Wait, so sandwiches cost more if you get them to-go?

If they are worried the market isn't there, maybe they should try crowdfunding it? Start off with just the first episode. If that succeeds, go on to the next X episodes or maybe the rest of the season, and keep repeating until either people lose interest in funding the remastering or you complete all 7 seasons.

Yes-ish. Thanks to the cap of 435 voting members, Wyoming's 1 representative is not the same as one of California's 53 representatives. But, the fix to that is to amend or repeal the Apportionment Act of 1911, not to change the Senate as so many people seem to want to do.

If someone wants to change how the number of House members is determined, shift some powers between the two chambers, or even shift all powers from the Senate to the House and abolish the Senate, I will listen to whatever arguments they have. But anyone who wants to turn the Senate into a clone of the House clearly has no idea what they are talking about.

Apple will sell a charging pad that is conveniently shaped just like a phone case. Problem solved.

The French captain soon saw that the captain of the victorious vessel was a Spaniard, and that the other was a Dutch pirate, and the very same one who had robbed Candide. The immense plunder which this villain had amassed, was buried with him in the sea, and out of the whole only one sheep was saved.

"You see," said Candide to Martin, "that crime is sometimes punished. This rogue of a Dutch skipper has met with the fate he deserved."

"Yes," said Martin; "but why should the passengers be doomed also to destruction? God has punished the knave, and the devil has drowned the rest."

Candide, by Voltaire.

No you can't, you get a "you can't post to this page" message instead of a "sorry, anonymous posting has been turned off" message.

I guess the former could be story-dependent though.

It's not income, but it is like income for tax purposes. If I buy, say, a brand new top of the line camera on my credit card, and the credit card company says "you don't have to pay us back for that camera", it's like you just won a new camera in some kind of sweepstakes. And my understanding is that sweepstakes winners must pay taxes on the value of whatever they won.

But I am not a CPA or anything, I'm just expressing in different words what other people seem to be trying to say.

Well yeah, why do you think it is being reported as a "transformer explosion"? Do you not remember the documentaries? First you neuralize, then you invent an alternate explanation for whatever disaster is being cleaned up.

While not quite as long, I personally would like to see a new iPod Touch.

Well now, I guess the question then becomes, what makes an episode? Could they simply say that whatever they release is a combination episode 2-4? If not, could they simply add arbitrary break points in whatever they plan to release?

I'm sure that it will. I kinda skipped City Folk so I don't know how it handled saves, but New Leaf (at least the digital release) you effectively could not back up your save. I mean, nothing stopped you from copying the file, and as long as you never ever opened New Leaf again it was fine. But the moment you did that backup became useless. I don't know how it worked exactly, I guess there was some system value that got compared, and if the value on the save file did not match it was considered corrupt. And after a successful comparison, the save would be updated with a new value before you even did anything.

But that said, is that really any different from not being able to backup a save because it is on the cartridge?

This is slashdot, so it's actually more like owning a Rolls Royce Sweptail and calling it a Ford Fiesta.

Not enough information. How fast was the plane going? At what angle to the border did it crash? Into what kind of terrain did it crash? It's possible that the crash did not cause the plane to get lodged underground, meaning the survivors aren't buried at all. ;)

Have we really already forgotten how Burger King was using a commercial to trigger Google Home devices?

Then you better hope your jurisdiction is one which recognizes the fallibility of human memory.

I know you put it in quotes to indicate lying about forgetting it, but since it cannot be proven that you are lying about forgetting it, it doesn't really matter.
