I don’t have a dog in this fight, but this whole thing strikes me as weird. Activision was satisfied back in the day, and I have a hard time believing a teenager in 1982 would have been able to fake a Polaroid (which I seem to recall was the preferred form of proof for Sega high scores in their magazine later on).

This controversy always confused me a bit. The outcome of the game is deterministic, not random, so there really should be a definitive way to say what is and is not possible.

He should’ve just sold it to Steve McQueen. At least he would’ve kept it in good condition instead of driven into the dirt by some guy’s wife, just so he can brag about telling McQueen to take a hike.

They reference the daily mail of all places

You know that things have changed around here when Steve McQueen is referred to as a notorious dirtbag by a member of the editorial staff.

Err, what’s passive aggressiveness about this? My complaint is only in the writers incorrect choice of words. Your being paid, not winning something.

I mean, you aren’t “winning” you’re being paid for referrals in free gear. Most companies give you cash or discounts, but free stuff is nice too.

That’s alot to ask. From what I gather, the interface refresh was required for the speed (much of it is controlled via .css, and a huge part of the speed boost was in the .css engine). Granted, they do move little things around alot, which seems unnecessary.

Sorry to break it to you, but the Firefox engineering team didn’t use your own personal preferences as their bible. Ridiculous, I know.

Or a pedestrian?

He was traveling down a dark road in the squad car with the lights and sirens on at 114 mph when, suddenly, a deer leapt out from the side of the road. There was no time to stop.

This is a dumb formula for an argument: “You shouldn’t use X to complain about Y when X was created by Y.”
You used that formula, and it was dumb. QED.

ESPN routinely airs coverage of actual people in tiny panties.

Yep. Looking for a new house ... HOA is an absolute deal-breaker. Lived with one and had to move my trailer, which was well kept and behind the house, because of that one bitch that had to work to see it behind the house. So glad to be out of that house.

You’re kidding, right? This has got to be a troll.

The guy has one ofthe nicest, cleanest garages I’ve ever seen AND he would invite me over to help with whatever I needed done to my car? I would take a neighbor like that in a hot minute!

I’m not going to lie, Jalopnik membership not withstanding, I would rather an amateur auto shop than nosy religious zealot assholes any day. It really doesn’t matter what you are into, those are the kinds of people that make neighborhoods awful and negatively impact property values long-term.

Community typically grows…

Serious? WTF are you doing on this website?

Then don’t move to a rural area. Stay in your shitty urban apartment instead, thank you very much. I have a neighbor kinda like Williams. He’s retired, in his 80's, and is the one NICE local resident in the neighborhood. I even let him park cars along my property because he IS a nice guy, and knows more about cars…

Then live in a neighborhood with zoning or HOA regulations that ban amateur auto shops. It’s not difficult to figure that out.
