    ...to misspell "you're" as "your", throw in...

    Hey grammar Nazi asshole - punctuation goes on the inside of the closing quotation mark.
    If you're going to be a pedant on grammar, at least use proper grammar.

    I thought they appear red when you see them before there has been any comment in them.
    There were certainly occasional red head(ings) prior to the recent re-design.

    Well...you can just use Skype to dial in to AOL and then you can avoid the long distance charg...oh, wait.

  5. Re:I have to say I'm impressed on New York Times Reports US and Israel Behind Stuxnet · · Score: 1

    1) I didn't think the US was sophisticated enough to help with something like this, much less keep its Facebook privacy settings. Maybe the US contribution was just 'click on google.ir?'

    2) This is much, much preferable to Israel bombing (or even nuking) bits of Iran. Shutting down their nuclear bomb program this way is far better - of course it also lets the cat out of the bag.

    1) You're joking, right? Oh yeah, the U.S. has never had a sophisticated covert program.

    2) yeah, your spot on with that one.

    For fuck's sake, the Bill of Rights does not grant us any rights at all...it LIMITS how the government can impose on our rights to do....well...really whatever the fuck we want, provided we are not infringing on other's rights. We don't need a constitutional amendment stating clearly by our founding fathers that we have a right to fly from D.C. to San Fran. on an A-380 without getting an anal probe. We have that right to begin with and congress shall make no law requiring us to have an anal probe to fly on an A-380...(or something like that...I may be para-phrasing here)

  9. Raging Bull on Long Takes In the Movies, Antidote To CGI? · · Score: 1

    Raging Bull had a great long shot that also changes from a hand-held camera to a crane shot. It starts in Jake Lamotta's dressing room, and follows /leads him out into and down a hall, into the boxing arena, then becomes a crane shot, still following his trek to the ring....

  14. Re:Give me 35mm anamorphic B&W thank you on Filmmakers Resisting Hollywood's 3-D Push · · Score: 1

    Though I agree with your sentiment, "La Vita Dolce" is the only picture in your list that was shot 35mm Anamorphic. (2.35 || 2.39 || 2.40:1 depending on which years' SMPTE definition you want to use (but all are correct ratios for anamorphic))
    They rest were, I believe VistaVision (1.66:1) or Academy (1.37:1)
    If the DVD says "Widescreen anamorphic," it is referring to the widescreen encoding on the DVD to squeeze the wider aspect ratio to fit a television, however they were not filmed 35mm anamorphic.

    We're talking about Twitter...a 20 years barring is permanent.

  17. Re:Opera! on Firefox 3.6.4 Released With Out-of-Process Plugins · · Score: 5, Insightful

    However it it was really all that, it would have a much larger fan base.

    Popularity != better. Since IE has the largest fan base, you're saying that IE is the browser that is "all that?"

    Just because they have had something for a while now, does not mean that Firefox, which is a far more popular browser, getting it is not a big deal.

    Sure it's a big deal. Although it would have been a bigger deal if they were the first on the block to have gotten it.

    Opera people always crack me up.

    FF fanbois always crack me up. Do you people ever get tired of the pissing contest? Ever? And by the way, I am typing this in Konqueror. Suits my needs well enough.

  18. Re:My take as an old time firefox user ... on Firefox Is Lagging Behind, Its Co-Founder Says · · Score: 1

    Opera has a plugin system called "widgets" that is quite capable, and the UI is very customizable, such as choosing what you want on which tool bar/area, keyboard shortcuts, customize address bar search and others. What do you want for "real gui modification?" (I mean that as a real question, not rhetoric)

    Yes, for example...

  20. Re:14k buys a lot of film. on How To Get 39 Megapixels From a 53-Year-Old Camera · · Score: 1

    You might remember it from "last century".

    You might remember it from "last millenium"
    There...fixed it for ya.

    That being said, would you really want to invest in $14k worth of film???
    How many more roll's worth of shots can be made on the new retro fit 'blad digital back?
    Considering that this will retro fit to any of their bodies made since 1957 you can keep this device working and up to date for quite a long time to come.
    Not to mention, $14k worth of film doesn't take into consideration the costs involved in processing all that film. As film becomes a lost art, there are going to be fewer and fewer places that you can get film processed and the costs will likely keep going up.
