No, it was ~45% democrat and ~55% republican from what I've read.

I'm assuming you just don't want to see it, and I'd assume a lot of us use ublock:

Seems to be working for now.

No different than a lot of other sports or activities. It just takes different skills. Sure, sportsball takes actual IRL training, but that's no more real. Chess is similar, it's a made up battle.

As someone who's been on the competitive side of this, most people don't have the chops to compete at the highest level. Hell, I didn't, and I've been doing it forever.

There is nothing that you 'need' to buy other than access. I've played too long, but only on very rare occasions have I purchased anything else. And you can even pay for the monthly fee with in game currency if you're good at farming/earning that (though the expansions will still always cost IRL money).

The extras are all (that I've seen) cosmetics with little or no function in game except 'looking cool'. Mounts, pets, outfits, things like that. They're not cheap, but they're not at all needed or even helpful.

"The FTC estimates about 30 million people, or one in five American workers, from minimum wage earners to CEOs, are bound by noncompetes"

Somehow that seems like a vast overestimation

Read this years ago, and thought it was interesting at the time...I've saved the link for years. Really detailed story about finding a really complicated bug in MS Word way back in the day.

Obviously, it's okbecause if he did tell you he's an idiot, he can't be an idiot since he told you up front that he was. But if he didn't tell you he's an idiot, then he certainly is an idiot.

What happened was they tried to go online more, and Uru happened.

Wonderful graphics and levels, with online bits and pieces (I don't know if it was really multiplayer, but there was some social component to it). But all this before most internet connections were capable of dealing with it (5 minute load times for zoning between sections was a really serious deal breaker).

It died, hard, and I think that took the wind out of their sails for a bit. Not sure they ever recovered much after that.

(I was in the early beta and stuck with it pretty much through that, and it was never ready for prime time at all. Last I checked I was still listed in the credits, I'll have to check that again some time).

Seems to me like he wants people he likes (himself, liberals, etc.) to have total privacy to do whatever they want, but he wants people he doesn't like (republicans/conservatives) to be constantly recorded and harassed.

And BTW, that isn't remotely an American ideology.

Actually I think it's spelled Lake Forest. But my memory may be a little off, I mostly lived North OC / South LA.

I'm in the same boat latency-wise, but something I've wondered for a long time...

(sorry to derail the comedy)

If I've got such a clear signal, why does it consistently take 2-3 seconds for /. to serve up the page? It's always seemed rather slow responding to me, whether I was in Cali at home (DLS), or at work (mega-corp intranet), or now from home in FL (cable).

I know lots of reasons why this CAN happen, but since it's been the same for me for years, I figure there's got to be a good explanation for it.

My first thought was...after sitting down and discussing it with his 14 year old nephew, it must all have gone over Rodgers' head, and he didn't learn anything. Hey, next time let the kid write the legislation, leave it to the experts.

Dear Twitter:

Please comply with French law. If any of the bits you send out on the internet could be in any way construed as hateful to any kind of person who might be a French citizen, please make sure those bits don't arrive in France. But all the other bits are fine, keep 'em coming.

I'm going to submit this submission for the best example of 'comparing apples to oranges'.

I'll assume the submitter knew nothing about the Google situation in this case, or should I think it's just a bad troll?
