Well that’s a few dozen charges of kidnapping to lay at the airline’s feet :) How many bet they try to paper over the issue by giving away some airline bucks (TM) that can only be used on highly limited flights outside of any peak times or interesting destinations?

I’m gonna necro comments on this because someone has to say it: this feature sucks. It consistently tells me I’m “6 stops away” And then I watch the tracking show the truck ramble all around town making stops all over the place, for hours and hours.

It’s an interesting topic, one I think is really about expectations. The tech world, at least the big, enterprise level side of the tech world, absolutely has to handle expectations in a very deliberate fashion. Very large organizations have to know what’s going on, plan resources, etc. So you get product roadmaps…

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.

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.

Treat it like a new parent— don't offer up that the baby is ugly. "Oh, a baby!" is a nice general thing to say. For a game, perhaps something like "Wow, a game! Pixels too!"

You were (slightly) scammed— I almost missed it myself. At the bottom there is a small option/link to not have to download something. Very sneaky though.

No, radishes scream. That's why you can't get them live in the store and, incidentally, why they're red when you see them in stores— they've been parboiled before hand, turning them red, sort of like what happens with shellfish.

Well, I think we're just going to have to reasonably disagree on some of the aspects of this issue. It's okay though— Just because it's the internet doesn't mean we have to flame each other! Although, in case you insist on it as a proper ending, how about self-immolation: I'm an awful person, I probably have no…

My original point was simply meant to be that if your only criteria for classifying fakes was "I can't define it but I know it when I see it" then you are going to classify lots of people that others, with different views of what is & is not a fake, would be just fine with. E.g., someone plays videogames an average of…

Yep, overturned: It stopped individuals from using their own "I know it when I see it" gut decisions and instead gave three criteria that had to be met (you only cite the one that coincided to your view on this). The third of these criteria, that something lacks any "serious literary, artistic, political or scientific…

It is ridiculed because it shows that these types of value-laden judgments are very personal and subjective, with lines drawn arbitrarily and in different places for different people. One person's NYPD Blue episode (TV show from the 90's that showed a bare female butt) is just prime time TV while to another it's…

And that is a Supreme Court definition that is routinely ridiculed as the essence of gut & emotion based reasoning rather than sound, rational & legal reasoning on a subject. Even granting your reasoning on the "poser" aspect, in the "Geek" culture it seems as though only women are subjected to this accusation to the…

I use them for convenience— buy the games, sure, but have them all on one cartridge with bonus features too.

Now I want to wrap some brie in apricot preserves and crisp pastry while I level up my stomach size... mmm.... rpg grind.

I'm so confused. First there was cake, then it turns out the whole cake thing was just shattered dreams and broken promises, but now there is this...

Paypal shouldn't have to take on the risk themselves— that's not their business— unless that was part of the merchant agreement in place between them and the Skullgirls folks. That said, what is the risky part here? If the project has been funded and the "donation" period ended, then your money is gone and there's no…

As a society and a race, we need to get past this idea of people being either all good, or all bad, or all of whatever area of the spectrum they're on in between. Some people are real dicks about some things, and saints about others. Gates was ruthless as a business man and corporate leader. He doesn't need to have…
