You need to keep reading. That was a long time ago. The parties have basically switched sides. like 50-60 years ago. The dixiecrats are gone and now are republicans. You would be hard pressed to find one person who proudly flies confederate flag now that would vote for a democrat. I would say that if they voted…

Never mind...

Whats so special about $1 worth of M&Ms and is $20 worth of M&Ms really that much more?

This exploit didn’t rely on user interaction at all. It’s pretty nasty. It could get on a system and then spread to other unpatched computers on the network with absolutely no way for the user to know it was happening. No links had to be clicked, no e-mails to open. Thats why it spread so fast.

See, Lost is the example I use for horrible lazy writing. If that show had ended after 1 or 2 seasons It probably would have been brilliant. But stretching it to 6 seasons made it suck donkey balls. The plot was simple. The plane had gone down and everyone died. The people on the island are just in purgatory…

No, it would make no sense without some kind of throw away line like: “Then why did you...”. I get the techno boy aspect of why he would throw away the phones. That makes sense. But having shadow purchase 2 of them just to throw away with no reaction from shadow as to why? No.

I didn’t notice that, but yeah. The old “oh, you weren’t meant to see that” defense. Props usually has a lot to do in scenes like that with cigarettes, chess/checkers, food and drinks which have to be made edible for multiple takes. Not saying they messed up, it could have just been a script change after the fact…

No one called the phones in the show burners but the author of this article and you. The were referred as cell phones in the shopping list which, I’m thoroughly convinced we weren’t supposed to see. Referring to a “burner phone” as a cell phone is correct and normal unless you want to convey its anonymous nature. …

How?

Wow, I kinda thought they spelled it out pretty clearly. Sorry.

Did you se the Venn diagram? Do you get it now?

Yeah, I know, but he can’t get it through his thick skull.

You know what... I’m sorry. When I started this thread I didn’t intend to beat up on a mentally handicapped kid. Go tend your rabbits, Lenny... but be gentle. You know what happened last time.

A burner is a cell phone... and...

I suspect reading isn’t something you very often. Just to correct you, once again, a “burner” is a cell phone. You can’t say there is a difference when one is the other. It like saying sourdough toast is different than toast. It is toast. Do you not grasp that very simple concept? I don’t think you do. I don’t…

Well 3 phones would make no sense at all. He clearly didn’t want any. The note was most likely not meant to be read at all. Like I stated before, it was probably a mixup or a script change, and they didn’t want to re shoot the insert shot for a minor detail that is on the screen for a few frames. As for the…

...and a burner is a cell, and a cell can be a burner... That’s actually how it is. By definition. The thing you are missing is context. But this is all semantics and beside the point because it has nothing to do with the show.

People do call a “burner” a cell phone in normal conversation. They only refer to it as a “burner” when it is needed to convey the fact that it is a disposable cell phone. Nobody would say “hey, have you seen my burner phone? I think I left it at your place...” They would probably just say cell.... All this is…

Wow, you just don’t get it do you? A burner phone is a cell phone you can throw away as it has no connection to you, and in this context, either term works but, shadow never says burner or cell. They are only talked about because shadow thought odin might want to talk to someone/him. The whole point of the…

A burner phone is a cell phone, and either term can be used interchangeably in this context. It would be the only real option for shadow if he was following the list without Odin/wed present. And he never mentioned either. The only use of the word cell phone is in the shopping list that was on screen for a fraction…
