  1. Re:I keep wondering why... on Google Loses Autocomplete Defamation Case · · Score: 1

    No search engines means a word-of-mouth web. Just because you can't readily find it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. No DNS would be much closer to no web than no search engines, but even that wouldn't completely eradicate the internet.

    An aside, I really don't get the point, then, of appropriation bills having to start in the house. It's a bicameral legislature, both chambers ultimately have to sign off on whatever the finished product is (and have Executive support or sufficient support in both chambers to override veto), so why does it really matter which chamber starts the ball rolling?

    Absolutely. And while I don't personally claim to know whether President Obama was born in the U.S., I think the birthers make good points.

    Sounds like you're the natural there, pal.

    He keeps his weapon at the ready, always, and seems to have a sixth sense for someone trying to piss him off. Either way, Yvonne Strahovski would have the drop in the end.

    The Rickroll is dead. Rick Astley himself killed it with his appearance at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade that one year (think it was '08).

    Either way, I'm immune to it now. I actually somewhat enjoy that song now. I also enjoy 'Dragostea din Tei' (The song from the Numa Numa Dance). They're just so...damn...catchy!

    You could really put most of that in your signature. Save you some typing, or pasting.

    Only problem is, I can *never* close those baggies quite all the way, which leads to a waterlogged Kindle. Although, based on their commercials, they should be able to absorb SOME moisture--at least one of the commercial spots highlight a dog licking a Kindle while the user goes on reading. Not sure what kind of dog, but I'm pretty sure it was a breed with highly active salivary glands.

    I once knew this guy who was friends with a chick who was the sister of a guy whose aunt lived in the same town as some important person. This makes me important and amusing.

    It's within Six Degrees of Separation. It's valid. Worship me.

    "...in the developed world, we let produce slowly rot in the backs of our fridges..."

    I don't dispute the logic of this...my own fridge, unfortunately, is a case-in-point. I wouldn't say that's where a majority of the waste is coming from, however, in more densely populated areas, it could be a significant amount (a million pennies is still ten thousand dollars, no?).

    I just pray that things don't come down to, 'Now Timmy, eat your veggies, or the Men in Black Suits are going to come and assassinate Mommy and Daddy...you wouldn't want that, now would you?', to try and curtail consumer waste.

    We can colonize space and fuck up other planets too.

    This eliminates the need for needless suffering, both by way of starvation and lack of fucking. Thus, it's the optimal solution.

    You have the option to do what you are doing, and what you are doing is looking like a fairly illiterate fool. You're right, it is very telling; I care about such things as grammar, spelling, and syntax. Things that a so-called 'feeb' would not be capable of. How telling...

    You're completely ignorant of sarcasm.

    And I'm fully capable of using all of my limbs, forelimbs, digits, brain, and genitals; the term 'feeb' doesn't apply.

    However, I do see that you've started to pay attention to the red squiggles on your screen...but not the green ones. You might one day challenge my children.

  17. Re:Am I the only one who doesn't get it? on Using Kinect With Your PS3 · · Score: 1

    Gaming was intended to be an exercise in sitting on your arse fine-tuning your fine motor skills, when conditions outside were too lame to deal with. Unfortunately, that's gotten a little overextended with this generation. The Wii, Move, and Kinect are how the industry responds; when parents should have responded with 'GET THE FUCK OUTSIDE BEFORE I KICK YOUR ASS OUT THE DOOR'.

    Immobile gaming is how it should be, even casually, and in moderation. If kids get fat playing Halo, it's their parents' fault.

    This becomes the 3-year-old (as in children) argument. In whole, it goes like this:

    "some libraries need to be improved in order to boost performance and features" is a catch-all that really could describe anything that isn't RC or RTM; pre-alpha, alpha, pre-beta (if that exists), beta...there's probably one library that is working well enough to be complete, making 'all libraries...' inaccurate, and 'most libraries...' something to skip over.

    Coffee is small-time. The 32oz Monster energy drinks come with a warning saying 'Do not consume more than one per day'.

    That warning is pretty accurate, by the way. Even I get a little off after more than that, and I usually handle excess of those types of things fairly well.
