I love the outrage over this. If Ben had any self-respect he'd refuse to do it at this point xD

 

Its crazy the outrage with this news, I mean his career has been on the upswing and maybe he could surprise us. However we all are left with the taste of Daredevil as well as his acting/movies from stuff prior to The Town and Argo. Also the change from Christian Bale is quite big and sudden and would imagine that many would love to see one more Bale move especially with the new Superman actor.

It's not really sudden that they're changing the actor. Christian Bale had already stated he'd stop after The Dark Knight Rises was done. Also, the Daredevil flop wasn't his fault. Ben Affleck just isn't suited for the role of Batman. He doesn't even look like a Bruce Wayne to begin with. Jeffrey Dean Morgan would've been a much better pick for an older Batman.

Ok, I've had some time to sit here and process the information. It isn't that I consider Ben Affleck to be a bad actor, I just can't see him playing Bruce Wayne/Batman effectively. There's something about him...

This pretty much sums up what I've been doing and I fully agree.

Affleck was a ****ing spokesperson and model for L'Oreal. I think that's all I need to say.

Considering the universal disdain for this decision, anyone else think that he'll drop out? I mean, they could easily use the excuse that there was a scheduling conflict to ease the embarrassment of "NO ONE WANTED YOU!"

Time to introduce batgirl again!  :P   Or Batwoman but last I checked she's a lesbian, not that I have a problem with it but who knows what the studio thinks.

Wow. Like I said before, I can't really see Affleck as Batman/Bruce Wayne but why all the hate? It's not like he's gonna ruin the role or anything. He is a decent actor after all. Plus do you really think the studio(s) involved really wanted to spend $50 million to bring back Bale? Probably not.

I don't like him for Batman, he has this little quirck when he acts, like the ones that Brad Pitt, or Nicolas Cage, that remind me he's not acting anymore.

 

But at this point we don't have a say in the matter, we will wait and see if his acting would negatively affect the movie.

The internet went so far that they decided to make a petition to ask Obama to make it illegal for Affleck to get casted as Bruce Wayne/Batman :s

Edit: Oh, I see Rappy has actually posted that :p

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
