  1. Re:Nostalgia Trumps True Skill? on Where Have All The Game Gods Gone? · · Score: 1

    And yet one of the first things most people do when they play a new game is turn the video options way down and shut off the music. That says something about what really is required.

    I'm not even a gamer and I know this is complete bullshit.

    Or you could just stop playing the game.

  10. Re:What do you expect? on The Hiccups of Free Wi-fi for Cities · · Score: 1

    Lastly, can we give up that stupid "free as in beer" crap? In the real world (i.e. outside college and univeristy), beer ain't free.

    We should get rid of the term "free as in speech" too because in the real world (i.e. China), speech ain't free.

  11. Re:Hello, My name is Simon. on Mafia Boss Using Crook Crypto Captured · · Score: 1

    Quit looking at my bum! Cheeky monkey!

  12. Re:This is common... on Cops Walking the MySpace Beat · · Score: 1

  13. Re:This is common... on Cops Walking the MySpace Beat · · Score: 1

    These laws have been enacted relatively recetly in our town. I remember them being instituted back in the early 90s. Of course, they could have been on the books for many years but just started getting enforced recently.

  14. Re:This is common... on Cops Walking the MySpace Beat · · Score: 1

    Apparently you're not allowed to have more than 3 non-related people living in the same household. Apparently this cuts down on big party houses or something. I think it's pretty ridiculous myself.

  15. Re:This is common... on Cops Walking the MySpace Beat · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I work for a small municipality. The code enforcement officer uses Facebook and MySpace to determine if college kids are breaking various residency laws. It's amazing how many people put up actual information on these sites.

  19. Re:OT: SciFi and apostrophe names on New Star Wars TV Series Confirmed · · Score: 1

    This is the way I look at apostrophes as well. I guess I learned that from Hawai'i and the Hawaiian language.
