Re: Jurassic World - Trailer #2 (Universal Pictures) HD
JP1: During the opening scene there were men armed with shotguns, which they used on the raptor in the cage IIRC. During the course of the film both Muldoon (park ranger guy) and Grant (kid spooking archeologist guy) tried to use a shotgun against raptors as well. Muldoon was unsuccessful due to bei...

It's got Ahmad-i-Nejad as a cackling maniac. On the other hand, it apparently has the Israelis as trigger-happy nuts, and possibly the US government cast as the big unfeeling thing that doesn't pay a lot of attention to intelligence about upcoming attacks (like 9/11). Not great, but it's better tha...

Re: Notorious Reddit Troll exposed
Yeah, and I'm sure the fact that Gawker was banned immediately after this article was just a huuuge coincidence. Totally not a lame attempt to stop people from reading it! Nevermind banning a link to Gawker would do absolutely zero to stop them "stealing" the endless piles of shitty memes...

Re: Notorious Reddit Troll exposed
Reddit works like any other free forum plattform. You can start your own little forum (actually, there is no rule it has to be reddit-style forum) and do anything there that doesn't break the law. Trying to make definitve statement about all subreddits is an extremely idiotic endeavour. Most subredd...

Re: Notorious Reddit Troll exposed
Sure, the reddit admins were complicit for years in the sexualization of children, supported by a huge chunk of their userbase, but now they're really sorry and it was all just a bunch of bad apples.

Re: Notorious Reddit Troll exposed
Reddit has introduced a new rule banning all pictures of minors. I don't remember of the top of my head whether that was limited to pictures that are sexual in nature. A huge number of subreddits have been banned (yes, even those that are perfectly legal even in the US), although that was a developm...

Re: Attn: XCOM shit in this thread.
The alien base is even one of the easiest forced storyline missions. It was much easier than random missions at a similar time. Not if you take a peek and find yourself facing Mutons for the first time with essentially default starting gear ;) (and learn that the bastards are carrying grenades. Hal...

VW has just recently announced a car they plan to produce from 2013 on that is a hybrid and makes 235 mpg. And how is that number determined, hm? Is that an average with both engines running, or mainly using electric, or what? How's the mileage when the battery is drained, such as might happen on a...

Re: 50 months to avoid climate disaster
While I agree with the rest of you post, I have to jump in here and rebut this. You are only looking at current EVs. We are only in the early stages of EV development, most manufacturers don't even have a single model on the market, yet. Actually, this is the second time around for electric cars. I...

A similar case happened in Germany a couple of years ago. Somehow, the result of the search of the MP's offices made it to the press before the search was even finished. Though it has to be said that the guy was pretty naive to think his parlamentary immunity would allow him to disprove the "CP...

Re: Japan might finally jail someone for possession of CP
Huh? I thought "real" CP was forbidden even in Japan?
The claim of there being a "child pornography's rapid spread over the Internet" is pure bullshit, though. That meme shouldn't be left unrebutted, because it is used to argue for internet censorship.
