It's not a sign of failure to say the game is finished with development.

Here's how: http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/i...

I just wish it were Ma Bell.

That's only four. Oxford Comma-Man, AWAaay!

Or every cooking show ever, where they chant "fat is flavor!" like a battle cry?

They'd be smart to reduce prices sooner unless they want people getting used to the taste of "honey sauce: 99% HFCS, flavored with real honey!"

Maybe kwijybo will make it into the dictionary soon, too. There's always hope.

Most people increase emissions as they age. Might I suggest trying Bean-No to start?

The ridiculous part isn't the security holes in beta software. It's that the article assumes beta software is "the latest updates" or that you can get it pre-installed when you buy the latest hardware.

Good thing Gollum didn't have one of these; he would have won the riddle game!

Damn. I'm in trouble then.

I can only speak for myself, but I think a lot of others may fall into the same category. Most everything I know about GG is spillover in slashdot discussions. I know there's accusations of journalistic impropriety, and accusations of misogyny, and a lot of harassment, and a huge heaping pile of arguments. But it's such a mess that I still don't even know what someone means when they say they're "anti-GG" for instance, because I don't know which side of which issue that actually means. And frankly, just based on the generally incoherent and overheated arguments that have spilled over here, I'd rather not investigate further.

I know I'm against harassment (of all kinds, against all types). I know I'm against unethical journalism. I'm also disinclined to insert myself into situations of histrionic drama where I'm unlikely to be able to make a difference. So I don't really know what sides of what parts of what sub-issues that puts me in relation to GG, and I don't care to find out. So I'm agnostic, or neutral, or maybe willfully ignorant of enough details to be able to say more. It doesn't seem such an unreasonable stance to take.

It's like those phone numbers where they use a word with more than 10 letters. The mnemonic can be extra long. Just fill in the blanks until you run out of blanks, whether that's 3, 4, or 6 of them. You definitely don't want to get caught with a mnemonic that's too short, or you're really in trouble.

Who really wins these lotteries? The advertising firms designing every new scratch off ticket. Every week there's another new "game" that has a million advertising spots on radio, TV, billboards, etc. If it were about income for the state (tax on the math challenged), then they'd just need a few scratch offs that never change style and a big lottery for the dreamers. There would be little to no need to advertise (or to have a hushed, sped-up voice admonish listeners to "play responsibly"). This is about funneling money to the advertisers, and using the advertisers to grab (or create) as many gambling addicts as they can get. That's a sick thing for government to do.

I'm trying to parse this in a way that isn't just a tautology. Wouldn't working until retirement age be the norm?
