Commented on VFX engineer on why <em>Star Trek</em> ain't IMAX
I saw some promos for the new Star Trek movie in two different Imax theaters recently (Aliens vs. Monsters in Nashville, TN, and another time at the US Rocket and Space Center in Huntsville, Alabama). I thought the Star Trek...

Commented on If you lose your Amazon account, your Kindle loses functionality
It's easy enough to get non-Amazon books onto your kindle. Send the pdf to an email account you get along with your kindle account and pay a paltry .10 and you've got it. In the extremely unlikely event that your...

Awesome video, even if they did get a bit happy with the whole "whoops, here it comes to hit you in the face" schtick. But even that was kind of cute, in its own way. You could tell 3-D was really novel, at the time. And oh man, what beautiful cars. God, how I wish I could afford to restore an old car like that and make a daily driver of it. Cars from those days just had so much more personality and style to them....

Fully un-loaded, manual transmission, body metal thick enough to qualify as the home tractor it would be. Slow, gas-sipping, cheap and ugly....

In re: #8 People who spend LOTS of time in front of multipurpose screens all day have things like IM and email clients etc running in the background and can't read on a multipurpose screen because we'll get interrupted, like, every ten minutes and/or our short attention span will lead us away. (I'm pretty sure I've read Cory complain about this exact thing somewhere but I have no idea where or if I'm mixed up. Cory is just too many places and says too many things that make sense to me to be sure.) Almighty, this happens every time I...

Personally, if I had a BB complaint, it would be that posting an anonymous comment comes with what is clearly a threat. Moderator note: Huh?...

Seconded: Huh? I post anonymously when I'm in too much of a hurry to sign in, or on rare occasions when I want to make a comment without my identity biasing how it is interpreted. No other significance. Sure, anonymous posting _can_ be misused (or could if the moderators permitted it), but I really don't think any threat is implied here on BB. Elsewhere, deponent saith not....
