Yeah, every other contentious subject in the world is a black-and-white case consisting only of one extreme versus another, so why should this be any different, right? Oh, wait...
However, there are still the headache problems, and the movie makers still exaggerating the effect, they are thinking 2d and adding a 3d effect to it.
Actually they're underplaying the effect, which is why this is better than the last time around. There's actually not that much range of depth in well-done 3D, but it's still more than enough for the brain to latch on to.
I saw some documentaries in IMAX about 10 years ago, with things flying right in front of your face and all the way back to near-infinity - very bad for the eyes. These days the effect is usually constrained very close to the true screen depth.
And yet there is no evidence of it ever being cut, or even shot, that way. Ever. It's one of those things which has seeped its way into people's memories and ends up getting remembered as fact. I used to have a perfect example from my own life, but ironically I can't remember what it was.
Numerous studies have shown how easy it is to plant false memories of events that occurred minutes ago, let alone decades.
We're talking about a world in which teenagers are being cited...
You're talking about that. I'm talking about disputing a declaration as fact that you would get a longer sentence than a child rapist for reporting the crime.
Under current law, if you saw someone raping a 9 year old and took a photo to send, using the internet, to the police as evidence, you would get longer in prison that the rapist.
would, or might possibly, if the law was applied unreasonably?
Considering you can go to prison for life for rape, I think your statement requires more justification. Can you possibly get life for transmitting CP, and would you actually get life for doing so in the course of reporting a crime?

It's all perfectly innocent. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vkw2DdoskPY (relevant bit at 2:00)

Man Campaigns For Addition of 'Th' Key To Keyboard
Man. Singular.
I think "Man Seeks Free Mention Of His Restaurant In Media" might have been a better headline.
Brown: greater than 1 in 2
Brown? Seems a strange colour to choose for impending... oh, got it.
Welcome our new rodent overlords
FTFY. Adjectives are always funnier.
Knight's solution is to retroactively amend the titles of Episodes I through IX to reflect it being the Skywalkers' saga
To what?
Episode I: Anakin Begins
Episode II: Anakin In Love
Episode III: Anakin Goes Bananas
They'd have to be stolen by handlers and this would be pretty stupid (although some are that stupid, they always get caught).
Like sheep, it's the clever ones you have to look out for.
Don't get people started. The big one in Star Wars land is those who claim they saw Luke throw the grappling twice, missing the first time.
Yeah, okay, or he lives in one of Uruguay, Hong Kong, West Germany, Ireland, South Korea, Japan, India, Iceland, or Iran.
Then you didn't see it in the cinemas on opening day in 1978. Or you're not remembering the opening day screening.
Or he doesn't live in the US, like 96% of the people on the planet.
Hitler, Stalin, I've told both of you not to squabble on Slashdot. I don't care who started it, go back to your cryopods!

When you see a crime, look away, stay calm and carry on.
Anonymous Coward, indeed.
Bad wording, intent hopefully clear.
What is playing itself out in Stuebenville, exactly?

Are you willing to bet your life on that?
I'm willing to risk a child's safety on it, will that do?
And the targets run the gamut
I see what you did there.
the new Mac Pro design is anything but boring
So's syphilis.

No-one's saying spreadsheets need GPU acceleration. But why shouldn't the GPU be taken advantage of?
