The fact that you said this after your argument above is the funniest thing I've seen all day.

While we are at it, let's shoot down the myth that the Ford GT-40 was a race car. Seriously? 0-60 in 4.2 seconds? You can almost do that in a stock Jeep!

Here's the thing, when you need precision, yeah, the metric system is absolutely better, which is why we use it for those things. But for the every day human experience? Even in the UK, Ireland, Australia and Canada, which have had metric as standard for decades, people still tend to speak in feet, inches, pounds, and…

When do we give up our racing games to symbolically pay our respects to the victims of vehicle fatalities?

Hilariously enough, it's actually a pretty big part of the show that Magnum isn't a very good detective. He's lazy, doesn't own his own equipment, rarely has a clue about what's going on, and almost always, at least initially, believes the wrong person. When he solves the case, and he doesn't always, it's through a…

Or, some new breakthrough in biotech will make machine based AI obsolete before it is every fully developed. Or, so economic/political/natural disaster (or likely all three) will set back funding and research to a point where machine-based AI is no longer viable. Or, some unforeseen physical barrier (heat generation,…

They can get a little cumbersome on a manual transmission car, especially if you have to dim going into a turn. I do, however, miss the old dimmer stalks that you pulled towards you with a satisfying click, over the moderns ones you just kind of nudge.

Man, when I was in high school, a little UHF channel ran this show (if that tells you how long ago it was), and at five episodes a week, it would go through all three sagas pretty quickly. I'd watch it every day, except when it was showing the first part of the Macross saga. Then I'd check in just enough to see how…

She looks, for once, like a real person who actually raided a tomb full of smugglers and wild animals, not a pin up model. Reminds me of Bruce Willis at the end of Die Hard, actually.

MSRP on the Touring package for an Odyssey is $41,880. The Elite package starts at $44,450. "Easily spend $50,000" may have been an exaggeration, but not much of one.

Well, you are rarely hauling just 5. Kids have friends, and friends come with their own gear, and the days of cramming everyone together on a bench seat are long over. When you live in the deep suburbs or out in the country, you can't really make separate trips or rely on your friends or neighbors to help out. You…

I'm mostly kidding around here, because I think your premise is false, but okay.

Yeah, and I wrote games in Basic on my Commodore 64 when I was 10. I played games on my Amiga that required constantly switching out, and I'm not kidding, 17 3" floppies. I've heard what Wing Commander sounds like through an IBM's internal beep speaker. I spent an entire week setting up a boot shell for Windows 95 so…

Pfff...

My last experience with a PC game. Was at Walmart at midnight, so the Gamestop across the way was open and remembered Fallout New Vegas was coming out that night. Went in and bought it for my laptop. Went home, and put the disk into install. Steam? Okay...make a Steam account, though...you know, I had the physical…

Everything is okay, or nothing's okay.

So...on my 720p television they'll exactly the same?

Well, they did, because the gun you see Ford shooting is an actual Mauser pistol with some bits glued on it. Just like the Stormtrooper rifles are Sterling submachine guns with the stock removed and the heat shield replaced with fins. That's why the blaster shots in the original series had a substance to them. On the…

Media mass is a satire website that has a bunch of pre-written articles and replaces the names with whoever is currently being searched for. The idea is that if you are searching to find out if someone is dead or not, then if it isn't up on all the big sites, it's a rumor and they probably aren't. Also, it gets clicks.

The Journal's statement of scope:
