    I'm no grammarian, but I'm pretty sure "they" is either Judges or Areas...

    You click on each digit of your PIN after entering (or pulling down from the history on registered computers) your customer number. You can not type them. You must click them.

    I'm sure the list is long, but how MANY of the 721 NA retail games have multiple retail versions?

  4. Re:good on UK Government Mandates the Teaching of Evolution As Scientific Fact · · Score: 0

    Right.

    Except that you're completely wrong.

    As has already been pointed out, there are plenty of things that, if we teach our children, the state will intervene, remove our children, and charge us with abuse, which they should.

  5. Re:Fair enough I suppose on UW Imposes 20-Tweet Limit On Live Events · · Score: 1

    The reporter is free to report all he wants and tweet all he wants. The college makes no attempt to stop that. ...but if you want to sit in the press box, you have to cede LIVE reporting of the events to the media organization that paid for the broadcast rights.

    They're even willing to let you tweet live every couple of minutes - just not as a play-by-play.

    He's welcome to tweet all he wants... ...and he'll have his media credentials revoked, and he can buy a ticket.

    If he wants to sit in press row, he'll have follow the rules that say the guy who PAID to broadcast the event live gets to do the play-by-play, and not have it undermined by your twitter feed.

  7. Re:Lack of User Controls on FTC Offers $50,000 For Best Way To Stop Robocalls · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's great... ...except you now get twice as many calls from robo-dialers.

    You get all the calls to your NATURAL number, which go direct to your phone.
    AND you get all calls to your Google Voice number with spoofed IDs that you missed.

    Sure, you block most of the GV calls, but you still get 100% of the calls to your natural number.

  9. Re:Only in science? on Sexism In Science · · Score: 1

    I was going to moderate this "completely wrong," but that's not an option.

    Not only do plenty of women molest small children, they manage to "overcome" the plumbing issues you suggest prevent them.

  11. Re:They're really playing for keeps, aren't they? on Why Apple Replaced iOS Maps · · Score: 1

    According to this map, if you were to walk "up" Greenwich Ave, you would be going north when in reality you are walking NW. Going "east" on 14th would have you going SE instead of true east.

    What?!?

    If you go "north" on Greenwich, you're walking NW, and the map points NW.

    Do you want a localized map with NW on the top?

  12. In a word, yes.

  13. Wow. on The Deepest Picture of the Universe Ever Taken: the Hubble Extreme Deep Field · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Seriously. Wow. The universe is awesome. Anyone unimpressed is either lying or ignorant.

  21. Re:Doesn't this go against the spirit of BitCoin? on BitCoin Card To Launch In 2 Months, Says BitInstant · · Score: 2

    Transactions OF BITCOIN are irreversible.
    Transactions between two exchanging parties are, of course, reversible.

    If I give you a $10 bill, or B10, that's yours, and there's no "undo" button in the system to reverse the charge.
    Nothing, however, stops you from giving me back my $10 bill or my B10 if we cancel the transaction.

    You trust a merchant a heck of a lot more when you give them your credit card or checking information.

    What we teach is completely arbitrary. We just happen to [mostly] agree on it.

    If you think we don't already teach kids all sorts of lies because they're part of our collective "truth" then you're pretty out of touch.
