Thanks for ruining the joke captain smartypants.

The purpose of a demonstration/event is to advertise a product and create interest in said product. There's a reason people say "sex sells," and commercials always have sexy, or at least attractive, actresses in them. Maybe you should do some research about advertising, specifically sex in advertising, before you call someone else a moron, moron.

This looks like it is exactly what was asked for. How is this not modded up?

Most App stores that are already out have both free items and pay items. The lack of pay items is the only thing keeping the Ubuntu Software Center from being called the Ubuntu App Store really. But if Ubuntu did start offering pay items through the Ubuntu Software Center, would that be so bad? More options in convenient places is a good thing. Similarly, more app stores can only give more options, not less, so that would be a good thing too. Or are you the type of person that WANTS to consume only what your Apple overlords tell you to? In other words, no one is forcing you to use every app store out there, and it doesn't make sense to want to limit thier existence.

The article mentions people that remove their friends if they like a particular candidate. That's actually pretty lame. If you remove me from your friends list for clicking some button on a social networking site, then you are an idiot douchebag asshole. After reading the summary and the article, I logged on to Facebook and immediately liked both Obama and Romney. Why did I do this?

Because Fuck You. That's why.

Three!

Except you can't really start talking about solutions to anything until you identify the actual cause of your problem. Recognizing that gender bias is caused by men and women alike is the first step in the problem solving process.

That's a very specific, contrived, and useless definition for free speech you have there.

My biggest gripe with ads except that they are intrusive is the technology used to deliver the ads to your browser. The ad-servers are usually extremely slow to serve up the ads and they use a multitude of client side javascripts to do "nifty things" in your browser that makes it slow to a crawl while consuming 100% cpu. On top of that you they also load up the pages with all kind of tracking pixels, cookies whatever that makes your web-experience even slower.

I started playing about a month before 2013 came out and so far I haven't seen many of the cards you describe. Maybe I haven't noticed because I didn't know they existed, I don't know. Luckily, those sets are going bye-bye in October anyway.

Too bad it fails at the "stuff that matters" part. (Just being snarky. I find the article interesting actually.)

That sounds like it could be flavor text on a magic card . .

Yup, I should have rtfa before I replied (below). For completeness, the card text of Mirror Gallery is simply: The "legend rule" doesn't apply.

That's one of the reasons for the 2 year set rotation. Only the last 2 years worth of cards are allowed in standard play. (There's also the obvious reason of requiring people to buy more cards.) There haven't been any cards with poison counters in at least the last 2 expansions (that's when I started paying attention to the game) and I'm pretty sure there's none in the upcoming one either. The developers try new and different things to try to keep the game fresh and interesting to long time players, and it seems to be hit and miss. I think they've been fairly decent at hitting, but poison counters are a good example of a miss, afaic.

The cards are now called "legendary creature" or "legendary land" etc. The cards have creature names or land names, but their type is legendary creature. You can have more than one legendary card in play, but not more than one with the same name. It's a slightly different rule, but your point is still valid. You cannot have 3 "Legendary Creature - Teysa, Orzhov Scion" cards in play at the same time. As soon as the second card is played, both the first and second card go bye-bye.
