I guess I should read the articles before hitting enter. So this is actually some guy that has retained the brand Commodore and not the company that built my introduction to the digital age.
I pray that this is a hoax....please be a hoax....
Is that really their site? It's horrific! I searched for their international site and all that came up was http://www.commodoreworld.com/ and http://www.commodorecorp.com/, both of which have Under Construction images that 1998 wants back. NO ONE is going to take them seriously with the way that site stands.
It frustrates me as the C64 was my first machine and I wouldn't have gotten interested in computers with out that thing, and now they're attempting a comeback with site that looks like it was created using Tripod's HTML editor for WEB TV!?
On a positive note, the devices are pretty.
My wife and I are such Iron Maiden fans that we played their song Run to The Hills during our wedding! That being said, Iron Maiden has long offered posters, t-shirts, action figures and an amazing concert experience...not just CDs. I actually have purchased all their albums on vinyl as the cool artwork featuring their character, Eddie, looks much better on a record insert/cover than a CD. Great to see an article here on a group that are not only great musicians, but awesome performers and all-round artists as well.
Hopefully the rest of the world won't be distracted by the death of a pop star this year and will truly pay attention to what Iran's citizens are saying.
I don't know how it works in the U.K, but here in the States, most prisons allow the inmates to purchase items using commissary and from what I've heard, that includes CD's.
Sorry about the double post. What I meant to say @DJ, you are correct. I should have mentioned that anyone that had crossed the border could post anonymously and then on the questionaire, it would ask if you had a laptop and did DHS search it. I personally disagree w/ DHS on this, however, because I don't view it as helping prevent any attacks other than checking to see if the device can operate so they know it's not a 'netbook shaped' chunk of C4 or something similarly dangerous. If an attacker or terrorist was sofisticated enough to coordinate an attack on the U.S, why would they risk bringing physical data across the border when they can access it remotely (as stated in the article) from a free hotspot once here?
Seems like they should spend more time searching toolboxes & confiscating box-cutters IMO.
I agree.
So perhaps we need some third party data/analysis? Like, DHSsearchedMyLaptop.org where users can anonymously report the date & time they were searched at the border & how in depth it was. Many people probably wouldn't want to post on such a site and there'd be a margin of error, but it's not the 'fox's' data. Just a suggestion.
Wow, that's about all I can say. I almost wept tears of joy reading these inspiring words that came from a director. I for one will be seeing this film in the theatres, buying the DVD and telling all my friends and co-workers to. Oh, and sign me up for an "Its not either/or, its AND" shirt! Go see Rage!
I hope his car had Blade Runner type sounds to warn any pedestrians at the bottom of the cliff. :-)
I wonder if he has one of those "God is My Co-Pilot" bumper stickers. Snoogins.
If it sounded like KITT, it would more likely say, "Michael, I'm detecting a careless pedestrian 10 metres to the North West." or something similar. But, in London, wouldn't the 'sign' read "Look Right?" Here in The States I always look left as that's where the traffic is coming from. Plus, a Brit would be equally 'dumb' if they were here and stood on the side of the road all day looking for said 'painted sign.'
PS. I want my Nissan to sound like a skateboard so security guards will harrass me. :-)
Exactly, and thank you. I've done my share of "illegal" file sharing but if I like something, I pay for it. I have YouTube and P2P of all types to thank for discovering so many new artists, musicians, authors, etc. If they're good, I buy their stuff, if they suck, I don't and I quite seeding, watching, what-have-you. I know I may be a minority but I don't get how the MPAA & the RIAA say that "one download equals one failed sale" of an album, ticket, whatever. I wouldn't have even heard of a good 30% of creators' work I've purchased due to finding them through the means I mentioned above. Oh, and Kevin Smith has had his own run-ins with the MPAA and their Gestapo; http://techdirt.com/articles/20080910/0423552225.shtml
That's weird, I seriously just finished watching An Evening With Kevin Smith 2 (Part 1) on Netflix's Watch It Now, I open my phone, refresh Tech Dirt and this is on here. Netflix only has Part 1 available for streaming so I was contemplating downloading Part 2 using bit torrent. Even if I "Pirate" it or not, I'm still going to buy it because it's so freakin' entertaining that I'll watch it over & over and I know that his DVD's usually have awesome special features. So, bravo Kevin Smith, for viewing "piracy" as something to adapt to and use to your advantage and I wish you many more converts. Thank you for being a sane person in "Hollywood."
Re: Three Steps
Yep, and Eddie Murphy too.
