Welcome to 2012 graphical calculators, nice of you to finally join us!

Ahem. And Ubuntu seems to be the preferred target by Valve. So why does it matter that Windows 8 has an app store if Ubuntu has one too?

My day doesn't start until I've had a decent cup of tea. I don't think Britain could function without the stuff!

In the time taken to reply to me you could have found the relevant bit in the article and understood what they have claimed to achieved...

TFA is about use gold nanoparticles for delivery of any drug. What you have linked to is completely different, using the gold itself as a treatment.

Why mod this up? It is an uniformed post from someone trying to push their own project. If the parent read TFA then they would have realized that Rockbox has got results from the initial days of when it was on the Archos Jukebox players, and for most players is ahead of the proprietary firmware (especially for those who are fans of open standards such as ogg). Rockbox is sufficiently mature that support for it is a factor when I'm looking at mp3 players.

Damn it, that's the way round I intended!

I never say the complete opposite of what I mean.

Why not use probability average American will get killed in a car accident divided by probability they will be killed by a terrorist.

It gives a useful comparison, is verifiable and makes the danger level obvious to all.

Noun/Adjective inversion win!

Clicking through to the CNN article tells us:

So it's a way of hiding something in time, without anyone really knowing anything is being hidden.

But the appeal of games is they're not like real life. A game that emulated real life would be pretty boring (see also: The Sims).

I liked it most and played it most before any of the grinding! I've tolerated it since then, but with each new patch things seem to be getting more and more towards grind/pay.

You may be understimating just how long the grinding will take. 200 hours to get a random hat, of which there are 5, sound good to you? That's a lot of play time to get the one you want.

Well I guess I will not be playing TF2 again. Despite the 'it's optional defence' some of the items will give advantages. You can still get them all randomly, so it's a choice of grind or pay up. I think I'll do neither.
