The music certainly MADE the movie. It was a epic choice, Bravo for Disney using music from a non-sellout bubblegum artist. Maybe this is a sign of the corporation leadership changing from their conquer, destroy, and vanilla-iz to maybe producing something with merit...
I dont share taco's love of the lightcycles. the Lightcycles they had in the movie in January for the technology preview were better. the "modified to match the toys" version in the final movie were nothing more than Could have been great, but I saw what they wanted before the marketing Executive got his grubby fingers in the pie, and they ruined them from what they were going to be.
Yup, so you cant complain when the only store you can shop at is Walmart.
Walmart can buy 8000X more volume than any other store can so they can undercut everyone.
Fortunately most american shoppers are horribly shallow and dont care most about price but trendyness..
Abercrombie torn up jeans at $150.00 and a Aercrombie Sweatshirt that is lower quality than a Fruit of the loom but says "ABVERCROMBIE" on it and costs $65.00 compared to $19.00 is far more important.
I gotta look like I have money.... Oh and can you drive? I need to let mt BMW 525 sit for a month as I'm close to being over miles on it's lease. And it lets the neighbors see I have a BMW.
Not completely, I watched some very smart and high IQ people de-volve over the past 2 years as they started to watch Fox news.
The only way I can explain the effect of Fox news on a person... It's like hitting yourself in the head. Once or twice is not so bad, but over and over and over day in and day out does really bad things to your brain.
Actually in that case, I grab all the weapons and ammo I have along with all the camping gear, throw it all in the small suzuki 4X4 an kill everyone at the nearest gas station so I can fill all the jerry cans I have, then drive as far north as I can to get away from civilization, find a nice hunting cabin in Canada and live there until most of society eat's it's self.
Then I can access my passwords from the thumb drive I keep in my anus.
The light cycles in the first technology demo trailer were all tires and looked awesome... then the latest ones show the lightcycles having a giant shroud over the wheels and can no longer turn tight like they should be able to.
Why did you compromise the movie just so marketing could be happy and the in movie stuff matches the fricking lame toys?
What else did Disney make you change to further take the movie away from what it could have been?
Yeah, I know.... but it is a stupid change that ruins the immersion of the movie.
go there and read, look at the winning and runner up entries... If you are a competent coder you can hide things right in front of someone and they will not spot it. It's scary as hell what some of these guys can do.
OF course not. such a coder would be easily spotted because they know what they are doing and produce clean code that works... This will stand out BIG TIME at Microsoft.
It works for the MOB and gangs... want a rival killed? start rumors they are working for the cops, fbi, are dirty and skimming from the boss, etc.. Keep it up and word wil spread and get back to his guys who end up "fixing the problem".
Works in the non-cime world as well. Sysadmin acting like a BOFH? start planting small rumors he is stealing or hacking from work. Want to put questions in the minds of people who might switch from windows? put out there a "rumor" that it has Government backdoors in it.
" Voyager has taken since 1977 to get where it is and is currently hitting 14km/s. At those speeds, dusts rips you apart let alone anything else (it's 50400 km/h or 31317 mph). It takes YEARS to accelerate to that speed even with a constant acceleration from a nuclear powered engine that has had to work, unattended, since before I was born."
Voyager has NO Thrust engines only attitude control. It's last acceleration was during a slingshot past the gas giants. It has had ZERO acceleration since 1979.
Also Voyager 1 and 2 have no problem with this rip me apart dust you seem to think is all over the place out there.
as for your claims of impossibility... So then Voyager 1,2, Viking, the Moon landings all were faked then? Because I'm asking for no more than doing what we did in the 70's but with current technology. It is very possible.
Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light years out. an ion engine being able to thrust for 20 years with a set of Gridded Electrostatic ion thrusters achieve 100 kNs/k and some have had 210 kNs/k but not tested in continuous operation for 3 years like the older ones. Designing a craft to have 20 years worth of fuel and Nuclear power is not hard at all we did it in the 70's. and that kind of acceleration would get the craft to a fraction of light speed. Even a 1KW transmitter can send back telemetry to earth at a 1 light year distance if you reduce the data rate and still have fuel to keep the antenna pointed home.
Granted giving it commands will be difficult, but we can make it smart so it can operate on it's own or with limited command needs.
All of it is doable because we already did the hard parts of it several times already.
Michigan solved that. Detroit traffic sucked... so they crashed the economy, over 50% of the people moved away and now Detroit highways are wonderful to drive on once again.
I'd love fios... they have been promising it in my tiny town of 580,000 for 4 years now. and with the sale off to Frontier... I dont think it will ever happen.

Sears buy online and click on "pickup at store". then drive to store and pick it up.
Metallic tint for the windows is better. Plus you will save money on HVAC

openID + verisign keyfob works great.
Problem is most banks and websites do not care at all about user security so they wont pay for it.
The judges know what they are doing.
Remember a Judge WAS a lawyer... and lawyers know who rubs their backs.
This episode of "wait wait, dont drill me was brought to you by BP..... We're sorry...."
Hello RoKu box and every bluray player with a netflix client in it runs linux.
They already made a linux client. They just have not released an APP for linux desktop users to use.
thepiratebay.org has plenty of copies.
TANK GIRL ROCKED!
find the tron legacy technology demo trailer. the lightcycles were even better before they did a stupid all around fender on them.
The light cycles in the first technology demo trailer were all tires and looked awesome... then the latest ones show the lightcycles having a giant shroud over the wheels and can no longer turn tight like they should be able to.

You dont realize how it is possible to hide evil code in front of someone's face..

FUD works great in all walks of life.
So you never played Urban Terror mod for Quake3?
That one gave an AWESOME GoldenEye feel with the ability to add in the dead=dead functionality and 16 players.
What they advertise is not countable. you Agree to and SIGN a contract that states it exactly, Why did you do a dumb thing and not read it?
Welcome to how business works in the United states. It's a legal Bait-and-switch. and is gonna get worse because the baying sheep keep lapping it up.

I have wanted that for years, but not a toll road but toll lanes. let me pay $8.00 to drive in the express lanes.

2X??
ISPs oversell by 5X-10X... I know I ran one as a Infrastructure director for 5 years. I had to get out because of how scumbaggy the whole business is.
They sold you unlimited? got the contract in hand that says that explicitly? you can sue them for a lot of cash.
If it's not in the contract, they did not promise you anything.
Almost NOBODY lives in a Fios area.
I'd love fios... they have been promising it in my tiny town of 580,000 for 4 years now. and with the sale off to Frontier... I dont think it will ever happen.
