    It had more content, never had an auction house, and was cheaper. Also, people are *still* playing Diablo III?

    But but but.... Those crimes were committed in the country they were extradited to. I'm all for that, no problem.
    The issue is when someone commits a crime while in their own country against a foreign country and gets extradited (or at least threatened).
    Example: Kim DotCom or is it KimDot Com? Whatever.

  8. I'd provide a detailed comment but... on Inspired By the Peter Principle: the Peter Pinnacle · · Score: 1

    I'm too busy sexually dominating my secretary and arranging my tie collection.

    USI=Unwarranted Self-Importance maybe?
    So the joke is a pun perhaps, since UTI=Urinary tract infection.
    Your mother's BMI is above 30.

  11. Human beings *NEED* intimate (or at least some form of) contact with other human beings. Just because we are semi-autistic and don't get why Tom Hanks needed to talk to a Volleyball, when he could of just had conversations with himself, doesn't mean we are the norm.
    Hmmm, speaking of contact.... spending years of my life with the same co-workers. I see now when suicide rates are so high in the military.

    I really don't care about insane high resolutions, but I'd love to get movies on 60 fps.

    Some high-speed cameras can go as high as 100000 fps (maybe higher?) So, I guess there's that?

    Frankly, I think they should have gone for a picture of Thatcher fighting a grizzly bear with chainsaw arms. Now THAT'S an image you have to respect.

    Maybe in 2077. When they think that was a normal day for British Parliament.

    It's got great commercial support! It's called the IBM Rational Application Developer.
    It's everything annoying about Eclipse plus the great taint of IBM's buggy products.

    Gee whiz grandpa, I don't think any of the IDEs support punch cards.

  18. Can't protect me from me. on Hardly Anyone Is Buying 'Smart Guns' · · Score: 1

    The vast number of people killed by handguns are suicides. Smart gun wouldn't do anything for that.
    But if you do entertain suicidal thoughts, DON'T keep a gun in your house! People that don't own guns are less likely to kill themselves.
    That sounds stupid, but it follows the logic that Americans are really lazy and like convenience. So if they don't have an easy way to kill themselves they won't.

    Japan is a major exception to that rule though, I assume because they are a culture immersed in ritual. The Japanese carry out long complicated means of suicide or travel to special places.
    Disposal BBQs were (are?) popular. People would seal up their windows and doors and light a bunch of them and asphyxiate themselves.
    I myself, if I needed to do it, would plan a trip to Home Depot to find the perfect hanging rope. I think nylon or cotton braid would be nice. Nylon is a bit stretchy though.
    Definitely not polypropylene, that would chaff like a son of a bitch.

    I actually don't remember anything cool about the show besides the launch tubes and the WW2 like dogfights in their starfighters.
    Of course these days, I always mention the disco, but really it was the launch tubes.
    So yes, if they had decided to do anything interesting with any character other than ummm Faceman?, it would of been awesome.

    Ok, that makes sense, cause there's Fetlife (Imagefap with an event calendar),
    Imagefap (Fetlife without a stupid event calendar), and sub-Reddits (I think that's the term) that fill the gap for people that want both porn and a friends list.

    He was arrested in June 2011 by U.S. agents when they lured him to a meeting in Saipan where he believed he was delivering 20 gigabytes of data to the representatives of U.S. businessmen. Saipan, an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, is part of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and like the Atlantic island of Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the U.S., giving American authorities jurisdiction.
    No Navy Seals or government conspiracies, just an old fashioned luring operation.
