Meandering off to ramblemutterstan is a great counter-argument.

Funny how any APU will kick the ass of an i3...

That a million times. Buying books has become a horribly tedious chore, because I have to filter through so much shit.

I think it will be WONDERFUL for everybody. The authors that are dumping trash because self-publishing lets them will stop getting paid for trash. Maybe it will convince them to stop writing (for a very loose definition of "writing") entirely, and I'll actually be able to buy books without spending hours filtering through the moron word spewers.

So yet another major version number and they still haven't bothered to add the many arrow (and other directional) symbols that have been missing...

...says the NC...

All the people who rent servers must have those one-way ethernet cables (http://tech.slashdot.org/story/15/02/10/0257227/10k-ethernet-cable-claims-audio-fidelity-if-youre-stupid-enough-to-buy-it) then, so that the internet can access the servers but the servers can't access the internet...

It's a great business model. I quite like the nice printed books of artwork and stories I got with older games. Reading that stuff in a PDF is damn boring. Give me a dead tree, please (but remember to plant a replacement).

ISP: Internet Service Provider. They connect your machine to the internet. WTF do you think server hosting companies do, you nitwit?

It is. Just some months ago, flooding from Hurricane Sandy caused massive devastation at the same time as drought was (and still is) devastating parts of California. Apparently this Church of Warminetics knows what they're talking about; you should stop fighting and join them :)

ISPs get plenty of money from spammers. Ever heard of Ecatel?

There are perfectly good shielded ethernet cables that only cost twice as much (e.g. $4 instead of $2).

Take your measly coax and get off my lawn. This here is real audio cable: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E...

It's called "suspension of disbelief". When things get ridiculously illogical even with the alternate physics in whatever universe the movie is in and _character_s start acting ridiculously out of _character_, it becomes less entertaining and more groaning in pain as brain cells commit suicide.

Sheeple killed the "died-in-the-wool audiophile".
