Borderline Movies

List films you're not sure if they land on the happy side of par...or just barely fail...or just hit the line...Mine's "Bladerunner"--I STILL can't tell if that's the best bad movie or worst good movie I've ever seen...it has some of the best stylistic and atmospheric elements of any even partially-action film I've seen...but even with the PDK book's ideas and the VK test...so DULL, and plodding, with a plot heavier on conceptualization than payoff, until the very, very end...I dunno.

GATTACA was a future-tense docudrama.

"We were appalled when we found out," says Brown, who's a registered nurse. "Why do they need to store my baby's DNA indefinitely? Something on there could affect her ability to get a job later on, or get health insurance."

Hey there are a bunch of acronyms used on this forum about the game that I haven't been able to figure out. I did a search and couldn't find them anywhere. Does anyone have a list?

I love mute thread!

Since I have been gone for 2 years, many things have changed. The thing that I LOVE is the option to mute threads. Not that everything the people on this site say isn't fascinating, but it sure helps me clean up things and get to the threads that I am really interested in. Whoever came up with this idea...+1.

I don't like gunboats

I'm playing my first GB game and I don't like it. I don't like not being able to congratulate my ally on a good move. I don't like not being able to duck with my enemy. I don't like seeing a briliant move that requires cooperation and not being able to tell my potential cooperator about it, so that he doesn't bounce me. I do not like it Sam I Am, I do not like GB and ham.

Double Murderer is LAPD Whistleblower?

Some excerpts from what is essentially a Declaration of War against the police and their families:

"From 2/05 to 1/09 I saw some of the most vile things humans can inflict on others as a
police officer in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, it wasn’t in the streets of LA. It was in the
confounds of LAPD police stations and shops (cruisers). The enemy combatants in LA
are not the citizens and suspects, it’s the police officers."

"Citizens/non-combatants, do not render medical aid to downed officers/enemy
combatants. They would not do the same for you. They will let you bleed out just so they
can brag to other officers that they had a 187 caper the other day and can’t wait to accrue the overtime in future court subpoenas. As they always say, “that’s the paramedics job…not mine”. Let the balance of loss of life take place. Sometimes a reset needs to occur."

12 hours since this hit the news and cops throughout Southern California have already shot at least 3 innocent people for driving a truck that looks kina-sorta like that driven by the author of the manifesto.

Chicago is just as bad if not worse. Indy police is good simply because they don't use their weapons unless they have to use them. They realize there are other ways to get people off the streets that they don't want there.

Invictus (240 )

I don't care what happened to this guy or how corrupt the LAPD is, Christopher Dorner is nothing but a murderer. Not a whistle-blower, not a folk hero. He's a bad man and I feel dirty for even having read his "manifesto." This piece of garbage deserves to fry if they catch him alive.

"I am here to correct and calibrate your morale compasses to true north."

1. You don't do that by shooting fellow cops
2. moral, not morale...your manifesto, sir, would be more impressive if you didn't misspell your own self-righteous platitudes (and, oh yeah, if you didn't, you know, go about shooting people...)

Yeah, the LAPD has its bad side to it.
Everyone in LA knows that.
Even so,
1. That does not excuse murdering cops and
2. That does not excuse murdering cops.

Obi - "2. moral, not morale" couldn't agree more obi, I think there is a direct coloration between bad spelling and mass murderers. If we could only get kids to spell better we'd have fewer murders I'm sure of it.

In other related news, the LAPD seriously wounded two elderly women in a shooting who happened to be driving the same make/model truck as the suspect. This is an outrage and an embarrassment to responsible law enforcement officers everywhere.

Best browser for webdip on Macs

I am running OSX Lion on several macs in my house and continuously drop connection to the web dip server. I go to refresh a page or move to another and I just watch the pinwheel spin and eventually tell me that Google Chrome cannot connect to the server. I have tried both Safari and Firefox with no better results. Is this a browser problem, or do I have to change some settings? Should I change browsers? Help!

Do Advertisements Reflect or Influence the Culture?

Advertisements (commercialized propaganda) are often criticized for portraying things in certain ways. The first thing that comes to my mind are cigarette ads. But shouldn't a financially aware institution conform to the cultural mindset in order to maximize profit? Could it be that everyone in the United States is a hypocrite?
