Douglas Adams, right again.
"It was an Ident-i-Eeze, and was a very naughty and silly thing for Harl to have lying around in his wallet, though it was perfectly understandable. There were so many different ways in which you were required to provide absolute proof of your identity these days that life could easily become extremely tiresome just from that factor alone, never mind the deeper existential problems of trying to function as a coherent consciousness in an epistemologically ambiguous physical universe. Just look at cash point machines, for instance. Queues of people standing around waiting to have their fingerprints read, their retinas scanned, bits of skin scraped from the nape of the neck and undergoing instant (or nearly instant --- a good six or seven seconds in tedious reality) genetic analysis, then having to answer trick questions about members of their family they didn't even remember they had, and about their recorded preferences for tablecloth colours. And that was just to get a bit of spare cash for the weekend. If you were trying to raise a loan for a jetcar, sign a missile treaty or pay an entire restaurant bill things could get really trying.
Hence the Ident-i-Eeze. This encoded every single piece of information about you, your body and your life into one all- purpose machine-readable card that you could then carry around in your wallet, and therefore represented technology's greatest triumph to date over both itself and plain common sense.

tell that to the 175 cases. the attitude that "measles is not a concern in this country" will only ensure that rates triple again next year and the year after.
it's "entertaining" and "fun" to watch kids come down with the measles? what the fuck is wrong with you?
racism, ladies and gentlemen.
i'm wondering what the gain is to surgically removing your sense of human compassion. the universe is not itself a caring entity? no shit. doesn't mean people shouldn't be.
haha thumbs up
yeah but dude your stance in favor of EXECUTION as punishment for MUGGING is not justifiable to anyone with a shred of human decency. get a grip.
you seem to have missed the point. try reading it again.
the WORST offenders take twice as long as their estimate? you know some pretty good programmers!
Nobody's asking you to trust Kickstarter (to do anything other than show proposals and track donations).
YOU are responsible for evaluating whether you think a particular campaign is trustworthy or worth donating to. Some succeed and some fail (and I don't mean fail to secure funding). Kickstarter is not vouching for the success of these campaigns and doesn't pretend to. It's hooking up people with ideas with people willing to donate.
you seem to be operating under the mistaken impression that Kickstarter is an online store.
not sure how calling out the Pope makes him an asshole. More power to him.
burnt steak?? blasphemy!
From the childish notion that immense intellect would manifest as gaming skill to the baffling assumption that being a real-life fighter pilot would have any bearing whatsoever on playing a 2d side scroller. Sounds like the perfect kind of imbecile to be impressed with Sid Meier hype.
