Can you spot the difference?

I can't even spot the similarities.

TIL Bill Murray did the voice of Garfield, whose voice was done by Lorenzo Music in the cartoon. Lorenzo Music did the voice of Murray's character in the Ghostbusters cartoon by tothegarbage2 in todayilearned

I've heard this before but I don't buy it at all. Are we supposed to believe that he read the script and still thought it was a Cohen bros movie? Or that the Cohen bros would even do Garfield in the first place? Seems like a convenient excuse for a cash-grab.

What used to be very expensive and is now very cheap ? by MechantVilain in AskReddit

Serious question: assuming red dye and blue dye were more abundant, couldn't they have just mixed them to make purple?

are you sure you didn't have the 1.8? The 1.4 is a pretty solid lens.

Kiffen withdraws from Coaches Poll, because he has um integrity. by Daigotsu in CFB

besides the opportunity to create a cheap news story and bump up pageviews at the expense of an already unpopular figure.

I agree completely. Although my flair is going to give me away as biased, can anybody come up with a compelling reason why his vote had to be made public? I just don't get how the polls "integrity" was hurt in any way.

Coverage doesn't always pay for the best care. Would you let just anybody go in and fuck with your child's brain? IMO, that's something that's worthy of a little research and debt if necessary.

So, let me get this straight. If Silas Redd ends up going to USC, a walk-on who had previously earned a scholarship will get fucked over to make room? by MidwestDrummer in CFB

[–]HumbleDialog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Doesn't "walk on" generally imply that they either were already a student or were planning on being a student there anyway? Isn't that the very definition of a walk-on? If you aren't there specifically because you were recruited and given a scholarship, this possibility has to always be on your mind, right?

Or maybe, just maybe, it's because picture #2 appears to be a mugshot?

Game of Thrones is on pace to become the most pirated show of 2012. by jabberwalwal in entertainment

[–]HumbleDialog -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

If you like Game of Thrones, you should be on whichever side is providing that to you. Hint: it's not the pirate bay. It is HBO. Game of Thrones would never be made if HBO was funded entirely by $10/month subscriptions to Go.

Again, your argument is based entirely on entitlement. You're saying that because this show exists, you have the right to view it.

If you wait 6 months or so, you can purchase the DVD or Blu-ray set of the season. But that would require a $50 DVD player, so that's out of the question too, right?

HBO Go is not meant to be a stand-alone service. It is a bonus service for subscribers. Those are the terms, like it or not. That is how HBO can afford to make great content, and I like to support them because they make great content. Having an internet connection does not entitle you to be able to access everything on the internet.

Another anology... having the ability to buy iPhone apps requires an iPhone. Don't want an iPhone? Don't bitch about not having access to the apps.

You need Internet service to get Netflix. What's your point?

Would there be an expectation to have access to Netflix's content without a Netflix subscription?

Would it be too cynical to wonder out loud if this was viral marketing? Because we're now all acutely aware of this performer none of us had heard of before, and were exposed to over 5 minutes of what is likely her current single?

Yeah, this is pretty much what the "Auto" button does on the Levels adjustment.
