So this guy, Zicree, saved sliders? Or at least, that's what they claim in the kickstarter video.
In that case I have little trust in the quality of this kickstarter project. Sliders pretty much went to shit in the season Zicree came on board.

Only $87k, it's nothing compared to other virtual insurances like the US Dollar or the Euro.

Ah yes, New Super Mario Bros. Nintendo really fucked up on that one. It's a game for a portable device, but allowing you to save after completing a single level is unlocked after defeating the end boss.
Also, 6 buttons available... but only 2 used and you have to use the touch screen to deploy your saved powerup.

Sure, if I'm a foreigner I might it means I probably entered the country by showing my passport. So they would probably know who I /was/. But because I'm changed my appearance drastically they would have a hard time to find me.
The people that looked a bit like the "old" me would probably have a more difficult life than me.

Early on, the Windows team explored an inch-based scaling system, but found out that bitmaps would look blurry when scaled to unpredictable sizes.

Really?! Who would have thought that.

Indeed. It's aol all over again. For someone that doesn't have a facebook account it becomes more and more difficult to access parts of the internet.

I don't like vegetables.

Weirdly, it's not true. On average the USA consumes way more cannabis than the Netherlands:

History class has been a while, but didn't the Europeans invent immigration and multi racial society before there even was a US of A?
