Going through these errors is the typical "movie-mistakes.com" archive of 'notes' rather than 'mistakes'.
One example is a note complaning that Osborne calls May "Aunt May" then later calls her "Mrs. Parker". Thats not a mistake at all, you and I do it all the time. Its more of a note.
Another one is simply a person noting that MJ wears 3 spike heals as a witress and complains that not many witresses wear those. Who cares? I'm sure in North America some actually do.
Another person notes that sometimes you can see the Green Goblins mouth move, and other times you can't. Whoopee, the camera shot is wider, or closer. This is not a mistake either.
Many people complain about spidermans reflective costume eyes, etc, complaning that sometimes they reflect and sometimes you don't see them reflect. Gotta admit, this isn't a mistake. The reflects represent his thoughts more than anything.
After going through many of these, I must admit there are probably only 6 - 10 real *true* mistakes. Many are simply notes or just comments about the movie. Movie-mistakes is *known* for this, most all of the Matrix mistakes are actually interesting comments. Don't believe it when they say there are 97 actual mistakes, a good way to judge that is to take 10% of that value as being true. 9 mistakes would be about right.
This stuff infuriates me. The general public does not understand their peril simply because they do not understand the platform. However, if we translated what was unraveling in the technology world to a political platform, there would be massive outrage.
The GPL would be equivalent to freedom of speech, freedom of expression and the freedom to choose. Microsoft would be seen as a totalitarian government whose hopes an ambitions are to destroy the basic freedoms that you and I have come to know and love.
We need to educate the masses on this problem, this isn't just ours, its everyone who enjoys the freedom to choose, the freedom to express and the freedom to speak their opinions. Get this in the media, do a compare and contrast of Microsoft and a Totalitarian government. Being making Microsoft a symbol of singularism and a dictorship. This is going to far, Microsoft must be stopped.
As a web developer, I meet with many people on a daily basis regarding setting up web sites, improving web sites or adding functionality. Often the topic of the domain comes up. Wehn I say I can get the client a domain for a year for $10 as a.com, they're pretty happy..com is a known extension that many users default to.
However, if I try to bring it past them that they have the other option of purchasing.pro domain for nearly 30x that amount, what do you think the reaction will be? A look of confusion, I guarantee you..pro isn't established, and simply the price difference means nothing. "What do I get from.pro that I can't get from.com?" Just the quality that it's.pro is all I could tell the client. It doesn't matter how "professional" the domain is, when they can get a.ca,.com, or.net extention for 30x less,.pro doesn't even have a chance.
The company (Verisign?) is obviously overlooking a very important fact: domain extensions don't have an overall effect on the quality of the web site. You're still going to get crap in the.pro area, there's no way of controlling that. The only way I could justify a $300 tab at the end of the year would be if the domain also came with some awesome server space and I got a free t-shirt with my domain on it...maybe a mousepad as well...and a new pair of shoes.
Actually I live in the apartments that they did some shooting with outside. The place was a mess and we had to leave several times (with our consent) for them to do some outdoor shots. They never came inside, which is good, but we had to clean the window sills time and time again. I can't wait to see the movie now!

Review: Spiderman

· Score: 1
Actually, all the actors and the director signed onto a contract which stated there would need to be 3 spiderman movies made. 2 more sequels to come!
I don't see how a.prn domain is different than the "adult" section in a video store. This isn't violating any free speech whatsoever, the sites can stay, but it's a better way to keep children from pornography.
If you're going to think this is any violation of free speech, is disallowing child pornography violating my right to free speech? How about murder? Can I not demonstrate the fact that I dislike a person to the point where I would rather not have them in my life?
Stop throwing around the idea of "violating free speech" so easily and actually use it for something that deserves it. This is merely categorizing.
The fact is Revelation is writen in an interpretive form. It is not in chronological order and makes many allusions. This mark is most likely not a literal "mark".
Really John (the writer) doesn't misinterpret, nor do its readers. Everyone can form an open option of this event since there is no true right nor wrong until you witness the gates of heaven yourself.
