They're not really people anyway; they're just headcount.

About as much as you get eating an apple.

Sorry no. On my Nissan, to change the high-beam bulbs, you must first remove the fender liner, which uses single-use fasteners available only at the dealership. Low beams, it's just the battery or windshield washer reservoir, depending on the side.

That's the way Apple Computer typed the name and trademarked logo, Apple ][. Possibly the first known use of 133t-speak, and definitely pre-hipster. You are showing your lack of geek cred.

So, he's the new Automotive Editor for Fox News?

Homosexuality is no more a proclivity than skin color. I am as straight as they come, but I have lived a long time, been around a lot of gay people, and watched straight couples have kids grow up to be gay. It's not a choice. So, your statement boils down to more bullshit prejudice. There are gay people. There are gay seagulls and seals and penguins. It happens. Or,if you think that way, God made them and made them gay.

The "No True Scotsman" fallacy remains a fallacy.

The ACLU, which is usually excoriated as leftist, if not out-and-out commies, has frequently defended the rights of both neonazis and the KKK to be as publicly obnoxious as they choose. Over the border in Illinois, these leftists defended the rights of a bunch of Nazis to parade through a Jewish neighborhood in Skokie. Personally, I find GTA extremely objectionable, but I wouldn't keep them out of GenCon.

Same shit, different decade. Bob Jones University in South Carolina tried this crap in the 50s and 60s, saying their policy of discriminating against blacks and Asians was a divinely ordained part of their religion. According to Bob Jones, the Bible clearly told him that blacks were inferior to whites. This is the same bullshit argument. It will fall in the courts, and it will fail in the marketplace. In the meantime, GenCon, and everyone else should avoid spending money in Indiana.

I was being sarcastic here, since all of the things I listed are banned or heavily restricted in at least some US states. Most recently, the governor of Florida has prohibited state emplyees from using the phrase "climate change."

Next they'll outlaw talking about, researching, or planning for climate change, evolution, genetic research, and such. The poor sods had better move to America as quickly as possible.

Truly sad, even though we knew it was coming. He was one of the great writers of the English language with a wicked sense of humor and a keen eye for the human condition.

For a long time, I was pretty sure that Firefox's goal was to suck up all of the free memory space in the universe. It's better now, but they damn near succeeded there for a while.

Right. It's better when my moral standards are compromised. That way I only feel bad about it in the morning.

This will continue until the principals in the companies are either sent to jail, castrated, or both. Fines don't seem to work, in the rare cases where any are imposed.
