Comment Not gonna happen... (Score 1) 127

As the only owner of highly trained squirrels in the country I've had bad experiences working with Californian law enforcement and refuse to do business with them again.

They can try to get some squirrel worker visas from India or the Philippines, but the paperwork is absolutely atrocious and the squirrels only speak broken english. I wish them the best though.

And if you had any doubt this is Steve Jobs' yacht, there are seven 27-inch iMacs in the wheelhouse.

Why yes I do. I doubt any egocentric billionaire could afford one of those $1800 27-inch iMacs, much less seven of them. Good lord, such opulence!

Can we just check to see if the virtual machine drivers are already installed in this universe?

I find that having a good understanding of computers and technology really helps when trying to understanding the universe. There's a lot of comparisons to be made and metaphors to facilitate understanding.

For instance, say the universe was was a car...

...in fourth grade. I couldn't really use my right hand much due to the obtrusiveness of the cast, so I didn't.

Using only my left hand with either a standard or a turbo SNES controller I beat Super Metroid in about 9 hours (Yes that's somewhat of a long time, but it was my first playthrough)

I'm STILL proud of that today. I think you need to look at what areas you can simplify the use of the controller, and perhaps change up a few games if your arm isn't usable.

I admit I'm not familiar with the case and didn't read more than the summary, but even in an instance where someone breaks into someone else's network shouldn't it still be considered copyright infringement and not stealing when the original owner isn't being deprived of something?
Forgive my ignorance.

Comment I like this kind of progress. (Score 1) 56

While it may lack in variety, I often prefer to spend what little time I do have to play games in skirmish offline or against bots. I find that better than dealing with most of the bullshit online. Yeah I know your counterargument, if I spent more time finding good players or servers it isn't really a problem. I just don't want to. Bots don't go berserk or disconnect or lack (albeit often predictable once you've played a game enough) skills, or any of the other usual multiplayer complaints.
