Also, asking "Do you want my advice?" or "Do you want to know what I think?" isn't really a fair way to gauge if the speaker is seeking input, because at that point you've put them on the spot and they feel pressured to say yes. (This may not be true when it's someone you know well, who'd be perfectly comfortable…

It was the stretch in the front (and the implications for what they were struggling to contain) that interested me more.

Currently, Hong is appearing on three different variety shows as well as a radio program—there's also this bit about him coming out of gaming retirement.

I think it's a poor idea to say that all rewards should be given to the group.

Yes, that's true, EMC and NetApp do RAID in software... on dedicated storage systems, where the CPU is present solely for that purpose! That's like saying, "Cisco routers run their network stack in software!" Well, duh, of course they do, because that's the only piece of software a router runs. An EMC or NetApp box is…

Timely:

I guess "common in Rome" sort of explains it, the way my ancestors breed. Though, with the birth rate in Italy at an all-time low, hopefully they'll be a little more likely to use stunt babies instead of their own offspring. Those things are getting valuable not completely worthless!

From now on, maybe he should stick to sleeping under the Blue Whale.

Huh. These people have clearly spent a LOT of time playing the Monkey Island games.

Not that that's a bad thing! A good chunk of my second and third decades went to those games, and I turned out great! Juuuuuust GREAT!

Poor guy. That's kind of a bummer. Must be a really quiet environment, though. I've seen replacement cooling fans for the Wii on some modder sites, including some that claim to be "Whisper" fans. Perhaps those are quieter?

*sigh* Sorry, this is totally off-topic, but: Dammit, Kotaku. I get that it's your color scheme and all, but using the followed-link color (very nearly) for your hyperlinks is just frickin' annoying.

Well, damn! I mean, to make a mistake THAT big, you'd have to have some sort of brain-da— ...Oh. Bravo. Well played, Marino.

I definitely agree that the lower end of the Android spectrum has come a long way since the early days, when a "budget" Android phone was most useful as a lightning rod for frustration and rage.

ISTR from my short time living in Pasadena (this is almost 20 years ago, tho) that CA is also one of the states that requires your security deposit be held in an interest-bearing account, and that it be returned along with the earned interest, at lease-end. Yes?

Untested as I'm on my desktop (and don't own an iOS device), but the following should work as it does exactly as you described, eliminates the prompt() call in favor of always calling replace() with "lastpass" as its second argument.

...You have a Command key on your mobile device? (See the article title.)

Wikipedia is one of the uglier sites on the internet and it's often difficult to read longer articles.

I disagree. The very existence of lmgtfy.com seems ample proof that there are, and will always be, legions of people who just can't be bothered to do anything for themselves.
