I have a Sony BDP S-360 and the only problem I've had with it is that the latest firmware update is somehow incompatible with recent 20th Century Fox titles. I couldn't play Avatar, Predators or The A Team. Either there's a bug in their firmware they haven't fixed or Fox is so heavy handed with the copy protection that the player can't read through it.

I have a Sony player too. Though it still plays Avatar since I haven't updated the firmware since ever really. Never had to bother. Plays everything I put into it so far. Aside from this one time I experimented and tried to play some old wmv files in it. Played some of the wmv files, just not all. I also put some mpg files in there that it played just fine.

Shia Lebeouf has given up blockbuster films, so I'd say the window on a SW reboot has passed.

Everyone who drives funnels crap into the general environment, the air pollution levels caused by puffing away is practically non existent compared to cars but you can chose a car in colour you like without the need of a great big pair of clogged up lungs painted on the bonnet.

You talk like there's no electric cars or hybrids that lessen such a thing. Even so lets say those things entirely don't exist. The benefits of transport vehicles vastly outweigh the benefits of cigarette smoking. An ambulance can bring with it equipment to save the life of an individual suffering a heart attack. A truck can bring enough food for 50 or more people. A person can get fast food for their family so they can survive another day. A van can bring a movie to a movie theater which brings entertainment to many movie goers. A helicopter can bring large containers of water to stop a forest fire. A firetruck can make it possible to stop an apartment fire. A plane can bring vaccinations around the world. Trains and subways make it possible for people to get to work and sustain the economy. You get the idea.

Conversely there's very little benefit that you can attribute to the smoking of a cigarette. You make the smoker feel good for a few minutes and it possibly creates a nice gathering of people who don't mind the smoke for a few minutes.

One helps saves lives, sustains the economy, stops forests from being burnt down, brings medicine, food, entertainment for many. The other basically makes the smoker feel good for a few minutes. When smoking can't measure up in the slightest to the benefits of having a car your argument looses. Yes there's risk to car ownership such as accidents but, there's tons of risk involved with cigarette smoke. So to say cars are worse just because of the smoke factor is just narrow minded when there's far more benefits to having such transportation.

The Youtube video recording for anyone who missed it live(like me).

So we've sent another robot off onto Mars. That's nice, now the real awesomeness is that it's another step towards sending people over there. Continuous testing like this is what will make it possible for humanity to set foot on Mars. All the work and effort put into making this robot land on Mars is letting people know the data to make a successful human trip. That is what excites me about this event.

And why in hell didn't NBC cover this at all. If it weren't for none's link, I would have no idea about this.

I knew all about this, then again I've been following the Olympics through other places other than NBC. I even posted an animated gif from it earlier.

Also I can understand the need to keep Shim on the playing surface, if the decision making process in the protest, was only going to take 5 minutes or so. But why the hell did she have to stay out there for over 30 minutes?

So when this happened I also found out a lot more about fencing so I'll explain this entire thing for ya.

Prior to the match Shin A. Lam got some kind of preferred standing status (don't ask me how that's granted. I don't know I just know that she something like this.) that means that if she either tied or had higher points she would move on to the next fight. This fight was for the chance the battle for the gold medal in the next fight. The loser would be given a chance to battle for the bronze in the next fight.

So at that moment Shin A. Lam was tied for points with Heidemann. All she had to do for a chance at a gold medal fight was run out the clock. Which is when the clock didn't function properly. Her coach made the appeal, the judges reconvened and in spite of the clock malfunction they decided to keep their ruling. This took about 10 minutes. Well Shin wasn't satisfied with that and, the rules in fencing state that if you leave the piste(the platform where they fight on) you are stating that you agree with the judges decision. If you still disagree you must stay there. So approx. 30 minutes into her stance on the piste one of the judges tried to persuade her to accept the decision. She refused and at approx. 45 minutes security had to come in and take her off the piste.

Afterwards both combatants lost their medal rounds. Heidemann got silver Shin got nothing.

All in all even if the clock malfunctioned or the timekeeper screwed up I read a comment elsewhere that makes sense out of this whole thing. "They just didn't want to piss off omega the olympic clock sponsor." Paraphrasing the comment I read. When you think about it like that it makes a hell whole lot of sense. The judges probably thinking "Oh it's just a match leading into a medal fight. If we just quickly sweep it under the rug it'll be forgotten about and omega won't get mad." "Good idea, gotta keep that sponsor money flowing!!!!" It simply doesn't make any sense any other way. Considering today's replay friendly climate. There's no reason they couldn't have just given her and everyone a simple straight hard proof. That according to the tapes the start of the match happened at such and such time and, the point was scored at such and such time. Then make a declarative absolute ruling based off of undeniable fact. Instead they decided to forego the obvious solution to the whole thing and made it into "we just don't think the point was scored outside of the time limit."

PORTLAND, Ore. -- A 40-year-old man is accused of washing his genitals in a drinking fountain at a Portland park.

Witnesses told police the man tried to talk with nearby kids Monday morning then took off clothes and began washing in the fountain at Couch Park.

The Oregonian reports the man was booked into the Multnomah County Jail on charges of indecent exposure, disorderly conduct and misusing a drinking fountain.

He's also charged with disorderly conduct in a separate incident in June and has pleaded not guilty.

That guy's your cousin or something huh???

edit - I'm sad to see the new thread title. I don't think it's wrong to root for your country and I don't think it's wrong to root for other countries' athletes. Everyone should enjoy the Olympics in their own way, and if they don't enjoy the Olympics that's also okay.

Yeah the new thread title brings a sad.... Lets talk about the oddity of watching the olympic 3D channel on a non-3D tv causing it to just show each eye image side by side!!!!

On the NBC official stream you gotta give some code I don't know to watch their stuff. You're supposed to get it from your cable provider. Too much bullshit to go through quite frankly. Also the BBC official stream requires you to be a resident of the UK or, go through the trouble of faking residency via proxy server stuff. All this bullshit....

Phelps and, Lochte pics after the race.

Primary thing I care about during the olympics is the archery.... Sadly I've seen only pics of the archery since NBC and IOC are being copyright asshatery assholes and taking down any vids that pop up on the net and their broadcasts focus on bike peddling.... What the fuck!!!?!?!??!?!?!?!?

In Death Note there's inconsistencies which crop up half way through on the official subtitle tracks that are absent in the dub. In particular the word "Shinigami" is subtitled "Shinigami" as well as in the dub in the first half. The second half the subs translate it as "Death God" or "Gods of Death" depending on the context. Which is weird as IIRC the dub was absent that inconsistency.

Can a human body even move like that? It's like SE Han has rubber bones!

His head and torso? Yes. His forearms, that's a no. His forearms bend in between the wrist and elbow. Even if you're double jointed you wouldn't be able to bend like that. Unless you break your arm that is. New extreme for SE supporters!!! Be like SE Han!!! Break your arm in support of the alteration!!! Get new joints implanted in your arm and you too can bend like SE Han!!! Get it today and receive a courtesy Jar-Jar exclusive DVD with new reproduction Jar-Jar candy action figures!!
