Ads are worthless if they’re not positioned in places with high visibility. I used to work on a site that put their ads in hard-to-see places, and we actually got banned by Google for a while (or Yahoo? I forget). I don’t know how much say advertisers have over ad visibility, but I wouldn’t pay for a site to put my…

I saw what you were doing in your original posts, and as someone who works in science, I think your methodology was pretty sound. Don’t listen to the triggered haters.

Hmm, only four good reasons. I don’t know, I was hoping for at least five or six to change my mind.

Yeah but it would plug into your laptop, so I don’t see how wireless makes grabbing-and-going better. The annoying thing about wired mouses is that the wire usually screws up your tracking, which is not an issue on a trackball.

Why would something that doesn’t move have to be wireless? What’s next, wireless TV? Wireless house?

Yeah.

Yeah.

They can make one version of a normal room that has a secret and program it to randomly place it once on the map. The secret can be random. Then they could do the same with other room types. This isn’t rocket science.

It’s not too hard to imagine secrets working even in a procedurally generated map.

Where Everybody Knows Your Name

You can make this argument about anything, not just changing the gender flavor. Give us new, original stories, period. But no, Hollywood loves their remakes and will not stoop to being “creative.”

Why not just... Diana Jones? It’s right there.

That really is embarrassing. How dumb are you?

That image doesn’t prove your point whatsoever. It’s bad in China but not Japan, where this article took place. The mask is to prevent spreading germs. Nothing to do with smog in the slightest.

Wrong. As others have stated, it’s for not spreading germs. I thought this was common knowledge by now.

Em dashes used as punctuation are a crutch. They’re only appropriate in certain sloppy constructions where a semicolon or colon won’t suffice—for example, tying a complete thought to an incomplete thought, like this. If using an em dash is the only way to make your sentence work, then you should rewrite. Em dashes…

I don’t think the Brits spell “hear” as “here.” There are also a lot of grammar mistakes.

Nice try, but if there were any good defense of signatures, these companies wouldn’t be getting rid of them.

Back when I was a waiter (for a month), I thought it was so dumb that we made people sign bills after we gave their cards back to them. The process should have them sign while we have the card, and they only get it back once we compare the signatures and confirm it’s really them. If the signatures don’t match, we…

I’m sure we could remember a PIN using the space in our brains that people used to use for remembering phone numbers, or directions, or plans, etc.
