  1. What about Super Bright LEDs on DIY High-Quality XGA Projector for ~$300 · · Score: 1

    I wonder if you could use instead of the lamp on the projector, a panel of superbright LEDs. They seem pretty bright and are efficenet (low power/low heat)

  5. good move by gateway on Gateway To Close All Retail Stores · · Score: 2, Insightful

    the country stores didn't really make sense in a lot of areas around the US, people look for computers at big stores like best buy or good guys, or look online. Gateway will now compete in both places(thanks to emachines), and not have to rent a bunch of storefronts to cater to only a few passer bys each day. Those stores required quite a few employees to operate, and didn't generate a lot of business, except in places like New York or Manhattan where those type of stores are popular.(I bet they will keep a few open there) They just trimmed the fat in my opinion and I think it was a good move

    "I'd rather be advocating free expression in the arts than categorically making generalizations about some nebulous group of people".
    "Its no surprise that the morality crowd. Bla bla bla"

    I think its hilarious you cant even hold to your own standards for sentence after you state them. You hate to make generalization but then you talk about the "morality crowd" as if anyone that has any morals is somehow dumped into this pile of art hating zombies.

    My first thread was about how the entertainment industry to the morality of pirating. You took offense to me thinking they are required to be moral themselves, but not that they can demand morality from others. So it seems a one way street, we are required to be moral in dealing with Hollywood; however Hollywood should not return the favor. You seem all for morality as long as it doesn't get in the way of your dirty little vices. In answer to your question, yes I'm very happy that the porn industry is the most pirated, for some strange reason I think it not good to have a industry that is dedicated to indiscriminately making people lust. I think it just dessert to see them fall pray to the low moral climate the help create (emphasis help). I am not singling the entertainment industry out thinking they are the only ones who need be moral; I believe that is the job for everyone.

    I think its hilarious that you seem the champion of logical fallacies when it comes to others but feel free to indulge in them yourself
    1. I also take issue that art has anything to do with morality... The crowd that chants this mantra are also...
    Hasty generalization
    2. Seems to me there are two paths here, tolerating "immoral Hollywood" or engaging in intolerance.
    Wow if that isn't a false dilemma then I don't know what is.

    I don't have the time tonight to write any more on the matter, I will continue in the morning. I will leave with this, I don't think it intolerant of me to think that morals have a place in this world, and that I do not squish them into a tiny corner of my philosophy on life, so that I may indulge myself in things if governed by morals would be a disgrace to me.

  13. A Postmodern reply to Political Correctness on MPAA to Launch Anti-Piracy Commercials · · Score: 1

    With the birth of scientific theories in the middle ages, modernism was born the idea that our surroundings could be known and understood, a prevailing notion that there are in fact absolute truths. Society will continue to grow in this knowledge and become better as a whole. Two world wars and a great depression, started people doubting and Postmodernism sprang forth. An antithesis to modernism, no absolute truth, things are know only relative to other things. This effected all areas of life for people, what starts as a subject tossed around by "high thinkers" in a decade permeates our lives. Political correctness came from the post modern culture, and does indeed seem to hold to the same kind of idea. So I guess were both right (how postmodern!)

  14. Re:oh no! sex and drugs! on MPAA to Launch Anti-Piracy Commercials · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Wow your right the filmmakers that make movies like American Pie really "dare" to tackle hard hitting subjects. You assume that if one filmmaker makes a movie that trys to address these subjects in a profitable way, that therefore all filmmakers must do the same thing. And if were going to talk about logical fallacies lets talk about dropping me into the category of "religious fundamentalists" to some how make my opinion less meaningful. All of a sudden if I think its detrimental to society that children are all listening to songs about raping there mothers, I am a religious fundamentalist, and my opinion has no place out of church. Postmodern culture: Everyone's ideas are right except people that don't agree that everyone's ideas are right

  15. Laughable Morality on MPAA to Launch Anti-Piracy Commercials · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think its hilarious that they want to use morality to try and persuade people to not pirate their movies. For years the entertainment industry has come out with morality killing movies, tv programs and music, now the monsters they have created couldn't care less about morality of it. I think its nice for them to have to eat it.
