I'm sorry, but this post shows that you either haven't played very many (tabletop) RPGs or your GM had a physical style. A really good GM will often have a lot of 'people' things. In fact, some of the best campaigns I can think of involve a lot of character interaction, like mediating between two kings or things like that. RPGs are about making a story the way that the players and the GM want it to be. If that involves a lot of physical things, that's what they want. If that's not what they want, it won't. Simple as that.
Thank you! Had this been the first time I had heard about him and I did the proper Wikipedia research and whatnot, I would have thought he might have something. However, having meeting him being the first time I had heard of him, I know the truth: He is a total hack. He was good in his day, but he should just retire.
(For those who don't already know, Nintendo was already several decades old, prior to their entry into the video games arena, as a playing card manufacturer.)
Of course, by "several decades" you mean "nearly ten decades".
who thinks that the UPS and Starbucks "problems" have good use? Like the fact that UPS wouldn't always be able to get the correct home country for somebody using a remote proxy or that somebody might actually want to know all the Starbucks locations within 5 miles because that's as far as they're willing to go, but they might be in different parts of that circle at different parts of the day...? No, I'm not trying to make excuses for these guys, and I'm sure that it was really lazy programming, but that doesn't stop it from being useful.
Really? The way I remember it, it was promised to be "no more than $250", which is precisely true. Plus we get a game with it that we weren't promised. The Wii is priced exactly as promised.
Really? My high school certainly has let through a few 17 year olds in the past few years (myself included) and my university certainly has a lot of people coming in at 16 and 17 from all over the country. Where are these schools that you speak of?
In what way is this insightful? It doesn't usefully answer the question and it basically looks like your post's entire purpose is to say "look at the shiny I have."
Reason why/.ers shouldn't make any slang attempts: "benjamin" refers to the $100 bill which features (*gasp*) Benjamin Franklin. The $20 bill (for which $2.00 is 10% of the bill) features Andrew Jackson.
Well, maybe you are good with the slang and you suck at math.... But this is/., so I'll go with the former.
While I'll agree M-W gives it as a definition, Wikipedia merely states that it has been is being used in this matter and even states that it is under debate as to whether or not it is a correct usage.

Good thing Japanese culture associates 4 with Death. We can maintain this silliness now!

Given all the references to "passwords" in the GP, I'd take it that he is also using multiple passwords.

Well, my point wasn't about universities (using a single data point), but about the high schools (for which I have many more data points).

But it's much easier to control a faster mouse than it is to control a faster gamepad, which is the point the GP was trying to make.
The saddest part is that that is probably the best analogy I've seen on this topic thusfar..... I need another Dew.
You're right... it was missing a car.
I believe he was referring to the "not effect the live action scenes" part of the sentence.
Ha ha ha "MP3" I get it!
Of course, but a) not everybody has the spare cash and b) it does nothing to answer the original question.
It comes off more as "my toy is cooler than yours." Even if you had pure intentions, the wording and tone make it sound otherwise.
Good point. In that case, it should be modded +5, Funny.

But the paying customers are feeling the harassment more than the copyright infringers.

The difference is that here he's just karma whoring whereas on Digg they would genuinely need such an explanation.

Also pointed out some posts back, he was born in New York and moved to Australia when he was 12.
Except for the part where he's American-born.
