I saw this e-mail on my phone this morning, and my first thought was "Sounds pretty sweet... so I bet it's not real". Then I came in and saw this headline before I even remembered it. Oh well... kat.ph is everything Demonoid was, maybe more.
Seriously, I've never heard of Cinedigm in my life. But, after reading that quote I'll be keeping a close eye on their releases and I'll be patronizing them as they release material I like for a while. The fact that he's chief marketing officer isn't lost on me--he made that quote to win a crowd I (must) belong to over...but whatever. It worked.
True on this list of voice actor's net worth I see a lot of Futurama people. But, I also notice the people from Futurama have more of a portfolio of voice characters that would explain how they have so much money, and they're also trumped by people who only do less varied work. I'm undecided.
The problem is those moments were few and far between. I'm not saying the guy needs to do more mathematical proofs, but the show had a lot of content that was kind of "Ow my balls" class. An example that come to mind is Amy showing up dressed in bondage gear...basically just for the purposes of portraying a scantily-clad woman for a few seconds.
Agreed. When they were brought back suddenly they became all about making modern-day topical jokes (about Lady Gaga, Twitter, etc.) and throwing the whole "it's the year 3001" bit out the window. Plus, after Leela banged Zap Brannigan, again, willfully...something was just lost. In the sexing-up of the characters was another huge detraction.
All that to say, I bet if it had been brought back on Adult Swim, things would have been different.
The burden for accuracy should be on the data broker, and they should be liable if they sell incorrect data.
Yeah I wouldn't mind that one bit. Maybe this would be a different matter, but a couple years ago I almost wasn't given a job because the background check company flagged me as having a criminal record. The person had the same first and last name (but not middle), and birthday (but different year) as me but I was held up for a month and the owner almost moved on to different candidates because of this. It took very little to flag me as a crook, but the burden of proof then fell on my shoulder to exonerate myself with LexisNexus, for some guy's crime over a thousand miles from where I live.
It's interesting, when I was trying explain Bitcoins to someone when I was first interested in them, they told me to look up tulip bulb prices in the 1600s as a parallel to what they thought Bitcoins would turn out to be. At $90 a "coin" it has reached the point where all it's missing is the *pop* and we can add it to the list.

You make some good points, but all I could think of when I read that line was Homer using a gun to shoot open his beer can.
As opposed to not knowing what an ion is? If you slept through high school chemistry, Slashdot is happy to dumb everything down for you.

I don't think anyone who spells out "Slashdot" rather than typing"/." (you know because then the website would be http:///..com. The whole joke behind why this site is called what it is) is in a position to comment on how far it's fallen. I also don't see how the person who submitted the article explaining the simplest concept in the summary but not the more advanced ones is anything more than curious/funny.

Sorry, just picked up Skyrim again after almost a year. But, if your point is that at one point in time, very far off, these two 'hunks of rock' may have been attached then I suppose you're correct. I mean, if the Big Bang was an explosion of matter in space (at one point in time), these hunks of rock may have been very close to the matter that makes up yours or my body at one point. However, I'll trust NASA if they say that for our purposes, that on a smaller timescale, these two have nothing to do with each other.

How many COD games are there again?
Should I tell you from my high res gaming console or from my minecraft esq one?
When Qbert games match your quality of gaming output, you should re-evaluate your purchase.
"high res gaming console" HAH! Good one. Console games aren't even in 720p anymore, they are 600p and lower, upscaled to 720p running at 30fps.
You keep thinking your puny console is high res, in the meantime I'll be enjoying truly gaming at "high res", on my PC.
Yeah, this is true. For example Target pays $1 million each day to credit card companies due to fees. That's why they always try and get you to sign up for a store card, saving 5% on each of your transaction actually still saves them money overall. I doubt they'll switch to implementing fees now that they have the opportunity, they like to set their company policy nationally so as long as some major states have it illegal, they won't implement.
This law is more about the Mom & Pop corner stores that have always had to have a $10 minimum for credit card fees, now it might be more convenient for them to allow credit cards for a bottle of soda, provided they can up the charge and not lose money on the sale. It'll also encourage people to switch back to good old cash that way.
I don't know about people's financial background by looking at them, so I can't comment on whether or not a lot of the EBT customers I know "deserve" (whoever defines what that means) food stamps, but I can say they they are misused and promote a false sense of entitlement. I used to work at a grocery store in the middle of a Downtown, and a lot of EBT people were wasting it on soda, chips, candy, etc. I mean, spending tax dollars that are set aside for food on something with no nutritional value is pretty backasswards. Also, it would make people ornery as fuck about things that weren't food stamp-able to the point management would rather just have us alter the code for an item and change it than to argue with them. In those cases it was always something like a prepared sandwich (food stamps aren't legal for restaurant/prepared food) or chocolates that they got from the greeting card section (the item was more about the box design and design than its sustenance). BTW, just to clarify for you libertarians: your tax dollars are being spent so someone else can buy valentines chocolates for their girlfriend. *shields face from computer*
This isn't the first time police have used something like this as "evidence". Back in 2008, before the RNC in St. Paul, the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNC_8>police arrested an anarchist group for "planning terrorist activities" and cited tires in their garage as being there for burning at the convention. I mean, who doesn't have 2 sets of tires in Minnesota, and where the hell else are you supposed to store them beside the garage? My god, think of all the knives (deadly weapons) and and the huge flammable gas hookup found behind the doors at every restaurant. Can cops shut those places down if they get a bad meal?
It depends; what people are looking for in a review is relative. For example, this Netflix review has basically nothing in terms of analysis and criticism, but a 100% helpfulness rating. And I defy anyone who is looking at possibly watching Nat'l Lampoon's Barely Legal to say that review didn't hit the nail on the head in terms of what they wanted to know. But, no professional reviewer/critic would ever in their right mind write such a thing.

Lamps, dog food, and records aren't currency, but if someone broke in your house stole them from you it would still be a crime.
