And a tiny 16GB of storage. For music lovers. You know, the kind who would use flac instead of mp3. Just saying

Amusing but false. A simple dictionary definition disproves your claim so I will need a reference from QI at the very least to believe otherwise.

Calling a penny a "UK cent" is an understandable slip, but your use of decimals and units seems to be spot on. Have you consider Verizon customer "care" as a career path?

Well... I actually meant compilation / executing code, but as it turns out: I've been playing with the xml dump of the dblp database recently. It's 1.5GB and loading it in vim (from SSD) still takes about a minute. Annoying enough that I've been using less to find records in it.

What kind of software do you use? I ask because I recently got two machines with SSD primary drives and the performance increase is staggering. One is a laptop for work, mainly uses a text editor and the terminal for compilation. The other is a games machine. In both cases noticeable delays from loading have vanished.

I would say that they are. Cities Skylines is not just better than Simcity - it is the nostalgic version of simcity that I remember from my childhood. It actually lives up to those inflated expectations. It is a huge improvement on everything that has come before it.

GTAV is proving to be a lot of fun, not just flashier graphics but the gameplay is a lot more satisfying. The cutscenes seem to have improved a lot as well, some of them have made me laugh out loud. Unusual for a game storyline. Farcry 4 was a lot of fun. Both focus on emergent gameplay a.k.a "dicking around to see what happens".

If you like strategy then the Paradox catalogue is well worth a look. Games of that depth didn't exist 20-30 years ago. CK2 and EU4 are a lot of fun to play, and very engrossing.

But the process that they followed is well-proven (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0326856/), just work on the idea, or as it is known "the actual invention" and then pass the rest off to the science guys to sort out.

Ok fair point, I updated my blog feed and saw that they have pulled it completely (from steam and all physical retail channels as well).

You seem to have a different definition of guaranteed. Normally when somebody offers a guarantee it means that they are confident enough that it works that they will cover your cost if it fails. That is exactly what has happened for buyers on steam. Are you using some other definition of "guarantee"?

And the answer is: is it a PS4?

What you have claimed is not true at all. Arkham Knight was not pulled from Steam - anybody who was unhappy with the crap they released could get their money back. No questions asked. So the guarantee that the OP claimed does exist on Steam. Either it works (to your personal satisfaction) or you get a full refund.

Remind me, which consoles let you do that?

That is almost a well designed experiment. For counter-balancing it should randomise when something is being transmitted, and not, independently of the light. That would collect data on all four conditions.

Sorry, I have to pick these things apart for a living and it gets difficult to stop sometimes.

Is it a whole biscuit? That is what the hordes of Indian sub-contractors beating down that particular door want to know. Personally I would want to know if they had negotiated hobnobs in their contract, or were stuck with rich tea.

So... basically the Compton Swap-Meet, syndicated all around the world.

Does anybody else read this as the Librarian?

That is completely unprofessional.

At most, it should be 5% horse cock porn so they have to look a bit harder to find it.
