You better be vegetarian! I, for one, know of many larger and more common masses of neurons that definately can feel things that are having much worse existances than flying a virtual plane.
I 3 my gateway. Sure it isnt the best thing in the world, but it is still working next to my spiffy bright green (and very much broken right now) Alienware crap =/. I never had problems with my Gateway, it always just worked, even when I shoved random components in it and messed with the OS and stuff. I wub it. Oh, and I drove cross country with it in my trunk on tight suspension... still works fine.
It should be pretty easy to guess. We can assume he would have answered if he thought he had something to say that would make people want him to be president. So he must have had nothing good to say, which in this case is pretty bad.
Damn Skippy!
Thats why I bought all those CDs! So that I could listen to what I what to listen to whenever I want. The CDs provide the what, the iPod provides the whenever.
Thats odd, all my friendships felt very transitory as well... I always attributed it to the fact that im a weird guy and felt I was alone in the matter.
Becuase you've never screwed up once behind the wheel and gotten lucky and not hit someone? Don't be so hypocritical. Everyone makes mistakes. The 'dipshit' is already about to get screwed over by his insurance company and he's going to have to deal with his mistake for months and maybe pay for it the rest of his life. If everyone just calmed down the road would be a better place.
I think you people just don't get us people. I'm assuming your comment was modded up for the whole 'just relax and enjoy the movie' comment as you completely missed the point of my original comment. You don't understand at all. I enjoyed the movie. I enjoyed it so much that I've seen it twice. But that doesn't stop me from enjoying discussing what was wrong with it. Something my father and I love to do is talk about how things could be better done in TV Shows and movies within the context of the movie or TV show. So for instance, I accept the fact that spiderman can shoot webs out of his wrists and that fusion is now possible and that robotic arms like that exist. Those are necesary for the movie. They are the "What if" that makes it interesting. What I can argue about is how they use those things. It's a fun thing to discuss.
We do the same thing with Star Trek. We like to theorize about how the technology we already know about could be used in other, perhaps better, ways. Oh, and just a quick off-topic... I don't see this too often so I think it might be a semi-original observation: the deflector dish is the swiss army knife of the fleet. All you have to do is re-route power from any sub-system to project that sub-systems qualities on a massive scale out into space.
hmmm, now that I think about it its amazing I ever get girls... but now I'm rambling.
Hmmm, that would make sense except this was one of those "The whole city is screwed becuase we can't control this anymore and it is self sustaining and is going to blow up the city ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh!" type scenes. The whole point was that it was self sustaining and they couldn't stop it.
Valiant effort at trying to help this movie but I've just accepted that the writers just don't care about science and what's possible or even probably, they just wanted their hollywood style shots.
OK, a lot of stuff bugged me in Spiderman2, but a few things stand in in my mind, none of which were adressed in this list.
1. How are you going to tell me a fusion reaction, what was supposedly a small sun, was drowned by water???
2. OK, so the fusion thing didn't work out, you're telling me that the technology going into those robotic arms that could instantly send wires capable of interacting with the human brain and be powered by no easily identifiable power source werent worth anything? As well as the biggest break-through in fusion energy ever? Yeah right.
3. OK, this one is a bit more nit picky... helicopters do not just go flying in between the buildings of New York like that, especially not so close to one another.
The movie was good as a whole, but a lot of the plot just didnt make sense. It doesnt seem like it would take that much thinking power to get rid of those few anomolies. Oh, and the one woman reporter asks about the super intellegent AI and Doc Ock had never even mentioned anything about the arms being intellegent!!! Why did the arms have to be intellegent at all??? Gah! Oh, and Doc Ock didn't tell whats his face how much of that gold junk he needed. He just said he wanted some. There were soooooo many technical errors in that movie and I wasnt even looking for them!
Hold on a second... placing a camera where it is lucrative to do so is becuase a lot of people are breaking the law there and you can fine them all. If a lot of people are all breaking the law in a specific place... doesnt it make sense to put the camera there?
Now personally I don't like the speed limit laws anyway, but you should blame the laws and not the enforcement of them. I mean, the whole idea is that if a lot of people are speeding it's a dangerous location and therefore should be more heavily monitored.
No, your managers should not come from the line. All that does is breed incompetant managers. Just becuase someone is good at put part A into hole B doesnt mean they can manage the entire production.
Being a good manager is an entirely different skill set, and a good manager is able to understand the limitations of the supply line without having actually worked on it. The same thing goes with advertising. A good advertiser will listen to the people or managers making the product and then go sell whatever they are told to.
I happen to agree with you but just to play Devil's Advocate one more time...
If someone is afraid of commiting a crime becuase of the chance of getting caught after the fact then they have been deterred from hurting you and you've been 'protected'. Even a personal security guard is re-active more than pro-active. He stands around and tries to make sure nothing happens to you, but he doesn't go around killing everyone around you to ensure that no one even has the chance of hurting you, he stands there as a detterent.

Does this mean soon we get to buy the super box set with all three of the extended editions?? I hope so =)

Becuase a real pirate would spell correctly?
"In btw" In by the way??? Do you mean 'and by the way' or something??? C'mon now! Thats just... bad.
It wasn't an answer, it was the specific lack of an answer... which is terrible.
Damn Skippy! Thats why I bought all those CDs! So that I could listen to what I what to listen to whenever I want. The CDs provide the what, the iPod provides the whenever.
":-/" ???
I hate the twenty second waiting period
Thats odd, all my friendships felt very transitory as well... I always attributed it to the fact that im a weird guy and felt I was alone in the matter.
*stumbles the rest of the way entirely out of breath from a flat out run*
Jurrasic...... park.......... reference *cough* *sputter* *die*
That may as be, but my Synagog had a Boy Scout group of which i was a part of. So its not a totally christian thing ;)
Damn straight.
Yeah, hooking up from on-line stuff does work... hotornot got me head =D
;)
And more than once
Of course they can spell ok! They have clippy the spell checker!

You seem like the kind of person who would think 'Xtreme Doritos' is a good idea.
