Fair enough, I suppose, though I would still say that by the strict definitions, it still is in the "Giant Robot" genre. I don't think it was a spoof so much as it just didn't take itself all that seriously.
If they were asked to leave and did not it was perfectly for them to call the police.
IIRC, The only person the cops dealt with was Agent Schafer (or whoever it was). Well, there was another guy too, I guess. Anyway, when the cops got there, NEITHER of them had been asked to leave. They weren't trespassing at that point. Had the manager actually ASKED them to leave, THEN they would have been trespassing.
I completely agree except for one thing: there are the occasional good giant robot shows. I liked Big O. I'm sure there are at least one or two others, but all that comes to mind is Megas XLR, and that's not Japanese.
Tell me why "certain bleeping professors' trying to Latinize English" is an accurate characterization of the proponents of this rule, and why that characterization (if accurate) invalidates the rule.
I am not trying to say anything about those who currently teach this rule, whether as a stylistic guideline or a hard fact. To a point, I am not even arguing against the existance of the rule. I am expressing my frustration at the English professors who borrowed this rule from Latin for no better reason than, "Well, Latin does this and Latin is so much better than Germanic languages so let's do this." (I'm sure said professors had better sentence structure.)
As soon as I can find a copy. I saw them once, but didn't have the money. Now I've got the money, but they're nowhere to be found. Off to Amazon, I guess.
Sorry, didn't mean to end a sentence with a prepostition.
Tell me where that's a rule outside of certain bleeping professors' trying to Latinize English. THEN you'll have to apologize. IIRC, it says nothing of the kind in Strunk & White's.
Fine! You can go ahead and plug a standard controller into it for games that work better with it if you want. The "revolution" is not the controller itself, but its modular design that allows for multiple input methods. If you can't play Super Mario Brothers with the gyro, just plug in a controller plug-in that provides the design/feel of the original NES controller.
the gameplay dictated the design of the controller.Revolution appears to be the other way around.
And all console controllers in the past decade...?
That's the entire point of the modular control Nintendo is touting. Instead of having to map a great game into an old gamepad that is entirely inappropriate to the gameplay, a developer can go, "Hey, here's a great game. Now what kind of control would work best with it?"
Thanks! I'd be fine with 65-70. It's the 80+ that worries me anyway. Now I just need to find me some thermal pads, etc. and finally figure out how to crack the stupid laptop shell open.

We ascend and in so doing join the ancient alien race from which humans descended?
There didn't use to be a difference in meanings between "personal computer" and PC. Guess I skipped that day of class.
I chisel all my data into stone tablets, thank you very much!
I thought that was the entire premise behind the idea of multiple distros.
Actually, yes they do. Dysons, at least. Now whether Dysons are any good at sucking in the first place...
And thus you get modded insightful. Heh.

So what you are saying is that c is not so much the speed of light, but more along the lines of the speed of time?
I'm getting used to it. I'd have to, to own one (which I will). It's liking it that I refuse to do.

Oh wow. Thanks!
Thank you for making my point more clearly than I could. :) I may have to borrow your 'quote' one day.

I mean, gamecube/snes/nes/n64.nintendo.com don't work. Well, duh. You put the directory after the host. Idiot. ;)
I'm placing my money on D'ni.

For now, my friend. For now. Mwahaha!

It saddens me that we Arkansans/Arkansawyers are so equated to Wal*Mart. Though I can't think of anything better to be associated with.
I don't trust Dell to make my Dell. There's no way in hell they're getting anywhere near my car.
Well, that oath only applies for people who are actually trying to help people.
