No, more like the incessant pussification of the male race and the metrosexual trend. The government should mandate that those who have low testosterone for no good reason must watch movies like Commando until their testosterone level rises to acceptable levels.
Some lazy asshole at the Foxconn iPod factory didn't do enough to keep their computers clean. Now Apple takes the heat. Steve Jobs is going to brutally maul and messily devour some Foxconn execs. Hell, he's still picking some out of his teeth after the Foxconn sweatshop fiasco.
Ten years ago, higher functioning autistic disorders were just barely coming into light by the psychiatric community. Asperger's had only just been accepted as a real disorder. THAT is why more people are being diagnosed with autism. Oh sure, some parents will say their kids are autistic as an excuse, but for the most part, it's being diagnosed more often because it's more prevelant than anybody thought ten years ago. It's nothing like ADD/ADHD. There's no pill you can take to make it better. Parents shovel the ritalin into their kids in hopes it will make them a bright, shiny, successful little kid who will make them look good. There's no ritalin for autism, so there's bound to be less parents insisting their kids are autistic because they can't take an easy way out to "fix" the kid.
I have to strongly disagree with two of those. Temple of Doom was good Indy Jones entertainment, even if it was darker and creepier than the other two, and Willow was great fun. Why all the hate for these two?
MODERATION is the key here. When I was a kid, my parents limited everyone to 1 hour on the computer per day once all the chores and homework was done. My family did just fine academically, thankyouverymuch. Remove the kids who spend an average of 2 hours or more after school in front of the TV or computer and see how the statistic looks.
Exactly. Put solar panels all over that blasted wasteland known as Nevada. Put windmills in friggin' windtunnels like Ellensburg, WA, where I'm going to school. They're putting up about 120 huge windmills on a hillside because the wind almost never stops blowing in this stinking valley. I saw a perfectly healthy tree uprooted and fallen onto somebody's car from a particularly nasty windstorm we had. That'll run your windmills at a good pace.
He is one of the many that was disturbed and creeped out by those commercials with The King waking up in bed next to the poor soul. I'm sorry, but The King is one of the most off-putting ad mascots ever.
Whoa, you mean Apple isn't supporting an operating system that's about 8 years old? An OS that damn near ANY piece of new software or hardware no longer supports? If she bought an iPod and her computer is too damn old to work with it, how the hell is that Apple's fault? Check the system requirements first. Hey, I can't get my iPod to sync with my Commodore64! Goddamn Apple!
I've used the 10.5 developer preview, and while it naturally lacks a lot of system polish (a 38GB swapfile!), Dashboard is already eating far less RAM. That gives me hope for 10.5, especially since capturing any part of a webpage into a Widget makes it far more useful.
You do realize that you can install Mac OS X on a 300mhz G3 with 256MB of RAM, don't you? Apple supports the old machines, and does the same graphical effects as Vista with far lower system requirements.
Dunno if he mentioned it as the site is Slashdotted straight to server hell, but Simone was fucking horrid. Okay, so the guy has software and a wicked computer that can render photorealistic CGI in realtime. Okay. Then it has a goddamned 5.25" floppy drive in it. The fuck it would! Then he puts in a 5.25" disk called "Plague" which wipes it. Okay, that's plausible. Then he pulls all the drives, discs, basically everything with a record of this software and destroys it. Then his daughter somehow brings it all back with a keystroke, even though the damned drives were GONE!! Not to mention they were completely scrambled before they were gone! Oh yeah, and the rest of the movie sucked ass too.
Paying to see him in concert? Not really. I saw the Bad Hair Tour twice and both were very cheap. One was at a state fair, and you only had to pay to get into the fair, not the concert. Pretty cool stuff.
Probably because they did all sorts of nifty tricks that film allows and stage doesn't, like cutting between real life and fantastical musical numbers. Chicago was spiced up and visually adapted to fit a movie. The Producers looked like it was filmed on a stage set using the exact script, blocking, etc. It was painfully dull as a result.

Oh, I thought this meant that Vista had been pushed back again. You mean that Vista and XP SP3 are two different things? I sure couldn't tell...
Looks more like IRC: The Movie.
Compare that to a voice actor in a full-length cartoon or CGI movie to give it some perspective.
Sheesh, I'd think she'd have landed a bit more than that for such a pivotal character, especially in Halo 2.
You missed the Holocaust joke in there. That one had me laughing my brains out.

It's probably the undigested butter gumming up their synapses.
Lucas is looking at made for TV flicks, so the stuff he makes can't be any worse than the indescribably wretched shit they call Scifi original movies.

I like this one.

Dunno, but if these guys are a Wal-Mart UK equivelant, then I wouldn't want their software anywhere NEAR my computer.

Except that Widgets have been around a lot longer than Konfabulator. They used to be known as Desk Accessories in early versions of the Mac OS.

The governor of Maryland is a Republican and wants the machines out. The Democrats are fighting to keep them. Nice knee jerk, dipshit. Try again.

No, that was My Bologna, unless he also did Another One Rides the Bus in one as well...
