Totally off topic, but is the Dewey Decimal system headed for obsolescence? With information now easily able to be stored, reproduced, and distributed electronically, you don't need to access a particular work by tracking down that one spot on that one shelf. Google is indexing the entire Internet, and that's just

I ambushed YOU with a cup of coffee!!

My understanding is that the Stuxnet worm that disrupted the Iranian uranium enrichment program was specifically designed to attack devices that were never directly Internet-connected. The attack was successful, although its discovery and resulting publicity were likely not intended.

I couldn't agree more!

Shot in the dark here, but…does this '77 Celica have a Star Wars-themed custom paint job?

I find every episode of Frontline to be depressing.  It's like choosing to swallow the Red Pill, but you don't get to become The One and do a bunch of cool stuff and save everyone.  You just get to see how awful life really is for people in different countries, or different economic classes, or for yourself, for

I'm so very curious about the perspective of this other person, this "big haired girl"; …did her friends console her by telling her, "oh, honey, he probably barfed all over your number, that's why he didn't call you"?

Okay, so a little late here (and a tiny bit wounded that nobody thought to reference me when this subject came up, unlike when the etsy ban on Jayne hats brought about repeated calls for comment from The Hero of Akron-Canton), but yes, this is my go-to film when people ask me about my favorite.  I remember seeing it

To all here, but especially @avclub-e463f97ca6bc46b1ba706474e108c7e1:disqus , I would highly recommend  Prisoner of Trebekistan, by Bob Harris.  He details his preparation for appearing on Jeopardy, including making his living room into a mock Jeopardy set, and honing his clicker timing by practicing with a ball-point

Oh, I got it….

Oh, I got it….

Yes.

I was put off by the previews for this show, so last night's episodes were my first.  I actually barked out a laugh when I figured out that the random-looking vehicle number on the rear door of the armored car was 481516.  I was a fan of Lost, but I didn't realize at the time the connection(s) between the creative

I wouldn't mind sucking her chest wounds, knowwhatimean?

Yeah, me neither, but now that you've pointed it out, it actually is kind of annoying.

Font nerds are the worst.  And for you font nerds out there, yes, I mean typeface nerds.  Keep in mind that I just finished reading Just My Type .

"Saving throw"?  Kudos to @avclub-7cf8d5b2bafa3bd7fb4ea254febf6308:disqus for sneaking in a Dungeons & Dragons reference. I liked it because (a) I got it, and (b) it came up organically….

That sentence caught my attention too.  It felt like a Chuck Norris Facts reference.

@avclub-4d86ec6eaf978827e29d6adc4a7c83e9:disqus has a good point—the radio-show format is easy and flexible.  @avclub-c54f5f8a49b7aaa610854a9a20092414:disqus is also spot on—I realized only just now that "Shakopee" has "pee" right in the name!
