Let's see if I can get the cops to search my apartment for enema apparatus. Maybe I could make a shrine to "The Golden Flusher." Of course this is a bad idea. Looking up information is not illegal. End of story.
You could, but I'd rather just get the pain over with earlier rather than later in switching over to 6. But I am a guy who likes to front-load his work, so... meh?
I've given up on "professional" reviews. There always seems to be a bias, an agenda, or just paying back their advertisers. I follow a few people on YouTube who have done reviews that have mostly lined up with my views of games. And this extends beyond just the motion games.
To bad you posted AC- I would've up-modded you. A world of shiny, curvy things that crash every 20 minutes. Cram Linux in there and you can then add the 5 hours of configuration after every crash. The best of all possible worlds. And then I quit my job and become a pimp.
Some people hate the US so much they will come up with any metric to make it look bad. US is worst per capita. Who cares if a group of other countries belch out 5 times as much garbage as the US; per capita the US is worse, so we should just count all the unregistered immigrants- that should drop the per capita down a bunch. The US is only 7th in recycling rates (http://www.aneki.com/recycling_countries.html), so we're 7 times worse than Switzerland, which makes us worse than everyone else lower on the list, because of babble babble babble. Just shove it and mod me to oblivion; I'm feeling cheerful today.
"TV is not an entertainment medium, it is a mediumm for conveying advertising." That is both the most correct and saddest thing I've read in a while. The talent (actors, directors) want to entertain, and the producers just want money (well of course the actors and directors want money, too). Which I can understand, since they are in a business, but what chaps my ass is how quickly shows will get cut if it's not a producer/studio's "favored child" and it doesn't do well in the first 2-3 episodes.
$2K? I maxed (not RAM though) out my Macbook Pro for $2100, and that included the $300 for the 3 year AppleCare. They can run hot since they're thin, though. Eh, let him learn the hard way. Builds character.
"We have used the finest bubblegum, paper maiche, and Legos to build a custom attack helicopter that has abilities that the Apache could never achieve. It's mostly how fast it shakes apart, but that is a mere engineering problem to be solved when our latest shipment of Bazooka Joe gum arrives! Halla malla hoobooey!" Next they'll strap some jets to a camel and call it a stealth fighter.
You know what, I'd probably do the same thing. Add in the time to shave, shower optional, getting dressed in the monkey suit all adds up, plus the drive time. Hell, I could check my email while eating my Raisin Bran. Pop on the local sports radio show while doing whatever, and it's like driving (well, for me anyway). And just being able to have the temperature below 76 degrees would be worth at least 3-4 hours. (I swear, women are reptiles)
I just love how the article begins- "First time accepted submitter..." Is this some kind of backhand compliment? "Hey, you sucked before, but we'll let you submit something now." I don't know, it just seems an odd way of pointing this out.
And don't forget home-grown proprietary software that was built on Windows. Lots of businesses are working on converting their old XP programs to Win7 now. Remember Y2K and Cobol? Do you want to just try and fix what you have or skip to an entirely new platform and the several billion headaches that entails? What will management pay for, or what will management even understand? I know that the Linux guys care about their OS, and that's cool. But like you said, they don't realize they can't just whip up a similar program that has been used for decades and just expect it to fit right in.
I feel for you on the cheese steak front. Born in Philly suburbs, and when I've had to go to other areas of the country... let's just say it's not good. I think the worst was Denver- a slab (about 1/3 inch thick) of ribeye(?), cheese melted over it, sliced raw onions on top, with a cup of pizza sauce on the side. I would have rather nuked Steak-Umms. Same deal with NY-style pizza. Even Philly can't get it quite right. I also like my bacon chewy.

Republican? Are we on the same /.?
Huh, learn something new every day. :D
From what I gather from the media, Japan is rather overrun with monsters with tentacles and such.
They make the Wi-fi connections easier.
I'll toast to this.

Whoever has the most girls in bikinis.
Like Stonehenge, the pyramids, the Mori, or some Aztec stuff. A freaking hotel? Might as well make the world's largest toilet paper roll.
Oddly, I wasn't even trying for that. I really didn't care at that point. Cheers! :D
Yeah, they don't even know the problems with RFC 1149. Damn laundry detergent was 1/3 of my school budget.

We had to jack our computers into the damn phone lines to dial up (on campus!) into the network. Damn, I'm old.
And rolling a 42 is auto-win, every time for every roll.

Ah, ha ha, I'm glad you have a sense of humor! Carry on, friend.
That bites, especially if you do what I think you do.
