True about the pot, but I've never known a homebrewer to go all-grain before going full boil extract. I suppose there's nothing stopping you from going partial boil to all grain though. I used an 8-gallon enamelware pot for about a decade. When I moved to 10-gallon batches, I ended up with a keg to make a keggle out of but before I knew that was going to pan out, I had my eye on a 50qt aluminum stock pot Sams Club had for about $60. They had smaller sizes cheaper than that.
There's nothing inherently expensive about all grain. All you have to do is soak grain in water at a specific temperature range for long enough for the enzymes present in the malted grain to convert starches to sugar and then rinse that sugar out of the grain. When I made the jump from extract brewer to all-grain, my only equipment purchases were a $20 5-gallon round igloo cooler, a $3 5-gallon paint strainer bag from Lowe's and a $10 digital thermometer. The grain sat in the bag in the cooler to mash (statch-to-sugar conversion). Then I drained the bag into the kettle and added a second batch of water to the cooler to soak the grain a final time to get out more sugar (and hit my taget pre-boil volume). You can check out forums like homebrewtalk for some good advice on how to get into partial mash and all-grain cheaply. Equipment is one of those things that will cost what you're willing to spend.
The first words of this post were "New Version of Flashback..." It all went downhill from there. But at least Delphine Software isn't going to bastardize a classic by turning it into yet another FPS.
Vigilance is very important on all platforms. The worst infection I ever had was on a Solaris 9 box. Some piece of garbage zombie bot took advantage of a weakness in CDE. Who the hell targets CDE?!
Sure they understand it. It's just a lot harder problem than you're giving it credit for. Most console and mobile platforms have built-in APIs for multi-user applications. They make it ridiculously easy to hook your players into a rich multiplayer system with very little programming effort. But they are platform-specific systems that don't talk to systems on other platforms. So do I dump a ton of development time into reinventing the wheel and coming up with my own system from the ground up or do I use the pre-existing systems and just live with the fact that users on multiple platforms can't play together? There are also network costs. Some systems like XBox don't make the developer pay for network costs associated with LIVE. Is allowing users to play each other across multiple platforms really so important that you're willing to front the network costs for the foreseeable future? I get your point and I agree that it would be nice, but it's multi-platform multiplayer just isn't logistically feasible in most cases.
Looking at the list of nominees tells me exactly why the Oscars doesn't have a scifi category. Flesh Gordon? Zardoz? Outland? Brainstorm? These were all Hugo nominees! There just aren't enough good scifi movies in any given year to guarantee enough viable nominees. There are some bumper crop years (1983 for example), but if you're scrounging so much for material that you're willing to consider Sean Connery in a red leather codpiece, you need to just burn the damn awards show to the ground.
Did you ever do research that wasn't heavily directed by your professor? I haven't. I've never listed my prof as a co-author but I would've had no qualms about doing so. Actually putting words on paper was the easy part. I also wouldn't hesitate to put the more helpful members of my research team as co-authors. We didn't do that in computer science at my university but both practices were commonplace for the education department where my wife went to grad school.
If there's not enough room to determine whether or not the car in the roundabout is going to turn, then they built the roundabout too small. Near my home, the city of Southlake implemented several roundabouts on their residential backroads. They were well-placed and well-designed. They make driving in that area a lot more pleasant than it was before. The neighboring city of Colleyville had a case of the me-toos and installed their own roundabout. They shoved it in an intersection that was too small for it and it's a nightmare to navigate for the same reason you mention above. A 4-way stop would've been a lot faster and safer than that travesty of a roundabout.
Vizzini: But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the throttled phone in front of himself or his enemy? Now, a clever man would put the throttled phone in front of himself, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the phone in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool. You would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the phone in front of me.
Man in Black: You've made your decision then?
Vizzini: Not remotely! Because iPhones use AT&T as a carrier, as everyone knows! And AT&T is entirely peopled with criminals. And criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the phone in front of you.
"Mobile" may be like Windows PCs, but the mobile market has a lot more diverse hardware set. We may see something along the lines of a Mac where the entire hardware subsystem is upgraded so at some point staying with the old set of hardware leads to no longer being able to run any newer programs since at some point developers will stop targeting the older hardware. So while your hardware may be technically capable enough to run the latest Angry Birds (or whatever the fad is by that time), the software will simply not be available for your older device. That will lead a lot of people to upgrade devices who otherwise wouldn't.
It's like Dippin Dots. They're the ice cream of the future! Nevermind that they've been the ice cram of the future for about 25 years now. At some point you have to rightly suspect that they'll never be the ice cream of now.
Even more surprising than that: There's an active TI-99/4A group? Really? Is Bill Cosby a member? That was my first home computer and so it'll always have that special place in my memories, but that thing wasn't very useful when it was still current. I can't imagine trying to do anything useful with it now.
We have a CompUSA near my home. It's not the same CompUSA that existed in the 90's. TigerDirect merely slapped the CompUSA name on their retail stores. It's a very different place now.
Fortunately, they did away with the old Vogon instruction book. They found a nice lady by the name of Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings to write up a new manual.
When did reference counting stop being a form of garbage collection? It's still listed as such in several compiler textbooks and wikipedia. If it's not longer considered a form of garbage collection then someone should probably let the rest of the civilized world know about the change.

No, I meant Flesh Gordon. Thank you for seriously helping me make my point.

Yeah, last I checked Land Rover is also still in business.
Did you go to high school in Shermer, Illinois? Jocks? Geeks? Really?
A tweet? I'm not familiar with that metric. Maybe you could convert it to something more standard like Libraries of Congress.

No! That's stealing! You wouldn't steal a car. You wouldn't steal a policeman's helmet and go to the toilet in it... would you?
No, Next was the old version. Who's on first.

Exams officer? I've never even heard of that. Sure, I'll ask this exams officer. I'll also ask Inspector Spacetime while I'm at it.

With alcohol, you are correct. With cigarettes, you are very, very wrong.
Tax social media to the extent they tax alcohol and tobacco and then see how easy it is to give up.
