I don't think this stereotyped dearth of intelligent and motivated people is a reality. I've lived and worked in Charleston for a long time in the technology sector and I've worked with and known many smart, creative and motivated people. There's a large software company here and a lot of advanced industry in the area as well. Just because the DC is in Berkeley County doesn't mean you have to live in a trailer out in the boondocks (but you can if you like)... It's right next to Charleston County as well as Dorchester County (Summerville).
It's SO refreshing to see stereotypes painted with such a broad brush.
I for one am excited to see how this works out. I will definitely send them my resume. South Carolina is a fantastic place to work and live, and with more high-tech jobs like this coming to the state and the area, it can only get better.
One of the main findings was that rather than weighing a choice between the pleasure of making a purchase and the delayed gratification of using the dough for something else, the brain is actually weighing between the pleasure of buying and the pain of forking over the cash.
Well, duh. That's why everyone's in credit card debt up to their eyeballs.
I'd think there are less DVRs (and more pricey) that can handle HD recording so there are correspondingly less 'fast-forwards' through commercials... how's that for advertising?
...like it did for Air Warrior. EA bought and systematically killed what was arguably the best MMO WWII combat flight simulator... It was really sad. Hope they don't fuck this one up too.

I don't know what's more irritating, the clowns making bumpkin and redneck jokes or the people with total lack of geographic knowledge.
Tornado alley? Are you serious?
Wow, that was a pretty awesome troll.

I guess this puts a whole new meaning to the term 'swirly'.
My favorite episode was the Scrabble one. I watched it over and over, like fifty times, laughing myself sick.
Symantec has all the street cred of a pimply-faced 17-year old driving his mom's Lexus SUV. Seriously.
Viacom is suing because they want part of Google, they want a piece of the action.
Those are called 'trucker bombs' and they're a problem because the truckers just chuck them out of the windows onto the side of the road.
"Craplets": Best new word this year so far. I respectfully submit this word for inclusion into Webster's Dictionary.
Does that make it the Mother Of All Bugs?

Are they going to fake the low gravity environment too? Seriously.

I think your tinfoil hat is on too tight, bro. ;)
Are there ironic mod points? Because that would be ironic.

Don't worry. You're not. I had my go at that with MUDs in the 90's. No thanks, I'll take the real thing.

... is EXACTLY what would benefit Microsoft the most. Sowing the seeds of paranoia and distrust WITHIN your enemy's community is a classic tactic.
