Two of those are forms of transport and one is a fuel. They're not directly comparable. One might argue that "Gas > Car" simply because gasoline has so many more uses. Cars...are only really good for one major use case. You could power stuff from their batteries, but that's really a functionality of the battery rather than the car.
I'm with that one guy who said we retitle the "editors" as "word rapists." Although lately the summaries have been slightly less egregiously misleading than usual.
1) If your game is shit, people won't buy it. If you fix it, people will start buying it. 2) We can release a shit game but people will still buy it if we get somebody to fix it later.
On the other hand, when they throw in snippets of German on tv shows and some movies (The Bourne Identity springs to mind), I *do* understand what they're saying and it actually makes sense.
The Lego code wouldn't be running on the suit after compilation. Either that, or they decided to store the Lego source code on the suit as well just for shits and giggles.
I wasn't talking about heaven, I meant dimensions that we can't observe and that are difficult or impossible for us to conceive of due to the bounds of human cognition. But okay.
Well the goal of preaching is to convert people, yeah? I don't see why that has to be limited to any particular religion, or lack thereof. Convincing someone to be an atheist is just using different arguments, but it's still seeking to bring them around to your point of view. Or does 'preach' imply some amount of fervor? Because plenty of atheists have that as well.
I guess I'm just suspicious why the words evangelize and evangelical would be so similar if they didn't refer to the same root word. Another win for our English language I suppose:P
You're saying mapping 1/1 -> 1 and 2/2 -> 1 is maintaining a one-to-one set. It's not. It's a many-to-one set now. It sounds to me like saying "we already encountered this number so it doesn't count" when it's a reduction and *not* the same number is throwing 1-1 out the window.
Then, one day, a student who had been left to sweep up after a particularly unsuccessful party found himself reasoning in this way: If, he thought to himself, such a machine is a virtual impossibility, it must have finite improbability. So all I have to do in order to make one is to work out how exactly improbable it is, feed that figure into the finite improbability generator, give it a fresh cup of really hot tea... and turn it on!
He did this and was rather startled when he managed to create the long sought after golden Infinite Improbability generator. He was even more startled when just after he was awarded the Galactic Institute's Prize for Extreme Cleverness he was lynched by a rampaging mob of respectable physicists who had realized that one thing they couldn't stand was a smart-ass.
Maybe we need to wait until they publish the 47-volume set of "How Absolutely Everything Works, Explained In All the Excruciating Detail You Never Wanted."
Boy, Mike Rowe's vocal cords are gonna be tired.
P.S: Coincidentally, I had a CS professor also named Mike Rowe.

So we're not allowed to have agendas now?

Stop bullying gay people?
Ambiguous English for the win! :D
There are worse things to be than a dildo.
Is this a "any of" or "all of" list? Time to whip out the <ul>'s.
Ah, but which message gets conveyed:
1) If your game is shit, people won't buy it. If you fix it, people will start buying it.
2) We can release a shit game but people will still buy it if we get somebody to fix it later.
This is *The Matrix*. Why the hell would they have GUIs?!

And then they casually mention Oracle in Iron Man and I throw up a little in my mouth.

What's with the surprise? The version number change... or?
I was more surprised when they announced that the next version is going to be 9. What, three whole releases in a row with the same naming scheme?!
There's one great idea in Metro: the ability to show app content on a medium-size chunk of the desktop.
It's called resizing windows. Y'know, that thing we've been able to do ever since Windows 3.1 or so.

"Evangelical" as in "evangelize" as in "everybody should know that I'm an atheist and therefore better than you."

*late 17th century. Whatever.
Because he didn't wait until the 21st century to tell people his word? Er, what?
What's "heat me" supposed to mean?
Reminds me of the infinite improbability drive.

But then you're redefining the previously-used term. Why don't we just wrap another layer around it and keep our existing terminology?
