I follow 4 different gaming sites in RSS, at the very least scanning all headlines. This is the first I've heard of the sequel attempt. Given that, my guess is it failed through lack of effective promotion.

I could never get past what felt to me like really cheesy Western cliche dialoque. Totally ruined my ability to enjoy the show. I of course recognize that doesn't mean the show was "bad", just not for me.

yeah, it got to be that any instance of this would totally break my immersion

Ah, I wasn't aware that "vintage" absinthe had such little Thujone. Regarding ppm though, while you may not be able to experience a taste difference, in absinthe at the higher end of thujone content, this equates to about 2mg of thujone per 1.5 ounce shot. This may very well be enough to produce a qualitatively…

Those versions made for US import are different, and have barely trace amounts (if any at all) of what makes Absinthe what it is— the Thujone. US regs state there can be no more than 0-10 mg/kg of thujone, while the real stuff you can get in Europe has about 30-40 mg/kg

I wouldn't mind all of these fancy drinks if they just left out ingredients like all of those that are not whiskey. And then made it a double.

I'm pretty sure the series could have cut one full 1,000-page volume by simply excising every mention of braid-pulling. At least another 500 pages by doing the same to references about the wool-headed nature of men.

mine was "FIRST POST!"

I believe Sheldon's work here qualifies as prior art

See? This is why we need stronger intellectual property & patent laws. Humans were allowed to rip off the Neanderthals and now where are they? Extinct, that's where.

Not quite. Gravitational pull extends pretty much indefinitely, it's just very slight after a while. (Where "a while" is a few million km, at least for practical purposes when dealing with the Earth) So, for an object to not fall down due to Earth's gravity, it has to keep moving at a certain speed.

Or heartbroken over the decay of society, with government clampdowns on Powered humans.

Oh that lovable Lex & his zany antics, always getting into trouble with Superman having to bail him out.

In mid-2008 when— a year after the first iPhone— it was clear that the industry was going to be massively changed, Microsoft should have snatched up Blackberry. #yourwelcome

Forget replacements, I want additions. Ears all over me.

Those kids are damn lucky they're not in Japan. This is the exact type of shit the Japanese pay Italian brothers to violently stomp on.

Bastard! If you'd placed the first comma just a little further to the left, we could have had a $10 haswell laptop. Wait to screw up what could have been a great deal.

So, how did that conversation go?

It's using the JBIG2 compression standard. (The problem did not occur with TIFF) Basically, if a patch of pixels are considered sufficiently similar to another patch of pixels, the other set is thrown away. The first set is what the file contains, and is used to replace all of those thrown away. In this case, the…

Hmm.. free digital sub & automatic delivery to anyone with a kindle (or kindle app?) would make it the most subscribed paper in the U.S., maybe the world. Lot's could be done on the back of that.
