I'd been using Chrome for a few months, and while I enjoyed it at first I soon realized that it was a memory hog when using dozens of multiple tabs and *consistently* choked to death on Flash content. I've been very happy I switched back, just from using it again today. As long as Chrome suffers these critical flaws and Firefox outperforms it, I will be sticking with Team Mozilla.
So, let me get this straight... because you don't personally enjoy something (such as asparagus or lolicon), you would vote to make it illegal (criminalize it)? BECAUSE you don't care one way or the other??? That sounds pretty screwed up to me.
Sometimes the noise is the result of too many signals at once; if you can't decipher the meaningful data from the meaningless, the transmission will often be ignored completely. Seeing that other people have already done what you have done helps you to determine the overall accuracy of your experiment in terms of relative experiences, and may even spark people to do *only* things that have not yet been tried yet. It's just a matter of collecting and sharing all of the "negative" data that has and will be published.
Like most people, I'm waiting until my ISP switches to IPv6. Until they change my IP address, then I have no reason to change my internal IP addresses. I mean really, what's the point? Most of us have no control over whether IPv6 is implemented anyway.
That is absolutely true. I'm thinking of switching to SSDs in the future (once they come down in price a bit) mainly because over the years I have lost at LEAST 1TB of data due to hard drives failing. Most of the time, I have no idea why they don't work anymore... did a head hit a platter? Is an arm broken? Are the discs not spinning? Most of us are not technically adept enough to repair a broken hard drive, and data recovery services are damn expensive, so if we're just talking about personal files and downloaded media, it's likely lost FOREVER. Just a couple weeks ago I had a 500GB external drive fail, and it was nearly full to capacity and was working as a backup for another computer that now has a fried mobo. So... all of the pictures I spent time scanning, all of the CDs I burned, everything I meticulously cataloged... gone forever.
THIS is why SSDs will become the preference of the future.
That's a really good point... if tickling is a reflex that makes us "laugh" although it's clearly unpleasant (does anybody *actually* like to be tickled, other than masochists???), maybe tickling orangutans isn't the best way to research laughter. What we need to do is research their reaction to HUMOR.
Obviously there aren't any orangutan joke writers (other than Jeff Foxworthy, I suppose), but if comedy stems from the tragedy of others, maybe we should find out if orangutans still "laugh" when they see another orangutan fall from a branch or something similar that humans universally find humorous.
Y'know, like... I didn't read the whole article or nothin' but, like... I gotta say that my best philosophical arguments happen while smoking hash, man. So, like... I don't know what this guy's got against hash, be it "one-way" or another but like... oh wait. I forgot what I was saying. Oh well... now where the hell did I put the Doritos?
Dude, it's worse than you think. There are many (HOT!) chicks who have expressed disinterest in guys who play MMORPGs in general because their ex was so into gaming that HE WOULD REJECT SEX in favor of playing a game!
Now, I can go for days playing games if I'm really trying to beat something, but MMORPGS are dangerous because they have no "end". Once a guy is so consumed in playing his game that he can reject a naked woman gyrating on his lap (LITERALLY), what else could possibly motivate or persuade him from changing? Fear of pain or death is about it, right?
No, but we're talking about common decency. Sure, he doesn't HAVE to talk to someone, but seeing as they have guns and bulletproof vests, I'd be willing to make sure I'm in their favor by simply being a polite person.
A better response would have been, "Sure, no problem." Speak with them when you're done with your business, make sure there's no problems (e-mail yourself the photo if you can) and delete it if they ask. Not a huge deal.
Remember, it's always easier to be reasonable with people with guns than to be a smart-ass.
As in Lysergic Acid Diethylamide? As in friggin' LSD? In the AIR???
OK... considering that people traditionally ingest LSD and don't SMOKE it, that's some very interesting information. Sounds like someone's making a giant batch in Madrid/Barcelona!
I swear, the first couple games were so good, I figured they'd stay overlooked forever. When the third one came out, I thought that it would be the death knell for the whole franchise. But now... it might be around for a long time! Honestly, these are some of the best games ever created. Huzzah!
I live in Wisconsin, and I gotta say, this doesn't bother me at all. After all, 5% of $0 is still $0. I mean really, who pays for downloads these days?
On a more serious note, I think this is just fine. If your state has a sales tax, it should apply to all purchases, not excluding online purchases. Seeing as how commerce is quickly moving from brick-and-mortar stores to online shopping, I think it's only fair that the state get their cut.
Let me know when Joel is back. To me, MST3K just isn't right without Joel at the helm. This isn't a reunion unless he's involved. Heck, I've been waiting for an MST3K reunion ever since this "Mike" guy first showed up.

I don't know who "Dan Gadino" is, but that's an old Emo Philips joke. Credit where it's due.

Great, now I can play Crazy Taxi! Oh wait, they already ported that to PS2 ages ago. You mean Dreamcast had other games???

Funny, I was thinking about Futurama as well, but the Popplers episode instead.
Aw man... and here I've been trying to convince people that Chipotle is the new Umami!
A friend of mine who lives in an apartment complex named his network "Bring apartment 6A a sandwich, no mayo". Nobody's delivered one to him yet.

Wait... they made ARCADE versions of Tetris?
Obviously, you're losing touch with popular culture. "Irony" applies to anything that is NOT ironic. See: Alanis Morisette.
Just like the word "literally" has come to mean "figuratively".
It's a world gone mad, I tell you!

Other than the obvious mint flavor, it would be comprised mostly of feces.
Thanks to this post, this torrent downloaded in less than a minute!

Wait... so Pluto was called "Planet X" before it had a name, and it's no longer officially a planet?
So that means it used to be Planet X, but now it's an ex-planet!

Yes, launch it like the decapitated head of Arnold Palmer!
Oh man, that picture is funny. Even as a fervent Libertarian and Ron Paul supporter, it's hilarious. I feel bad for the poor fella.
