Zopotantor posted:There were almost no people using BBSs in Germany because the federal postal service (precursor to Telekom) had a monopoly on the telephone service and flat out refused to allow using it for data transfer. IIRC they even tried to block acoustic couplers. Did they ever explain why? I'm struggling to think of a scenario where my phone company would give a poo poo about the contents of a call.

My guess, and I'm just spit balling here, is that they were trying to think of a way to tax/make money off the different type of communication that was using the phone lines. Could be wrong, but that's usually why companies/governments care about anything.

TelCo computes used to make a huge profit on international calls. Being able to use Skype or any kind of messaging system would kill that golden goose.

The 1996 movie was a bit more serious with it trying to sell itself as a disaster movie that is also a patriotic one. The 2016 on the other hand has Jeff Goldblum saying that the aliens love to attack landmarks, and the exchange where one military guy asked which part of the Atlantic ocean was the alien mothership over and the answer was "all of it".

When's the last time you saw the original? It was packed full of goofy moments such as "Welcome to Earth! Now that's what I call a close encounter!"

The best thing is that all the alien spaceships sound like cats in the original I haven't seen the sequel.

I thought they also sneaked in a nuke? They hopped on the mothership's network to spread the virus to their whole fleet, then cleaned house with the nuke.

The virus was to shut down the shields, the nuke was just to destroy the mothership. The stupidest thing from the sequel is when the new generation pilots get into an alien spaceship and say "It's the same as the other one" to justify why they can fly it. Except it totally isn't anything like the design of the cockpit from the first movie.

Independence Day rules because it came out when I was 12. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. Not enough to save the sequel though. Plus all the weird Chinese product placement.

To be fair it's the only movie where I've ever seen Beastie Boys music annihilate a squadron of spaceships. The rest of the poo poo movie was worth it.

Looks like Donald maintained a cool and confident demeanor while Merkel went into a typical German pout over not getting everything her way. Abe seems unimpressed by Merkel's histrionics and he stands with the grace and confidence reflecting his understanding that America has Japan's back against NK. But I guess it's open to interpretation

Depending on how far into drinking we were it was either super funny or incredibly stupid. Gotta say, sometimes when you've had just the right amount of whiskey and beer, that speech can amp you up to play the best damned drunken game of volleyball ever.

I reckon if you put some kind of watercolour effect on this and got it printed on canvas you could sell it as a new Jon McNaughton painting. Give it a name like "NO, YOU MOVE".
