Looking at the article, I see nothing that could have been a switch statement. The only else-ifs I see are in the Spacing section, and they need to check if a value is less than or greater than, something that can't be done with a switch.

Exactly! For example: http://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Your-Own-Gym/dp/0345528581/ Not that I would necessarily recommend working out at the office, but spend 30 minutes after you get off work doing some pushups or crunches at home. Then you're energetic for the rest of the night.

Unfortunately in the US at least, that's on a state by state basis, with the minority actually letting you separate work projects from out of work projects.

First let's do a sanity check. Have you ever seen an image in slashdot comments?

There's a particular nasty level of service you can expect from major delivery companies... Signature From Adult Required

I don't think this is too much of a problem for WoW, since you can always start up an alt that's a different class/faction. (And of course hours and hours of grinding on one of your max level characters)

My own terrifying experience: having to solve transistor circuits to decode the numbers on my alarm clock before the big final.

Not necessarily the mechanical quality, but the relative cost has kept my pencil from being carelessly lost. I check that it's nearby more than I check for my wallet or phone.

My mechanical pencil of choice is the Pentel Graph Gear 1000. Well worth the money, the one I have now has lasted me over 3 years, which is not bad compared to other pencils/pens that would have clips snap off or otherwise get lost within a year.

Gemesis ( http://gemesis.com/ is where I got my fiancee's diamond several months ago. I have nothing but good things to say about them, especially about their customer service. There are a handful of other places though, however the only one I can recall is Apollo Diamonds, which was bought around the start of the year, I assume for industrial use. Shoot me an email if you'd like to know more.

I hate to say it, but I have to agree with part this. An expensive controller kept me from buying a second controller for my Wii for well over 2 years (the price of a brand new game once you add in the nunchuk!).

Are you trying to get your spouse to let you pull the trigger on the Reaper minis Kickstarter?

Surely enough games are released each year or two that you could chunk it up like that and only allow comparisons in that range.

I was thinking about this yesterday when I was looking through CmdrTaco's reddit AMA. If we wanted a truly fair system, couldn't we just do relational ratings? (It would probably be too much work server side, but it sure sounds good in my mind.) Have each reviewer rate a game in comparison to another game. Portal 1 better than 18 Wheels of Steel. Team Fortress 2 better than Data Jammers: FastForward. With enough people, everything would end up somewhere on the scale and it wouldn't all be squashed up towards the top half that it is now for half decent games.
