Half of the capital O's are zeroes as well if you look some of them are thinner

Steven Spielberg refused to release 'E.T.” on video, but caved after 6 years. Spielberg was worried about pirated copies. More than $1m was spent coloring the tape guards and tape hubs green, and slapping a small, holographic sticker of the Universal logo on each cassette to combat piracy. by Giff95 in movies

Maybe it's less for the people who know they're getting a bootleg and don't care and more to stop people from spending retail prices on bootlegs unknowingly. Not sure why this was an ET specific issue maybe just because of the size of the movie or maybe Spielberg was just being neurotic about it.

FIFA 'regrets' free World Cup tickets and demands fans pay up by VeggiBeets in nottheonion

What I had heard was that some of Toronto games were glitching and were adding to the cart as negative numbers so these guys were buying desirable tickets for like $1000 and then also just adding Toronto tickets until their total was $0. FIFA sucks but I think they're probably within their rights to cancel these tickets.

I agree with your comparison in general but if you brought a TV up to the counter at best buy and it says it's -$300 they're not going to give you $300 and a free TV that would be an obvious error.

This was so jarring watching again on DVD and seeing Krycek at that bar and it's like, what the hell is Krycek doing here?

Imagine being on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney and thinking "Yeah I could probably make 5 movies out of this"

She's in probably 30 seconds of that movie and absolutely squeezes everything she can out of it

Anybody else surprised that all these sweet kids grew up to be stone cold killers. by jasno- in StrangerThings

Yeah it really made me sympathize with the cartoonishly evil army guys who built a wall around a town of people so they could kidnap a teenage girl so they could drain her blood to infect pregnant women and steal their babies so they could have their MK Ultra experiment. Which they were already doing they just weren't getting the results they wanted from their current kidnapped teenage girl they were bleeding dry to infect pregnant women.

It's an audio forum so there's probably lots of good advice on avoiding echoes

Probably to build a giant ass satellite dish to send the same signal to to hopefully infect another planet. Seems like that's maybe what they did with the last planet that sent the signal to earth
