It's not because those games were just particularly amazing, well-written, and well-constructed. It's because those were the games that we grew up with. Those of us in their 30s and early 40s are the ones currently dominating the industry, and we grew up playing King's Quest IV and Monkey Island and Loom and X-Wing etc. We have a fondness for those now because we were kids and those games were the world to us.

Same reason most of us love Voltron and hate Power Rangers, even though they're damn near the same thing.

That's a terrible analogy. North Korea could pretty easily launch a nuclear weapon right into downtown Seoul and kill half a million people while launching a war that will kill a million more.

They're not a threat to the US mainland, no. But they're a huge threat to South Korea.

That was an F-117, not a B-2.

I go to the gym and lift weights after work. On the weekends and some evenings I play tennis and racquetball or hike or ski.

I work at work. After work I exercise.

So... yeah. What do you do after work?

The biggest problem with cell phone cameras is that the pixels are small and not sensitive. HTC decided to go with fewer, bigger pixels that collect more light and are more sensitive. I'd much rather have a 4 MP picture with less grain and noise than an 8 MP picture with more grain and noise. After all, you only look at the pictures at around 2 MP max.

That stuff counts as a package. Anything more than 1/4" thick IIRC is no longer a "letter."

If you install no apps and turn data services off, an iPhone will last 4-5 days. I've done it.

That's the tradeoff.

Fixed lens means you can't take separate the lens from the body (sensor/viewfinder/electronics package).

Point and shoot cameras, even megazooms, are fixed-lens autofocus.

A fixed-focus camera is the kind on many phones and older webcams - there is no moving focus element.

Little known fact: the President is actually the head of the executive branch of government, which contains agencies such as the ATF and DOJ. And since he's the head of those departments he can set policy for those departments within the confines of their legislation!

Mind = blown right?

Suspect? You have no idea WTF you're talking about. I assume you're trolling.

This is not "shoehorning." The Surface Pro is a complete x86 computer in a tablet form factor. It runs Windows 8 - the exact same Windows 8 you get on a new desktop or laptop.

My PCs are fully backed up to my WHS every night. The WHS itself backs up nightly to a USB drive. The WHS backup, most of the WHS data, and PC backups are synced to another USB drive that lives in my office and comes home about once every two weeks.

The WHS data is backed up online to CrashPlan, except my movies, which are backed up to another external drive that lives at a friend's house.

I also have a bunch of stuff, mostly documents and notes, in Dropbox which is backed up online, to 4 different PCs, and is included in my nightly PC-to-WHS backups.

So every piece of data I have is backed up to three places, except the movies which are backed up to only two.

My high school gave 1 quality point for an honors class, 1.1 for a gifted class, and 1.15 for an AP class.

SAY WHAT AGAIN.

You mind if I have some of your tasty beverage to wash this down?

They are seasoned with salt and pepper at the time of grilling. They are considered an add-on, the way mayonnaise may be.

Here's the actual McDonald's ingredient statement:

"100% Beef Patty:100% Pure USDA Inspected Beef; No Fillers, No Extenders. Prepared with Grill Seasoning (Salt, Black Pepper)."

The patties are, literally, nothing but meat of adult cow.
