  2. Re: Roads belong underground on Next Big Thing From Elon Musk? It Could Be 'Boring' (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    The problem with LA is that mass transit can't work. As cars became more prevelant, there became more sprawl, and mass transit simply couldn't work.

    If you take Manhattan as an example, it has under 60km^2 of land and, let's say, 240 subway stops, or 4 stops per km^2 of land. Plus it has major business districts (think "downtown") where millions of people work.

    Los Angeles has over 1200km^2 of land, requiring about 5,000 subway stops to have the same density. It's hard to imagine how LA could have an equivalent quality of service to Manhattan while having to be 20x the size.

    dom

    Counterpoint: Melbourne in Australia has 9,990km^2 of land, and there's very few places you can't get to by public transport. Granted, this includes trains (a few stops are underground, most above ground), trams and buses.

    I went to download jDownloader a few days ago and ran it through virustotal.com which returned 5+ potential hits for trojans / malware. That put me off enough to not bother with it.

    His dreams were the inspiration for much of his work apparently. From Wikipedia: "Giger suffered from night terrors and his paintings are all to some extent inspired by his experiences with that particular sleep disorder."

    RIP.

    There actually is a new season (or two?) planned, as well as a new movie due out in April

    In October 2012, Barrie Dunn officially announced a third Trailer Park Boys film. Filming began in March 2013 and ended in late April. The film is set to be released in Canadian theaters on April 18th, 2014.

    On July 4, 2013, it was announced that Tremblay, Wells and Smith acquired the rights to Trailer Park Boys and confirmed it would return with an eighth season. It may not air on television, but on their website, SwearNet.com. Principal production took place from July-September 2013, back on location in an existing mobile home community in Truro, Nova Scotia.

    In late September 2013, Mike Smith announced on the SwearNet Facebook page that the cast and crew had also returned to the location in September to shoot content for two new specials, that Season 9 had been "rough cut" into ten episodes, and that SwearNet was seeking network deals in addition to its plans to webcast the new material.

    On December 27th 2013, Smith confirmed on Twitter that a ninth season will go into production in Spring 2014.

  8. Re:More publishers need to follow this example on WB To Appeal Australia's Effective Ban on Mortal Kombat · · Score: 1

    Sorry to break the news to you, but the fact that you "don't know" of something means very little. Manunt was originally given an M-15 rating but the AG of the time appealed (not the game publisher) and it was then refused classification. No appeal was made. Postal 2 is a prime example of a game which was refused classification and was not appealed. Reservoir Dogs was again refused classification and not appealed.
