to purchase an bluray movie or dvd.

I can definently see the difference when contrasting the to, but if I never see the show in HD, I am willfully ignorant of what I am missing.

Firefly was good. Angel and Buffy early seasons were good as well (although I do agree that Angel was at it's best with Tim Minear at the helm.)

Dollhouse was terrible. It was terrible for many reasons but the biggest was because it had so much potential to be more than it was. The TV show Marvel is pretty bad as well.

Cabin in the Woods was clever marketing. It's great to make the type of movie that if someone doesn't like it, you can just say that they didn't get it. I liked it but not the end (and yes, I understood the point of the ending and all the wonderful metaphors involved.)

Nah, Dennis miller is a conservative former comedian. Back when he was still doing comedy, it was pretty centrist, with the social aspect leaning a bit to the left.

After 9/11 made him shit his pants, he started being conservative, and stopped being a comedian, opting to move his "big words and obscure references" style into punditry, where it works about as well as you might expect.

He is still to the left on social issues (abortion, gay marriage, etc.)

And moreover, if Mozilla hired a CEO who said that women shouldn't be allowed to vote, and that black people should be returned to slavery, is it wrong to call for a boycott?

As much as the religionists try to spin it, Prop 8 isn't much different.

You really do not see much difference between not giving a marriage licence versus slavery and denying people the right to vote?

The fact that most people who are against gay marriage are for gay civil unions, it seems to definitely be one driven by religious beliefs.

You really can't compare denying someone a marriage certificate is anywhere near the same ballpark as denying someone the right to vote / ride in the front of the bus / use the same drinking fountains, etc. Especially when the civil union would give the same legal protections as marriage.
