I liked this article.  It talks about a variety of stories that deal with going back in time and killing Hitler.  Seems like a more popular topic than I was made aware of.

J.J. Abrams on lens flare use:

Quote:
"I know I get a lot of grief for that," says Abrams. "But I'll tell you, there are times when I'm working on a shot, I think, 'Oh this would be really cool… with a lens flare.' But I know it's too much, and I apologize. I'm so aware of it now. I was showing my wife an early cut of Star Trek Into Darkness and there was this one scene where she was literally like, 'I just can't see what's going on. I don't understand what that is.' I was like, 'Yeah, I went too nuts on this.'"

"This is how stupid it was," J.J. Abrams added. "I actually had to use ILM [Industrial Light & Magic] to remove lens flare in a couple of shots, which is, I know, moronic. But I think admitting you're an addict is the first step towards recovery."

So, you mean, unlike Lucas and Shamalan, he apologizes for his stupidity?

I missed the part of the article where he bent over the original series and f-ed all the characters into terrible parodies of them...was that in there?

What Michael Bay did to Pearl Harbor was worse than anything the Japanese could pull off.

The US Court of Appeals struck down net neutrality today.  The best part was this comment justifying the decision:  “Without broadband provider market power, consumers, of course, have options.  They can go to another broadband provider if they want to reach particular edge providers or if their connections to particular edge providers have been degraded.”

I would like the US Court of Appeals to tell me what other options I have for broadband that can provide similar throughput to the crappy Comcast broadband I'm stuck with.  Something tells me the judges have no grasp of the realities of the broadband market.

It's the same thing here.  You can have Comcast, or you can have super slow ass Century Link DSL.  That's it.

Too bad it'll take up 3 slots in the bay!

Seriously, how has MB and tower design not changed to fit these monsters?  I feel like towers should come with a hinge to support the middle of load on video cards now!

$3,000 for a single video card is pretty crazy, especially considering that two single-core Titans would only cost $2k.

That said, I'm really, really excited to see what this thing can do.  With 12GB of VRAM, I might actually be able to run Skyrim at 1440p with all of my mods enabled again.  Maybe if I had the house paid off...  ;p

Yeah the thing is literally huge Patsy.  I saw a video where someone zoomed in on it and the thing is literally larger than most peoples shoes.
