From the summary: "The battles in Battle of the Five Armies are deadly boring, bereft of suspense, excessively padded, and predictable to the point of being contemptuous of the audience."

That pretty much describes all 3 movies to a Tee.

Emacs user here. The only one in an office full of vi users. They and I have our config files set up so that indentation, etc all match, so when we open each other's code it's not all goofy looking.

I *can* use vi, I just prefer emacs, and I always have.

Marijuana. Is there anything it CAN'T do?

Exactly. If a workplace has "must wear tie" rule, then I assume they have a whole bunch of other stupid rules.

There a plenty of great self published author on Amazon.

that's just off the top of my head.

That's because streaming from Netflix or Amazon just works, on your TV, on your phone, on your computer.

BluRay often doesn't work, and when it doesn't work, it usually because of the DRM.

When DRM is invisible, people don't even realize it's there.

If the content of a videogame offends you, then don't buy it. If enough people don't buy offensive video games, people won't make offensive video games.

Telling other people "you should do this" or "you should not do that" only pisses them off and wastes your time.

Whut up, yo? Mostly moved to Twitter... You have an account... why don't I see you there much?

If it's going to run LeMans, then it'll have to last 24 hours. :)

Kidding aside, it's not unusual for a race car engine to get rebuilt / replaced after every race. Heck, F1 used to use different engines for qualifying and the race. The qualifying engines were so lightweight and high strung they only lasted 12 to 15 laps. (F1 races are around 60 laps, depending on the track)

" Look at that UID. You must be like, 35! Yuck, old people!"

I must be ancient.

Because you would drive your Land Rover in those conditions. People who can spend $1.3 mill for a car have a specific car for all kinds of weather.

McLaren makes super high end sports cars. You would not drive your McLaren in those conditions.

For example, the McLaren P1 *starts* at $1.3 million.

"About 1/3 of Canadian homes currently get mail delivered to their door" WHAT?

I'm an American, and I have always lived in a city or the suburbs. I guess I take to-my-door mail delivery as a basic human right. I thought all first world countries had this.

Wow. my mind is blown.

I can't fit 500+ printed books in my pocket. For me, that's the big deal right there. I have limited physical storage space in my house, and I read about 2 books a week.
