I use a different calculation based on how much materials cost, the amount of extra materials I'm going to need if I screw things up, how much damage I can cause by screwing things up, and the likelihood that I'm going to wind up having to hire someone else to fix my mistakes AND to the original job I was working on.

Really? Because we can ALL do something... starting with changing the channel. :)

My preference would have been for Steven Spielberg to have been the original director, then for him to die (horribly!), and then for Kubrick to have taken over directing the Spielberg-approved script. It would have been wonderfully subversive to have Kubrick's eye and mindset applied to Spielberg's shmaltz-ridden…

But inaction lets the dirtbag pirates win!

Wait... either they are evil and no one should buy their product and it is crazy to support them, or they are super popular and everyone loves them and they make lots of money... but then your point is nonsense. Which is it? Is it stupid to love them because they are crap, or is it stupid to expect them to care about…

You can do a similar trick with a bottle of beer. You flip the bottle over into the glass and slowly pull it out so that most of the foam stays in the bottle but you get all the aeration and released aromatics.

Why is everyone obsessed with a Tchatchke in a loincloth?

... says the guy all bent out of shape having a tantrum over a TOY.

To all the haters:

It would be Tony Shalhoub, Missi Pyle, and weird tentacle sex... not hot, but I'll bet it would be AWESOME!!

I only bought an iPhone so I could put it in one of the 28.4 BILLION cases made for iPhones. :)

Punch the puzzle guy?

Or... buy a $17 rice cooker from Target and have a nonstick cooking surface forperfectly cooked rice every time, for years and years.

Finally digging into Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Will probably beat it this weekend, and start Revelations.

Blinking is both at once, for a fraction of a second... wow, that I have to explain that.

When I was in the Marines, they told us to close an eye when were were out at night and they shot off flares, so that we could preserve some night vision when the flare burned out. It actually seemed to work pretty well, especially if you are like me and you can wink with either eye.

Hey Other Joe... there are LAWS that you have to deal with. If you have a shotgun outside of your house and in your hands, whether or not there's a round in the chamber, you can potentially be charged with "brandishing in a threatening manner" and get locked up. A pistol in a holster is just as lethal and nearly as…

I don't believe you... nobody could care about the terrible characters on Journeyman, except for possibly hoping for horrible deaths, even/especially for the kid. Or the wife, who was the most terrible non-Kate female character on TV, ever. And I kept hoping Kate would get eaten by the polar bear.

I hang around my house at all hours day and night with a gun on my hip and a dog on a leash. I AM the "neighborhood watch" and any thief with a bit of sense will pick a difference house if they know what's good for them.

Most of the games I love rank around a 6.5-7.5 which is OK but not "awesome" according to the folks who write reviews. If I loved God of War, then why would I totally hate derivative games with slightly different features like Dante's Inferno and Darksiders?
