That's just mean. I don't know what the point is. It's like making fun of somebody for their skin color. It's not a condition one can do anything about.

Was this funny? Haile, no.

"Tell No One" was pretty awesome, but this one baffled me. It has a whole cast of great players and is still somehow super-boring, or at least the half that I bothered watching. I wouldn't have guessed this was the same director.

I don't fix stuff like when I was a kid, because now I have money to buy new stuff. (Lack of necessity is the killer of invention.) But a year or two ago I had a 7805 linear regulator burn out in something (they always do) and for old time's sake I thought I'd try to solder in a new one. I stopped at the Radio…

Never had one of those. I just used those plastic proto boards you could get at the RadShack. You could plug DIPs in the middle of them. I used those in college, too. I suppose they still do, if they can find DIPs.

Somehow, my poor grade school got some Model IIIs. I called them Trash-80s, but they were great. I learned a lot coding on those things. That was before I learned assembly so everything was pretty slow, but it was great experience. The one-piece Model IIIs were pretty stylish, in an 80s space-age way. And the…

I think I made my sarcasm too subtle. No, even if the bus were really top-heavy the flipping torque would be miniscule.

She's topless in a movie I just saw, which was a little weird, since she's playing a teen, but now I see she's actually 24. I thought the progression was to be a Disney star and then do the topless stuff.

I only read the first and thought it was pretty bad. Hard SF seems to be rich in ideas and poor in plot, characters, etc. Rama is another good example.

I liked that class but didn't understand why it was required for EE majors.

That doesn't sound right. There's a bunch of stuff in there inserted by retroviruses that's just hidden away so it never gets expressed. (Not an expert, though.)

Perhaps you didn't see the part of the trailer in which Paul Walker leaps from the falling bus onto the spoiler of Michelle Rodriquez' car half-hanging over the abyss.

Uh, the bus clearly hits a car near the front-right headlight. I don't know what path you think the bus should take, but physics dictates a front flip.

I'd say it's not vey popular.

Never having seen the show, I thought perhaps you were referring to some plotline and a Klitschko was a giant alien or something. Reality is stranger than fiction.

Gonna take some time to poach the things we never haaaa-aave…

Fix Or Repair Daily, amirite?

Speaking of SNL, here is a great sketch with NKOTB talking about choreographing their own moves, putting on their own clothes, etc. Seems not much has changed in 25+ years.

I got a good laugh. It's the best line in the review.
