Hey that's the wrong Old Spice guy. It used to be the actor who used to play Chris Rock's dad on Everybody Hates Chris

I'm sick of seeing movies that have been "dumbed down" for the typical movie-goer. Inception is the first movie I'll have gone to see in a theatre since 2005. Just waiting until I have some cash to blow. (Seriously...one ticket costs more than a month's subscription to Netflix? No wonder sales are at an all time low.)

One of my favorite articles from You Are Not So Smart is on this subject.

@icy_one: Well that's exactly the thing Blizzard has to figure out. They say they don't tolerate this behavior, but are they taking any definitive action against the culprits? I really don't know, I don't play WoW - but the comments I read in this thread say no. So is it about the money? Maybe. Is it laziness? Maybe.

@icy_one: I realize banning the credit card doesn't kill the user's game access, but if you got banned from a game's forum, are you still going to play the game? Maybe, but these people are trolls, they're very petty.

This invokes memories of Pink Floyd's The Wall. You know that scene with the kids being herded into a meat grinder. Yep.

@icy_one: Although that's probably the solution I would take, I'm guessing Blizzard doesn't want to alienate revenue sources. They ban a user from the forum by their credit card and they've basically lost a customer.

I'll be interested to see how advanced of programming one can actually get with this software, can you insert code snippets in places, write external classes, etc. (Like Flash Pro). Running the SDK inside Eclipse has always been a huge mess, and I've been waiting for Google to release their own IDE.

@angstman: Hey man, I never said I didn't believe in manners. My parents raised me to be a gentleman——who quotes Futurama.

@angstman: I used to feel the same as you. Then I decided to fuck it and try to find a girl who actually likes me. I mean, why would I want to live with someone for the rest of my life who stifles my nerdy inside jokes and references?

@Alluvian: Yeah I know. I spent a whole 30 seconds trying to come up with a good one and all my attempts fell flat.

@tande04: That's because I like to cloak my comments in 30 layers of implied illogic and sarcasm. Also I'm on my third beer.

@fuzzybearsam: There are only two kinds of ads on Gizmodo, absurdly annoying, and ironic.

@sqlfanatic: You got that far with your thought and didn't turn it into a Yakov Smirnoff pun? I don't know whether to applaud you or cry.

@tande04: Right, and Sync is a gigantic hands-free (among other things.) The article implied that the new DND feature would stave off inevitable fines - when there were really none to be had anyway because the very nature of the Sync system prevents such penalties.

How the hell would a police officer enforce the no-cellular rule when everything is hands-free through your car's HUD? Are they going to pull everybody over who looks like they're singing in the car too?

@Spikette: That Castle opening scene was hilarious. "It's been five years, don't you think it's time to move on?"

@Walking Eye!: Two reasons I started watching V: Morena Baccarin and Alan Tudyk. Tudyk got killed off early and I was sad. By the end of this season I started to seriously wish the show would get canceled so as to stave off my Morena addiction.
