Don't know why you got downvoted. I mean, I'd have said "many" rather than "most", but in principle this is true.

Yes, you're absolutely right, I'd forgotten about that.
I think my main point is still valid though - Godzilla is a physical manifestation of the destruction that nuclear activity can cause.
As I read on another post somewhere: "Ask a Japanese, and radiation creates monsters. Ask an American, and radiation creates superheros."
I hate that this is even a thing.
- Godzilla is a metaphor (either intended or simply ingrained in the Japanese psyche) for Hiroshima and Nagasaki
- King Kong is a "Beauty and the Beast" love story
They are from different eras and are important films in their own way.
But we end up getting this shite because monsters must fight monsters, apparently.
It's all a load of fucking shit and devalues the importance of each movies. It should never have been made.
Anyway, I haven't seen the movie but Godzilla would win. Atomic breath. Come on guys, the monkey's dead meat that you can't touch for a hundred thousand years.

But they're fucking good quality. Anyone can see that. So what's the problem?
I like Android 'cos I like dicking about with it. Some people don't want to dick about with their phones, they want to do other stuff that could be more interesting.
Horse meat is common in Switzerland. There are restaurants specialising in it.
It'll be interesting to watch someone establish a bank in a space station.
Inevitable, probably.
What a shame. A lot of guys will have worked hard on this, perhaps going on a journey from initial enthusiasm at the novel gimmick to anxiety over real-world usability.
Sadly they're going to lose all their money or, even worse, find a way to pay back the VC.
I'm unclear about the Fraud charges.
In a Fraud case, you deliberately set out to take other people's money, illegally, from the offset.
I don't think he did that. I think his intentions were honest but he got too cocky by providing loans and overspending. However, I feel that he thought he was smart enough to make it all back and make good, like Nick Leeson.
I don't think he set out to be a crook. I think he set out to be extremely wealthy, thought he was smarter than he was, then couldn't cope when things started to collapse.
It's different from setting out to craft a scheme to rob people.
Regardless of the sentence, I'd wager he'll do ten.
This will be a tough one to fix. There must be millions upon millions of embedded systems out there with 16-bit epoch burned in.
They'll all be much tougher to find than "YEAR PIC(99)" in COBOL was.
Y2K wasn't a problem because thousands upon thousands of programmers worked on it well in advance (including myself) we had source code and plenty of static analysis tools, often homegrown.
The 2038 bugs are already out there...in the wild...their source code nothing but a distant dream.
How would you deal with armed settlers kicking your family out of your home at gunpoint?

I'm wagering "Location Data" will be along soon. Then "number of passwords stored".
Next move will be "number of connected devices", even though that doesn't impact how much they have to store.
Finally they will get round to billing you on your number of individual body hairs (shaving in breach of T&Cs).
