but yes it could potentially be pretty grotesque

it's a real issue. on the one hand we have to be worried that we have to pay a shitload of buck to use the internet the way we're used to, and on the other big companies can more or less buy the internet and have even more contrl over it.

it's all sorts of fucked up and i'm with dj.. worried the eu will just follow after.

afaik they're just rolling the law back to what it was before obama - in other words, there's no laws again

it's worse than having the neutrality laws in place imo, but it's not like it's instantly the end of the world

Why can't they just leave it alone? It's fine the way it is

Pretty sure there's more to it than that

not really

i mean yeah there are corporate interests who want this to happen, but the law will be what it was pre-obama

no, it's producing both the audio and the video -- I just about managed to fit enough 8-bit mono uncompressed audio data into the 256K of flash on the chip to do a half-decent rendition of michael jackson

Because capitalism is bad.

what's this about tarantino potentially directing star trek lol

DJGrenola

2017-12-05 05:12:45 pm

seems like that would either be amazing or dreadful

Serris

2017-12-05 05:13:59 pm

At this point probably just try anything

DJGrenola

2017-12-05 05:15:35 pm

haha

I didn't see Beyond

Serris

2017-12-05 05:17:57 pm

Isn't that supposed to be the only trekky one of the new movie series? But everyone hates the new show

I don't care to watch any of it

DJGrenola

2017-12-05 05:19:06 pm

Beyond was a film yeah, I think everyone hated it but I'm not really up to date with these things

I've heard various opinions about the new TV series

Serris

2017-12-05 05:21:48 pm

If people tell you to watch the new scifi show by Seth McGroany instead, it seems like the best course of action is to watch neither

i heard both of those shows are good

was thinking of checking them out over the holiday break

and yeah grenola i've been following that tarantino news - i think it would be cool but i'd be fine if they just used his idea and he didn't direct, too

DJGrenola

2017-12-05 06:58:20 pm

I sort of wish tarantino did a bit more directing of stuff other than his own auteur stuff

I know he's done the odd episode of TV and what have you but I'd be really interested to see what he did with something like trek where there are strict boundaries placed by the universe and the characters

me too, i think he would kick ass tbh

DJGrenola

2017-12-05 07:03:04 pm

he wanted to do casino royale too, but that obviously didn't happen
