I wear regular jeans that even the iphone 6plus would fit in if the jeans are laid flat on a surface, but I'm not 300 pounds, so my pockets curve more than Apple expects and the 6/6s demand. And there are smaller people than me! How did skinny California engineers come up with a design that doesn't fit in ordinary pockets?
Munged HTML in my previous post. I like the people here at/., but the interface has sucked for more than a decade.
Consider this: If you denied evolution, would that impact your life in any tangible way?
Maybe if I wanted to be a doctor, nurse, teacher, scientist
If you're a doctor or nurse long enough to observe evolution and have it effect your medical practice in a tangible way, then you're very long lived!
or make it out of high school.
Hate to break it to you, but evolution covers only a tiny portion of required high school biology courses, and required high school biology courses only a fraction of the courses needed to graduate. And you can do that with D- grades in the required high school biology courses. You can refuse to believe in arithmetic and graduate high school.

D&D isn't even a setting, it's a set of rules. The closest D&D was to being "a setting" was in the BECMI days when the rulebooks presented "The Known World" of Urt (later, Mystara) as the default setting. But that wasn't D&D, that was Urt/Mystara.
It's not just the animation (3D dragons on 2D drawings) and the acting that sucked. They got the story wrong in several places. Watch the ending for Elistan and Laurana if you want to make your brain explode. Totally phoned in.
so far their "broken" method is working and there's not much I can argue about that
It's only working in the same way that a cartoon bridge built out of haphazard boards and nails works. The rug may be halfway out from under my feet, but they've already walked off the cliff. They'll be fine until they look down and notice the bridge has collapsed.
From a technical aspect, the cloud is simply incapable of delivering much of what traditional IT infrastructure delivers in house. [...] but people aren't presenting a cogent argument against it
You just did. And we keep pointing this out to non-IT folk, but they don't understand the cogent argument.
Because they needed to burn 50 DVDs for a few events back in 2003? That's why a lot of places have them. Just be glad they didn't spend money on one of those duplicators with the robotic arms.
The Hundred was okay the first two seasons. Almost Human was actual Sci-Fi, examining implications of new technology every episode (and rarely the androids). I liked the US version of Life on Mars, ending included. I don't understand your reaction to Wayward Pines' pacing since it was a one season show, although I agree with you about the last couple minutes. Those can be left off to make an excellent series just like the last few minutes of the movie A.I.
Are we going to let the Russians beat us in a new area of transportation science? If we don't clone the first mammoth, we'll have to clone the first mammoth on the moon!
It's not programming code. But it is code. It's encoded information, just like medical billing codes, Morse code, genetic codes, QR codes, and Mountain Dew Code Red. Just because it's not code intended to make a multi-purpose computer compute something doesn't mean it's not code.

No trouble at all; if you have any response, that becomes the new "lying" baseline. Suddenly you're lying score goes up 90%
consciousness is an illusion. There is no such thing.
Some would argue that illusions are impossible without consciousness, and therefore consciousness can't be an illusion.
You wouldn't believe the types of media genetically modified caterpillars consume.
If you plan on driving to the beach, you can leave the phone at home.
5s is already two revisions old. iOS 10 probably won't support it.

Hey Apple! Make a phone that fits in my pocket!
Ain't nobody sure about *that* pig, if you know what I mean.
Does Bubba weigh more or less than my prize yearling?

The TV show "Community" actually had two episodes of people playing D&D much as you describe, and both are excellent.
I know one that was made into a really terrible movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt08...

And why a lot of others shifted to OpenOffice and LibreOffice. No ribbon was the selling feature; no cost was icing.
