It's not really a roguelike at all. You might argue that Adventurer mode is roguelike-like, but there are some pretty significant gameplay differences.
Scientist: What do we call stuff like this? General Public: Vegetables Scientist: OK. -Time passes- Scientist: Hmm. There seems to be a difference between some things in this group and other things in this group.

PID control systems *are* simple. I could build the controller one out of the junk sitting in my toolshed.
Hell, you can trial-and-error one into working in about half an hour, once you've got the test rig set up. It's not like there's that many variables to control.

The problem here is that we never bothered choosing axioms for the discussion, and there are branches of mathematics where 0.99... != 1, which have some properties that superficially seem more intuitive.
It doesn't just sound silly, it's a crime against intelligence is what it is. I doubt it's a contraction like you say since "as if I could care less" is not something I've ever heard, while "I couldn't care less" is. It's just a bunch of people who don't know what they are saying that cut out the "not" because they don't understand how the sentence is supposed to work.
Yes, because people never say something ironic when they want to deprecate something in English. There are no instances in the language whatsoever of people saying one thing and meaning the opposite of it for effect.
This is, like, a totally radical blast from the past. It was a blast from the past when the BBC brought back smellovision in '95, dudes and dudettes, and has been tried in one form or another since, like, a hundred years ago, man.
Also, using scent for video games would be totally bogus, since there's olfactory latency and stuff involved.
He, too, is from the real universe. This is just some weird parallel world where slashdot editors don't, the US military has giantblimps, the president is black, and the 2004 US civil war never happened.
After I got into an edit war because some douchebag admin doesn't know the difference between affect and effect, and isn't willing to let anyone change his precious article... yeah, no.

Great. Now get them up there.

The biggest issue with refining the GUI is that it's still in alpha, and features change quickly enough that a good gui would soon become obsolete.
Fanmade programs like dwarf therapist and stonesense help significantly, of course.
Bah, for good predictions of the future, it's the Ladies' Home Journal or nothing.

Oh, they had that. Unfortunately, it tried to send the 90% warning as a notification, and things just spiraled out of control from there.
Where does this "cmdrtaco" guy get off posting this type of story? You'd think this site was his personal blog or something.
The white bar off to the side is covering up the first few words of each story.
Doh, you're totally right. Knee-jerk reaction to the first sentence without reading the summary properly. Facepalming now.
Which summarizes Web 2.0 extremely well.
If Palin wins who knows what will happen.
I've seen that article. Here's the video.

Quoting the original summary for posterity.
Yeah, I think he fiddled with the margins and put them at 2.1 spacing to reach the page count, too.

dating back almost to the earliest days of computer gaming.
I'd say to the earliest days of computer gaming, since Tennis for Two could easily be considered the first computer game.

we need to hunt down and kill all trolls
No, you are the trolls.
Fifty years later, their civilization was, practically speaking, destroyed.
Just saying.
Actually, Russian satellites are pressurized. That's one of the reasons they produce worse orbital debris than those of the US.
The Russians could never figure out how to get everything to work in a vacuum.
No, but I can certainly say that in six +12n months it's going to be colder* here than it was before.
*I live in Australia, you insensitive clod.
