    Why aren't you helping the turtle?

    Thank you. iTouch is a fucking marketing company, not a product from Apple.

    Yeah, and anyone who drinks past 20 should go to AA. Idiot.

  7. Re:False assumption on Sentence Spacing — 1 Space or 2? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The linux Kernel is (was?) 8 spaces. The idea between 8 space tabs is that if your code is indented so far as to be a pain to read, then you should probably look into why it's so nested.

  8. Re:Put that in yer pipe and smoke it! on Industrial Marijuana Farming Approved In Oakland · · Score: 1

    Sure, corn or hemp may not have toxic side effects, but saying "A plant is a plant" doesn't work. Check out Giant Hogweed for example.

  9. Re:Seriously? on Sound As the New Illegal Narcotic? · · Score: 1

    Keep on believing that. Don't forget that Alcohol, Nicotine, and Caffeine are drugs as well, and the first two kill way more people per year than any illegal drug, yet millions of people consume the legal ones with no detriment to their, or anyone else's safety, health, and well being.

  10. Wizard's First Rule on Given Truth, the Misinformed Believe Lies More · · Score: 1

    "People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true.... People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool."

    Also I do appreciate (even the impersonal) updates... makes me feel like I'm still home.

    Agreed, it may not be quality conversation, but it's nice to know when they're doing well, or if they're unhappy. If all is well, fine, if something is wrong, I can phone/etc

  13. Re:How about multiplayer? on Dragon Age 2 Announced · · Score: 1

    I go back that far, but I run a NWN persistent world. It was the multiplayer and community content (ya buzzword, but it's true) that made NWN amazing.

  14. How about multiplayer? on Dragon Age 2 Announced · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Still hoping for a true successor to NWN.

  15. Re:Hmm.... on Blizzard To Require Real First and Last Names For Official Forums · · Score: 1

    A scenario: PvP server, some guy is questing, get's owned 15 times by some dickhole, you come around, see a newb and gank him once. Dude snaps, tracks your ass down and smashes your window. Just because you weren't a dickhole doesn't mean someone else is mentally stable.

  20. Re:The funny part is, it's still better than Andro on Apple Hires Antenna Engineers. Really. · · Score: 1

    I went back and read your OP again, and it still came off as iOS > Android, it was about the third look over when I went to copy/paste it here that I noticed what was in parens was meant to apply to the initial statement, and not as a reversal to openness applying to the quality.

  21. Re:Yay! iPhone has been destroyed! on iPhone 3G vs. Solar Death Ray · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not a teenager by a long shot and I still enjoyed that. Or are you sad that someone might defile the fruit of Jobs' loins? Really, if you don't like idle don't fucking read it.

    Even if it isn't, is it any different than storing a picture on file?

  25. Re:Big Deal on Thumbprints Used To Check Books Out of School Library · · Score: 1

    While I'd like to participate in this fine show of one-upmanship, I have to agree with you. It was cards for me in high school, and computers in college. I really don't see a problem with using a thumbprint for this, and I'm usually fairly privacy minded.