Who is this ancient CIA you're even talking about? Its not the Romans, since your sentence would make little sense. Are you trying to blabber nonsense in an attempt to win sides by confusion?
Anyhow, the original reply which you're replying to still holds strong. Your original comment was that the bible is written basically by Romans with roman interests. He replys by saying these writers were persucuted by those that you identified them as writing for. Now you're saying it doesn't even matter, that they weren't writing for or against the Romans, but people in the future.
You're mixing two views together, science and faith, and they don't mix.
A scientific "proof" is something tangible that you can look at. This does not work with God, imagine trying to observe everything in the universe, every atom, every thought at once, you couldn't, just as you couldn't view something that is as powerful as a God. It's hard to wrap your mind over it and it does require a higher level of thinking to understand Christianity, I know.
You can't view God like you can view a ball falling, so your option of "proof" is inconsistent with the method of understanding your subject.
Putting warning labels on these games is going absolutely too far. "Warning, playing too much of this game could be hazardous to your health"? Was that a joke? We could put warnings on cars stating that overdriving could be hazardous to your health, or warning labels on keyboards, or on phones, televisions, heck, why stop there? Put little warning labels on pens stating that overuse could generate hand cramps.
Too many warning labels leads to a neutralization of all other labels - labels that might even be important.
This is about as pathetic as the woman who sued McDonalds because she spilt coffee on herself and wasn't properly warned the coffee might actually be hot. Does this warning actually help anyone? Likely not, but the millions she got out of the settlement probably helped her a bit =)
It's the Hunt for Blame again, this mother cannot come to grips that she probably didn't raise her son the best she could have and she's looking to find someone to point at.
The sad thing is we'll probably begin seeing a lot more of this in the future.
I'm rather surprised to see CSI as an actual news item on Slashdot. Usually Slashdot reports brilliant happenings in the world, CSI is probably one of the lamest shows available right now, and I'll tell you why.
First of all, a "total absence of traditional TV fare"? Don't make me laugh. Whenever these guys talk about anything scientific, whether it be a virus in some ones system, a fork going through their body or what have you, it is *always* accompanied by CG showing *exactly* what they are talking about. There is nothing left to the viewers imagination. The directors assume an extremely unintelligent audience and feel obligated to visually show every single theory.
This being said, it really takes away from the show. For just 5 seconds you are taken out of the story and handed some over exaggerated CG of a bullet going through someone's arm, or a fork going through a chest, etc. Then you're popped right back into the story again! It ruins the continuity of the show.
Most intelligent drama? Do not be so quick to loosen your toung. This show hand-holds you through each episode. X-files leaves much to the viewers interpretation, CSI does just the opposite.
I don't know how people might take this idea, but here goes.
Personally I'm all for free speech, I think its great and think that's what the Internet should be filled with. However, it is the speech of which is practised that denounces the freedom of speech granted to others that should be banned. This includes and is not limited to:
Racism
Sites which encourage suicide
Site which encourage or teach Terrorism
Sites which include this (and all its variations and others you can think of) would be the real life equivilant of holding a car rally against driving. You're using the very medium which you are against to deliver the message. In this case individuals utilize freedom of speech to produce hate sites, essentially these sites are attempting to rebuke the freedom of speech from others whom they deem 'unworthy'.
I would like to put a spin on this and suggest that gaming isn't an addiction, but rather the exclusion of other forms of media.
Think of a typical day. You might get up, read the paper, go to work, come back home, watch some tv or do some work around the house, make or eat dinner, watch some tv or read a book. This is the stereotypical americain behavior pattern. It's rather well accepted.
However, a hardcore gamer replaces all the other forms of entertainment with one, an absolute focus, a single directional pattern, shall we say. His day following waking up includes playing a little bit, then going to work (or school, whatever) coming home and playing some more, dinner if he is so inclined, and playing again until he finally sleeps. Rinse (hopefully) and repeat.
