    overpriced

    I thought we'd dispelled the myth that Apple's computers were significantly overpriced.

    Oh wait, you were trolling. In that case, nevermind.

    Hopefully they'll do something like offer an external adapter. I think that's the best thing they can do in this situation. Knowing Apple, it'll still cost you. Then again, if there's enough RAGEing going on, Apple might provide it low-cost or free.

    2003 runs a different version of the NT kernel than XP, and is therefore intrinsically different. And don't forget NT 3.51, a separate release from 3.5. See here.

    just because they all happen to be named Windows

    So when Intel released Pentium processers with different die sizes or construction, are they also unrelated and completely different, and everyone's just been conflating them just because they're all called Pentium? Please. Think about what you're saying.

    The problem with this is that typically wizards/etc need to learn *how* to do all the crazy physics-defying things they do.

    We have the same problem in D&D. Why can't you have someone who learns magic for the sole purpose of enhancing their own abilities? Or some kind of hybrid? That class would be hugely popular in whatever game it was in.

    Actually, in the USA, a lot of ISPs pay money to the telecoms that own the lines. Where I'm from (Michigan) it's AT&T. That's who owns the lines. When you have a problem with your DSL, even if it's not through AT&T, chances are an AT&T tech will come out to fix it (if it's a line problem).

    No no no. You need a warblade to initiate "Iron Heart Surge".

    Or wikipedia,...

    Nice, you successfully called Wikipedia a hoax and a prank without actually saying it. Like anything else, if you trust the material on Wikipedia to be true, you're going to get burned eventually. I for one use it as a starting point if I really need to research something, but never as a source itself.

    Which is the part you people love to not read. In other words, "You should still be paying the taxes you should be paying". There are legal, legitimate, moral methods of "arranging your affairs", and there are those that are not. But, I suppose, since "A judge said it!", it must be right and true, and cannot be argued with, right?

    I guess there's no chance of getting you to accept the fact that other people often have differing opinions, eh? I think that CAD is one of the worst things passed off as a "comic" that's still read by a large number of people. Achewood has made me laugh out loud several times. CAD makes me facepalm. I mean, really. The quality of webcomics overall is astoundingly low, and Achewood is a gem. When was the last time that you actually laughed (and I don't mean an "oh that's clever" chuckle) at a webcomic? Even Achewood's comics that aren't meant to be funny are brilliant - for those that can get it.

    There are dozens if not hundreds of better comics out there. How did this idiot get on NPR?

    Then recommend some, rather than flinging more insults, eh? Show me something you think is funny, because otherwise your point of view is "I hate things" to me.

  21. Re:Read it from day 1 on Achewood Creator on NPR · · Score: 1

    I agree wholeheartedly. Achewood's most certainly not about the one-time gag. Despite its ridiculousness, the humor is often slyly sophisticated.

    And, in case there are those of you out there who just "don't get it", if you find Tim Buckley's works, especially his material the last year or so, to be funny, you won't get Achewood. Trust me on this one.
