I for one, like the one named "What does it mean to be free?".
I agree, it's excellent. It doesn't try to be clever, but ends up being that anyway. And I can watch it several times without getting annoyed! Always a good feature of any commercial. About the others..
"Future.." is pretty good, perhaps a bit cheesy.
"Challenges.." needs better editing and acting
"The origins.." is creepy as hell, but pretty good. It would be excellent with a less shodan-like voice. Maybe that's just my own traumas speaking?
In my experience, it only takes long for the preview to load the first time. After that, it's instant as expected. My guess is that it has something to do with the ping-back thing I've heard of that checks if your post is coming from a shady place.
We all know the craft's mass does not change. The weight also does not change, if weight is defined as the total gravity force acting between the object and the Earth on average. Its apparent weight does increase however, where apparent weight is the total force pushing it towards the ground. "Weight" already contains far too many assumptions to be anything but a pretty nebulous measurement under any circumstance. Thus, in context, saying that the craft's weight increases is perfectly logical.
Or, bring it up at a meeting, but play unconcerned about the ethics but worried about a possible BSA raid, then casually mention the reward for whistleblowers as a reason for a possible raid ("but no-one here would be that shrewd, surely?").
You're partially right. Near-field monitors are used, but you also need room acoustics to go with it, so it's a lot more work to set up and/or more expensive than headphones. A studio can afford a good control room, but it's more cost-effective for most individuals to invest in good headphones instead.
Damn, I haven't seen that movie. Could someone who has please tell me why everyone is about fall over or have already gone horizontal, and why everyone generally looks pretty uncomfortable in the poster?
That's different. In this case the prediction is based on a bullet already in flight, meaning the trajectory is already being affected by whatever will affect it, save for changes in wind. You don't need to measure the other factors, because the bullet itself is measuring them. If you have three points for the bullet, say 0,2 seconds apart, it should be trivial to plot the hit point/zone.

Stop right there, you've got it in one.
Quite right, I thought this was ridiculous "news" at first, but here's a thought: what if the video-call iphone ends up making video calls more popular than they're now, by virtue of increasing the base of capable phones? There'd be more data over the air, meaning more demand, more competition, cheaper prices... all of which I approve of.

Commercials that are meant to build an image are never annoying.

You're all nuts anyway...
Doom and friends used the arrow keys. Quake is what made WASD popular.
Haha, you just figured it out without knowing it!

Hold it.

It's not called slavery if you get fairly compensated for the loss of freedom.

But the vendor said it was foolproof!
Indeed it is. Only fools can't crack it.

Sweet jesus, tell me they haven't gotten into the fashion business now!

I'm turning that kind of telephoto lens at you right now, I saw you type that post.

Only problem is, packets received through a twisted link come with the evil bit set.
What's fucked up about a career in porn, other than the obvious?
No, that's old-gen.
ITAPPMONROBOT to save the day!
They'll rename it Red November and put in on next-gen submarines.
That's a computer-generated voice, if you didn't know..
Because they're lined up with the Windows versions, not with each other.
Here you go:
Starter == Envy (== Bashful)
Home Basic == Wrath (== Grumpy)
Home Premium == Lust (== Dopey)
Professional == Pride (== Sleepy)
Enterprise == Greed (== Sneezy)
Ultimate == Gluttony (== Doc)
Fully Cracked == Sloth (== Happy)
Incidentally, this matchup shows that Windows is a sin no matter the form it takes.
I mean, good software engineering principles dictate that you use meaningful variable names.
Naming servers has to do with usage in a natural language, not a programming language. This makes for very different requirements.
