"...scamming the lottery...". I'm not sure how using your mind to find weaknesses in a system designed to separate the poor and gullible from their cash is a scam. Just as with card counting, there's nothing illegal about his system.

@TwistedChimp: Exactly, if anything, the past week has really diminished the influence of the MB domestically and internationally.

@Turbineguy - Minister of Awesome: And it would have to be a stoppie - her feet can't reach down.

@Roberto G.: Then you haven't seen many Harley owners, have you?

All of the iPad owners I know opted for the 3G model. Only one has activated her 3G service, the rest bought it just in case they might need it in a pinch.

@AMGkiller: Except that this company's investment in the 'ring was financed by the German government. Jalopnik published a letter from Mike Frison recently with a little more detail - [jalopnik.com]

Inflammable means flammable? What a country!

@GamerKT: Heart-click to you for a shared love of Fat Princess!

@Nexus6: You are not alone. That was one of those great, memorable moments that Treyarch regularly delivered in their CoD games.

Can you award GOTY solely on the basis of multiplayer merit? Because that's the only place that Black Ops shines and even there it's a subtle refinement with nothing new other than bot training. I'm not really a huge Halo fan, but Reach really did feel like a much more perfect advancement of Halo multiplayer. Black…

@marciax3: I love that some guy thought pretending to be a puppeteer and performance artist would put him into the "looks or money" category. Who knew?

Sir, I resemble that remark!

@Skydog: Middle-aged? Almost all of the 'vette drivers I see are past retirement age. They're well beyond middle-aged.

You're out of your element, Jesus.

@ircmaster: Netflix makes licensing agreements with distributors based on the targeted display devices. They have separate deals encompassing mobile devices, computers, and devices which will ultimately display on a standard TV. Allowing Netflix playback to jump between those would seem to cloud the agreements and…

@zebraphobe: No offense taken. I really depends on your work, but in my experience professional life is mostly comprised of pretending to be friends with people I'd just as soon not know, so the forced, insincere casualness of "cheers" is apt.

Cheers is good in most situations, because it's pleasant but doesn't commit to any particular change in status between the correspondents. I need to maintain friendly relationships for work, so regards is a little distant. I'm also careful about using "thank you" - I don't want people thinking that I feel the least…

@willyolio: That's impossible. It would never work without unicorn blood. Anyone who says different is a scam artist.

Good news. I love the Craig Bond: a brooding, violent alcoholic who is morally ambiguous (at best) without the tedious distraction of ridiculous gadgets at every turn. He's probably more like the original Fleming Bond than any except Connery in From Russia With Love.

@benfresh76: Then you are neither a straight woman nor a gay man because, in my experience, both groups are crazy about the guy. I don't know if he's pretty, but I don't doubt his ability to seduce.
