If the guy who made the Monkey Island series is behind it, my kids and I will be buying it and playing it.* (*As long as it is content-appropriate and not rated M or something.)
If I'm not mistaken, way back in the day (80s), he drew almost every character in the Marvel Universe for the Marvel Super Heroes Role Playing Game character books. He has a very clean style that's good for that type of work.
Two times I've had a flu shot. Both times, I got a flu for a week straight afterward with temperatures in the 100s. Probably not the same flu, but thanks for weakening my immune system when I needed it to fight off the actual flu that's going around...
You clearly aren't an allergy sufferer going to most doctors. If they don't personally have a family member with a food allergy, they treat you as if your concerns are completely invalid, no matter how dangerous that outcome may be.
Tin-foil comes in maroon? Can I get it in purple instead?
On a side note, I agree that it's the doctors' right to see what patients they want (as long as the decision is not based on certain criteria like race/color/religion/gender/etc). Stupidity is not a protected group.
But many of the refusers are doing it for religious reasons. Jehovah's Witnesses, for example, don't believe in ANY medical treatment for anything. We may not agree with their stance and think it's stupid, but it is for religious reasons.
One time my family was going to Hawaii on vacation and we were overbooked. This one family was completely rude to the airline staff, screaming profanities at them and making a giant scene in the terminal. They boarded the plane with them still standing there. Finally, after boarding, they brought the family to the front of the plane and said "Can we get 4 volunteers to be bumped to the next flight that leaves in 2 hours?"
I told my mom, "Let's do it! We might get free flights or money off the tickets. It's only 2 hours and we gain time during the flight." So we raised our hands and the flight attendant said, right in front of the rude family, "OK, if you 4 would come up to FIRST CLASS, we can get underway."
That was cold revenge right there, but we had a great flight.
Nintendo has tried in vain to remove hacks like the Homebrew Channel. Many of the patches have been trying to stomp it out and closing the bugs that allowed it to be possible in the first place. I would guess the remaining ones have to do with their new "channels".

These aren't even in Mozilla's plans at all right now. If you want to have an OS that gets rid of an old-school desktop, you might try supporting the browser equivalents.
Windows 3.0 had protected mode. Actually, 2.0 did too once they brought out Windows/286 and Windows/386.
The big changes in Windows 3.1 were built-in fonts and OS-wide printer drivers. This is what made Windows 3.1 finally usable for business and apps easy to write with printer support.
What if I prayed that God will make your life miserable, so that you will have something affect you. It would stop when you accept Jesus as your savior. Assuming I did such a thing and it worked (and God agreed to do it), God would be affecting you, but you would chalk it up to "bad luck", even if God gave you numerous opportunities to accept Jesus, because you would maintain that you don't want your life affected by gods (and thereby would refuse to accept Jesus), even though your life already would be affected by God to a great extent.
So, what you are really saying is that you have a completely closed mind to religious ideas, whether they exist or not and whether they are currently affecting you or not. Regardless of what may be reality, you live in a world where you refuse to believe certain potentially uncomfortable realities.
BTW, I'll actually pray FOR you, that God will bless you and that he would open your mind to see that he is real.
I don't agree. My friends and I have a rating system for movies: Theater, DVD, Rent/PPV/Netflix, TV (when I can't sleep or there's nothing else on), Never. This assigns a real value to the movie that is willing to be spent. Notice that the last 3 options have VERY LOW values.
Jesus was the original sharer. He made 5000 fish out of 1 or 2. That thief! He robbed the non-existent fishermen (they were in the middle of nowhere) of their sales!
It may not be, but I have to tell you that I was extremely impressed by it this week. I went to nj.com for the New Jersey Star-Ledger's list of Super Bowl Commercials. They had a list with YouTube links with a little commentary on each one. I loaded it on my Android tablet (Asus Transformer I) and we were watching the commercials full screen. Later, we tried to pull it up on the PS3 and it kept giving us an out-of-memory error.
Now, granted, on the tablet, we would have to restart the browser after about every 7-8 videos. But the real shocker was when we went up to my server to watch (4 CPUs, 16GB RAM) and we actually had to wait over 30 seconds to watch the first video on Chrome. I was amazed that when my beefy server was struggling this much to show the YouTube preview windows that the tablet had done so well.
So, already it's no toy browser, making me wonder what Chrome for Android really brings to the table.
But what if the Bible is often stated by archaeologists to be the most accurate archaeological textbook? There are literally thousands of obscure facts in the Bible (name of the king's eunuch, etc) backed up by archaeological evidence. Most of these were argued to be false at one time or another.
That sounds great! I would love that. Usually, they only bother me when I know what I want (half the time making me forget something I came in to get) and when I actually need something, they're nowhere to be found.
No one that counts recognizes Sealand's sovereignty. It is within the UK's territorial waters, it belongs to the UK.
Cool, what court case do you have to substantiate this position? Because there are already two UK court cases that explicitly disclaim Sealand as being under UK jurisdiction...
I understand that no one has made any positive recognition of Sealand's sovereignty, but it has acted with de facto sovereignty for a number of years already now, and modern international law does not require anyone's recognition of your sovereignty.
Sealand has fallen through a weird legal crack, that the UK could easily pave over at any moment, but until that time, Sealand is best described as an unrecognized sovereign territory.
And as such, if you thought the US beat Iraq easily in the first Iraq war, just wait until you see what they can do in this one.
My house has very small wire mesh under the stucco and I can assure you it works wonders. I can't get radio, TV, cell, anything inside my house unless I am 2-3 feet from a window or door.
Plus, online has ratings where you can read others' experiences. Stores have a sales droid that doesn't get a commission unless you buy their overpriced, broken garbage.

But the other doctor has a jet. I can only afford a Cessna what with the Ferrari AND Porsche payments...

Maybe they should start by, instead of rewriting the shiny stuff for the umpteenth time, actually supporting the new, HTML5-standard controls that actual business apps need:

As a person that can read Biblical Greek, I would say less than 1%. The 400-year-old English is more likely to get in your way than the translation.

Mod parent up. This is very Insightful.
Where's my mod points? This is really funny.

Time travel involving changing of the past is impossible. Why? Because we would see evidence of it already, as human nature is to abuse everything.
That sounds great! I would love that. Usually, they only bother me when I know what I want (half the time making me forget something I came in to get) and when I actually need something, they're nowhere to be found.
