I think you are the idiot in this case. For one, you don't have a very firm grasp of grammar. Combine that with the fact that he DID mention screeners, you fucking dolt, you look even more stupid. He said the "format" is tape or DVD. Just graduate from the third grade or something? Reading comprehension not up to par with the other kindergarteners? So sorry.... for your parents.
> > the Screeners, of course, were some of the better quality ones because they came from a preview tape or DVD

Since you didn't specify "movie title," there is a Pink Floyd song called "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict."
> A job isn't a possession, or even a lifelong entitlement;
What, I'm not entitled to a new Jaguar every year? I live in America, everything should be handed to me!
Excellent point, which I think is near to a (the) pivotal issue in this. Free Market: companies have the choice to take their business where they want. We have the choice to not purchase from them, and explain to others why we made the choice that we did (but NOT to TELL them what their choice should be).
I don't get the joke... Wait, you were being serious? You're new here, aren't you? (Hey, if you're going to start with a cliched joke intro, I'm going to finish with a different one!)
> Could it be dew? How much did the temperature of those airbags change?
Regardless of temperature change, for dew to appear, there must be water in the atmosphere to condense. We are fairly sure there is no (very little?) water in the air on Mars.
True, but if we don't know the laws completely, your statement doesn't mean anything. We can't be sure we have it down perfectly (we're pretty sure that we don't, actually).
> I'm French. You know, the country of over-paid, whining, striking, snail-eating people.
You eat snails? I thought that was just a stereotype.;)
> we realized that our steel and coal industries were simply not viable any more
In the U.S. I live in a place called West Virginia, which is the heart of our country's Coal and Steel production, so this is very informative for me. This area is hurting badly because of the dropoff in steel. One of the big purchasers of coal is steel companies, to power their furnaces. So it makes sense that the two industries go hand-in-hand, and when one fails, the other suffers.
So my question is what was it that made it no longer viable? Maybe reduced demand? If so, where did the new steel come from? As to coal, was this due to power coming from other sources, such as nuclear? Or did profit margins become so slim that it was unwise to continue? If you don't know the answers, it's okay, I was just curious how we might get through this easier and what kinds of things to look for (not that they'd listen to answers if I had them, I have no say of course).

> I would imagine that there would probably be separate arenas
Too bad you post at zero, because that was a good point.
> In general, doesn't corrode==oxidize
Couldn't something be corroded by sand whipping across it? Of course, it more commonly means oxidizing, but it doesn't have to.
> Bruning is the process of fast oxidation. Some things "burn" in chlorine,
Doesn't the name "oxidation" imply that oxygen is necessary? I'll agree that some things may corrode without it, but oxidize?
> Am I totally uncool for thinking it strange that [...] measurements are given only in degrees
Yes. And since you thought up that question at all, you were probably uncool beforehand as well. (j/k, I dunno)

> I say the producers of "Gigli" should get the chair!
He was right. What are you smoking to think that Gigli was mediocre? That would insinuate there were much worse films last year.

A Pirdon (Pardon). If you donated a lot of money to Clinton's campaign, that is!

... on the surface. The animals could be underground, but then so would the bacteria, so your conclusion still stands.
Maybe if they buried the corpse...

Pamela Anderson?

A computer virus doesn't look like anything. Draw a picture of one.

That's it: just "Earth, Wind, and Fire." They kick ass.

I live off Red Rocks... I prefer Black Tar, though.

Sometimes, but not this time! (j/k)

Actually, beer would NOT be good with desert. It dehydrates you even more.

:) It's fine as long as the point gets across: it did.
Nah, just more worried about the point of a joke than the specifics, which is fine.

Are you all dense, or just partially?

> Opponents of global markets are basically isolationists with feeble minds and short-term thinking
:)
Of course my initial reaction is to agree with you. The only thing missing is the modifier "most." There are also those who are just ignorant.
> but they should also tell the consumer about those restrictions
Oh, I agree completely. This is a very bad move on Adobe's part, IMO. All I'm saying is that they have the right to do it. Not that it IS right.
