  1. Re:Jon Stewart? on Diagnose Conficker With Web-Based Eye Chart · · Score: 4, Informative

    How can the first post be modded Redundant when he says something that is not a meme or a common sentiment?

    Because someone with mod points is either trolling or doesn't understand the meaning of the word. Just another flaw in the system.

    Ahh, a Philadelphian! Do yourself a favor and go see it at the IMAX in King of Prussia instead, very soft, reclining, comfortable seats.

    That's always where I go almost always (I'm 5 minutes from 202), or the AMC across from the Plymouth Meeting Mall. The leg room still doesn't match what I had at the one on Paramus, NJ.

    They're actually fixing this in a cinema near me - they have a screen that only over-18s can go in, regardless of the film.

    You'd be surprised how many morons are filtered out when you do that.

    I've seen plenty of over-18's who are equally as obnoxious.

  4. Re:I missed it? on Wolverine Film Leaked a Month Before Release · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I will never again willingly watch anything in a cinema so long as I live. Poor food, poor seats,

    Sad but true. The seating is awful and is almost essential to the overall experience with the movie. My sister was all hyped for me to see The Dark Knight a the Franklin Institute's IMAX claiming it was the greatest. I've never sat in a movie seat that so closely resembled sitting coach in an airline in my life.

    The good news is some of the new theaters being built are catching on. I had the pleasure of going to new-ish AMC theater in Paramus, NJ (attached to the mall). It had lots of leg room, great video and sound. Hopefully this will set a trend and the designers will realize that cramming in one extra row and column isn't as important as the repeat customers to a comfortable theater.

    The MPAA/FOX may very well have their eyes on those seeder and peer lists.

    I'll take anyone's bet to the otherwise. I have absolute confidence that all the peers in that torrent that have a flimsy ISP will get an email in a week.

    Comcast stands their ground, right? Right!?

  7. Re:Marvel's "Origin" Series on Wolverine Film Leaked a Month Before Release · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Do I think it will hurt the movie or cause any amount of financial loss? No, it's merely disrespectful and actually kind of humorous that anyone would ruin the initial exposure of what could amount to a great film.

    Do I think that they will use it as a scapegoat, much like Ubisoft did when an unfinished and buggy copy of Assassins Creed leaked? Yes. If their movie doesn't do well in the box office (Well as in higher than their expectations) this will be a perfect excuse for them to use with the media and to investors.

  17. Re:Torrent on American Airlines To Offer Wi-Fi In Planes · · Score: 1

    probably not. many public wifi services (like on buses) block all ports but 80 and 443, so you can even use pop/imap/smtp or ftp on them. unless you get your torrent over 80, probably not.

    SSH tunnel via port knocking to 443 to a server. Sure, you can't use HTTPS on that box but it gets around most filters.

    If it pays for itself within a few months, then good. Profitable airlines == more competition, and less nickel and diming for snacks and hydration.

    Secretly funded by the NSA actually. A capture will be built into the system.

    So then I work off of my laptop with restrictive iptables running and SSH to my server which I log into using port knocking and watch videos on Youtube via tunnel. Or I let the NSA know that I enjoy watching the cat flushing the toilet video ten times in a row.

    Between the TSA frisking a grandmother and airlines denying people access for wearing T-Shirts with Arabic lettering I have stopped expecting a high amount of privacy on a plane.
