@freakshowtime: G1, CyanogenMod 4.2.15.1

Doesn't work for me; it always says "No pending changes."

@Micho: the kind of person who works a night shift, maybe? Don't be so quick to judge.

I live a 10 minute walk away from my office. I typically get up at 7:30 so I have plenty of time before a 9-6 workday. I usually go to bed at about 1-2 AM.

@fotd_spectacular: the horror!

@chitowntrav: And librarians mostly hate you for that. (I'm married to one.)

You're not alone. I wish I had seen Avatar in 2D rather than 3D. I was really not blown away by the extra D and felt like I was enjoying the movie *despite* the technology... pretty much the opposite of what many others have said about it.

Shyness for me manifests in unwillingness to talk to people, even if I already know them. Coworkers I've seen every day for ten years, and so on.

On a quick scroll down the front page, I thought that was Dustbowl and this was a TF2 update post.

@Buddha916: I've never switched off prefetch, because it's a dumb move to do so. It's slow on both my old XP machine at home and my newish Vista 64 machine at work. Chrome is not.

These sorts of articles almost never mention startup time. In Windows at least, Chrome starts as quickly as Notepad, while Firefox is just painful.

@Petey-ed: did you even look at the link? The Congressional Budget Office is not the Huffington Post.

@Petey-ed: Right, because in the ceaseless debate for the last 16 months, absolutely NOBODY in the House or the Senate or the oval office thought about that, and it's not addressed in the bill at all. Good catch Petey-ed, you better go to Washington and warn them before it's too late.

<3 Valve. Their writing, even for things like blogs and marketing stuff, is just too awesome. I am a diehard TF2 and Portal fan.

Trader Joe's Greek yogurt is really relatively cheap.

@HurtsSoGood: 151 and Diet Pepsi! Granted, it helps to start drinking a lot of something else first.

@Kral2: what you're describing is SOME gamers. The majority of WoW players actually don't get beyond level... 12, I think it was? Something ridiculous like that.

Oh, I didn't know there was a "plague upon my existence" award at GDC now. Congrats, Farmville.

@Crashproof: In fact, I'm going to guess that TF2 uses the same skeleton for the Heavy and the Scout, as different as they are. Morphing buys you a lot of variation.

You don't actually need a separate skeleton for female characters unless you're trying to make Avatar or something. Different animations on the same basic biped skeleton are 99% good enough, and that's how almost every videogame ever handles it.
