    I for one welcome our sharks with lasers on their heads, eating hot grits, suitcase cracking overlords! From Soviet Russia, in the name of longcat.

    Apple? Perfect?

    Antennagate? Bendgate?

    You must have a short memory.

  4. I see Kuh-tor-ull, Esc, and Pig-Up, but I don't see the "Any" key! Woah, all this computer hacking is making me thirsty, I think I'll order a tab.

    The only thing worth using on yahoo is mail, which I suspect is where the traffic comes from.

  7. Re: Here is how to hold Microsoft accountable on EFF Petitioned To Investigate Windows 10 Upgrades (change.org) · · Score: 1

    Blame consoles more than anything, people want to be able to see their game on the TV.

    TV's are a smaller "target" area than a monitor, the viewer is sitting further back, so they reduce the FOV so there is minimal perspective distortion.

    PC users of course complain about it in the port as they are sitting much closer, as they need a more open FOV.

    Funnily enough though a PC game that fiddled with the norm that I first remember is Half-Life 2, with its 75 degree default.

    Not biscuit. It's a muffin

    Not muffin. McMuffin. Try ordering a muffin in McDonald's and wait for the blank stare from the cashier.

    I just carry a picture that matches the one on the cash register. Bonus, this will also work with a robot as long as it has a camera as one of its inputs...

    Only problem is that even robots can not make a McMuffin that looks remotely like the picture they have in the store of said McMuffin.
    It will just cause a system error that the poor mechanical soul will never recover from.

  9. I think that is the best analogy that I have read out of the other 50 analogies presented here.

    Being stuck in the wrong season is completely problematic.
    Twitter and Facebook won't shutup about what is happening in the current season.
    Fan forums and official forums talk heavily about the current season.
    Then there is just all the google resultsm wiki inf, you name it
    It is a complete nightmare to "follow the law".

    Funny how many countries and the nature of the internet itself create and foster this "global economy", why does it not apply to the content that we consume?
    Age old, filthy rich, boardroom dinosaurs, the bane of the common man's existence.

  24. This sounds more like a story from The Onion, it is that silly.
