    Heck, it appeared in the movie Hackers which came out in 1995!

    It was already something easily recognizable at that time.

    BBT doesn't use a laugh track, it is a live audience laughing you hear.

    How they record a show that takes place in many different places in front of a studio audience though is beyond me.

  3. I think we all have features of each of the characters, but I will personally say I enjoyed the earlier seasons more, the recent couple have been all about relationships and have moved from the nerd culture they used to be about.

  4. Why did the chicken cross the road?

  5. Non-commercial use is not a fair use argument.

    The rest of those I believe are valid fair use arguments.

  6. No u!

    I don't know what specific country you think I would struggle to find, but in my school we went through each continent through the course of elementary and middle school (1-5 and 6-8 years) and were required to know where each country was. We also did all 50 US states, and the counties in our own state.

    I never said any country was minor. However I wish Kim Jong Un would keel over and die, since it would be a significant improvement for his people.

    1. It is a troll comment, I would have modded down if I had points as well
    2. What makes you think the editors need to participate for modding to go against what you believe
    3. Nausea is a problem with older units, this one is supposed to be better able to do head tracking with good 3D accelerometers and high frame rates (allowing it to draw the view faster)
    4. There are people that will always get nauseous no matter how good the product is. My mother can't go see 3D movies as it makes her nauseous, should everyone stop going to 3D movies now because they might make you sick, but not me?
    5. Make an account if you want to be treated fairly, ACs are always started at 0 as they generally don't have anything good to say, and are mostly trolls. If you want to be a productive member of the community, you wouldn't be posting as an AC.

    When you get divorced, are you suddenly always called naked?

    Naked is entirely not the correct word to use, and is even more inappropriate because a naked singularity is something in physics, and has nothing to do with companions of the black hole.

    You totally missed the person's point.

    No, I didn't miss it, it's a stupid point.

    If you didn't miss the point, why are you arguing against something that wasn't said?

    Isn't that a white hole, as hopefully it doesn't suck things in, but ejects things.

    I'll just leave this here.

    The Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), as well as the nations of Barbados and Jamaica, appealed to the United States for assistance.[3] It was later reported that Grenada's governor-general, Paul Scoon, had requested the invasion through secret diplomatic channels. Scoon was well within his rights to take this action under the reserve powers vested in the Crown.[14] On Saturday 22 October 1983, the Deputy High Commissioner in Bridgetown, Barbados visited Grenada and reported that Sir Paul Scoon was well and "did not request military intervention, either directly or indirectly".[15]

    When the lawful government of a country asks for assistance, would you rather we sit back and watch a violent group overthrow the rightful government?

    The US is more than happy to pull out when asked, just look at Iraq and The Philippines. Of course, it seems like they are begging us to come back and help them with their problems now, but you are welcome to ask us to leave.

  20. Perhaps you should read the Gizmodo article before dismissing it?

    They go into the reason it is false; the "Unicorn Lair" used in that translation is a bad translation of Kiringul which is a historical city they are claiming to have identified the location of.

  22. Um, did you forget that the Iraqi president gave the US no choice?

    I would say that one is on him, he forced the US out of Iraq. Neither Bush or Obama was able to convince him of how bad an idea that was.

    Personal sales of firearms require no background check. If I buy a handgun and sell it on to you, I don't even have to ask if you are a gangbanger. It is actually not illegal, nor is it addressed by Obama's gun control changes.

    PTSD from being attacked and raped? Nope, can't own a gun, even though it would help to reduce the panic attacks and would make you feel safer.

    Mentally abusive husband twists your mind constantly making you feel like you have no power, you finally get away from him, and are prevented from owning a handgun to protect yourself from former abusive husband.

    The proper response to an abusive ex is to own a gun, would he dare break in if you had a firearm pointed at the door?

    Integrated trigger locks would be a neat addition. Like a keyhole in the area behind the trigger that physically blocks the trigger from moving from inside the gun.
