    On the other hand, and reacting just as extremely, just what sort of relationship are you in where you never argue, and that the mere thought of arguing implies that the relationship is inherently broken? Never mind that the comment was made in jest, and that you seem compelled to defend your utopian model of a relationship. Let me guess, you wear the pants but she tells you which pair?

    Actually my best friend's wife is a girl, plays games, and isn't fat. However there's a downside no one has mentioned... Picture if you will, a husband and his wife playing League of Legends...

    "come and help me get the blue buff"
    "why are you feeding the other team??"
    "for Christs sake! I just want to win a game! Why won't you ever just play normally instead of trying to jungle and getting killed all the time?!"...

    Consider the implications of having your girlfriend / fiance / wife partaking in your favourite past time. They will tell you that what you're doing is wrong, they will not be pleased at all if you throw a game on a badly judged gank (even if it would have gotten you that penta kill if only Nocturne hadn't been hiding in that bush). And they will blame you when your team loses AND never, ever let you live it down.

    Good on you, the last place I worked at inflicted similar work hours on one of the senior devs who was just too damned nice to tell them no, so they walked all over him. When they lost the client he was most often scheduled to do work for, they simply let him go. The poster below sums MBA types up pretty nicely, and I'm pretty sure that the company's resident MBA played a role in cutting the senior dev loose.

    ...Some time ago there was a post about a guy who created a wrist strap and holder for his iPod Nano. This seems a lot like it, anyone know if there's a connection?

    You're just jealous because the rest of us learnt a programming language with real world application which you are obviously too stupid to learn. Or perhaps your shopping mall based community college only taught up to the Java level. Case in point - you can't discern why startup time would matter to a user. Here's a hint: they don't want to wait all fucking evening for your stupid program to load when John Doe here has built a better version of it in Flash. As for 'BASIC' and 'fills a purpose' in the same paragraph, I'll chalk that one up to your fat chubby fingers skittering across the wrong key combination as you barely struggle to contain your bottomless rage.

    The problem with AS2 is that it's an atrocious language, which is hard to read, hard to understand and INCREDIBLY hard to maintain. I've had the "honour" of wading through pages of other "developer's" AS2 code and it's taken me 3-4x as long as it should have to make the simplest of changes. I have no sympathy for developers who don't get AS3's strong types and object orientation. I'm not in the least bit surprised that that calibre of mouth breathing retard would be more at home crapping out pages of Javascript 5 days a week.

    Dear retard, while it certainly is CHEAPER to kill someone with a $1 hammer from Dollarama, it's infinitely EASIER to blind someone with a laser, you know, because of the way light tends to reflect unpredictably off surfaces, and how people tend not to deliberately kill each other with hammers...

    I'm almost certain that someone in my town has something similar to one of these. My apartment's fairly high up overlooking a couple of main roads and residential neighbourhoods, and one afternoon I was watching TV when I was hit by an extremely bright green light that seemed to come from somewhere down the road, and which then briefly filled my whole vision. It wasn't a particularly pleasant affair, luckily whatever dickhead was shining it around didn't keep it in one spot for long. They really ought to be classed as weapons - it only takes one careless turd to wave one of these at a set of flats / office / condo and you've got a good chance of flashing someone in the eyes.
