Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Comic-Con 2015 Reel
arghness says...He's in an alien costume, just without the head on here, isn't he? So he's likely not behind the scenes, but he'll be wearing a head and it could be anyone.
I could really do without Simon Pegg popping up in it. I know he's a fanatic, just like with Star Trek, and i was his biggest fan during the Spaced years. But seeing his face every time Hollywood decide they want to pull in a few more niche viewers is getting old. I hope he stayed behind the scenes.

arghness says...The style of this video really reminded me of an article from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Cop Smashes Cell Phone For Recording Him
arghness says...If my job was to pick up litter and instead I dropped litter everywhere while on the job, I'd expect to be fired.
If my job was to protect the public and stop crimes and instead I attacked the public and committed crimes, I'd expect to be fired.
Comparing it to someone else with another job that broke a phone is incorrect. If I broke the phone of one of the people I was doing work for, then yes, I would totally expect to lose my job. If I broke a random persons phone in my spare time, then I would just expect to face normal charges like anyone else.
Aren't you over reaching on this?
If you trashed my phone like that should you lose you job? Say this occurs at your work. I come up to you and start filming. Should you loose you job? As you said "we've got assault and battery, armed robbery, destruction of private property,..." The answer is no.
The cop was a dick and should pay for a new phone and apologize to the lady. His supervisor should reprimand him but not much else, unless its a pattern.
Why Every New Macbook Needs a Different Goddamn Charger
arghness says...Sure, but with the latest Chromebook Pixel being USB-C, Google hinted that the next Nexus would also be USB-C.
USB-C is pretty cool, actually, so it doesn't bother me that much (already been from proprietary->mini USB->micro USB as far as chargers go anyway, plus custom variants of MHL ports). I'm looking forward to this all being standardised and approve of Apple going for a non-Apple proprietary port for once.
Why I use Android devices. Same f'ing Micro-USB charges every device in the house.

Jurassic World - Official Trailer
arghness says...And where are their feathers?
The final shot has me confused. Are the raptors running past Chris Pratt because he has plot armor, or is he actually leading a pack of raptors into battle?

He didn't want to meet them in person?

arghness says...Looks fun but doesn't there need to be some shooting for it to be FPS?
Cameron's Conference Rap
arghness says...Fair enough, I should have expected to be laid in to for expressing a political opinion. Fair play to you -- It is the internet, after all
I spend quite a bit of time in the north and like it there, but most of my time is in the midlands so I'm not going to pretend to know what it's like to live there permanently. The only 2 Scots (only 1 of which could vote due to living there) that I'm in touch with regularly both supported staying unified but are looking forward to the greater powers that Scotland deserve and will get.
The difference between the parties, at least in England, seems pretty minimal to me. Blair didn't seem any better (or worse really, other than ditching the gold reserves all in one go at a rather low price) than Cameron.
What sentiment? Cameron has hammered the poor and needy of this country, sold off the post office to his chummies at half price, raised tuition fees (thanks very much Clegg) and nearly ripped Great Britain apart. Fortunately he knew the right people to oil up and got major banks and businesses to pull out in the few days prior to the vote, scaring people into saying no.
Every single scot i've spoken to (and i speak to loads, my mum lives there) has said that they would let the north come with them if they could and they only want to leave because Westminster and the south are completely disconnected from the rest of the country. It's a different world, and the people running the system have absolutely no experience what life is like for the people that have to use it.
Even John Major came out and said that there are too many (something like 80%) rich background public schoolboys in government. Can you tell me with a straight face that you've been to places like Blackpool near where i live, had to use the buses or queue for unemployment, or had family members suffering with disabilities and/or cancer, and then tell me that you think people like Call-Me-Dave in any way represent their best interests or understand their problems, struggling day to day?
I don't want to sound aggressive, but i do have experience with things like that, and some people in this country are getting to the point of desperation but of course that kinda thing doesn't get on the national news and the majority remain oblivious. If we don't see significant democratic reform in this country, i predict a significant social uprising within a lifetime.
