Sure, but couldn't we stick with ones like cute puppies, fluffy kittens, or bald eagles if we're handing out breaks? I mean, if we HAVE to "accidentally" let a lifeform go extinct, smallpox has my vote!
Went here to see whether a comment about Virtuix Omni has made it into the top three, was not dissapointed.
Haha, me too! Although combining an Occulus Rift and and Omni is probably a bit too much like actual exercise to really take off in a big way. Yeah it's a neat gimmick, but not conducive to gaming for hours. Unless you are specifically using it to make your exercise routine more interesting, in which case it's a great idea. That would be a different user base than for most video games, though...
"In order to ensure continued access to scarce skillsets that are key to our ability to innovate, we need to be able to draw flexibly from a global pool of professionals."
Wait a minute. Microsoft has the ability to innovate? Who knew!
That 8 minutes of audio was brutal to listen to. But that aside, yeah, my wife used to call Charter every year and say we're canceling because we're switching to ADSL. We weren't, but they reduced our rates for another year like clockwork. Next year when the rates went back up again, lather, rinse, repeat.
... it might be fun to say "Why I'm cancelling is none of your damned business."
He did actually say that. Repeatedly. If you haven't listened to the audio give it a try. Bet you can't make it through the whole 8 minutes. I got pissed off beyond belief after about 2.
Yeah, my thoughts on climate change and the environment are kind of mutually exclusive. Maybe climate change is man-made, maybe it's not. But who cares. We're eventually going to run out of fossil fuels, and they're very dirty so why are we using them? I like a clean environment because I like a clean environment, and I think we should be doing everything we possibly can to get off fossil fuels as soon as possible. We are not currently doing enough. And if man-made climate change is happening due to our carbon emissions, well, a side effect will be improving that!
Plus, I'm far too imaptient to ever try hypermiling. I tried it for a week or so when I first got my new truck years ago, and that week was hell. But then I've always viewed travel as wasted time with which I could be doing something else, so I tend to try to get where I'm going as fast as reasonably possible. I walk fast too.
Is a win for the Tesla, but it sounds likes it pretty spectacularly failed when he hit something.
...while it was going 100 mph. I'm all for safety but I don't expect ANY car company to design a car that will keep occupants safe in a crash with enough kinetic energy to embed half the car in a fucking building...

If it emerges again, I imagine finding a sample of the virus won't exactly be a problem...

Problem is you can't get all of their stuff streamed. Some of their titles are DVD only. Stupid, I know.
I'll have you know, drinkypoo, that looking up your signature lead me to read Snow Crash to begin with. Great book!
(My post above was in reference to the OP, not the post I replied to.)
I didn't post this, but I think most of the replies/mods missed this dripping sarcasm...

No, the grammar in the headline is correct. Shooters is plural, so "don't" is correct.

Seperation of power results in loss of power for all!
As it should be. We need fewer laws, not more of them.
Being a current Time Warner subscriber, all I have to say is: Holy shit, me too! Time Warner isn't a whole lot better, but they are a little, IMO.
That's fine unless they report you to a credit agency. Yeah, you could clear yourself of that, but it would be a PITA.
People are lazy. They don't go around and call you to fake-cancel their accounts hoping to get a better rate.
We used to do exactly that with Charter every year. Worked like clockwork.
They probably publicly reprimanded him, then privately promoted him...

But did you LISTEN to the audio...? I don't think a jury in the world would convict him.
(yes, i'm kdding, but hot damn that was awful)
The fact that there IS a business called "Big Ass Fans" actually makes me want to live on this planet - at least for a little longer.

But that subset, by and large, does not post here.
That'll buff right out.

...be sure you buckle up! You can't expect Elon Musk to do it for you.
Don't give anybody any ideas!
Well that's pretty ballsy. "Yeah, we know you banned this with us in mind, but....can we do it anyway?"
