It makes sense if you assume that *his* brain works like that.

0 is as bad as it gets. 10 is as good as it gets. 5 should be precisely halfway between the best and the worst, half of all games produced are better, and half are worse. I.e., average (or median for all you pedantic statistics geeks).
I guess it's a fool's errand to try to stop everyone from messing up scoring systems with absurd use of superlatives like "ultraorgasmic".
Perhaps we can start rating games like people rate eBay sellers: "Great game! Would definitely play again! A+++++++++++++++++++!!!"
I think the only way your analogy could be worse would be if you added moral disgust to total absurdity by comparing gang rape to a turn based arcade game.
The problem is, of course, that sushi is not an English word.
Also, the phrase "language evolves" is not the same thing as "I come from a country where 99% of the population does not have basic literacy skills".
So we (the rest of the world) don't give two shits what sushi means "in the US". We would prefer to use words correctly so that there's common grounds upon which to communicate effectively. You can keep the dog's breakfast of a language that is "American English" thank you very fucking much.
I agree. This isn't some Orwell-inspired conspiracy to silence freedom of expression, this is a valid objection to the use of equipment in an educational institution being used inappropriately. Yes, censorship and coalescing of power in the hands of the government/corporate complex is a huge problem faced by the general population of western nations, but lets identify the problem rather than burning down the house to kill the termites. I don't agree with the idea that social taboo as a means of behavioral regulation is a bad thing. Telling teachers to behave in a manner that highlights to children how we would like the future generation to conduct themselves is not OMG CENSORSHIP, it's the process by which tribal savages become productive farmers, who become orderly towns people who become civilized nations. Take a walk out to the streets in a large city these days, and the behavior you'll see makes the marauding Vikings look positively gentlemanly.
The outcry about this really highlights in my mind the fact that society today has decided that finding common morality is a bit too hard to bother, and apathetically defaulted to a state of total moral disintegration. It's not censorship to think that civilized people should act, well, civilized. To all of you who think that it's some kind of social repression to frown upon people who make a habbit of unashamedly expressing themselves in a vulgar and crass manner, I suggest you go see the movie Idiocracy, because it's about YOU.
Better than "Googling" on the internet, which gives me a mental image of some creepy guy leering at security cam footage from a ladies toilet that he downloaded from Limewire.
So you're saying that it can only be described as zero day on that day, and thereafter it cannot be called a zero day exploit, but a n-day exploit where n is the number of days since it was announced?
Sorry, but while you may be *lexically* correct, I think everyone with two brain cells that are on talking terms knows what is being referred to by a "zero day" exploit, even when referring to an exploit not released on that day.
Indeed. But what if you're the ones who are the ignorant barbarians, you just happen to have bigger guns? If there was a necessary link between a nation's firepower and a nation's level of civilization, then you *may* (and I stress "may", as it'd still be open for debate) have an argument. As it is, there's no evidence to suggest that military might is any indication of a nation's moral and ethical uprightness.
Yea I made that mistake. My car just stopped on the freeway, and when I called the roadside assist service for a jump start, they tried to upsell me a tank of gas.
That's not due to the laws of thermodynamics, that's due to the operation of hybrids being totally different under those driving conditions. Apples to apples please.
The laws of thermodynamics state that regenerative breaking can only capture *some* of the energy lost in slowing down. One will never get as much range in city driving than in highway driving. Mainly because in this house, Lisa, we obey the laws of thermodynamics.
Google, presumably, coz now the only feature their stripped down excuse for a word processor had over anything else has been added to a real wordprocessor.
Also, every company dumb enough to think storing internal docs on an out-of-house remote server is a good idea.
What is needed is a plugin for Abiword that can be used to save to *any* svn server, not just the hosted service. That way a company can ensure that their internal documents remain internal. It also means that you can *choose* to be at the whim of a service provider, or *choose* to go it alone.
Such a feature in a word processor would be a *huge* selling point to companies and savvy individuals alike, a selling point that can be used as a real benefit to offset to the very real costs of migrating away from MS Office.
I hope ARM beats x86 merely because x86 is an ancient technology that has a pile of limitations preventing the industry from moving forward as fast as it otherwise might. Previous attempts to move away from x86 failed due to the absence of software to run on the new machines. It's all fine and dandy if Microsoft write NT for the Dec Alpha and Itanium, but if there are no apps, it's pointless.
ARM however, has a software patron in Linux and the open source community. I'm the hopeful kind, and I hope that ARM and Linux help each other gain market share. Super low power netbooks that only run Linux would rock. Windows will never run on a machine that delivers 20 hours run time on a single charge. Linux+ARM can deliver that, it's just a matter of an OEM having the balls to invest the marketing and development dollars in making it happen.

Yes, because that's a hell of a lot easier than just using a search engine where it's not an issue.

You lost me there, your car analogy contains a train, which threw me off track.

How are Sparklines even patentable? They're just a graph, scaled down. I don't even see an innovation here, either my Microsoft or Tufte.

Yea, because Google's idiotic toolbar being bundled with everything from the end user Java VM to Adobe PDF Reader is so different a tactic.
Don't try. I spent thousands of dollars on counseling, but alas, it was in vain. The memory remains.
Good thing I don't accept any of the tenets of post-modernism as being valid then.
So you're saying that it can only be described as zero day on that day, and thereafter it cannot be called a zero day exploit, but a n-day exploit where n is the number of days since it was announced?

So much for these truths being self-evident.
Yea I made that mistake. My car just stopped on the freeway, and when I called the roadside assist service for a jump start, they tried to upsell me a tank of gas.
Damn salespeople.
I think there's an iPhone app for doing that.
No, seriously.
That's not due to the laws of thermodynamics, that's due to the operation of hybrids being totally different under those driving conditions. Apples to apples please.
Wrong. Just because thermodynamics has "thermo" in it doesn't mean the laws only apply to heat.
The laws of thermodynamics state that regenerative breaking can only capture *some* of the energy lost in slowing down. One will never get as much range in city driving than in highway driving. Mainly because in this house, Lisa, we obey the laws of thermodynamics.

Well I guess it's better than Ubuntu 9.10 Horny Homoerectus
Wife 1.0 is not supposed to be a pain in the ass. I think you're confusing that product with PrisonCellMate 1.0
From what I hear, the hardware requirements for v1.0 are more flaccid than stuff.
