Comment Integrated v Fragmented (Score 4, Funny) 827

more fullscreen and Facebook in iPhoto, Audio editing and automatic trailers in iMovie, Rhythm correction and lessons in Garage Band

Why can't all this functionality be available through one integrated program instead of being fragmented over many sources?! The end user will get confused!

It was my understanding that the current torrent implementation is set because of the bottleneck at Blizz ISPs in LA and Dallas. I'm fairly sure about 3 years ago the LA ISP (ATT?) bombed locally for an hour or so right after a WoW patch was released. I am not sure how much of this is rumor but the use of torrents over direct DL access may not be entirely Blizzard's idea (fault?).

Some reptiles hibernate during the winter (Diamondback Rattlesnakes) while only 1 primate (Female Fat-tailed Dwarf Lemur) hibernates. If we are talking about temperate zones, I would think a reptile has a better chance of surviving a winter. Although, I guess it would depend on the actual species of Gorilla and/or reptile.

Skinner: Well, I was wrong; the lizards are a godsend.
Lisa: But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're overrun by lizards?
Skinner: No problem. We simply release wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards.
Lisa: But aren't the snakes even worse?
Skinner: Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla thrives on snake meat.
Lisa: But then we're stuck with gorillas!
Skinner: No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.
