    Quite the opposite. The superhero ones are the ones that brought in all the money! 5 of the top 10 were superhero movies (realistically 8 of the top 10 were "superhero" type movies). The only solution is to produce more superhero movies.

    You mean the nationality of the lawyers? Probably born and bred American. The purpose of a statement like this is to get some money out of the tech companies for their "negligence" and put it into the lawyers' pockets.

    That explains why I haven't watched any new movies for 10 years.

    You don't get the same experience seeing "Star Wars: The Last SJW" at home. It is something that needs to be experienced in a theater.

    Good point, but this is about movies, not music. Try to stay on topic.

    Star Wars: The Last Artist and Art Runner 2047 were my top picks. You probably haven't heard of them. They were Indie films only released here in Portland. I also have a fixie bike and a long bushy beard.

    I can't understand why superhero movies are so popular? Who, over 12 years old, is going to see them? They come out with a new one every 3 months and they all look identical to me. They also make a ton of money, so they will continue make them. I only see art films myself.

    Yes. Because hurricanes are caused by climate change. That is why the frequency of hurricanes are at an all time low. Er, wait.

    ....we can barely create functional software. Major corporations release software regularly that has huge bugs and security holes. But, yeah, magically we are going to create malevolent "AI". Right after they figure out how to play "Go" or "Chess" or Monopoly or whatever the AI "researchers" think of next.

    The key message of the last movie was the violent young white man learned the lessons of the brave older white women in the end. He was enlightened.

    100% agree. But Google is still a competitor. In fact, it is their biggest one.

    Of course. And Trump has been running ads on TV "thanking him" from "lowering taxes". It was a plan that worked perfectly. Here is $2. Just don't notice I am taking $20,000. Trickle down economics does work though - it just doesn't work for those that aren't on top.

    Yes they forgot to add an item for a new building to an article about biggest rocket launches and space missions. Thanks for the tip.

  17. Yeah, good idea. Just build a transit station and electric tugs (in space). Then mine asteroids and transform it into shielding, water and propellants using some space factories. You just need a big rocket and some dreams.

    Or we could build a space station and put mammals in there in its fractional-g environment! Brilliant!

  19. So when are we going to Mars? Apparently all it takes is a big rocket and some space factories and some asteroid dust to protect us from the radiation in transit.

  20. He doesn't have a brain at all. "If you want to compete we need to lower that [the corporate tax rate]." Is he saying American corporations aren't competitve???? The American corporation is doing VERY VERY WELL. The market has been going through the roof. Corporate income is at an all time high. The tax money is going to come from somewhere, because the "conservatives" are going to spend more and more. Where do you think the tax money is going to come from? Increased corporate profits? You better hope so, otherwise it is coming out of YOUR paycheck.

  21. That is really underhanded. It is like posting affiliate links to unrelated Amazon stuff.

    "Math" doesn't work just because you want to define it some arbitrary way. You don't "need" to "take into account total power generation". Just shove it. The US produces 650Gwh of green energy every year. Only one country produces more. Even if I used your definition, the US would be around 50th in the world in terms of percentage of total production. So you are wrong again. Have a nice day. You just got taught a lesson.

    My guess is it is the wind caused by all the wind turbines that are making it cold. A better solution would be to spin the turbines the other way, just like you do to ceiling fans in the winter.
