Yes. Programming is the best computer game ever. You get to invent your own plot as you go along, and the puzzles and challenges can last a lifetime. And it's text-based.
It just means that as a follow up there will be 5 or 6 posts scarfing up easy karma
So what? The purpose of moderation is to make more visible the better/more useful posts. The free link is useful. So the mod system functions. The fact that Karma gets distributed is a side-effect, not the purpose.
And there's no guy whose job it is to watch every second of every patrol car's video tape as the cops come back from each shift, in case someone missed something - there can't be any such guy, because cops have budgets, and it'd be an utter waste of manpower.
So it's not done because it's impractical. But one day it won't be impractical. And then everyone will be watched. All the time.
o, why didn't they just use the tracking from Echelon to capture Mohammed, instead of paying out 27 million
Because it's one thing to promise a reward, but when other terrorist-dudes learn that this guy actually got paid there will be a line around the block to turn over more.
Next time you're confronted with one, try screaming "MAN CLOCK" at it. Even it that doesn't work, somebody's bound to notice and tell you what time it is.
I don't think there's a natural area of Earth that's completely devoid of life.....you'll find life forms...near some very hot thermal vents in the ocean floor.
Nope. You can't post a comment until the story goes "live." I checked.
I see. So if the subscribers were allowed to post early then we'd start off with a higher quality of posts, instead of those from people who don't read the article. Except for you, of course.

That would be you, D.G.
What they would learn, apparently, is that no matter what the price and how good the content, people will still try to get them for free.
Hey, its not there fault.
Yeah. A guy was explaining it to me once, but he kept going on and on. I wasn't sure if he was ever going to finish, so I left.

You can taste your own tang? Man I'm jealous.

This can't get modded up because it's both funny and insightful. There'd have to be a "Wittily Poignant" mod.

Why in the world would the parent post be off-topic?
Gotta be a troll.

I believe that would actually be the Theory of Dumbass Relativity.

What about away from the thermal vents?

Nice schools you have up there in Washington.
So far I'm up to three.
No argument here.
"The apple section is like another site!"
(in unison with that other guy.)
Unless you compare it on a per-truckload basis, of course.
Why? (I tried the web site, but it's restricted.)
