Blizzard is somewhat notorious for.. shall we say.. liberally borrowing concepts from the Warhammer universe.
True, but it's not quite as simple as that. Warcraft 1 was originally going to be a Warhammer game. The deal fell through most of the way through development (for whatever reason), and Blizzard ended up just changing a few things enough to avoid a lawsuit, renaming it, and releasing the game anyway. That's why the universes look so similar - Warcraft literally started out *as* Warhammer.
Whether this justifies any "liberal borrowing" or not is left as an exercise for the reader. But it's not as straightforward as Blizzard saying "Hey, let's rip off Warhammer!":p
What takes so *ing long to repaint the previous screen that was displayed less than five seconds ago and so is (hopefully!) still in the browser's cache??
Yes. This is something that drives me crazy every time I use a browser that isn't Opera. Opera's back/forward is fast. Firefox always feels sluggish and IE, of course, is just interminable.
Hey, for a standard of comparison, I was just checking out a freakin' LAPTOP for $850 cdn, intel core 2 duo, 2 gigs ram, and a NVIDA 8600 video card, for $850.
Compare that to a PS3 for $600 bucks, considering how much more you can do with the pc laptop than you can with the PS3, and, well, you see where I'm going, right
And if you're going to make that comparison, be sure to count the cost of your TV with the PS3.
recompiling with minor code changes will slip most viri/trojans
Good work. You've got the first step of dropping the double 'i', now all you've got to do is move on to using an actual word like 'viruses'. Congrats!:D
It's a lot easer to know you've made the right choice when you've tried a few of the other options.
A couple of years ago, after I had recently broken up with a longtime girlfriend, my grandfather was on the phone in an attempt to console me (which was unnecessary anyway, since I was quite happy to be out of the relationship).
"Well, LoveGoblin, there are plenty of fish in the sea."
"Yeah, I know, grandpa. And how will I know which one I like unless I've tried them all?"
Not only that, but in the case of the chemical weapons: even if they had still been there, they would have expired. Those things have a limited shelf life, and would have turned to mostly-harmless sludge by the time of the invasion in any case.
In all seriousness, I think Jack should move to Topeka with Fred. With the two of them together, I think we can justify the use of nuclear weapons on American citizens. Just two of them.

Heresy. The final seasons of DS9 are among the best of Star Trek.

You can also untag yourself from a given picture, and can't be retagged unless you do it yourself.
You know, as a kid I always thought of it as a monster with one eye, one horn, flew, and ate purple people.
I think by "20" you mean "5".
Yes. This is something that drives me crazy every time I use a browser that isn't Opera. Opera's back/forward is fast. Firefox always feels sluggish and IE, of course, is just interminable.
Shit. Reading the article I kept thinking to myself "Well, at least there will always be jesus.com." Turns out that's not the case. I am sad now.

Followed closely again by "OH FUCK I'M SHITTING AGAIN."

Hah. I read that as "No red-shifted crewman were harmed" and thought "Well, they would be moving pretty fast..."
So that's what that stands for! I always thought it was World Wide Judo Dorks.
You say tomato.
Reading that as "vigilante mode", I couldn't help but think "Jesus, just what kind of gym do you go to?! ...and where can I sign up?"
Given the type of people that haunt the Internet...I doubt it.
It's the only way to be sure.
But the hilarity makes it all worthwhile.
Saskatchewan seems to do just fine.
It shouldn't be hard to figure out which species...there are only four.
