This is probably also why programmers are predisposed to use the double-space at the end of each sentence, as they are used to working in monospace/fixed-width fonts all the time. I work as a tech writer, and it always drove me nuts going through their documentation and finding all the weird little double-spaces at…

Obviously, you've never been to Kenmore.

Was I the only one who saw this episode as a stealth "BRING BACK THE SONICS" campaign? The software mogul who was killed: Wally Walker (The Sonics' GM who oversaw their decline and eventual fall). The angel investor who hired the hitman: Don "Slick" Watts (One of the team's stars during their championship run in the…

I have only one thing to say to that:
SEBASTIAAAAAAAN!

Yeah, Financial Fair Play actually makes it kind of tricky, especially when combined with the threat of relegation. It's not enough to just have a rich ownership group (though that never hurts). You have to finance your player salary budget with your football-related earnings, which is hard to do if you are a…

Then your life is meaningless and there is nothing I can do for you.

If this means that we can somehow have Tasky and Deadpool team up, I'm all for it. I know that this is impossible due to rights issues, but if any character could break the fourth wall and adjust his contract status, it's Deadpool!

Oh, I have no complaint with Goldiblox on this. It's just the "pink is for girls" marketing strategy is just obnoxious.

It's one thing to mourn for actual small businesses that are forced out by newer disruptions, but I don't have any tears left to shed for the big boxes, who were destroying the local small businesses before Amazon showed up. Of course, with things like Etsy, independent merchants can still make decent money on their…

I have fallen into the habit of saying "Tiny Terry loves his pickles" whenever I pass the pickle aisle of the grocery store. To say that it raises some eyebrows is an understatement. I am only thankful that Mrs. ofNothing hates going grocery shopping with me, because I would never hear the end of it.

Boyle would probably give you an accurate assessment of your pumpkin pie's mouth-feel, as well. That came out wrong.

Movember has not been kind to our Watson.

No arguments here. Simply thinking about how the choice would be justified on their end.

During my time working for a mobile carrier that shall remain nameless, the thing that always bothered me was the way certain devices were marketed to women in the most condescending way possible. The stuff marketed to men was always sleek, black, and futuristic. The stuff marketed to women was slower, "easy to use",…

Yeah, I think maybe it would be better if they offered an array of colors, but I suspect that production limitations mean that their initial manufacturing output only has enough space to do one color. I'm willing to bet that after plenty of research, they found that the single most popular color was pink. Were I in…

It seems like the people behind Goldiblox want to do something good with their business, and I'm willing to grant them that. However, in order for them to be able to do that, they have to obtain some success as a business. This means they have to promote themselves. Hell, even if they were a completely non-profit…

They actually have. It's just that there's a fairly big difference between training for self-defense and being actually capable.

What I love about Chris is that he doesn't have a single ironic bone in his body. He says exactly what he means at all times, and is also unfailingly agreeable, even when he is at odds with someone.

Ninja Gaiden is a special case, though. The easy mode is only available after a few deaths, and ultimately accepting it is something the game will mock you for over the course of the rest of the game.

Moffat generally employs more narrative and visual invention, while Davies generally crafts more consistent characters. It's chocolate and peanut butter. When they combine, the results are amazing.
