Oh damn...allow me to retract my original statement.
reading comprehension: i fail it
i apologize for my stupidity. however this is the internet and thus, this is to be expected
I have mod points, but sadly there is no "+1 Owned Up" that I can bestow.
The only reason pirates pirate is because they can. They are blood suckers.
Now, I used to pirate, but I recently got a DMCA notice after torrenting HTTYD.
There's nothing worse than a reformed whore.
An ex-smoker.
Yup... it's always dangerous to try to be funny. The correcting comments, however, are often informative. Thanks!
BTW: I will bracket my silly and inaccurate comments with [JOKE][END JOKE] to provide more clarity.

That'll likely get you a +1 Informative.
And if there really was some kind of two-timing going on, the writer obviously did not have the sense to mention it in TFA for us. What joy in incompetence, yeah!?
Excerpts from the article
"After a couple of interviews, Gonzalez agreed to help the government so he could avoid prosecution
The two-timing is spelled out in just over the first page.
...fellow academicians from the same field.
Maybe you should improve your own command of the English language before blasting others about their writing skills...
academician
n.
1. An academic.
2. A member of an art, literary, or scientific academy or society.
I completely fail to see your point. Is it that academians would be more common? Or would you prefer academics? Since your familiar with English, you know that it's rife with synonyms, and that it different English regions spellings and word preferences can and do differ.
Mod Parent Up! Everything else is just chocomize.
My new catchphrase. It is the current trend, after all.
Christ. Stop saying 'ePeen'. It sounds retarded.
That's the point - he's characterizing the people who would buy the card, or upgrade a PC just for the performance stats, as having an idiotic desire to prove something meaningless.
I've never ever read such rubbish. will this discussion ever finish?

Bloody right - seen this? http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20100708/02510310122.shtml - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix "lost" $167 million.
I can't even begin to describe how much I hate Mass Effect 2's PC-as-a-second-thought interface. Mind you, the game is awesome, the scope is epic, the story is fantastic, the sound and visuals are breathtaking and the characters are all "real" but the console-like controls drive me nuts.
The ME2 interface annoyed the crap out of me on the PC. I picked up Xpadder (http://www.xpadder.com/, $10) and plugged in a controller, which took a lot of the sting out it. I find the console style interface easier to live with - or at least less irritating - while using a console controller, and the keyboard and mouse were handy when I wanted them, too.
Well, I eat my hat.
Do that often enough, and you'll be passing hat genes to the kiddos.
He meant "rapid unicorn" - slow unicorn is gamey and chewy.
