@blyan is not on fire: Yeah…we figured that people would just think we were being stupid, as Yoda's still alive in Episode IV, so he obviously couldn't die in II. But, sadly, we forgot to take into account that to some kids, the prequels were all of the Star Wars they'd ever seen.

@blyan is not on fire: I have a bit of a shameful one. After my friends and I saw Episode II (not trying to start a Trekkie vs Star Wars battle here, I'm a fan of both. So let's leave the movie out of it), we walked out of the theatre, and there was a line of people to see the 3 AM or so show.

@MaximKat: Wow. I didn't know it was that new of a law. Those bastards. I figured it was just part of defacing currency, which I've always been told is a federal offense (though I've honestly never looked into it).

@MaximKat: Separating metals isn't that complex. Especially not when you're already melting them down. Different metals (like zinc and copper) have different densities, so when you melt them, one of them will naturally rise above the other. Then you can simply skim it off the top, and voila! You've separated them.

@Emperor_was_a_jerk: Read second comment.

Utah FTW!

@mruler360: Ah, but iPhones also only get upgrades once per year. Android phones (the high-end ones) are almost all updated to a major upgrade (not always the newest) within a year of their release. This list up there is kind of BS, because it's just saying that the manufacturer hasn't announced when or if they'll…

@Aaron Crabtree: Also, the time frame from release of (mid- or high-end) phone to when they get a major OS update is almost always less than 1 year. In other words, it's LESS THAN the window you get when you're dealing with the former 2nd place, now 3rd place (in the US, soon to be global) mobile OS. From release of…

Here's the thing about OS updates: the people who care about having the latest firmware - or even know what a firmware is - already have it, regardless of their phone. Ok, so this is not an absolute, but still; the only reason my friends who have Android even know what Froyo is - or even that it existed before their…

@PrincessButtercups: Ah, yup, that would make that the more likely meaning then.

@junior ghoul: Because you don't live in Utah? Which means you're very lucky.

@Pvt. Jackass: $.15?

@thorsky: Fuck you mother fucker? Or does it have some other meaning?

@PrincessButtercups: It doesn't take a great deal of intelligence to realize that the Yankees suck.

@Zinger314: Either that judge was having fun playing along, or I'm gonna have to call fake.

Good luck proving $150 million in damages. In fact, good luck proving $150 in damages.

@RacecarBoobTat: Now that I've seen your Flickr, I have to ask: Can I have your life?

This reminds me of a conversation I had in my research methods class today, about the average student in a fellow psych major's (who is a computer science minor) CS classes. And about how she has a ring of empty desks around her because they're all afraid to sit next to her.

@junior ghoul: The other day, I was at a movie, and the music playing before the credits (just the theatre's logo w/ music) sounded oddly familiar. I couldn't figure out where.

@Aaron Crabtree: Well, kind of catch your own mistake.
