    All of the (non Capcom/SNK) fighters are doing a lot of things like that...
    Upskirts and flashes and such are quite common in Soul Calibur 2.. and all of the girls 'bounce' in MK:DA...
    Combine that with their moand and screams when they get hurt, and it really does become a 'guilty pleasure'.

    Personally, my legs were never flabby. Carrying around the rest of my body everywhere has made sure that that's one of the few parts of my body that is actually solid.

    Anyone up for compiling a conspiracy theory or two?

    Are you kidding? With all the tinfoil-hat wearing kiddies on here we've probably got 40 or 50 different conspiracy theories that are actually viable, and then another 4 or 5 hundred more each involving at least one of: underpants gnomes, beowulf clusters, natalie portman, soviet russia, or the goatse guy...
    It's just that noone can come forward with these theories because if, on the off chance, they happen to be right... they won't be around much longer to talk about it...

  22. Re:And how do you measure risk? on Microsoft Rolls Out New Anti-Linux Ad Campaign · · Score: 2, Insightful

    For lost student productivity, I have no idea...something silly like $1 per hour per student just so you can quantify the loss?

    Nope, much easier:
    [tuition fees] * [hours downtime] / [# of course hours]
    It costs a lot of money to be a student, and if you can't do your work in class because the computers that they are teaching you on are down, bitch.
    The college I went to decided to put in a new computer lab, which caused the first two weeks of our classes (30hr/wk) to be cancelled. That worked out to roughly CDN$1000 of lost time per student... There were nearly 100 of us affected.

  23. Re:Fake It on Alarm Clocks for Heavy Sleepers? · · Score: 1

    Mod Parent Up!!!

    I do this exact same thing.
    The only difference being that both of my alarm clocks are across the room.
    The first alarm does that really annoyingly loud buzzing, which jars me out of bed to stand up, walk across the room, and shut it off. (Never hit snooze because it causes said annoyingly lod buzzing to come back).
    The second plays loud music, and I can get up for that.
    I actually have a third alarm clock that is my 'floater'. It is the one that I allow myself to change the wake-up time on, for days on the weekend when I may need to get up by a specific time. In this way my main alarm clocks never get reset. This is very important, beacuse if you're like me and change your alarm time, you will forget to change it back, causing other problems.

  24. Re:Shouldn't that be GTA V? on Sim Sin City - Thoughts On Grand Theft Auto · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I thought GTA 4 was Vice City . . . the next would be 5.

    Nope, just like GTA: London 1969 (the expansion to GTA) was not GTA2.
    And I don't think that GTA4 will be called 'Sin City', as in the first GTA there was three cities: Liberty City (New York, the world of GTA3); Vice City (Miami, the world of GTA:VC); and San Andreas City (LA, and the only city they haven't made 3D yet).
