THAT’S SO NOT TRUE! I SAW HANCOCK AND IT WASN’T SEXUAL OR THAT VIOLENT! IT WAS AWESOME!

Yes, thanks. I think we can disagree and still play nice.

And I *still* wish they had just done what they wanted with this movie, rated it R and cut it loose to stand (or fall) on its merits.

Yeah your right Panda.
The internet has clearly exposed himself to be a “human lifeform”.
And this was supposed to be about Hancock. So I’m sorry.

The 3 word answer I was looking for was (an inert gas)

That’s all no more off-topic BS…

New screenplay I’m pitching… “790 vs. The Internet”. Catchy, idnit?

Hey internet. Easy question you shouldnt need to google if your into Transimpediance Control amps.

How are fiber optic signals boosted along the optical pathway?

Fairly simple question and it will be educational to the Screen Rant readers.

I’m not looking specs just the 3 word explanation.

DWDM I googled. The transimpedance control amplifiers I’ve taken an active interest in previously. And yes, 790, I’m (see that apostrophe there?) allowed to use any resources that I contain in my favor.

Yeah “I Hate The Internet” it was pretty obvious.
I was going to ask “the interent” what DWDM stood for (since I didn’t see that in his pasted info) but I figured he would just look that up as well.

That’s cool, I guess “its” playing with itself, against us???????????????????????????!

“I’ll pretend for the moment that there was a question mark at the end of that statement and answer it if it were a question. While DWDM and other fiber optics technologies, such as automatic transimpedance control amplifiers, which allow the fiber optic signals to be amplified and clarified at the receiver boxes (search http://google.com/patents for Timothy M. Laverick for more information on those), may very well revolutionize streaming… but only the speed of streaming, not necessarily the method.”

Wow did you just like Google that and then copy and paste all that mumbo jumbo from Wikipedia, or what?(Oh and here’s an extra question mark for you, ?)

“Ideas can be good OR bad.”

Absolutely. In fact, I’ve stated so above:

“Those ideas can be right or wrong, but the people themselves have to act. The ideas will not do any harm as long as the parent explains why the actions themselves are wrong. No idea has ever harmed a person on its own.”

There are plenty of idiots in the world (trust me, I’m chock full of idiots), though. No argument there.

Gotta agree with 790. There is usually no action without an idea first. Sure, lots of ideas are GOOD, but the concept of ideas being good in and of themselves is wrong.

Ideas can be good OR bad, and movies, books, TV, etc. put ideas in peoples’ heads that can also be good or bad, which they may or may not act one. Heck YouTube is full of idiots who’ve seen stunts on the TV show Jackass…

Everything starts with an idea. Thought motivates action?

“Broad generalization. Nazism started as an “idea” and it certainly didn’t “enlighten” anyone. Planning the murder of a spouse can be an “idea” as well.”

Ideas do not kill. Actions do. Ideas do not commit genocide. People do. Plenty of people might wish somebody was dead, or have an idea pop into their head once or twice. Those ideas can be right or wrong, but the people themselves have to act. The ideas will not do any harm as long as the parent explains why the actions themselves are wrong. No idea has ever harmed a person on its own.

“How do you see DWDM technology effecting the way streaming will be done in the future.”

I’ll pretend for the moment that there was a question mark at the end of that statement and answer it if it were a question. While DWDM and other fiber optics technologies, such as automatic transimpedance control amplifiers, which allow the fiber optic signals to be amplified and clarified at the receiver boxes (search http://google.com/patents for Timothy M.

“I sometimes have problems sending pictures with my Blackberry. W t Da f man…?”

I thought it was fairly obvious how temperamental I am.

“Aslo can yoy speed things up a bit. I have to sometimes wait 8 minutes to upload?? Wtf’s up with that????”

You obviously haven’t payed the right ISP enough money for the speed you want.

Greed and “Control of the truth” are the ultimate killers.

And also Skynet. Lol.

And the Death Star was pretty bad tooo.

Think more people have been killed because of ideas than by bullets.

Me me me. I have a question for the internet.

Ques:
How do you see DWDM technology effecting the way streaming will be done in the future.
Also.
I sometimes have problems sending pictures with my Blackberry. W t Da f man…?

Aslo can yoy speed things up a bit. I have to sometimes wait 8 minutes to upload?? Wtf’s up with that????

“Ideas simply enlighten.”

Broad generalization. Nazism started as an “idea” and it certainly didn’t “enlighten” anyone. Planning the murder of a spouse can be an “idea” as well. And how about the “idea” the perv has for having sex with the little kid next door?

Movies & TV shows aren’t ideas: they’re audiovisual representations of either fact or fiction, and if you don’t think they influence culture and kids (yes, blah blah, media reflects culture, you’ll say) then you obviously don’t have any kids and haven’t been around long enough to take a broader look at the way the world works.

Best regards,

I have found kids-in-mind.com to be really useful. It has it’s own ratings based on sexuality/nudity, violence/gore, and profanity – each with a scale of 1-10 (10 being the worst). Also, it details everything; It tells how many sex scenes, what is seen; How many punches/gunshots; Also, it details exactly what profanity is used and how many times. It is really good for parents to see exactly what they will be exposing their kids to if they see a film.

“Yeah – and if the kid doesn’t duck at the sound of the gunshot, the bullet MIGHT fly right past him or her”

The Internet here again. Guy Fawkes masks and everything. Since when have concepts been anything like bullets? Bullets kill. Ideas simply enlighten. Ideas can be explained to people who do not understand them or get the wrong ones. I’d like to see you explain away a bullet. As far as the movie being darker than the advertisement makes it seem, I have no comment as of yet, as I haven’t heard of or seen any mention of such a movie existing… and I’m the internet, for f***’s sake.
