Let's say you pick a street in one of those surf towns in California. You can spend an entire week there and every single girl you see is porn material. On the other hand, go to NYC or Boston and you'll need a barf bag.
And it's not just in the USA. Go to Seoul, then go to Beijing. Or go to Amsterdam, then go to Copenhagen. You'll see how unrandomly beauty is distributed.
So what is to stop them from sending 14 or 15 year old nudes that look a little older
Where are they going to get those? Ask FBI agents to volunteer their daughter's pictures? Pick photos from a USB stick in the evidence room, using already victimized teenagers?
How is teleportation more scientific than "The Force"? Because Jedi mind tricks are not done using hardware? That's like seeing surgery (a mechanical process) as the only legitimate branch of medicine.
In recent Star Wars movies they've made an effort to explain what The Force is and why some species are not affected by it. It's not perfect but I'd say this is different from magic.
On one hand there's a bunch of people exploring the universe, using teleportation to travel short distances and 3d printers to create food. On the other there's a bunch of people fighting with light sabers and using hyperdrive to run away from other spaceships. Both have aliens, energy shields, politics, fleets and a small band of heroes who do all the work even if there's thousands of people in their team.
Any subcategory you create to classify those two stories differently is phony.
to dick about with a 3-decade-long complex story by IGNORING THE PERSON WHO WROTE IT is just... well... disappointing.
Maybe you need a refresher about how Star Wars was created. The original stuff that George Lucas wrote was confusing, rambling and boring. It's a bunch of editors (including the guy's wife) and Brian De Palma who carved out of this confusing script the masterpiece that was the first movie.
I'll watch Ep8 when it comes out, but only because I found a new way to enjoy them, picking the shit out of their weak production.
You must be one of those people who say that there's only 2 "true" Godfather movies. If we ever work in the same company I'll make sure you end up at the losers table for the Christmas party, with all the other naysayers and whiners.
Here's a bit of wisdom from Ke$ha:
When we fell in love You made my heart drop And you had me thinking 'bout you nonstop But you cry 'bout this and whine about that When you grow a pear You can call me back
Star wars episode 1 phantom menace broke records too!
The box office has spoken. People love Jar Jar Brinks!
I'm a Star Wars fan, always been, and I have no problem with Jar Jar Binks. There's always been a goofy/family element in Star Wars, from C3PO to the Ewoks.
I think there's value in this type of comic relief. It adds depth and texture to the story, which otherwise gets a bit stuffy and pompous like that other sci-fi franchise.
Star Wars is a space opera. Star Trek is more real sci-fi.
My phony detector always goes on when someone brings out the "space opera" bullshit. It's like saying: "Under Siege is an action movie. The English Patient is a real movie."
Guess what, one is a subset of the other, so your comparison is just phony and lame.
Well I just tried, and performance is awful compared to VirtualBox. The host is taking a beating and the guest is sluggish.
I've looked at a few Youtube videos of gamers and they had stellar performance with qemu and splice, but after reviewing the details I found out they typically use PCI pass-thru with a dedicated video card for the guest. When you're duplicating hardware and dedicating it to individual virtual machines I don't see the point of using virtualization at all.
Maybe qemu works well for headless servers, but for that kind of workload I use AWS (which now offers nano instances for $4/month!). On my desktop I use virtualization to run a bunch of guests with VPN connections to the network of my various clients, and apparently that's not something that I can easily achieve with qemu.
I totally agree. I've been using a separate partition, fresh installs and Ansible playbooks for my last two "upgrades" and it's been a breeze. I do a HDD backup and put some stuff in the cloud just in case but so far no problem.
The only thing that is constantly a PITA is VirtualBox. Every single time it's a nightmare to get that thing running with the right mix of kernels, kernel headers and various libraries. When I move to Fedora 24 (or whatever version) I'm switching my VMs back to VMWare Workstation.
I'm not paranoid, it's based on an unpleasant incident.
Two years ago, many of my friends complained that they were receiving spam from one of my Outlook.com email addresses. It was weird because it was not the sign-in address for my Outlook.com account; the spam was sent using one of my aliases that I used only with a Google account for non-important stuff (Chrome, Youtube, Google search preferences and such but no Gmail) on one specific machine.
I didn't know how this happened, so I turned off that laptop (which was a spare machine anyways), planning to do a bit of investigation later. Spam stopped. Life caught on, and I forgot about that laptop. About two months later I bought a new desktop computer, and I decided to use that same Google account to sign-in in Chrome and other Google services. My Chrome bookmarks came back from the cloud, but also my friends told me that spam from that Outlook.com alias had resumed! So I wiped that machine and also wiped the laptop and never used that Google account anymore. Nor did I use Chrome sign-in again.
I don't know exactly what happened. I guess some kind of nasty Chrome extension made its way into my Google account and used my sign-in address (which was an Outlook.com alias) to spam my contacts, and it got stored with my Google stuff. One way or the other, I'm no longer sharing bookmarks, extensions and similar stuff between my machines.

I think you should quit your day job and start writing thrillers like Robert Ludlum. You have a knack for clever plots with zero holes in them.

And by Palpatine I mean Hillary Clinton.
Depends which street.

And from the real source (vice):
On Wednesday, however, Snowden slid into my DMs with a response: "I can neither confirm nor deny it means exactly what you think it means."

That's like fourth hand reporting.

Space opera = future fantasy. Space magic.
How is teleportation more scientific than "The Force"? Because Jedi mind tricks are not done using hardware? That's like seeing surgery (a mechanical process) as the only legitimate branch of medicine.

99% of them sucked, in every decade. Memory wipes out the bad ones and reminds you of the good ones.
Here's my top 5 of bad movies that are unforgettable, by decade.
2010: Twixt (disclaimer: that's the only one in the list I was unable to watch until the end)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
2000s: Freddy Got Fingered
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
1990s: Passenger 57 (best scene ever: "Who's in charge?")
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
1980s: Smokey and the Bandit part 3 (which has no Bandit in it)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
1970s: Good Guys Wear Black
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Yeah, but Under Siege has that chick from baywatch jump out of a cake topless.
Gary Busey?
Yeah, cause neither holds a candle to "The Expanse", a better space opera than Star Wars and a better SciFi show than Star Trek... so there....
and... that's my cue to duck.... (evil grin)
No spoilers please! I'm waiting until there's enough episodes to go on a binge.
There's more to a movie than flashy visuals.
Excuse-me, are you from the past?
If we ever work in the same company I'll make sure you end up at the losers table for the Christmas party,
For liking a different movie than you? Jesus, I hope we never work in the same company because of your general lack of professionally.
My problem is not people who don't like the same movies as me, it's people who on purpose watch things they don't like so they can bitch about it.

Things have improved, like the cheap cork gaskets that are now cheap rubber gaskets.

Thanks, I created a channel on Pandora and added those in there. I'm usually more of a Bob Seger person lately but it's good to have a bit of variety.
I didn't say that Mr West was or wasn't a talented musician. I'm just waiting for you to man up and mention stuff you like, not just stuff you don't.
Double coward.
Who said anything about hiding? It's containment. The best way to browse porn websites is probably a VM but it's not as convenient as a mobile device.
You'd really put porn bookmarks in the cloud?
I don't use Chrome sign-on ever, even for regular browsing.
Does that mean I have to throw away my porn iPad and go back to my porn ChromeBook?
I hate that. Just moving the bookmarks will take forever.
