~60 for the game + ~50 for the service or DLC. Either way, they get about $110/yr, per customer, for a COD title now.

Couldn't help but laugh at that. I was about to say, "You'd think they'd find a better place for it." But I guess there's really no good place to put a whole finger (other than where it belongs).

Just as well. The last time I called HP someone that could barely manage the words in English called me (eagle scout, mason, all around decent guy, etc.) a thief and a liar. This was after waiting several months on a warrantied laptop repair and having had it returned with missing parts.

Not even remotely possible. :P

I drink a lot of coffee. I mean, enough that it's probably bad for me. So I tend to pay attention when I hear tips like these.

I have never, in my entire life, met anyone that doesn't rely on people around them as some form of crutch... if just to gauge the quality of their output. Getting judgmental with someone that acknowledges this and takes advantage of it to improve their productivity is disingenuous. And telling yourself otherwise is…

It's headache-inducing fruit wine that makes your hair fall out.

I wouldn't worry about it. It's just another defensive patent that would get torn up if they ever tried to use it against anyone.

I think he eventually ended up talking to her and such, after the mother had to raise her on welfare money. IIRC, he eventually lost a paternity suit or something and had to pay up.

Picturing Tron Disc Battle.

True. And it was an excellent, rational, well-considered read.

Yeah, it also sounded better than, "like father, like son".

Many buildings do have positive and negative pressures. I don't think it's a problem though, as with a gajillion data sources, you can factor for / filter out the outliers.

I have no problem with people doing what they want to their bodies. The flip side of that is, I also have no problem with other people pointing out that they're making objectively poor choices.

It's an oddity, but I must admit, the one on the remote is great for those of us that fidget. :)
