You can like it or not as you will, but there is no "main plot" as such. Readers who think the story is about the restoration of the Stark family are mistaken. The series takes delight in shredding their hopes everything ending in a big Stark family-hug. Jaime Lannister is just as important (and arguably far more…

Yep, same here. The ones with working batteries are seldom set correctly. It's just jewelry to me.

The problem with the Wii was that it had little else. A handful of decent first-party titles that came out early in the Wii's lifespan then years of 3rd party shovelware. Most consoles have their fair share of crap, but overall get more and more good games as development matures. By then end of a consoles life,…

Hardware performance was definitely a problem with the Wii, but not the biggest one. It was the small number of great titles, Nintendo's abandonment of the platform after a couple years, and their willingness to let it become a shovelware ghetto that made it the last Nintendo product I will buy.

So instead of providing proper CAS to their tanks to begin with and having air cover to suppress rooftop RPGs, they created a whole new armored vehicle that will still be fighting them from below?

Watch lust successfully aroused. I can't find any pricing or release date info, though.

This whole article is really just a refutation of one particular point that Lowery made: that Spotify's licensing deals with Labels are unfavorable compared to other services. It was a detail tangential to his

In 20 years, everybody looks equally stupid. We just can't see it today.

And I was thought it was those who point their fingers to decry hipsters who were the most pretentious. They are so certain of their own true uniqueness, of being untainted by any of the flaws of the hipsters they hate. They're like the crowd of people in Life of Brian saying "We're all individuals!"

I'm glad I'm not the only person who immediately read it that way.

An OS update isn't just about new marketing features, it's a shared set of libraries, it's a group of assumptions about how applications interact with a suite of I/O capabilities. It means a user who hasn't given Apple any money in 3+ years can still be assured that new apps will work and old ones can receive…

Whaddayamean no one will get it? That album was the pinnacle of an awesome band's career!

Nope, but the 3GS runs the latest OS version, which means anything sold in the App Store will be compatible.

iOS updates will usually support phones at least 3 years old. I know my old iPhone - a 3GS bought in 2009 - runs the latest version of iOS. Sure, it doesn't support all the features (Siri, Facetime, etc, etc.) that my 4S does, but I can be confident that anything bought in the App Store today will still run on it. …

By forcing uninsured people to buy medical insurance from a private insurer? Please explain how you think it works, 'cause you sound about as well informed as my dad on the subject.

I absolutely agree with your clarification. My aim was actually to sidestep those issues and simply argue that it's absurd to limit an adult individual's freedom in these matters, regardless of where one comes down in these matters. To those who say it is a matter of choice - and this is very much a claim of the…

But the whole idea of the governor was that he started out more like Rick. He doesn't need to look like a scumbag. He was a guy who had what it took to rally a group of people and lead them to build a community. It's just that he went off the rails at some point (probably because of his daughter).

I'm going to question the premise. Is law actually that male-dominated? Anecdotally, the lawyers I know are pretty evenly split, gender-wise, and I've never seen law listed with things like engineering that have real difficulty attracting women in numbers.

If you only think SL iCal looks better, then you haven't actually used it in Lion. iCal in Lion is terrible, from the way the calendar list opens, to the absence of the mini-month previews, to the horrible page turn when changing months. Apple has actively thwarted your ability to easily view information you want…

Absolutely. The problem of claiming it isn't a choice is that it sidesteps the question of whether we have the right to be treated equally under the law regardless of our choices. I'm not saying that people choose to be gay necessarily, but I have no problem with it should someone make that choice.
