  1. Re:Take control of Ann Coulter? on News Corp Deal With Eidos Confirmed · · Score: 1

    You've never seen her in person then. When she appeared before a crowd (which was microscopic compared to the one Al Franken pulled in at the same venue) at the University of South Carolina, the first thing that passed through my mind was "jesus christ, that's the most un-natural looking human being I have ever seen". Six-foot tall anorexics with large breasts are much less appealing than they sound.

    If you really want to to stop the inexorable grind of government expansion, start a constitutional convention in your state and try to fix the damned commerce clause.

  4. Ah, so on Blizzard Releases StarCraft Patch · · Score: -1, Redundant

    No wonder they're taking so long to fix the problems with WoW....

    Just chiming in to mention that Hollings has retired, our new junior senator from South Carolina is rather significantly more embarrasing to the state

    Ironically, the cheap knock-offs were made in north carolina. Yes, the markup on the official cartridges was so much that even American labor could offer competitive prices.

    Movie Gallery is pretty reasonable too, if you happen to be in the southeast.

    hmm... I left town just before the Publix opened up in the old confederate printing press downtown, and the parking situation aroud there can only be described as dire... I wouldn't bee too suprised if they did. But as I said, no firsthand experience, this is just speculation.

    Also, I should've RTFA-title... I was thinking about the self-checkout stations near the front of the store, not a scan-as-you-go cart.

    All the grocery stores here in Columbia, SC have had systems like this for at least a year and a half... and being south carolina, surely we're well behind the curve.

    You've got to be kidding, the final boss is absolutely unpossible! There's no way to outstrategize him, he just makes a straight line for you while moving faster than you can run away!

    Wait, it just takes you to the pizza hut ordering page? lame. Soe should already have your name, address, and CC# on file, it should just automatically place an order for Pepperoni Thin Crust.

    What do you mean "activate" it? Just install the game and log in, the CD key is only used to create your account.

    Hell, I never even bothered to install from the CDs, just kept running the open beta client.

  19. Re:Non-player on MMOG Currency Seller Owns Media Network ? · · Score: 1
    I play WoW regularly and I really don't see the problem here either. They've used a wide network of volunteers to build a comprehensive database of all the items, quests, creatures, and NPCs in the game. Sure, IGE could use this data to set exchange rates, but they could get it anyway, even if someone else was behind the project, because all of their data has been made available to the public.

    Anyway, with thottbot's site claiming to run 40 servers, I'm suprised nobody tried to follow the money sooner.

  22. Re:Kids' parties are a tougher job...... on Beware The Rotundus Rover · · Score: 1
    Bullshit, I had an eighth grade teacher who took a group of supposedly gifted kids on an overnight trip every year. To keep everyone in their room after lights out, she'd put a piece of tape over the room doors. Every year, somebody got busted the next morning for having left their room, and every year, nobody ever figured out the solution that would be obvious to you or me.

    It was a hell of a lot of fun watching the ones that caught finally get it while viewing "Spartacus" in history the next year.
