Have to admit the Jack/Rose plot kinda ruined the movie in my opinion. But I think James Cameron & his crew did a pretty good job with the SFX on that one. Appeared pretty realistic especially on the big screen. Certainly better visuals than A Night to Remember, although that was a better movie
The routes wouldn't propagate to the rest of the Internet, yet traffic would be blocked at the border in both directions. Just convince the the bigger ISPs to add them to their border routers
The movie was right. Marty and doc Brown did travel to 2015 and saw the 2015 as it had to be. But then, they traveled far back, then they went back to the future - their 1988 present. Unfortunately in between 2015 and 1988 they modified the "new" past (of 2015) which gave the boring and hoverboard-less 2015 we all live now.
Actually they travelled to 2015 from 1985
Back to the Future 2 was direct continuation from BttF1 which started in 1985
The only person who should ever feel intimidated by a legal and law-abiding open carry is a person who has the desire to intimidate or harm innocents and doesnt want to risk getting shot for it.
So I'm curious - what is a person who openly carries so intimidated by that they feel the need to carry a gun?
I can understand the average Joe / Jane wanting a gun to hunt. And I can understand that there are situations which require armed police.
But I cannot understand why an average person would feel the need to openly carry a gun on daily basis.
For the people of NZ, your representative basically just said you are too fucking stupid to be trusted with governing yourselves. He has insulted you to your faces. Do something about him.
Some of us recently tried and failed. 1/3 of us didn't even bother to vote, and the rest voted for Tim Groser and his ilk. As a NZer myself I'm afraid I have to agree.. most of us are too stupid, or too apathetic to govern ourselves. As the poster below pointed out - the most popular programmes here are so the called reality shows, that have no basis in reality and designed to keep the masses dumbed down to the level of a 7yr old
Honestly I wish I knew. The level of apathy in this country is appalling. The recent election saw barely 2/3's of eligible voters turn out to vote. I encourage my kids to pay attention to the issues and discuss them with their friends, and hopefully get them out in force. However it would seem that many are more interested in the latest BS than the welfare of their nation
There might be full public disclosure. But sure as hell we won't have a say in any changes before it is signed. NZ Governments over the past 20yrs, both Labour & National, have run roughshod over democracy (when was the last time a national referendum was heeded?).
I've nothing against free trade but not at the expense of our rights as a sovereign nation, yet that is exactly what John & Co. will allow to happen
Can they do that with sonic? Do we know what effect the sonic would have on the muons? And if they do use sonic make sure there's only one device to prevent confusing the polarity.
All these comments and no mention of Sierra's... Quest games; Hero's Quest, Kings Quest, Space Quest, and the perenial Favourite Lesiure Suit Larry. Plot driven with the right balance of humour and complexity... still enjoyable after 15+yrs.
As for FPS.. wolfenstien (2d & 3d), Duke Nukem 3d and wing commander. Sufficient plot to identify objective and make it enjoyable to play.

Asterix is still funny!
I grew up with Tintin as well. It's definitely "of a different era," but that makes it more interesting to a certain extent.
I'll second that. Both are fun for all ages, and I'd say a good place to start if you're new to the comic/graphic novel format
I also find the humour in Asterix similar to that of the Discworld series
When do we get Spider Pig?
"many years ago" ?
5 is a very odd definition of 'many'. (5 years, as of this writing)
It's the Troll form of counting = One, Two, Many, Lots - Men at Arms, Terry Pratchet
(Yes I know it's not the exact quote but I don't have the book in front of me)
Disallow corporations from contributing to campaign funds?
Allow donations from private citizens only?
Get rid of the PACs and make politicians work their own campaigns?
Prevent lobbying from corporations?
FYI I'm a kiwi and admittedly don't know much about the US electoral laws - our process is a little different down here

Great series that - sitcoms that are actually funny are hard to come by these days

One could potentially just NULL route the IPs
ip route a.b.c.d c.i.d.r NULL0

How the fuck is this still happening? Its 2016 for Fates sake. How many years and versions of Word/Office have we had to deal with since "Mellissa"?
Agree entirely - the Millennium called it wants its macros back
This was actually predicted in the movie "The Big Bus".

Man I thought I was the only one who remembered that movie - corny as hell but fun to watch
... they got fed up with people asking when the next Sound Blaster was coming out http://creative.com/
When I read the head line my first thought was - when did Facebook get into computer audio components?

+5 Funny?
I would say +5 Informative and +5 Insightful
Mind you I guess it's funny because it true

So you can't feel, hear, see or touch them then their existence must be a lie? http://idle.slashdot.org/comme...
By that logic you don't exist either :-)
So it's really just Emacs in disguise?
Earth from space is always pretty cool, but there is an abundance of images out there. The Milky Way from space is awesome
Woooosh...

You missed a step...
3: Have popular vote
4: ?????
5: Profit
There ya go ;-)
What do you call someone who goes around saying things that they know are untrue?
Sales/Marketing manager ;-)
You mean Asterix and his sidekick Obelix, I think.
Lucky Luke, Cubitus, Spike & Suzy, and Tintin could also be worth a look, as well as the classic Donald Duck / Scrooge McDuck comic book stories written by Carl Barks and Don Rosa
+1 for all the above
