    (Game company exec) I don't like how this jello keeps slipping out of my hands. every time I tighten my grip more slips out of my fingers. Obviously I'm not gripping tight enough...

    Also, all the references to Fahrenheit 451 can suck my big left one. That was a boring movie.

    Never judge a book by its movie.

    MPAA says this will cost the entertainment industry billions of dollars every year.

    Trillions of dollars every day! Won't you think of the children of the entertainment company lawyers who may never see thier parent because they are working 24/7 too protect the poor defenseless movie companies and the billions of americans who will loose thier jobs for each of these drives that are sold!

    It's much better to see kids die horrible deaths than to hear the F word a few times. (see the controversy over the R rating for "Bully")

    I'd kill for some mod points right now. Hell, I'd buy Disney DVDs for mod points right now...

    No need. I have a 7 year old daughter so I buy Disney DVDs on a regular basis. The sad thing is one look at her bedroom proves that if they never got a dime from thier movies they would still make a fortune on merchandising.

  8. Re:Thespians on Pay the TSA $100 and Bypass Airport Security · · Score: 1

    Secuity theater has been on the decline from comedy to tragedy for a while. Now it is simply a farce. It is about control and money and the illusion of security.

    The TSA should receive an award. Is there a Golden Raspberry equivalent to a Tony award?

    So copying a Michael Jackson song potentially caries a greater penalty than killing him.

    Land of the "free with the purchase of any congressman".

  11. AT&T isn't really advertising falsely, the data is unlimited. The speeds are limited.

    Which means the data is effectively limited as well. If you sell "unlimited plans" and then throttle speeds to the point where downloading 24/7 for a month will only net y ou 1GB of data, that's not very unlimited is it?

    So by that bizarre logic, you're suggesting that ATT is legally obligated to ensure they can sustain 100% of theoretically possible 3G bandwidth at every possible location in their network where there is any viable signal at all?

    Henry Ford sold model Ts "in any color as long as it's black". If AT&T sold model Ts they would be available "in any color" with the "as long as it's black" burried under 25 pages of legalese.

    That apple pie has rounded corners, it's probably in violation of one or more design parents from a certian computer company whose name I can't seem to remember at this time.

    I remember arguing with my geometery teacher years ago, she kept saying pie are squared. I can't recall ever seeing a square pie. (Cobbler perhaps but never a square pie.)

  16. Re:so it begins on California To Join Nevada With Rules For Autonomous Cars · · Score: 1

    I'm not saying I disagree with you, but when you see a car with no person in the driver's seat, you don't expect it to move. Until people have time to adjust to seeing cars drive themselves, it could be a legitimate safety issue. I wouldn't have an issue with it being banned at first, at least until the majority of cars on the road can be used driverlessly and there can be a switchover.

    They will have an inflatable "driver" when the drivers seat is unoccupied like with Will Smith's car in "Men in Black 2".

    So, as a simple and immediate solution to this problem, we only need to send half of obese American women to Europe in exchange for thin European women.

    APPROVED!

    As a result Europe has declared war on the US. Except the Greeks, who are in even worse financial shape than the US. France surrendered before the declaration of war was formally declared.

    Freedom of the press is an illusion, has been for a long time now.

    Freedom of the press is reserved for those who have one, and most of the press is controlled by a few companies which also just happen to be the big content companies.

    No. The license they pay fore comes with a public interest cause attached. They knew that when they bid on it.
