Quite simply, this doesn't work (like most revenge), because those other people don't hold the same values that you do - they talk loudly and show up late because they don't think those are important. You doing the same is just petty, and annoying to everyone else around you, while not getting any sort of point across…

Or, you could make it even better by using some actual decent coffee. ;)

Sorry, but in the case of guac (avocados in general) and sour cream, I just don't like the taste, even the good stuff. Sour cream I actually like in cooking and baking in the right amounts, but not straight. Same goes for cilantro, mustard, and a few other things - often good in a recipe if not overdone, but not…

I kind of agree with you on the first two (I can tolerate them), but on the last if you aren't ruling out beans all together, you may just never have had good refried beans. Canned crap used at a lot of restaurants are nasty, but I've been to a few mexican restaurants that make really amazing refried beans. Same story…

Even if the article is misleading, even if the crappy tasting fake sweeteners aren't going to kill you outright, drinking diet or normal soda is still and always has been knowingly bad for your appetite patterns, and also dehydrates you due to caffeine and excessive salt content. It not only doesn't satisfy your…

Because if it wasn't chained it would definitely walk, but if it's chained poorly, it might walk 1% of the time. it's human psychology at work - any barrier, no matter how stupid is enough to dissuade most people from taking the effort, it's just a question of whether you care beyond that. Obviously these people didn't

The whole point of my comment is that it's a half truth. It's not that apple is cornering the new tech market, but that apple invests the money to put a number of new and old technologies together in a specially designed package then produce custom parts in mass quantity (which effectively locks others out of those…

While I would agree that this may be part of the thought pattern of their tactics, I don't think it's strictly true. All of the technology used in the iPhone and iPad was based on standard manufactured components and chipsets aside from the processor and screen. The processor was a variety of an existing component…

ooh, I've been looking for angled stands big enough for the desktop speakers I have rigged on my computer for a while, and since they can actually vibrate the desk at times, a little vibration reduction might actually be a good thing. Thanks :)

Why does everyone think it's a bad thing - if anything, I'm glad, because the live integration was a big part of what I like about GFWL games - easy multiplayer, achievements, seeing friend on XBL, etc.. As long as they don't kill the games or abandon developers, it could be a good thing, making sure people who…

As a friend of mine was just reminding me, bans in Texas due to fire risk means no fireworks in some areas unless you already have a stash. :)

All I know is that after watching that clip, I really respect most shock games for not being as gross as they were in SNES days. As we get further down the path of the uncanny valley, that just gets really, really wrong.

Not really trying to be a smart-ass, but the game isn't an isometric - isometric games are the old snes style angle down look without perspective, like in CAD drawings:

Are we sure this isn't a container store elfa commercial? :)

Even with dense, there is just way too much padding around the edges. For something that's meant to be like an app it's annoying. Also, red for "compose" is a major design flaw, as anyone who's done color theory can tell you. Bright red carries strong meaning, and it certainly isn't "write a new email". :) It looks…

That's what I was thinking, the last generation at least (the new ones are more rounded). Just needs the front port on the bottom.

Wow, that's really obnoxious - especially since Xenoblade's already been translated (It's not like we yanks can't tollerate a brit accent if the game's good - heck BBC English beats Hollywood Valley Girl English most days). Just change the label and ship a few thousand, see what happens, not exactly a huge investment.

Start by not running "to lose weight". Run (and do other exercise) to stay fit, feel better throughout your day, and probably live a little longer. Same goes for eating better - it's not about losing weight, it's about feeling better and being healthier because you aren't just eating crap all the time, and paying for…

"12-speed cat wiring"? I realize it's in the original listings, but I think you could have left that out for sanity's sake. :)

Conspicuously missing from this design, room for any stuff (unless you want to try to compress it in you bathroom, which could be... interesting. Also, might have some trouble with terrain of any sort— including pot holes and speed bumps :)
