  1. Re:Same here on 26 Years Old and Can't Write In Cursive · · Score: 2, Informative

    The style which you refer to is (I believe) Single stroke gothic, utilizing a single (capital) typeface. It's the preferred style of most engineers and drafters for legibility, and can be written at an adequate clip if necessary.

  2. Re:God Bless Him on Ray Bradbury Loves Libraries, Hates the Internet · · Score: 1

    Your post brings up an interesting trend we've seen with the internet: A marked rise in autodidacticism. A larger number of people are able to learn and (in some cases) become accredited without having to attend classes at a university or college.

    Oh for the love of god, people. Give it a rest. PC gaming isn't dead until finding new PC games is like trying to find new N-Gage games...

  6. Sigh on Elton John Says Internet is Destroying Music · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Blaming the transmission medium for making the environment "cold and impersonal" is like blaming high HIV transmission rates on semen. fairly silly. The environment is what you make of it.

  7. Re:What about TV on Neilsen Introduces New Way To Measure Gamer Metrics · · Score: 1

    Because people seem to need meaningless numbers to validate thier existence

  8. Interesting on Blizzard Announces StarCraft 2 · · Score: 1

    It will be interesting to see what the Korean telebroadcast community will be doing with this. Considering that for a portion of Korea, this is like the NFL introducing Football 2.0, and then declaring that all original versions of Football are null and void...
