This might be the first time I ever thoroughly enjoyed watching a soccer match. Maybe I'd enjoy real soccer more as well, if the players just sometimes randomly face-planted onto the field!

Dune Part 1 has a runtime of 2h 35minutes. Assuming that Part 2 has a similar runtime, we end up with 5h of film total. The miniseries "Frank Herbert's Dune (2000)" in the extended directors cut - has a total runtime of 4h 55

Villeneuve did pay some small homage to Lynch - just as he did to Jodorowsky. But nothing substantial. The bigger parallels are all things taken straight from the book. So, in cases were both Lynch and Villeneuve closely followed the book,

You know that no one but Jodorowsky could possibly do that. ;)

No, the post links to the offical trailer posted by Warner Brother Pictures, that runs for 2:24, and shows only new scenes. Your link shows a fan made trailer, that runs a bit longer, but contains mostly scenes from the first movie, and fro

No, the second is perfectly fine. I pay a monthly fee for internet - and that's the admission fee I have to pay to access the service. And I get sent a modem/router - a piece of hardware - that I don't own, but that's on

Is it though? Looking at Linux and all the devices it powers (including most of the internet infrastructure) - it would seem that it is possible to do pretty good security on very open software that's as separate from the hardware as c

I agree. Anyone should be allowed to repair, tinker with and modify anything they own - at their own risk. When it comes to software, that's only possible to do with open source. With closed source you're only ever buying a perpet

Well they are suing for multiple things, including commercial use of the filmed material. But that's not the "invasion of privacy" part.

Obviously, if you are doing performance-critical code in a performance-critical application, you will be doing stuff like inlining and other things that "break" clean-code "rules". I put that into quotes, because to me p
