It's pretty bad.

Interesting concept, but the movie leaves out critical plot points from the book, making it harder to understand.

Incredible effects for the time.

Begging the question

And billions of acres of pasture could never support trees

Inefficient?

Cows eat grains that humans can't digest, or if they can, it takes energy to transform them to something human can eat.

They all sound good

Every land-line phone I've had didn't carry it's number with it. The number is assigned to a fixed, immovable address. Back then it was part of a physical switching system - in the switching center, shafts would move up and down and rotate to connect one circuit to another. These were circuit-switched networks. (These were eventually replaced by digital switches).

The only number that's static on my cell phone is the EID, because it's necessary with a mobile device connecting to a radio-based network. The system needs to know how to route a connection whenever the phone moves - "which tower is it on" - which is handled by the device registering with the tower, the network then updates it's database. The phone number with a cell phone is specifically for routing user connections (essentially tells the system what subscriber is associated with a given endpoint - your phone).

None of this is required for internet connections, as you get connectivity via a router which is the Internet-facing address for other devices to see. Things were established this way initially because there's no need for an endpoint device to be directly exposed (plus hardware and software capabilities at the time).

Also, I hope to never see the day when all consumer endpoint devices are directly on the internet. That's a bad idea in so many ways (and why I argue IPv6 is generally useless for endpoint consumer devices). IP6 is great for plenty of other reasons.

I bet 99% od Democrats haven't.

It's a meaningless number.

And if I were betting which group adopts more, I'd be putting that money on conservatives.

Oh, for sure. I take no issue with its use in film to communicate what's happening.

Until you get them adjusted, you can get this kind of view (sort of), especially when you first pick them up and are bringing them to your eyes.

Once situated correctly (with the rubber eye cups touching your face so the lenses are the same distance away), your brain merges the images just like wearing glasses.

You can get this effect if the binoculars haven't been adjusted to match your pupillary distance (how far apart your pupils are).

Oh ffs, what a shitty, juvenile website. All lowercase, no real explanation of what it does, other than track users by having everything go through their servers.

Sounds like a scam to me.

And push to talk? Who uses that anymore? Welcome to 2000.

Hmm... Still don't get it. Not sure what the discrimination joke is.

Thanks for trying to explain, though!
