  2. Re:Can we short them yet? on Startup Applies For 307 GTLDs · · Score: 2

    In fact I'm struggling to think of even one case where the name of a TLD actually is the best site in it's category?

    Chess.com is possibly the best online chess site around. However, I don't think anyone just randomly types domain names into their address bar anymore to find what they are looking for, but it does make it easier to remember the site in the future without having to google it EVERY time you want to visit. Also, it is easier to remember when telling your friend about "chess.com" as opposed to "chess.some-unrelated-domain-name.net".

  5. Re:Jack Daniels? on Kentucky Man Builds Bourbon Powered Car · · Score: 1

    Is Jack Daniels Old No. 7 the Premium fuel?

    Jack Daniels is Tennessee whiskey, not bourbon, and any drunk from Kentucky will fight you over that. Old No. 7 isn't exactly premium anyway, try Gentleman Jack or something next time. Jim Beam is probably the most common bourbon, but you'll want something more like Maker's Mark if you're going premium.

  16. Re:Irony on US Students Suffering From Internet Addiction · · Score: 1

    Irony requires some sort of lesson learned, as the character makes a decision or some deliberate action which inadvertently brings about their own downfall. If there is no self-induced lesson involved, it isn't irony, it's just unfortunate.

    In this situation, for example, it would be sort of ironic if they got addicted to blogging about getting over their addiction to Facebook. Think about the classic example of irony, Oedipus. It wouldn't have been ironic (or nearly as good a story) if he didn't know his fate and actively seek to avoid it.

    For every Firefox, OpenOffice, or GIMP there are 1000 Wild Tangents or FREE Animated Pony screen savers. So, yes I would call that generally sucking. I feel comfortable in the fact that my doctor makes far more money than my mechanic. I've never taken my girlfriend out to a romantic dinner at the local soup kitchen. That's my logic, where is yours?

  21. Re:Lone voice of reason... on Officials Sue Couple Who Removed Their Lawn · · Score: 1

    It's an ordinance just like anything else. You have to have things like this or else you end up with people with old cars up on blocks in the front yard. The people in charge decided they want everything to look similar within a certain tolerance, and these people crossed the line. I can see their argument, and that's why they get to go to trial over it instead of the city just handing them a big fine. In my town we have ordinances too, and I'm sure most places do. When I first moved into my current house, I didn't own a lawnmower for a while and my grass got pretty unsightly. The city code enforcement officer came by and warned me about it. Did I complain? No, because I chose to buy this house in this town and so I have to follow their rules. If I had a farm out in the country, I wouldn't have to mow, and I could rip up the grass and replace it with woodchips if i wanted, but if you live somewhere with rules, you have to follow those rules! It's amazing how opposed some people are to this simple fact.

    I bet many of us played games that had gore as teens. They should had have sex too - it's even a natural thing, while violence is not (or shouldn't be).

    There was a whole series of games based pretty much entirely on sex (or the pursuit of) back when I was a kid. I don't think I've had the simulated uncomfortable experience of purchasing a condom in a game since then...
