Canada seems like the go-to spot for finding discontinued yummies.

Everyone’s relationship is different.  Sometimes my partner and I travel together.  Sometimes we don’t.  We don’t feel the need to constantly be all up in each other’s shit.

Nabisco used to sell “Bacon Thins” in the US. They always sat on the grocery store shelf next to “Chicken in a Biskit” crackers. They were heavenly. I was seriously bummed when they were discontinued.

That said, if the Coen Brothers stop making movies, I will be far more upset about that than I would be if Quentin Tarantino retired.

Well there’s something I never knew I wanted desperately.

I can deal with AA, but I’d rather pull the hairs out of my sack one at a time than fly Spirit.

The distinction mattered when they switched, because I had customers calling me up and bitching that the drive I sold them wasn’t the size advertised. I can tell you pretty much exactly when it happened (around the time we switched from MFM/RLL drives to IDE).

That’s the whole point.  Forgetting the stupid “gibibytes” term for a minute...the OS that I use to store things on the drive uses base 2.  ANY OS uses base 2.  Computers run on binary, right?  So why ON EARTH would you want drive storage listed in base 10?  It’s deliberately misleading.

No. You wouldn’t be able to spend private money, either. That’s the whole point. Level playing field.

This guy gets it.

NIST can say what it likes, but before they recommended that, and BEFORE your first hard drive, drive manufacturers switched measuring systems, more or less without telling anybody.  And frankly, I think NIST is full of shit, here.  Literally EVERY other system in a computer is using base 2; to use base 10 ONLY for…

There’s nothing honest about that.

Until campaign finance is fixed, the bribery never ends, and nothing else is truly fixable.

Just as soon as storage manufacturers start being honest about the size of the devices they sell.

Yes. And when they do so in a very shitty fashion, they’re going to get called out for it. Or are you insisting that the press should not be allowed to do so?

Ah yes, the type who has a “killer” idea for the next xpac and doesn’t understand why AB doesn’t it seriously.  Probably featuring something where <insert Horde Warchief of the Day’s name> comes up with a device that magically dissolves the clothing of all females in WoW.

Found the ActivisionBlizzard exec.

IT IS DELIGHTFUL!!!

Fair enough!
