And this is why the US justice system is completely screwed.

Please choose this one; I suspect he has something interesting to say about it.

Did they ever fix the texture issues on the Torchlight Linux client, or are you just running it through wine?

From my experience, Dota 2's Linux client is superior to HoN's (at least while using an AMD GPU). The developers of HoN also have a new MOBA in beta called Strife, and it also has a Linux client, though I haven't tried it out yet. I like HoN's hero movement more than Dota 2, and I still miss some heroes like Electrician, but overall I prefer Dota 2. It simply has a better matchmaking system, but I wish it would implement something like HoN's public game system. Plus none of my friends play HoN anymore, so Dota is where I have to go if I don't want to solo-queue.

I guess we've moved on from using "Libraries of Congress" as a unit of data size. I wonder how many "less than Wikipedia"s worth of data the NSA has?

Yeah, just like whoever writes the Dungeons and Dragons player handbooks!

In high school I worked at the service counter of a grocery store. The lottery ticket scanner was a touchscreen computer that was running Linux.

If you find out, please share it with the rest of us so we can also avoid the beta.

Zero. I have never heard a woman say that. I think the idea of the woman who says this is made up by men who have no other quality other than being "nice" and want someone to blame for their lack of romantic success.

I'll agree with you for the most part about Javascript, but I don't understand your disdain for Python, and also not sure why you think it's so hard to get rid of. From my experience, it's not all that widely used (and it's also very easy to use and not nearly as cludgy as Javascript).

What cities/neighborhoods have you been in?! I can't even recall any incident of something like that happening to me.

Exactly. Even if our entire understanding of science is wrong, there is at least value in teaching the scientific process.

I grew up in a fundamentalist Christian household, and while it took a while to shake off the emotional baggage associated with such an upbringing, I am now a productive member of society and opponent of creationism being taught on the tax payer's dollar. While one's beliefs are likely to be influenced by their parents', each individual still has the ability to form their own belief system, and I chose science and reason.

I don't believe that is exclusively an American problem.

Yes, everyone should share your misery. Good point.
