    You sound reasonable.

    Congratulations! You will never serve on a jury. You'll be excused from the jury pool early enough to make it into work.

    I'll accept that the day we can immediately remove the President from office because he is not trying to be a legitimate world leader.

    I like him because anyone who backs his points of view finds themselves agreeing, point-for-point, with a crazy person. Most people in places of power tend to avoid associating themselves with the derranged.

    I like him because I fear the day he is replaced in his crusade by someone even remotely competent. Yikes.

    No, no, no!

    Gasoline burns much longer and emits more photons per second than kerosene ever could believe. It begins to approach 70% efficiency, no joke! Plus, if you keep pouring more gasoline onto the surface, the fire never runs out of fuel -- if you rigged a automatic pouring mechanism, it could theoretically last for hours, perhaps even days.

    Take that, BigPetrol! We're finally on our way towards an oil-free world, everybody! Huzzah!

  13. Re:So reaction is mixed on Retro Studios Stepping Back From Metroid For A Bit · · Score: 1

    Games have a development cycle of 2-3 years, especially top-notch games like Metroid. Considering I'm fairly sure I remember reading someone had noticed changes to the wiimote as recently as a few months before launch, it makes perfect sense that the design/layout/API/etc. wasn't finalized by the time MP3 was in full dev cycle.

    Them's the breaks. Sucks? Sure. Unreasonable? Not at all.

    Pop quiz, hotshot!

    1. A mass sitting on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to one end of spring; the other end is fixed to a wall. 3.0 J of work is required to compress the spring by 0.12 m. If the mass is released from rest with the spring compressed, it experiences a maximum acceleration of 15 m/s/s. Your job is to find the value of the spring constant. What do you do?

    Wow, that's classic! You are one twisted twisted mofo -- being able to come up with that load right there on the spot? Awesome!

    Honestly though, people. The "G" version is totally acceptable for most people's needs. Totally not worth it to buy the "P" version, as it is missing some digital acuity in the upper kilobaud range -- dunno about you, but I notice it every time. The "N" version shows promise, though -- I can't wait until the FCC finally gets their act together and reqires the BetaMax filters to be installed on all TVs, and we'll get some *real* action.

    Dude, I swear, I wouldn't have been able to keep a straight face! Classic!
