    I'm going to pretend I understood your comment and say there's a big difference between temptation and acting on temptation

    This just in.... people are douchebags!
    but seriously, I was also a bit surprised at the high numbers. I guess I'd be tempted to take some code I've written though.

    I think it should be about the fact that someone is obviously playing The Sims on the laptop in the foreground

  5. Re:Data Posioning.... on Catching Satnav Errors On Google Street View · · Score: 1

    I've never heard it called that either, but I assumed it was what it sounds like. I've heard them called protected turns before, but I don't think that's common

    And what if it's a cloudy day?

    Then they use different weapons?
    Did you think they were going to scrap all existing weapons and replace them with this thing?

    Years ago I saw a poll that voted Freebird as the best song ever written. That's all I have to say.

  12. Re:Am I the only... on Digitally Filtering Out the Drone of the World Cup · · Score: 1

    I don't find it annoying.. the annoyingness of the game itself causes me to stop watching before it gets to me. I think I've only heard that sound for 5 seconds max

    I don't like watching sports either, but I don't think it's a complete waste of time if you enjoy doing it.

  15. Re:Damn you Walt Disney!!! on Why Are Video Game Movies So Awful? · · Score: 1

    And the part where the main character spends 30 minutes looking for a fucking switch to open a secret door.. poking at everything in sight and bouncing off walls... yeah, that would really ruin the flow of the movie

  20. Re:Falsely reporting an incident? on Man Accused of Trying To Sell Kids On Craigslist · · Score: 2, Informative
    I think it falls under this:

Initiates or circulates a false report or warning of an alleged occurrence or impending occurrence of a crime, catastrophe or emergency under circumstances in which it is not unlikely that public alarm or inconvenience will result
