Yeah. I don't really dislike superhero movies, but honestly the constant stream of super avenger-men movies made the whole thing kind of boring. It's like when all games were WW2 FPSes, except worse because Nazis are more interesting than comic book villains.
I neither like nor dislike movies about ponies. I like good movies. Is there a good movie about ponies? If so, I may watch it. I remember kind of liking "Black Stallion" when we saw it in the theater, but that was no pony. Looking forward to hearing your pony film recommendation.
People who reject content based off of arbitrary genre preferences are a burden to themselves and others. I don't believe that prior to Firefly, you would have said, "I'm really wanting another Western." You don't like superheroes you say, and I call bullshit. You just don't want to be lumped in with liking something that's become mainstream. Get over it.
We have apparently forgotten that exclusive apps happen. If the most awesome value prop for an app in the world is on Tizen, then there will be a Tizen market.
If they just unlocked the bootloader on the rest of their phones and encouraged people to download and try Tizen on their formerly-android phones, it could grow the ecosystem fast.
Just market it as a "now with no google spyware" phone, and I think many will go for it.

I'm seeing a whole line of Atari cereals, and a competing line of Mattel Electronics Intellicereals. Maybe get Alan Alda and George Plimpton's faces on the boxes to keep the kids away from Dad's stuff.
Have you been living under a rock? Austin is the #1 fastest growing city in the country, and it is often referred to as "the new silicon valley." Texas has 4 of the 10 largest cities and 2 of the 5 largest metropolitan areas by population in the United States.
No one easier to wind up than a Texan. Austin or Houston, they go down real easy.
When the program started, we all thought we working on a way to help the injured be able to learn again. But things have been heading a different direction lately. We have a meeting later, those who agree with us. Don't tell Nyder.

I confess, I had to look that up. My comment was probably more incendiary than necessary, largely because of my irritation with the presumption of the phrase "If you'll just stop and think for a moment." Nonetheless, I find the web hosting plug in the sig spammy. Does this mean we aren't friends anymore?
If you'll just stop and think for a moment, you'll realize that people aren't smashing down 44oz of sugar. They're drinking 44 fluid ounces of a soft drink, sweetened with sugar and/or high-fructose corn syrup. I agree with your basic idea that the US shouldn't try to be a nanny state, but I think that your point comes across better without the mistake.
I've stopped and thought. I realized I am not interested in this subject, and that your correction of exomondo's post is little more than an excuse to post something. How's that web hosting business you're spamming your sig line coming?
Ultra64, are you expecting us to believe that you genuinely don't understand the fears of those in this forum who oppose your optimistic view of the way data collected on customers of these services will be used? Or are you just baiting and enjoying the argument? If the former, you are one interesting character, and the conversation should proceed. If the latter, you're a troll, and fun as it may be, we should all stop feeding you.
called "Google Private", where they take a subscription fee from you for services and in return, they send noise data to their marketing customers about you while providing you with a list of all entities that make user-specific queries about you.
>It's a laptop that happens to have a detachable keyboard.
Well, duh. Every Windows tablet is a laptop with a detachable keyboard.
Well, duh! Every observation is obvious when you're repeating it with the words "Well, duh!" in front of it. Let's face it, everybody knows that. Aren't you glad you contributed to the thread?
That novel was nothing but a gimmick, with the stupid writing style changing as he got smarter. The plot was lame and predictable. Glad to see he won't be producing anymore shitty novels in this world.
Hello, flamebait. When you die, your comments will not be missed. This reply is the most use your life has ever served. Give to the poor now while you still can.
:) That is funny. The reason I was calling your take on Mi's post "creepy" is because I think the notion of an ordained state-run party of scientists and their opinions is scary, even if they are large enough to make up a "vast majority". It sounds like some kind of whitecoat Spanish Inquisition.

I agree. As soon as Chrome lists the standard Java updater as malware too, I will believe this point as an argument against my point.

Still? Amongst the folks I work with, Chrome is dead. Listing uTorrent as malware was the straw that broke the camel's back. So, Adblock Plus FTW!

It's not revisionist. The Axis actually won.
Nice!

Darn it! Toe the line. Toe the line. HOLD THE LINE!!!!!!!
Me do speak English.
When the ISP is forcibly shown who their real customers are, they will tow the line. Nice marketing play, though.

Think about it... A good algorithm should be smart enough to filter out unwanted content such as ads :)
I'm thinking about it. Does it filter out product placement? Does Rocky still buy the chicken?
Scintillate, Scintillate, Diminutive Stellar Orb,
How inexplicable to me it seems the stupendous problem of your existence.
Elevated at such an immeasurable distance in an apparently perpendicular direction from this terrestrial planet which we occupy,
Resembling in thy dazzling and unapproachable effulgence, a gem of purest carbon set solitaire in a university of space.
