    I'd be surprised sonic has fans, let alone fanfiction.

    But they have chosen pricing controls which only make the problems much worse.

    I don't get this and forgive my ignorance but how so? On the face of it, at least by name, that seems like it should be a good thing. Rent is stupid expensive so the max you can charge is $xxx. So, how does it actually get implemented that it fucks everyone over?

  5. I put one in for semi circular corners. They didn't seem to have a problem with it so I'm just drafting up my suit with my law guy. We're trying to figure out if a zillion is a real number. Doesn't matter though that's what we're going for.

  6. Oh noes, an extra fucking l? Call the fucking police to come confiscate my keyboard and remove my fingers so I can never make such a mockery of the written language again. Are you serious? You come back two days later with that? Good job.

    Imagine you're in an out of control Trolley. You're headed towards three buildings and you control which you slam into.

    Is it out of control or not?

  10. The 'rounded-corners' bit was part of a long list of cosmetic, as opposed to utilitarian, details that Samsung copied very closely.

    Fuck off, the corners can either be rounded or square and no, they're not going the be square. They practically all had rounded corners and a button in the middle on the bottom. Apparently a rectangle is the same as a circle, or at least very close.

    Sorry pal you cannot get back into the simulation. Out is out. After taking the red pill you are out.

    Ask the Argentinians just how easy it is to dog fight a Harrier jet. The short answer is you can't. Every time you get behind them they just pull up to a stand still and you find yourself in their sights again.

    Are we not looking for a volunteer for a one way Mars trip?

  19. Is it just me, or does this last sentence have nothing to do with the rest of the post or topic?

    This car analogy is getting more complicated than the actual, real, situation it was supposed to be an analogy for. Does anybody on Slashdot seriously not understand at least the basics of how IP addresses work?

    Yeah, but this is slashdot where folks love a good car analogy. They even do them on car related stories!

    When they look at you funny and unclip their holsters just tell them you have a 4 digit slashdot ID and you'll be ok.

    Annual number of gun deaths is us = ~12,000

    That's truly awful, but I'm talking about tourists. And outside of minority inner-city gangs, the homicide rate in the US is not much worse than other developed countries. Gun violence is something that tourists should be aware of in places like Orlando or New Orleans, but the traffic and smog in China are bigger killers. Take precautions, and enjoy your vacation.

    The homicide rate just from cops is higher than some countries.

    American visa -> expensive visa. Fill forms on the Internet explaining my traveling plans (where, who's house, witch hotel), etc and book a date to take a photo and to do an interview. Had to travel to one of the cities with an embassy (1hr by plane), go to one of their photograph centers let them take a photo (for the FBI/NSA/DHS face recognition database, ie be treated like a criminal), then go to the embassy, get huge lines, do the whole security theater thing, do an interview, pay extra to get the visa by mail later.

    Besides the safety aspect, I'm not scared of bringing electronics in/out of China, they won't mess with your luggage. To the US, the only safe option is to discard anything that gets out of your sigh (remember hdd firmware virus), so you are limited to carry on.

    Is that just for going there or part of a long term thing? And does being Brazilian have anything to do with it or is that just how they treat visitors nowadays?
