"There is a crapload of waste in the defense department, "
I hear that; but whenever an example comes up, it's bullshit; usually a person not understanding something, or an outright lie.
I'm not saying there isn't 'waste', but I have yet to see real waste. I have yet to see any Federal program have more waste the the private sector. I mean, holy crap.
No they don't. In fact, a lot of cases they are better.
Great, you list movied for 5-10 year old, and 12-19 year olds. There are other movies out of hollywood.
And The 70's , 80s, 90s, on 00 were are full of crap titles. presumable prior to that but I wasn't going to movies yet.
For the record, I like superhero movies; there are a lot of tales that can be shown through that genre.
"Green Lantern was hokey, even for comic-book standards." therefor all comic book movies are hokey?
There we a couple of excellent movies, and bunch of fun movies, and a lot of mediocre movies..just like always.
You also ignore the fact that you aren't the only person in the freaking world. Do I want to see the Alvin moviees? No. will there be any surprises in it? no.
Not for me..however my daughter will enjoy it, and there will be surprises for her because shes not old enough for things to have become cliche`
Best case: the ocean will be 25 feet higher in 75 years.
However In wouldn't count on it, because every year the ice sheet is melting faster then predicted.
If you studied glacier 100 years ago, you would see almost no change through your career. If you started 20 years ago you have see dramatic changes, and your career would only be about half way done.
we need to stop burnig fossile fuels. Nuclear and SOlar can do that.
The only really massive change that needs to happen is people need to drive smaller vehicles, for shorter duration. Some thing that will get better with battery design improvements. which in the US is a big deal. But too bad.. I say that as someone who loves driving, love V8 engines and love going really fast.
But that time needs to end. Frankly, I would ban any SUV or large truck unless it is used commercially. I would put some strict regulations and rules on 'commercially'. Selling Avon door to door wouldn't count, for example.
I wouldn't take anyone SUV away, but I wouldn't let them buy a new one.
While also moving 100 million people around the world inland, and all at the last minute because deniers keep blocking any effort to plan for it and make it an orderly transition.
It was promised to be delivered before XMas... so it's not unreasonable to want the controller by XMas. Even that, all he initially wanted was an actual ETA. The customer was not out of line in any way.
Yes, but it isn't passed through eating, it's past from living next to each other and 'sharing' wet sources. Meaning, some disease from an animal gets on a person hand, and then they tough there nose or eyes.
The give an extremely small amount of antibiotics. something like 1/100 th of a dose. 90% of which is peed out. This kills bugs in the animals gut. Then the animal absorbs more food. There is NO TRACE in any meat when processed.
When an animal is sick, it is isolated, given proper doses, and has to be without antibiotics. If memory serves, 3 months isolation. Isolation may also mean several animals who might be sick.
Sure, anything you obtain illegally is free. I think the base underlying assumption is for people who don't break the law.
" Life's too short." especially if you are slaving away 16 hours a day for a 3 bucks so some spoiled law breaking jack ass can save 10 bucks on a laptop.
You sir, ARE the problem.
You are not the only person in the world, but you seem to be a sociopath.
I simply do not care about 'pirating' software. Why should I?
"For one the game development costs could be funded by a group of buyers who pay a monthly fee for the output of a set of developers." that doesn't work for the first release, only for ongoing costs. Irrelevant to the single player market.
"Their games range from slightly buggy to unplayable at release time and generally take 3 or 4 patches to get to what I would consider a reasonable state. and that's why their games are free? no wait.
Yes, each copy does have a direct attached cost. One the is determined by the IP owner, That can be free, or it can be a million dollars.

Well maybe you should select good movies? I challenge you to fine 1(one) year without any good movies.
Both,. good as in a well made well written well acted movie or Good as in Fun eye candy.
" modern TV is most of the experience for cheaper per movie
no it's not. Not even close
I mean., you PAUSE the movie. The completely ruins the movie experience.
Which is fine, but don't delude yourself it's the same thing.
I go reasonable often, and it's almost never been a problem. but I go at odd times.
No they don't. In fact, a lot of cases they are better.

Clueless troll is clueless.

and I get to be sick at the +1 mod to stupid ignorant statements.
No, the proper spelling is FDA.
There is no 'Government'. There are many groups with different goals and responsibilities that are part of the government.

The dose is far too low to create a 'superbug'.
Correct. The single data point is, essentially, weather; whoever how does it fit into the trend? how does it fit into the predicted model?
Those are the climate questions.
Oh look, it's worse the predictions and fits into the overall trend.
You know they account for that right? no? shut up.
You know when the 'questionable'* station were removed, the same average temperature were seen, right? no? shut up.
Fucking ignorant people like who who seem to think there ignorant opinion has the same weight as actual experts is a bane to civilization.
*only questionable to people at the top of 'stupid mountain'
Is Google an English company? no? Fuck you.
company, as such they remove American offensive gestures.
Someone has to create civility.

HINT: there are bad European coffees as well. Nice attempt to look sophisticated though.

Yes, each copy does have a direct attached cost. One the is determined by the IP owner, That can be free, or it can be a million dollars.
it's 'low cost', not 'no cost'.
It deprive the creator of money to buy things.
What people seem to miss is that the way things recoup cost is buy getting a little money from a lot of widgets.
Not that developers should be forced to charge if they don't want to. That's just absurd.
You make a fine argument for why copying isn't stealing, but that's a different subject.
It's called 'rain' look it up.
It does cost something to make, and that cost is amortized over purchases.
copy is more accurate the reproducing.
