The guy's only rival is the pope for most influential person of the year, period.

Why would they orient the screen so the student has to look down at it? That would cause some serious neck pain. It's not a 2 kilo text book, it's a wall. Orient it with some ergonomics in mind. If anything, the enemy's gate is down.

Mod parent up.

"... expansion.... cutting many skills for all classes...."

I purchased a lifetime subscription to this game in 2005/6 when it came out.

I left when the great BALROG slayer (not to mention Watcher slayer, Undead Dragon slayer, etc.) was asked to pick up sticks in the first zone of the second expansion.

I'm glad I left when I did.

Next announcement on friday... 09/27/2013.

Nine-Twenty-Seven
All divisible by three
Half-Life Three confirmed

Haiku confirmed. 2013 is divisible by 3 as well... but I couldn't fit it in verse.

Is that why bitcoins are up 20%? Some day I'll jump through all the hoops to pick some up... some day....

I guess what I'm saying is that we need a series of phrases in our lexicon to describe levels of kill above 4. To that end, I have set up the following table:
1 = single murder
2 = double murder
3-7 = crowd murder
8-15 scrum murder
16-40 bus sized murder
and so on.

I'd continue, but I'm not sure where throng should start.

Destruction is a pretty heavy term. Mass destruction should be set aside for around the tens of thousands dead / hundreds of thousands injured level, or hundreds of millions to billions of dollars in damage level.

This is what I would call moderate destruction, if only to account for injuries. The monetary damages do not warrant even a moderate rating. (Ignoring the insane medical bills due to our shitty healthcare system[Getting one leg amputated probably costs you the other one.])

but I guess we call it mass murder at the 4 person mark in the US... so whatever. I guess by that standard it did cause destruction en masse.

There's too much Nvidia love in this thread.

Just installed a 7850; it rules, and for 180 bucks I got it and 3 games. The fan casing was a quarter inch too long for my case before I took tin snips to it.

I'll keep buying AMD if only to promote competition in my favorite market.

If you haven't yet figured out that you know absolutely nothing, you really haven't learned very much at all.

Well BMO, if we did all that, then we should still feel bad for cutting into it.

Pain, love, virtue... all brain chemistry.

When every user on using your service has 5 strikes in a week... enforcement of this will drop off really fast.

I will certainly be wardrivetorrenting when this drops.

Q: Sup?
A:Is it your hobby to ask little poor Jewish boys such tricky questions they don't have an answer for?


Obvious robot is obvious.

Robots only do what you program them specifically to do, and poorly at that.

We are orders of complexity away from having our robots understand what a human is while also touching our data while also interacting with us on a direct level.

Side note: A patent troll would have to be pretty pro to get all this under 1 roof.

Julian Assange thrown into gitmo might be just the spark we need. It'd be a huge uproar.

'D suck for him tho.
