If "profits" are your only definition of success I think you may have a massive perspective problem.

Tell me, how many profits did NASA see with the moon landing program? And how much technology that we use all the time came out of that?

Nope. You need to take a ferry from Panama City to Colombia.

I'm only 31, I drive past the University of Washington here in Seattle, and cannot believe these children are old enough for college.

Someone's body being "developed" doesn't mean much, you can tell.

Bwa ha ha, asking Siri to Bing for him.

Could only have been better if they'd worked Google into that line as well.

I hope they show up and get Doug With High again.

Lemme just get a little bit famous first and be the third guest on that episode though.

You're very wrong, because if nobody speaks up about it there won't be any reason for the dirtbags who think they can get other people to work for them for free to stop doing it.

They missed "Queen"

I worked on the software for the media systems aboard Octopus (and Allen's mansions) while working for Vulcan Technologies.

Never did get to set foot on the vessel, though before I (and half the company) got laid off in 2009 there was talk of sending me to France for a few weeks to work on systems installation in…

It wasn't just bad, it was fundamentally broken, and then they lied about it and the reasons for it for weeks until they were exposed as being liars.

Did you submit those applications to the Swedish Patent Office?

Apples and oranges, dude.

I don't blame you, any woman said those words to me and relationship is over immediately. Picky eater = boring human

Kirk, this was a great writeup. I wonder if you could also do similar for another beloved franchise whose ownership is apparently in just as murky a mess: Freespace.

You'll have to tell that to the restaurants in Hermosillo and La Paz I've been to that didn't have any corn tortillas in sight.

Your inability to Google (and clear lack of having traveled to various parts of Northern Mexico and Baja where corn tortillas are less common than flour) counters anything you might say here, but:

Yes, with modernization and shipping both corn and flour tortillas are now showing…

You don't honestly think that people so stupid so as to do any of these things (commonality: never being able to admit they are wrong) are even smart enough to recognize themselves in one of these stories, much less find these stories on the internet?

You're really stupid because the type of tortilla used depends on the area of Mexico you're talking about.

lol @ Acura being luxury cars

I'd love to know the answer to this, the XLR is a beautiful car and I occasionally see a silver one driving around Seattle.

I would have if it would keep her from getting killed.

True, but crazy-hateful doesn't always care about or think through consequences.
