About $80K.

Pulled the trigger on this thing today. I hope it's going got at least 10 years in it before it starts breaking down.

Keep on dreaming of all of us getting great TV and movies by paying $20 a month and not getting anything we don't want to see. I hope you're right but I'm not holding my breath.

So we can have movies with 2 locations that are a video store and a convenience store and we won't pay the actors at all. I like this brave new world of filmmaking! Also, those movies didn't get into theaters with those budgets. They got picked up by studios and promoted. If they hadn't...

Please, tell me a movie that anyone at all has seen that cost $60K to make.

"Demonstrably false" LOL. It's a totally different world when people are paying a set rate for all the channels and ratings determine advertising rates. When every single show has to get people to buy it on it's own merits, the risk of making any TV show goes through the roof. The result of...

Good original content is being subsidized by shitty but popular reality shows, the home shopping network, etc. If you stop bundling, there will be more mass appeal stuff and less high quality stuff with a limited appeal. That's all I'm saying.

Call me a nerd, but I would enjoy watching the planes take off and land :P.

The red wedding at least makes sense, and it's used in the books. Purple wedding is just internet faggots going "WE NEED A COLOR FOR THIS ONE TOOOOO".

Netflix produces 3 or 4 shows a year at a cost of $8 a month, and we don't know if they are making any money at it or not. It's an experiment and of course not directly comparable to a cable channel, but I don't think you could say that they are cheaper than a premium cable channel based on the...

Indie music doesn't cost millions per episode to produce. If you are willing to watch shows like "The Guild" instead of Game of Thrones then this will work out well for you.

Sounds like this situation ended very favorably. I was waiting for him to post that she was pregnant. I wash my towel ever 3-6 months whether it needs it or not. It doesn't even smell funny. Has anyone seen this movie? I heard Dr. Drew talking about it and it seems interesting. Home...

The entire purpose of everything is to raise profits. What bundling does is allow less profitable shows/channels to exist. Some of them you don't like, some of them you probably do. If we paid a la carte they would be making less shows and catering to the least common denominator. If you...

This episode was better than last week but the whole thing with Kenny Loggins was half assed and stupid. I'm sure the purple light coming from the suitcase will probably figure in to the rest of the season which gives me some hope but I think the creator has clearly lost his passion for this show.

Yup. Exactly the same as the Seahawks, because math.

Ambiturner is now exploring new frontiers of stupidity.

I've never had cleaners, but I hate the idea of strangers coming into my house and fucking with my shit.

I know people that have gone into social work and found out pretty much the same thing. When you're in school you're thinking "I'm going to help the poor and needy and it will be great!" and then when you start doing it it's like "Oh, my job is to get money for useless piece of shit junkies so...

As others have said, talking about all these other guys is kind of moot since they are not available. If you're not going to pay the quarterback you have, your only real choices are to try to steal somebody's promising backup, rehabilitate some guy that has failed on another team, or draft...

My month old G2 already shit the bed. The headphone jack went crazy and since LG has a cutesy little animation when you plug in headphones it's constantly doing that animation and the audio switches back and forth between coming out of the phone speaker and the headphones. They are sending me...

There wasa thread on The Steel Warriorback in the day where a member that we had recently banned killed a couple of people with an axe (not related to his banning as far as I know). That is a little more than is needed, but a midnight fistfight in the street would be nice, preferably if one or...

Interesting choice making the numbers look like a 7-segment display.

Maybe if you dump the acid into your eyes or you short it out and cause it to explode or something, but not from a shock. To get 40 amps out of 12 volts you have to have a resistance of 0.3 Ohms. It's called "Ohm's Law" for a reason. It's the god damn law.

And you both chose to spoil the end of the movie too! Awesome.

That's a good point. I was in the Bay Area which has a very large Asian population. When I was taking grad school classes at Santa Clara University my classes were like 75% Asians.

Yeah, I can see it both ways. The fact of the matter is that it's hard to get a proven QB and SF has to either pay him or someone else will. If he regresses next year it might lead to a better deal, but if he goes deep in the playoffs again then some team is going to give him big time...

Volts and Amperage are directly related. 12 volts is not enough to get current flowing through your body. Because of the resistance of your body, you need like 50 volts to get enough current flowing that you can even feel it. It doesn't matter that the battery is capable of putting out plenty...

Hah, I almost put in that the female engineers you do see are all asian but I decided that I'd already spouted enough stereotypes for one post :P.

I hate to be the "well actually" nerd, but I don't think you can torture someone with a car battery unless you are hitting them over the head with it. Go grab the battery posts on your car. 12 volts isn't enough to even give you a perceivable shock.

It was interesting to hear McConaughey talking sincerely about God and religion in his acceptance speech after watching Rust's rants about how stupid religious people are.

I am 100% against gun control, but the argument that guns are not more effective at killing people than knives is just retarded. It's extremely obvious that they are.

Based on my experience with engineering, a black female engineer is like a unicorn. She's probably going to get hired for any job that she applies for just because both women and black people are severely underrepresented in the field. Secondly, very few of the female engineers I knew did much...

Seems like the teleprompter is going way too slow. It's making the presenters look like morons.

What's sad is that she won an oscar and she will probably never have another major role. They just don't make that many movies about 400 lb women.

Turned it on just in time to see Ellen taking pictures with that giant phone. This is retarded.

Yeah, DSL is pretty much dependant on how good your wires are and how far down the line you are. You pretty much get what you get.

Iridium is starting to launch a new 72-satellite array that would be capable of giving anyone on the planet 8 Mbit down no matter where they are. It's a replacement for their sat phone array that they already went broke on. I suspect it will be expensive since the satellites cost so much to...

However they chose to evaluate "brains" obviously didn't work out. IQ doesn't translate to being good at survivor at all. It's not really about book smarts, it's about social skills more than real book smarts. I wasn't really down on J'tia until she dumped the rice. That was some dumb ass...
