Interesting seeing another poster from Cincinnati. I always felt, after travelling around the country some, that we have serious luxury in our home town, when it comes to merging and on ramps. It's amazing how long they were! I live out east, just north of Savannah, GA now. I miss our long on ramps... And I hate traffic circles. Not because I cannot use them, but it seems like no tourist here can.

Comment Re:High Average (Score 1) 96

I'm amazed at the high average donation this time around. IIRC the last few Humble Bundles I bought into had an average of around $2. At the time of writing the average on this bundle is $3.98. I guess these games offer pretty good value.

Depends on when you buy it in the bundle's lifecycle, too. I know the average for the last Bundle I bought (before this one) was like 4 or 5 when I purchased it. I was glad to drop 10 bucks on it at the time. This one? I had Uplink already, on disk. I'll GLADLY buy it again, get all the other things, and so on. And I got source code? Well freaking awesome. I'd say these Bundles are awesome. They're cheap enough I don't even blink, and they quite often offer much more than one would expect.

I got the one with Baird, Revenge of the Titans, etc in it before this. Just a tonne of fun. I don't play the games every day, but they scratch an itch when I feel like toying with them.

It becomes debatable whether "Facebook" can be classified as something productive, however... but I would agree with you. I cannot see how sitting, staring at a blank computer monitor is a good control. Perhaps browsing normal websites not pertaining to oneself, or reading email, would be a better control. You know. NORMAL activities.

He's pointing out how people misuse the phrase. I've seen people write out "for all intensive purposes" when people mean "for all intents and purposes". It's what happens when folks hear something, don't quite comprehend it, then decide they've got to use it, too.

Funny. News for Nerds.

When a rather large provider like this is shut down, I'm sure many nerds care, as they might actually be using their services. I don't, and I find this whole thing interesting, at the very least.

You have some kind of case against them, it looks like. Bad experience? Did they touch your dolly someplace bad? Chill out. You don't like it, move on.
