Wish it would have been closer to "truths"

Spielberg's Taken

· Score: 1
It would have been MUCH better to start off each episode with "based on real testimony".
Instead, they show a Roswell craft that is 10 times the size every witnesses said it was (in fact, most said it wasn't a disc at all, but more of a wing shape), the balls of light (foo fighters) looked like kids toys, the Grays all of a sudden can climb walls like a spider, shape shifting aliens, etc...
*sigh*
All I'm saying is that this could have been a phenom if more "facts" had been used. Instead about 2% is fact and 98% is fiction. A documentary with Spielbergs storytelling behind it would have made a MUCH better series. If you have seen "Roswell", the Showtime movie, then you know what I'm talking about.
Yet again, they (we) are attempting to "fix" the problem by taking away one of the means for completion of a task "they" do not want to see happen. Instead, they take away freedom's of the many to quash the means of the few. Sounds like a two year old is running things "down under"...
This in contrast to what they SHOULD do, which is fix the problem that LEADS these people to WANT to commit these crimes.

Considering a movie, in this case Harry Potter, can make over $300 mil and industry total yearly record breaking and exponentially climbing revenues occur EVERY YEAR, including last year and perdictions for this year, I would have to say this is a sign of greed for which has little company.
Commercial crop circles done by some pretty professional groups of crop circle makers has been going on for years and are known by those who know any better (sorry Timothy!), and known by ALL serious crop cirlce investigators. Especially the ones who believe in their reality. The man made circles are quite easy to pick out when you know what to look for
You should have tested converting, say, a.tif into each format, not an already compressed jpeg into PNG.
Bad test. I did just that (started with a 300dpi.tif) and got approx. the same quality at the exact same file size. And my PNG can be scaled without losing much quality.

Nope, it's how our GOVERNMENT feels about other countries' rights.
I love this country, but fear and loathe my government. I'm not sure if this helps, but my sentiment is growing on popularity, even here (US).
So, the advantage is how it will help commercial business?
*sigh*
Forget the climactic and species killing effects, not to mention global weather changes teetering on catastrophic, etc..
Nope, it will cost less to ship our product from here to there...so YAY GLOBAL WARMING!?

Um, Japan wasn't a under a ruling communist regime 25 years ago. THAT'S the difference.
Throw in labor laws/rights or the lack thereof and you shouldn't even use them both in the same tone.
Silly humans...books are for kids.
perdictions?
damn keyboard...

Sorry, but this just simply isn't news.
