Bobby Kotick is the devil.

No other explanation is needed.

They're stamped on there legitimately.

For a while there, you couldn't go a week without seeing one story or another about some "UL certified" device blowing up... because the UL stamp was fake.

They had me nodding through that statement... The arguments being at least semi-reasonable. Right up until the last bit.

How does an opt-out system make things -less- secure?

Massive amount of obvious (but believable) self-interest, spoiled by trying to put a security spin on it that is total BS.

Initially, that's all she asked for.

She wanted $20k to cover past and future medical bills. $10,500 for what she'd already incurred, $2500 for future costs, and $5000 for loss of income. The other 2k, I'm guessing, covers pain and suffering.

McDonalds refused to pay out more than $800.

So it went to court. There, it came out that McDs was serving the coffee at 180-190 degrees F. Which is -way- hotter than it needs to be. That causes third degree burns in just a handful of seconds.

McDs had hundreds of complaints about the coffee being too hot, for years.

The punitive fine of $2.7 million was set by the jury based off of "two days coffee profit" for McDonalds.

Yes, the judge reduced it to $640k (total), and it was eventually settled for less than that. (Sealed, but reported as "under 600k". That tells me somewhere in the neighborhood of 550-575k, otherwise they would have reported a smaller number.)

Penicillin for Android next?

To help with mono infections?

(Yes, I know penicillin doesn't work on real world mono. It's a joke.)

It's the seeds of life left by the Great Old Ones.

But those are the slower, weaker brain cells. Killing them off makes the brain more efficient.

It will have one or more of the following issues:

* It will be defective by design from day one.
* It will be easily disabled remotely.
* MS will share some way to detect it with advertisers, who will then add functionality which refuses to display a page until you disable it.
* It will have one or more security holes, allowing compromise of PII.
* It will be dropped, at the last minute, from the release.

...a pinch of oregano, 'cause you know a little goes a long way.

Does anyone -seriously- think that if Assange were locked up / killed / whatever, that this sort of thing would stop?

While he's more than "just a public face" in this issue, it isn't like Wikileaks would die with him, or that some successor wouldn't be spawned.

In short, dogs made man, what he is today.

What, not able to use commas properly?

Is the gene variant they've found in him that has never been found in any other vertebrate.

Ok, maybe not more important, be definately more interesting.

RABBIT SEASON!

I don't quite understand how anyone can stay a Christian after reading the Bible. It's badly written Jesus fan-fic, co-authored by Abraham Z. Brite and Moses Pacione. I'd call it slash-fic, except there isn't enough sex in it.
