Most TLAs are a "caesar cypher" away from most other TLAs. (The obvious exception being ones with repeated letters, like BBC -> SSL)

Then it shouldn't be hard to find somebody who's noted them.

Yeah, I probably simplified too much there. Honestly, I almost posted anon; I didn't think it was a particularly good comment of mine.

Seriously, googling "python lmdb" shows up only documentation and lmdb blog updates on the first few pages, and also a link to this slashdot article. I don't see anybody interested in it or singing its praises.

It's okay that your pet project isn't wikipedia-noteworthy yet. Concentrate on your evangelism (like, get at least one person who isn't you to write about it), and then try submitting again once you have some sources to cite.

Because it's not about reducing kids born to unmarried mothers, it's about not forcing kids to be born to mothers that don't feel they can adequately provide for their children (or just plain don't want them).

It's about being born into poverty, not about whether the mom wears a ring.

Fair Tax isn't fair, and it isn't right.

If you want fair, you go with Basic Income. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B...

You literally just give a certain amount of money to everyone, every year. You combine this with wealth taxes, such that whoever owns the most, pays the most. Thus, every single human being can afford to live with dignity, there's no "poverty trap" where your means-tested assistance cuts out, and the system will constantly rebalance money from those with much to those with little.

If the rich are truly rich due to their own hard work and innate talents, then they will have no problem maintaining a higher standard of living than those that are poor. While those who are simply born into money but have no real "merit" will gradually sink to a more appropriate level.

It's a bit hard to "only tax the first 200 gallons of gas" - how do you propose we do that? 200 gallons per credit card? Per license plate? Per social security number?

That's... certainly a thing you can say.

Less charitably, I might say "Your preexisting faith in the supernatural hinders your ability to comprehend the natural."

"Doubled" doesn't mean much, when it's one afternoon every three years.

But y'all didn't hold GameSpot's feet to the fire over Kane&Lynch. You whinged a little bit, and threatened to boycott GameSpot, but really nothing happened.

Apparently a journalist mentioning a game written by somebody he knows is much worse than, you know, a triple-A studio buying positive reviews. And the appropriate response is to attack the developer, and not the journalist.

Nah, the entire point is just to play and laugh your ass off. Skating games are actually (nominally) about doing cool tricks and racking up points, and less about "oh my god I blew up this gas station and launched through a house!"

Brianna Wu: *retweets meme*
GamerGaters: *dox her, send multiple violent rape & death threats*

Man, what a double standard those SJW's have, calling the latter "harrassment" and not the former! It's clear that they're of the same scope and intensity, right?

That's why y'all are harassing the women, and not the corrupt journalists, right? The entire movement has been spearheaded by misogynists from the very beginning.

But you don't even use a mouse!

Oh no, I really enjoyed the Halo series (stopped playing after Reach, so I can't say after that), don't get me wrong. I didn't really object to anything about lady characterization, Cortana was pretty cool. But the linear gameplay, lack of story-altering choices and focus on your skill at shooting baddies are a turnoff to a lot of ladies, especially those who don't have experience with the shooter genre. It rewards a skill-set that is mainly possessed by the "core" gamer crowd (men below 25 or so), and if you don't have that skill-set there's not a whole lot to enjoy about the game.

I did really appreciate the option to play as a lady Spartan in multiplayer (not in the first, but starting with Halo 2?), that was pretty cool.
