    Absolutely fantastic movie to watch. Not like this no soul drivel we get from Hollywood.

    Hell I'm betting in god time we haven't even made it out of the first few minutes of the 8th day.

    We rescue these morons.

    Honestly, Evolution is getting reversed because we save the "stupid" from getting killed. The news covers the death of a moron as "a tragedy" instead of , "and there's at least another idiot we dont have to deal with anymore"

    Our society encourages Stupidity because the risk of death is reduced or removed. Let these idiots die, leave their bodies there as a warning to others.

    usually demanded by sexually depraved individuals. The most anti-sex people are at their core highly perverted.

    Honestly EVERYTHING commanded by any religion about sex is only there to control the population.

    "God HATES you for masturbating..." What a fucking horrible thing to say to a child, yet it is said daily in almost every single house of worship across this planet. (I know there are some relatively less twisted religions out there, but they are not common). Humans by NATURE are sexual beings. It's by the warping of the human mind and abuse we make people afraid of sex or even hate sex. Sexual abuse, Emotional Abuse, plain old teaching kids lies, manipulation, etc....

    If ANY religion teaches hate, then it is not real, It's nothing but made up by man, designed only for the control others through shame and coercion.

    I'm certain I'll be modded into oblivion as I'm speaking out against religion. Disclaimer: I am a Christian, and I utterly despise the fear, uncertainty and doubt that other Christians preach.

    you haven't needed this for well over a decade.

    DAT recording has given the garage band studio quality for a long time. Even the higher end sony MiniDisc units from the 90's recorded great and had manual level settings. a cheap mixer and a PC with a soundcard and you are set to go for CD quality and editing the audio.

    I helped a band record a AAD Album that sounded better than a pro RIAA recording in 1995 with a DAT recorder recording from 4 microphones into 4 audio tracks. it sounded amazing. and we recorded it in a basement with blankets on the walls and ceiling at 2am to get rid of the traffic low frequency component.

    Not really. many MANY Nokia phones have FM radios in them, even with RDS. It's simply the engineers of the other phones being too lazy to add it, or in the case of the iphone fitting 12 pounds of stuff in a 4 pound bag.

    The other problem is that the reception performance of these FM recievers in phones utterly sucks. they are in a nasty RF environment and have the sensitivity of a block of concrete. Only local strong stations come in.

    In the case of smartphones.... why. I get pandora and last.fm as well as sirius streaming app on my iphone.
