Typically "zerg rush" involved either a 9 pool or 6 pool (amount of pop you had; 9 pools were typically dropped prior to your second overlord)
This impacted your economy significantly, since you're working from one hatchery instead of 2 in the early game, and didn't go fast gas.
There were other strats that were valid; 'ling massing vs zealots were pretty effective prior to the first forge upgrade, and were very synergistic with mutalisk follow-ups to finish off the 'toss player.
Gadwell's Outliers went into great detail on why pilots use English now.
Very interesting reading - English is more of a "blunt" language (less differentiation between titles/power distance between the speakers) so it's easier to communicate "Hey idiot, we're going to run out of fuel" to your commanding officer.
If you're talking about Simpsons post-Hartman's demise then yes, you might be a humorless twat.
The fact that you took umbrage at a comment not directed at you also gives us clues to your level of "funny-bone".
Most importantly, however - the "humorless twat" was directed at him because he thinks that a comedian's antics should be any sort of reflection on our society. It isn't. He's maybe in the role of court jester, speaking truth to power. But more likely he's just playing up a grandiose egomaniac of a character that stops at nothing to get his name mentioned. Taking it too seriously and ascribing it social significance is indicative of a humorless twat.
The equivalent is complaining that iTunes encodes everything in AAC format. Sure it does, but you can change it to MP3 if you wish, and iPods play MP3s without batting an eye. (MOBI is a supported Kindle format)
The PDF issue - I'll concede the point that the Kindle should read PDFs somehow that doesn't involve mailing them to Amazon. The bigger issue is that the Kindle has trouble with PDFs, period. The whole email shenanigans is really a side effect.
If I want to transfer a TXT/MOBI file to my Kindle, I can just do it. PDF, on the other hand, will be converted by Amazon if I want them to convert it.
If I have a PDF --> MOBI converter (do they exist? dunno) I could conceivably do it without involving Amazon.
I was actually incorrect in my original post, as you don't have to email Amazon if uploading TXT to your Kindle. (you can, of course, if you'd like to zap it straight into the Kindle instead of connecting it to your computer)
*shrug* They're offering a conversion service, but it requires sending it along to Amazon.
Now, you can dislike the Kindle for the DRM or lock-in; I understand that. The objections raised here, however, aren't really accurate. Plus you're watering down the real issues (DRM, lock-in) with horseshit issues.
You create a Kindle account when you get a Kindle. This is tied to 2 Kindle Email address (yourname@kindle.com, and a free one) - you then tie YOUR email that you plan on sending pdfs/txt files from.
Sending PDFs/txt files is simple: email them to one of your TWO Kindle email accounts - either the standard one which will push it out to your Kindle directly after converting the file (cost: $.10), or the free one that converts it and sits it in your Kindle account on Amazon.
If you opted for free, you download the Kindle formatted file to your PC, plug your Kindle in, and transfer it. Gee that was hard.
I loved Starflight as a kid. Funny thing is the system they had didn't allow saves (and assumed one user on the computer) so my father ended up writing a batch program to tweak it so me and my brothers could have our own games.
It was my first exposure to (rudimentary) scripting; I ended up modifying it for my own needs later.
Plus screw the elowan and thrynn, bunch of "separate but equal" racist mofos.
They declared Chapter 11, which allows them bankruptcy protection while they restructure.
While they might not emerge from Chap 11, they didn't declare Chap 7 (liquidation) so they see hope for a continuation of the company post-debt restructure.
Personally, $20 is my sweet spot. I've spent more only once in the last 5 years (ironically when I had more disposable income)
I don't think you understand what irony means. It doesn't mean "an expected outcome". Which is what buying more expensive games because you have more disposable income is. . .
the whoosh was for the AC, not the pulp fiction quote. The pulp fiction quote was amusing and the first thing that popped into my head, too. The feigned ignorance by the AC afterwards was devoid of wit.
OK you can't get color, but you can annotate (notes tied to whatever line of text you're on) and perform "Clippings" - taking a block of text and saving it. I believe you can note the clipping as well, but I don't really have a use for the functionality, myself.

and I love Georgia O'Keefe's work.

Furthermore, Rowan Atkinson is a brilliant comedian in his own right apart from Bean.
His HBO special's finale on the invisible drum set was nothing short of genius.
Flash - a-ah - saviour of the universe
Flash - a-ah - he'll save everyone of us

Pick Two.
I.e.
if (isChangingTimeZones) vs if (hasChangedTimeZones)
But the compiler would catch that anyhow ;)

Your "sad statment" is indicative that you're a humorless twat.
Milton didn't invent the mat. You're obviously not very good with people.

How'd you buy anything from Amazon, genius? Yeah, with your account. Same with every fucking website in the world these days.
It ain't difficult, you're spreading FUD.

schadenfreude - taking delight in others' misfortune. Guilt doesn't enter into it, AC.

Whoosh implies there was some sort of humor to get.
Suggesting that he apply supply chain methodologies to this problem is misapplied knowledge.

It felt almost like a whole excuse-making process; "I'm not lucky enough to be successful" is a valid point according to the book.
I'm probably not expressing it right, but this book bothered me immensely and I won't be purchasing another Gladwell title.
OR you plug it into your computer with a USB and initiate the transfer (free)
