That's all well and good, but the BBC is supported by British taxes, while the New York Times is a private newspaper.
Sort of true. The BBC is paid for by a mandatory television license fee. If you have a TV you must pay the BBC. From this they also run numerous radio stations and their website. It seems to be a common misconception by Americans that the BBC is run by the government - it's not.
SPOILER ALERT! I didn't realise it was the last mission. I'd just met a radiation-resistant mutant who I got on my side and who has done some missions for me in radioactive areas that I can't access. Then it comes to the last bit and I have to go into a highly radioactive room and will surely die. "Can't you do this bit for me?" I ask my radiation-proof friend. "No," he says, "It is your destiny." And so I die and the story and the game itself end. Couldn't meeting the mutant unlock a different ending whereby I survive the finale and go on to finish all my current missions and find all the others that I haven't started? In short - to play the rest of the game? Or couldn't I get some kind of warning that that mission was going to be the end of the game so that I can avoid doing it? I was just getting into it!
I'm in the UK and have "unlimited data". Which means I can download as much as I want as long as I don't try and get it too quickly in which case my connection speed and response times drop dramatically.
you'll be holding your hand up all the time with no support unlike with a mouse/keyboard where your hands are resting on your desk.
I've heard this said before but it raises this question: why not make a system whereby you have your hands in a similar position to that of keyboard and mouse (ie rested, comfortable, moving your hands and wrists instead of your whole arms) and use motion tracking (somehow...) to track the movement of your fingers and hand. Surely making the same motions as you do with a mouse but without having to move the mouse around would be easier and hugely more expandable in terms of features.
What? I don't get paid for the work my father did. Why should I? He did the work, not me. I get paid for the work that I am enabled to do by the education he was fortunate enough to be able to provide me.

Whereas yours has improved and enriched my life and for that I am forever indebted.
For the record I should point out that my above post was hilarious.
Oh shut up or I'll shoot you in the face with a bazooka.
I don't see the humor in saying "these airline delays suck, i'm going to commit an act of terrorism and kill thousands of people!"
Hmmm. You're not British, are you?

Also, my email has an automated spam filter. My phone doesn't.
The clear majority (77%) of businesses have up to a quarter of their total workforce consisting of regular remote users.
And my left arm is made of up to 75% cheese.
Is it just me, or is that line a little misleading?
Just add youtube to your search bar. It's even faster that way.
Maybe if you read the article you'd see that he does have one. Which kind of makes the whole story irrelevant...
It's because they're fat, stupid Americans.
...said the British guy with the bad teeth.
The ending in Fallout 3 annoyed me.

I think he was trying to be punny.
Interesting. Maybe I'm too used to steering wheels but a joystick to control a car just seems...wrong.
Even so whilst the analogy may not hold I think my point does.
Must have got modded back up. Hoorah.

And this is modded down why, exactly?
Steering wheels are the superior controller for driving cars. Joysticks are superior for flying planes. The whole argument is dumb.
I might be wrong, but I think it's three axis of movement and three of rotation. I've always thought it's a bit misleading...
And they should have to be naked. It's only fair.
Ass Pot: It's the good shit.

I used to kill myself.
You obviously didn't do a very good job of it.
Slacker.
Thanks for the info. I had been wondering how much you care about how much he cares. Very useful.
