Major continuity error with "Origins"

X-Men: First Class

· Score: 1
Watch the end of the X-Men: First Class (Charles becomes paraplegic), then watch the end of X-Men: Origins/Wolverine.
In the latter, a clearly-older Charles Xavier has miraculously regained use of his legs. Oops.
Until we have the utopia that is our phones as our primary computers that can be used on the go and then seamlessly transition to desktop use with keyboards and monitors, storing data locally, planning ahead and synchronizing what you need will continue to be the way you should manage your data. Cloud services should be a last resort backup ONLY.
What is the draw to cloud services anyway? Access to your data from anywhere?
You can get 12" laptops with 500gb hard drives and decently-sized keyboards. Use standby instead of shutting down and you have pactically-instant startup and still lots of battery life
Heck, most people need little more than Facebook, email and a place to store pictures. Any smartphone can do that.
Another loophole uses four lines of CSS and JavaScript. Canadian developer David Hayes managed to strip the Times' website of any mention of digital subscriptions in addition to getting past the paywall. The hack was released in the form of NYTClean, a bookmarklet easily added to web browsers.
Seriously? What developer is dumb enough to leave authentication for a paywall at the client-side?
That is irrelevant, and in my recommendation whoever came up with that formulation should be fired, or at least reassigned to duties far from any actual responsibilities.
I'd settle for the person in question being charged with criminal negligence.
If the information is available publicly (ie.: without signing into Facebook or conning your way into a friend-request acceptance), it's public. If it's marked as private, it's private, unless permission is otherwise given by the owner(s) of said information.
Does it really need to be more complicated than that?
It's simpler, cleaner, more to-the-point and controllable. The stories are a lot less jammed together and a lot easier to visually filter through.
My only criticisms:
Links within text aren't distinct enough. I can hardly make them out to be links without rolling my mouse over them. C'mon, guys, this is web design 101 stuff.
The "control area" (RSS, FB, twitter, user controls) on the right should stay put. I don't see why it needs to scroll.
Whatever was wrong with pagination? Can we please just have page first first/2/3/4/last?
he reason people hated it was because people who like physics based sci-fi are not comfortable with meta-physics and fantasy sci-fi or at least don't like it when expecting one and get served the other.
I'd rather work with someone who has a Facebook page full of comments, a selection of interests and some drunk pictures than the antisocial guy with no life.
"Within five minutes of starting the car, the interlock will order the driver to pull over and restart the car. For longer rides, drivers will be required at random times to stop the car and restart."
Oh, that'll just work great on the 10-lane freeway at 80MPH.
After I, II, and III came out, they removed the original ghost of Vader at the end of Return of the Jedi and replaced him with the Canadian actor that played Anakin Skywalker in II and III. WHY?
But home schooling pretty much fails to develop a kid's social skills. And I've always felt that one of the more important things that public schooling does is develop social skills.
Home schooled kids don't generally have to put up with schoolyard bullies. They don't have to make friends. They don't learn about compromises and sharing and common interests the way you do when you're surrounded by other people all day long. They don't learn to file the rough edges off their own personality, so that they can get along with others. They don't learn how to put up with other people's quirks and issues. They don't learn diplomacy and tact.
Well, you could knock me over with a feather!
How ever did people learn to socialize amongst eachother before education?

You can convert heat into energy? Whodda thunk it?
Indeed.
We only really need to worry about it if it's OVER NINE THOUSANNNNNNND!!!

Which is faster? Typing an emoticon by "muscle memory" on good ol' QWERTY or learning a new keypad layout with no real logic?
My only criticisms:
No, I hated it because it was awful.
Really? You chose to post this not as AC?
Que Scrubs imagination sequence... "Welcome to Ball-Mart!"
(in case you're unfamiliar)
It's called "acceptable risk".
Wow, what could possibly go wrong?
Darn. That's me :(
Oh, yeah? Try crossing an international border.
How so? I have daily medication that prevents me every drinking alcohol. Ever. Trust me, it's not difficult.
Though, I suppose helps that I find alcohol repulsive.
I guess that makes for two things up there while you're still in prison...
Ouch.

Thank goodness. I'm not the only who hated this.
Less rubber on the road, less friction, more fuel economy. How is this news?

Seriously guys, this is Slashdot. Can't we all just agree that this is moot point?
