@taoprophet420: Because there's probably a billion people still using XP they'd like to retain as customers.

No love for our worm friends, the Lekgolo? Or the other odd aliens from Halo, the Huragok?

@qbrad: I've heard that some European scanners basically do this, highlighting suspicious items over a stick figure but not displaying an image of the body.

@FrankN.Stein: Hush with your possible, logical answers! If it turns out to be a melanistic whatever, we won't be able to call it bhootbilli anymore. And I really like saying bhootbilli.

@waytogeaux: Every time I see a poster for 5nal, I know I'm getting my sharpie out to fix it for them.

@sayralouise: Yeah, that's right it was just the showers. Huh. Suppose I'm just used to correlating the location of the two.

@Erinaceus: I thought they had covered bathrooms in the first season?

@phosphorus: No. The insect only gets that large because there is a ton of oxygen (in this case, more than 30% vs. the normal 20%) in the atmosphere they used to breed it. I imagine that if you took it out of that enriched atmosphere, it would have a hard time getting enough oxygen to run its huge body. Might even…

So the bugs in Invertebrate are like, what, 90% trachea? How would their legs even support weight?

@coding_hero: Looks like a phone handset to me.

@Malcontent79: The 20's were the start of electric, portable hearing aids... Though most of them still had big old ear pieces that would probably benefit from being shoved against ones ear. But they did still make the 'ear trumpet' back then.

@Malcontent79: This is exactly what I was thinking. For serious, someone wants me to think we're going to send someone back in time with a cell phone? Or even a device that looks like a cell phone into the 1920's?

@Damob: Yeah, he's a hugely prolific writer. Averages more than a book a year since he got his first novel published.

@Damob: Man's gotta eat and writing only pays if you can sell what you write. I don't see why most writers wouldn't want to get their foot in the door while getting paid or worse, something they like to do. If it gets gamers to read more books, even better.

Some years back a friend of mine lit a pumpkin with a road flare. The effect, while brief, was very impressive but none of the pictures we took turned out. Unsurprisingly, the pumpkin did not survive.

@Beavertank: It has, but irradiated food has to be specifically marked and is still pretty rare.

@Tull: MS's profit is up two billion from 09 to 10... I think Win7 is already having a positive impact on their earnings.

@nERVEcenter: They have their clients best interest at heart... What do you think they are, socialists?

@Aklost: I don't think euthanasia means what you think it means.

I have met a few hipsters. I lump them into two distinct categories. Let us say there are the pure hipster: that is has this sort of hipster-centric view of the universe. He appears to do nothing other than scorn what he doesn't like and is concerned with the fact you saw that he have a pack of Parliaments and his…
