I thought teachers were supposed to have at least decent handwriting skills?

You're talking about a document from the 1700s. Times change. Some would say it's more than worth opening said can of worms.

I have three opinions:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't iTunes/App Store/Etc. require it's users to be 13+ anyway? Could you not then argue that something on the app store couldn't possibly be targeted towards a user under 13?

Watching the HFR version made me think of piracy:

I wanted to see this movie specifically out of curiosity about HFR, and almost went to the IMAX version until I realized that one wasn't HFR at all. Only one of the three versions playing nearby was the proper 3D HFR version. There's like 6 versions of the movie released and only one of those 6 is HFR.

Just came back to this article after reading the articles on Gawker about the shooting. (I saw this article first and had no idea what prompted it).

"why all of sudden a rant?"

Maybe this is just my Canadian side speaking, but no. Just no.

Tons of arguments can be made against your point, and lots have been made already.

That only holds any value if web developers never stray from these standards themselves. A good browser will also gracefully handle deviations from the standard with reasonably predictable results.

You mean to say that's 'North America'. There's more than one country up here.

One or two people with a simple instrument, a small amount of talent and some time would make a listenable song. This "song" took 56 people and it still sounds like crap.

AT&T, assuming their rules haven't changed, doesn't require any sort of identification to flag a phone as stolen, but it doesn't "cancel" the line. Turning it back on is another story.

Did you really just blame the failure of an education system on teaching people how to write?

Here's how I see it:

Looks like the WingMan Rumblepad. I've got one about a foot away from me as I type this.

Based on the fact that this map used metal-archives.com as it's source, I wouldn't really call it "accurate", since a lot of bands on that site are inactive, unknown, broken up and reformed as different bands, etc., and a lot of the information on the site is out of date because nobody cared enough to update it. That…

Agreed, but (as much as I'm sure it wasn't the intention), placing the word 'transgender' in the title sets a sort of premise that the rest of the article is only important because of that fact.

Being someone who uses tube amps for guitar and bass, my first though is that the tubes might improve the sound of a signal that gets cranked passed the usual volume the system could have otherwise handled. The real warmth/added value of tubes is, IMHO, how they distort. "Clipped" distortion otherwise sounds…
