This is IKEA "furniture" we're talking about.
"Good enough" means the particle board interior starts falling apart in 3 months.
Have you actually owned IKEA furniture? I've had a set of shelves from there that have lasted me at least 6 years and two moves. They may have a lot of particle board furniture but it is well made for the materials involved.
The only beer that merits consumption at anything close to "cold" are the thin, watery excuses produced by the Big 3 breweries in the USA (Larry, Moe and Curly, AKA Miller, Bud and Coors) Real beer needs to be chilled nicely but served in the 45-55 degree range for the flavors to be enjoyed.
This is mostly true. There is actually a Guinness extra cold that is meant to be served cold. They even have special taps that serve it through a super cooler at 3.5C. So I would say that unless a beer is brewed to be enjoyed cold it probably is best served at the 45-55 range as stated.
I think I know why North American readers may never heard of it. (USA and Canada represent well over two-thirds of the population of industrialized anglophone countries.) From the article:

For some reason they never have demo parties like this in North America. Why is that?
In Atlanta, Ga a friend of mine did a cheese and demo party every year and showed a bunch of demoscene stuff from the past year. There was also a bunch of cheese tasting involved. That is the closest to a demoscene I've experienced in the states.
IE may be "cheapest" until you realize that Chrome makes the computer seem so much faster that you can skip an upgrade cycle. IE is dog slow, so are Firefox and Safari.
Well after a quick search online "dog slow" doesn't seem to be true. fastest browser tests According to that, which was done recently, IE9 is fastest on windows, with chrome/firefox tied. If you go by mac speeds then yes chrome wins out. At this point it is much more the UI experience and the particular plugins that get me to like one browser over another. So I stick with firefox.
Blizzard is actually the one company that I feel I can trust to keep the servers running for a lon gperiod of time, becuase they tend to stick with and support their games. They seem to have a corporate mindset that looks and plans in the long term, as opposed to most other publishers that just look to the next game and leave just a token force to maintain a previous game. That being said, I really enjoyed Diablo II, but after being disappointed with SC2, I do not expect to buy D3 any time soon.
I agree with this, but the problem now is that it isn't just Blizzard. Activision is in the picture and my trust in them is much lower. I somewhat want to play Diablo 3 but I doubt I will because of this.
In other words it would have been hard for me to find a set like the one I bough without 3d and that doesn't bother me too much. It was pretty cheap, imagine is nice. big enough.
everything is going to be cheaper in a year though. but this video? could have been one paragraph of text...
Tvs come with imagination now? I guess it is good that it has a big enough imagination too, wouldn't want a tv that couldn't imagine enough things. That has got to make watching them a bit odd. I agree that text would have sufficed, that is what imagination is for.
Are cyborgs safe from becoming zombies?
If so- I want all my body parts converted to artificial parts BEFORE the zombie apocalypse. Afterwards it would be too late.
Depends, I would assume that to still be a cyborg and not a robot you would need to have your brain intact. So even if everything else was converted you could still at least be zombified via the brain. Admittedly you might be immune because of the body being non-flesh but not completely.
In the Boston area, the best is Lanes and Games near Alewife T. 8 games in pristine condition. Not as beer-friendly as Flat Top, but damn good.
I agree, that place was great! It was also neat because of the candle pin bowling which I had never seen before.
G+ fits my desire for social-networking perfectly:...
Not for me nor my friends. Until G+ integrates with my Gmail calendar so I can organize events, it's a non-starter. Even friends of mine who hate FB have had to go back to it because all social activity and events are being planned and have invitations from there. I'm sort of surprised that it didn't launch with that feature as they already include non Gmail emails into circles so even nonG+ people could be included to events and respond.
This is the number one reason I have seen my tech friends still use fb. I still prefer g+ since I like the ease of circle use but I do wish a good event system would get going for use in g+.
Wow, nobody has posted yet. Apparently nobody cares about Google + enough to even try for a first post.
I know I've seen no incentive whatsoever to use Google+, and I have a gmail account that I've had for years which doesn't correspond to a real name -- so their whole "thou shalt have a real name" as an ID thing is a non-starter for me.
In all honesty, I'm not even sure of what Google + is meant to be used for, or why I'd even care.
This isn't true anymore. You can easily set up accounts or use accounts with not real names for google plus. admittedly this was a policy of theirs but it has been fixed.
I'm curious if anyone knows how it compares to the National Pinball Museum, recently reopened in Baltimore, MD.
There seem to be a few places like this now. There is the one in las vegas:
pinball hall of fame
The one in Baltimore you mentioned: national pinball museum
One I just found in California
The one the article mentions in Seattle
another I found in NJ
An article about several of these opening up around the country.
And if you are interested in playing I found a place in St. Louis CP Pinball.
Any other places people have found that are worth noting here?
With your bare hands?!?
