So that's like... one in eighty hit?

I read somewhere that the British air safety people have said they wont allow any civilian carriers to fly in or out of the UK with this system.

Which pretty much screws ryanair.

Couple of points, your face would be awful close to the seat back in front of you if you do happen to be in for some serious turbulence or bumps, even non emergency events could have you "simulate" a face plant.

Secondly, at the British Midland crash in the mid eighties in northern england (Kegworth??), a common occurrence was sitting passengers legs flailing forward on impact and being broken on the seat in front. Seems that would be more pronounced if your standing. Also, the passengers on that flight who were able to fold down the seat in front (if it was empty) were more likely to survive, others suffered serious head injuries or were killed outright by hitting the seatback in front.

Roger Stanford: Is that a fact.

That's how I see it, except for the <men> part, insert Sifters please.

Thank ye, nonetheless.

Well done. You're turning into a real chichholumbo.

Bronze Gold star party like it's Nineteen Eighty-Four? I've actually had the bronze gold for probably about half a year now... just no one noticed before.

Watch for the Black Hole "Remake"

Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski takes on 1979 sci-fi film
"Disney are going back to the eighties with a reinvention of the sci-fi classic The Black Hole. The remake has a top team behind it with direction from Tron Legacy's Joseph Kosinski and screenplay courtesy of Travis Beacham who penned Clash of the Titans. They have also have producer Sean Bailey involved on the potentially 3D project.

The original, directed by Gary Nelson, at the time was the most costly Disney film ever made, and saw the longest computer graphics shot at that point in history leaving it with nominations for cinematography and visual effects at the Academy Awards that year.

The remake will recount in much more detail, the story of spaceship Palamino discovering the presumed dead Dr. Hans Reinhardt in a lost, robot controlled ship hovering over a black hole. Reinhardt, even after twenty years, remains to determind to find what lies beyond the hole - be that immortality or oblivion...

When I was growing up in the Albany, NY area in the late eighties they test marketed this approach to selling milk. So, I do recall getting milk in bags like this for a period of a year or so. Obviously, it never stuck and I'd just assumed the idea was dead. Funny to see it lives on in Canada.

Of course those large cafeteria milk dispensers with a weight you lift to allow the milk to flow just have big plastic bags on the inside as well.

Call it syncronicity, who do you work for??-I pulled triumph outta my ass on a search today, listened to this song for the 1st time in 30 years, how the fuck could you have known? I guess the NSA gets better and better every year-It's not obscure, pop/rock from the eighties, band from Canada, o;ny thing makes them obscure is that it's good rock from Cananda thay made it on the charts in the US, and that farhads' prolly never heard of em.....
In reply to this comment by enoch:
should i put an obscure tag on this band?
i saw them three times and they fuckin ROCK!
pop it's cherry please kind sir.

I award one slows eighties clap to that man. Tact and genius, with a side of kickboxing in case things went down hill!

goddamn this so infuriates me
EVERY SINGLE LCD SCREEN IS TRANSPARENT
and we've had those since the eighties
they just have a white plastic sheet behind it to catch the light from the edges
oleds are damn cool for a number of reasons but dammit, this is not one of them

Wow, where do all you people live that you have such terrible service? I have had bad service maybe once in every eighty times I go out. And even then it's not abysmal, just not great.

I'll be sure to stay away from wherever it is you're all at. Did I hear someone say the great "make better society" Europe?

Colbert is the king sure i've said it before
but his satirical swing would be and unnecessary thing
if folks would only read nineteen eighty four

I inadvertently sifted this movie. I want to merge mine with this one but this one is discarded. How should we handle this?

I will do that, Griefer. I absolutely loved that piece. It made me feel like a ghost. I can't believe it's from the late eighties.

In reply to this comment by griefer_queafer:
Thanks! I can't tell you how happy that makes me!

Even if this vid inspired JUST you. Thats all that matters.

Leighton Pierce was a guest professor in my film program, and I will never forget how inspiring and helpful he was. You can check out the rest of his vids at vimeo.

Cheers.

Excellent explanation. Makes it clear why the old Eighty-Eight we had left one tread mark when it peeled out. (And highlighting the need for a limited-slip differential. I'm with Aero up there, I'm curious how those work.)
