TIL Hollywood is completely out of ideas. 86 movie sequels currently in development for the next couple years. by ll_shadesin todayilearned

that's not entirely based on how well movies are doing. ticket prices are pretty damn high, too.

it's not because they're out of ideas. it's because people aren't spending money at the theater like they used to, so they are going for sure things. sequel performance is a lot easier to predict.

synaptics-dkms should do the trick. i'm running this on my cr-48.

first add the repository: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ppa:utouch-team/utouch then install the synaptics dkms package in package manager. You should be all set.

The eternal question: iPhone 4 or Blackberry Bold? by kimboooin gadgets

[–]tspderek 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's all about what you want. Blackberry is good for people who just want to check their email, have a notifications system that is nice and out of the way, and maybe want a good physical keyboard. BB is the communication phone. Want apps? Android and iphone. To me the biggest difference is the iphone is more locked down, but some people like this sort of thing. Also can be easier to deal with. To me both are for people who want to play with their phone - apple for people who want to play games and download apps only, android for people who want greater freedom with their phone, what it can do, and maybe want to mess with it a bit. personally i'd go with android over iphone cause the iphone notifications system is total crap.

i have had several blackberries. i like them, but am starting to really want an android phone. but my wife recently went from an iphone 3g to a torch and loves the torch - it does what she needs and stays out of her way the rest of the time.

What is the man equivalent of flowers? And before you say flowers, I already asked and he doesn't want flowers. by ThrewItOverTherein AskReddit

Monty Python is funny. Some kid dropping monty python quotes over and over like they're his own is not funny. They're the geek equivalent of people who say "git r done" or lines from austin powers.

I don't think we have hipsters up here. The cold kills 'em cause wearing coats is too mainstream.

The duct tape thing is stupid. It was funny in high school. Duct tape, saying 42 as the answer to questions, and monty python quotes are no longer funny or clever. They're the geek equivalent of low brow humor.

For people who have dropped cable television in favor of netflix, hulu etc. Any regrets? by pre777in AskReddit

I have comcast voice and internet, and when i hooked up my new hd unit a few weeks ago i plugged it into the cable just for the hell of it. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that comcast broadcasts the local broadcast channels for free - so I got to watch the bowl anyway.

Shopping for a Plasma, LG or Samsung? by LiarInGlassin gadgets

[–]tspderek 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I just picked up the Samsung PN50C550 - the 50" version. $850 at best buy. I love it. Looks fantastic. It was down to this or 46" LED LCD LG, which was $1000. I went with the plasma for the quality of movement and the fact that I could throw in a blu ray that does netflix and vudu for another 100 bucks and still spend less than the LG. (the lg had those things built in, but you'd still need something to play blu ray discs.)

Lots of inputs on the samsung, too.

edit: forgot to mention the 550 is a 1080p unit. IMO the 720p plasmas look like butt.

Holy Shit. It is 4am, I was just woken by gunshots and screaming in the flat below me. I called the cops. What now?!?! by JamesJamesJimmyin AskReddit

If he has no landline and is a redditor, there's a more than decent probability that he borrows wifi from someone else nearby. For a couple of lean years that was how I used the internets.

It's not that they had sex. It's knowing specifically when they had the sex that created you. It's odd.

I have 4 gigs of ram on my laptop, but the task manager is only showing 3 gigs. Any ideas on why? by FivePoppedCollarCoolin AskReddit

You don't need to buy a new OS. You just need the 64 bit disc of whatever version you have now. Just make sure you get OEM if you are using an OEM install (IE came with the laptop.) Like if you're using home premium OEM get a 64-bit home premium oem DVD, use the code from the bottom of the laptop, and you're good. You should be able to download the DVD online or borrow someone's copy. your key covers both versions.

I like it. Submitter is being a bit of a cock, though. Use his icon, but change it ever so slightly.

Just bought this for the first time - holy crap it's delicious. I've never had such delicious milk. We go through a few gallons a week, it's double the money, but I don't care. It's worth it.

DAE use Q-Tips to clean their ears, blatantly ignoring the 'do not use in ear canal' warning? by megaman5in DoesAnybodyElse

It can push things up into your ear canal even further. You should never put anything any further into your ear than you can stick your pinky, if I recall correctly.
