    Porno movies don't cost ten or hundreds of millions to make, and don't employ dozens to hundreds of people to create.

    They had the Super Hornet. It was available. It was perfect for the Navy and Marines, and most foreign use such as Canada. The F35 sales pitch was bullshit, and they fell for it.

    The F-35 is silly. The Navy and Marines need the Super Hornet, not a 35-style does nothing well plane. Canada bought into the 35 sales pitch, and our CF18s are dying in the field with nothing to replace them. Again, the 18E/F wouldn't been perfect and available NOW.

    Or not. I'm sorry, I don't trust kick starter campaigns. I don't donate to them, nor would I ever. .

    I've donated to a bunch of Kickstarters, and received what I pledged for each time. What's the big deal?

  12. Re:ooh ive played this game before. on Cable Companies Duped Community Groups Into Fighting Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    I also think smoking is a right, in the more general case that I believe people should be permitted to mutilate their bodies however they wish, at whatever personal expense they wish.

    You do NOT have a "right" to smoke.
    You have the right to CHOOSE to engage in risky behaviour.
    Do not conflate the two, as they are not the same thing.

  13. Re: while we're bitching about cable companies.. on Cable Companies Duped Community Groups Into Fighting Net Neutrality · · Score: 3, Informative

    The "500 channel universe" of niche channels didn't pan out. The History Channel is now about pawn shops. There's simply not enough actual original content to supply the number of channels out there by genre, and certainly not enough money to start making those shows.

    It's also a different type of firearm. Shotguns and hunting rifles are not the same as a handgun.

    When I was a kid, my mom was driving me to school one day, and someone had spraypainted the word "breast" onto the bottom of a "Squeeze Left" sign. She pointed it out to me and we had a good chuckle.

    So, Random Inc, you bought 4chan last week. What does it feel like to support child molesters, beastiality, rape, suicide, and other obscene acts?

    I mean, their choices would be to moderate the community(in which case the community would vanish), or to acknowledge and remain laissez-faire to the fact that 4chan hosts a hoard of illegal content.

    Oh, so Reddit?

    Back in the film days, people didn't take thousands of pictures. Best thing to do with digital is sort through them and only keep a few meaningful ones, and print them out on archival paper.
