    Fellow geeks. Mario cannot 'improve' your sex life.

    Most mentions of Mario only have a deleterious effect on same.

    Instead, be cool, don't appear desperate, and lower your sights. Unless you are horrific, you'll do fine. Just don't rely on Mario.

  2. 8 pages? by magus_melchior · · Score: 5, Insightful

    8 pages worth of stuff, 1/3 of which is denied by Privoxy/Adblock, and no "print version" in sight?

    At least some of the big journos have done something right. Print version style sheets.

    Okay, rant over.
