Doesn't seem like you care a whole lot, but just FYI, that change only affects people that were born fairly recently. Like the past year or so. No idea why

Can you post your source? I read that this is nothing new. Astronomers have known for a long time that the sun passes through 13, not 12, constellations. Here's the story that's going around now. http://www.myfoxal.com/Global/story.asp?S=13829168


I don't really care about this crap, but I get a kick out of observing people who are all upset about it. :)

I was looking for where I read it, and can't seem to find it, only other sources that contradict what I was saying. I supposed I stand corrected.

It really effects people in the eastern hemisphere. Over here in the western, we go by a tropical zodiac.

It was in /b/ of course. I posted a single picture in a jailbait thread... fully clothed girl, probably 15-16. Apparently that is grounds for a ban. Oh well. It was just because I took part by posting in the thread.

Here be Tron spoilers:

Finally got around to watching this. Saw it in Imax 3D a couple of weeks ago, then watched it again in Disney Digital 3D while at sea, as they were playing it heavily in one of the theaters onboard.

Conflicted...

Cute film, actually. No real gripes with the storyline- it's no more silly than the first one. (Not sure why the whole world collapsed at the end when Flynn derezzed, but whatever.) Actually, the Flynn character was really well-written, I thought. Just a little bit of The Dude in there. And plenty of little sight-gags and in-jokes to keep us old folks happy. Anybody notice how one of the shipping containers read, in very old and faded lettering, "Dumont Shipping"? Dumont was the tower guardian program created by real-world Dr. Walter Gibbs, who as Ed Dillinger Sr. noted, started Encom in his garage. Same garage?

(Speaking of which, why the hell did they introduce Ed Dillinger Jr. at the beginning and then totally forget about him?)

But the visuals bothered me.

The world "inside" is supposed to look like CG. More specifically, it's supposed to look like a virtual world. Objects and landscapes are supposed to be smooth and massles and made of light, not rough and textured and made of physical matter. Why do the recognizers need to emit a visible trail of propellant and hot gas out of the bottom? Where does Flynn get off having physical books and a big ole' roasted pig in his abode? Hell, that whole apartment seemed like it ought to have been inhabited by David Bowman.

Ok, so maybe it's supposed to reflect advances in technology over time. Computer graphics in the real world have progressed, so they progressed "inside" as well. I don't buy that for an instant, but we'll run with it. Well, Flynn disappeared in '89. So the hardware on which "the grid" was running would have been no newer than that, and as one presumably does not create such a world overnight, probably a year or two older.

Anybody remember what CG looked like in '89? About the same as it did in '82, just with shorter render times. The famous Pixar short "Tin Toy" was made in '88 and represented the state of the art at the time:

I wouldn't. Just more chance to get stopped up and have to replace it again.

Gawd I hate designing fuel systems. It's hard to do on the cheap AND correctly (read: safely).

I want to be an "instructor" so I can tell people that I'm an "instructor" and since I'm an "instructor" I can tell them how much I don't know because I'm an "instructor". Also, since I'm an "instructor" I'd like to let you all know that open passing is unsafe.

For all you religion attackers and non-believers. The bible was not written yesterday. Ever think God is just sick and tired of being sick and tired of what goes on in California? These events are not only predictd in the Bible but also by scientists, two factions that rarely agree on anything. Should tell you something. The gulf of Mexico crisis has damage yet to be determined by interupting the gulf current up to Europe. Is it any wonder government has removed God from everything it possibly can, playing right into the hand of Satan. Time to look the other way. Bring God and Jesus Christ back into the scheme of things. Or run the risk. The choice is yours. Choose wisely and don't blame ayone but yourself for the choice. Christians are, in case you had not noticed, trying to save your soul. Not sell you anything but the belief in God and his son, our Savior Jesus Christ.

Reverant 01-18-2011 10:53 AM

So did God create the California superstorms in the years 212, 440, 603, 1029, 1418, and 1605 to show the non-believers that they must convert to Christianity?

Braineack 01-18-2011 10:54 AM

God does not create pain. Only miracles. Dumbass.
