Would 1986 really have a "seasoned Silicon Valley venture capitalist"?

This was the ONE line on all of AVC that you missed the snark?

Vader is the Wolverine of the SWCU

Living in Munich…

Can we stop the snarky "Ringo is a lesser Beatle" bullcrap already? It's a cheap dig from smug pricks who don't understand his talent.

Chewbacca Mom did this all wrong. It was cute at first, and when that first bundle of gifts arrived at her door, yeah ok. But when the gifts kept coming—and in obscene quantities—she seemed to laugh more and TAKE more. She should have instantly donated the lot to whatever charity, or asked the companies to donate…

Yeah, the C64 was a real computer, it deserved a dedicated monitor like the 1702, not hooked up with crappy RF interference to a tv, slumming it like an Atari.

Idiot Henry was looking for the ubiquitous "RF Modulator", that every den tv had in the 80s. Henry will never fuck.

I actually had Roger Rabbit in mind typing the above. :)
The crucial difference, of course, is Toon Town is integral to the plot and themes of the movie. With RP1, remove the pop culture references, and the story is exactly the same.

Prediction: Leading up to the film's release, the major selling point will be how Spielberg had the muscle to secure the rights to a disparate array of pop culture properties to make the movie work (as the story itself is really just in service of said references).

He wore dental inserts for the cheeks, does that count?

The gun looked like a Mauser c96—period accurate (more or less), and the basis for Han Solo's blaster :)

I have to rewatch the scene, but I'm pretty sure Winnie was using the space bar from the get go, and started exaggerating the gesture once she saw it was bothering Richard. She wasn't being deliberate until then.

Ok—what I said wasn't wholly accurate.
The indent/outdent combo will move the entire current line in or out one tab stop (regardless if tab char or spaces). If the line is "off" the stop by a space or so, it will align it, satisfying my column-aligning OCD :). But no, if you DO want to align off a tab stop, you gotta…

Your first asterisk is key. The debate isn't "tabs vs. spaces", it's "tabs vs. tabs AS spaces". Not only do proper code editors work this way, but even the fine-tuning you mention is doable without hitting the space bar, via the indent/outdent combo. For my part, I will personally start a project with spaced tabs, but…

My comment was New York vs. Boston snark. So with that in mind, yes :)

I know, and that's fine. This is a Boston thing :)

The only thing that offends me about the new Ghostbusters movie is that they filmed in Boston doubling as New York.

Even Clickhole wouldn't pair those two insipid headline trends together.

Yup, we did *hear* Mail Robot this week!