Games are thus far the most advanced achievement man has made to create an artificial reality, and isn't that the purpose of most of our media? TV? Movies? Papers are informative, but some games can mimik the 'news' in their own respective worlds.
Conclusion: hardcore gaming is a result of combining all other forms of entertainment into a single, dominant form. It has proven to be the most effective, whereas TV and Movies lack interaction, games prevail. Where radio lacks visual stimuli, games prevail. Where going out and playing baseball limits the number of people and the actions therein, games prevail. Nothing has come close.
Basically the thing that leaves me stumped on all this is how this theif managed to get his or her hands on all this information without the Department of Motor Vehicle Information knowing anything about it.
It sounds very MI'ish, but rather than a narq list it's a list of every registered driver in the state of Oregon. I somehow doubt this individual went to the lengths of Tom Cruise, yet the information is potentially more valuble. This failure on the DMVI could have cost billions in fraudulent credit card registrations and transactions in a poor economy, and potentially could have sent consumer confidence to the toilet, plummeting the Americain economy (in an absolute worst case scenario).
What security has been used (if any) by the DMVI in the past, and how do they intend on improving their current situation? Allowing the identies of 2.8M individuals to be stolen is not acceptible by any means.
I find it interesting that Yahoo! mentions nothing of the DMVI's response.
I'm a web developer, and I don't know how many times I've heard people who are just getting into the scene talking about making 'hidden' pages. I'm reffering to those that are only accessible to those who click on a very tiny area of an image map, or perhaps find that 'secret' link at the bottom of the page. Visually, these elements seem 'hidden' to a user who doesn't really understand web pages and source code. However, these 'hidden' pages look like giant 'Click Here' buttons to search engines, which is what I'm presuming some of this indexing is finding.
The search engines cannot feasibly stop this from happening, each occurance is unique unto itself. The only prevention tool is knowledge and education, and bringing to the masses a general understanding of search engine spidering theory.
It's amazing to see NVidia's dedication to forwarding their technology and continually improving a seemingly perfect line of cards, but with all this power, are we running out of an application to utilize this power?
I have a 800 Duron system with a Geforce 2 MX. It plays any new game at 1152x968 flawlessly. The GeForce 3 can pump out perfect refresh rates at even higher resolutions on any of the newest and graphical intensive game available today. There simply is no challenge, whereas years ago there was always room to improve - refresh rates, resolution, bit colour, texture size, etc.
Does improvement in the 2000's merely mean higher resolutions? If so, I don't want it. On average, most consumer level monitors are 17" and support a max resolution of 1280x1024. These new cards can easily support it flawlessly, so there lacks any point in investing a new card, and I see no point in running Max Payne, for example, at 4800x3600 resolution.
There is no "killer app" available today - even with the GeForce 3 being out for some time now - that will even begin to offer these cards a challenge, and with a GeForce 4 on the way, will NVidia be able to intise buyers into believing they need 300fps at 4800x3600 resolution? In the end, I begin to wonder if NVidia is beginning to find itself in a tough corner. Their hardware is revolutionary, but lacks any practical application.
The simple fact of that matter is that when peopel are distressed, depressed and overwhelmed with hate, anger and fear, fingers begin to get pointed.
If you recall the Colorado school masacre, you will remember the fact that the parents attempted to sue ID software for creating a game which, in their minds, influenced their children to go on a school masacre.
The situation here is very much the same, and Phil is now taking the blame. However, why stop there? Why not blame our roads for allows the terrorists for getting around? How about phones so they could reserve airline tickets and flight school courses? Why not blame computers as a whole for allowing the terrorists to communicate?
The truth is, people will hunt for a reason HOW. How was this allowed to happen? How could this have happened to ME? We resort to blaming others, whether it be the FBI, CIA or even someone like Phil Z.
Time will pass and people will begin to take notice of the real problems that allowed the terrorists to operate. Does Phil Z have the blood of 5000 people on his hands? Hardly.
