Regional language differences are half the fun of English.

Being childlike is very different to being a child, and I'd much rather be in a relationship with a girl who was spontaneous, playful, innocent, happy and carefree than my old maths teacher. Back in the day my maths teacher was an intelligent women with the strength of personality to keep a room fu...

Apple makes good hardware at an excessive price. The security is actually lagging Windows now, unless the latest OSX introduced full ASLR.

The real problem with Apple is the insane control/censorship they exert over the app store. If you want to support anti competitive behaviour have fun with it.

Frank is right about not having any freedom at all if you can't complain about your boss at places which aren't work. Not a first amendment issue though. Its an industrial relations issue. Also, whistleblower laws don't do shit in any country I'm aware of. "Integrity is a laudable trait, as lon...

He actually has a decent point with that. As soon as the players can cast speak with dead the murderer has to take precautions against it, usually either ripping the mouth off or doing the whole ninja thing so that the corpse can't say who did it. We manage to have murder mysteries in real life des...

We like maths and we like arguing.

Its pretty funny that people are getting defensive about maths that proves 4e succeeded at the design goal of making first level characters tougher.

At this age you don't have to worry about binge drinking or being retarded while driving.

Not sure why its tinfoil hat. The people asking for less regulation stand to gain personally from it. Motive and capability, circumstantial evidence territory.

Cool, enjoy the easy part of parenthood.

I'm playing catch-up on some games I need to finish. I beat Prototype the other day. Need to pick Dead Space back up. I'm on the beginning of Chapter 7. Others on the TBP list: BlazBlue Bioshock 2 Dragon Age Fallout 3 I'm doing a catchup too now that WoW is raid only. I just got through Bioshock 2....

1. I like 4e.

We'll convince you that you hate every second of it one day.

cthulhu is correct. Describing an actual thing with attention to the selection criteria is how you get a job.

Try also to make it easy on the panelists, they actually hate and and find it nerve wracking. Ease the tension and they'll see you in a much more favourable light.

And why is ID okay in a science class? Simple. It's part of the history of science. ID is not a scientific theory widely accepted then disproved. Its a made up theory designed to engender false controversy so that it can be taught in S public schools. It therefore does not belong in a history of sc...

The whole point of an atheist education system is its the only way to let people make the personal choice of their beliefs. Unless the government violates the establishment clause and decides one religion happens to be right. That way lies religious persecution.

Try not being a dick. Think about saying less things that are solely intended to show off your radness/pump your ego.

Try less hard too.

You know, there are times I really feel sorry for you nowhere men.

Tzor, this is why you have no credibility.

Your anecdotal evidence is shitty and anecdotal.

Most of the time someone comes in with big new ideas, gets told the implementation price tag and goes "What the fuck? Really? 900 million dollars? You've got to be joking? You're not?" and then does one of the following two things A) Scraps the idea (Most of the time) B) Says "Pfft, ...

I want to vote for a person, not a party ... the party can go to hell as far as I am concerned! (And I say that as a committee man of a plotical party. I'm still working hard because I believe in the people I'm working for.) I want to vote for policies or at least policy direction. The people are s...

Most classes suck in their first iteration. They're in the rough draft phase, and that's fine. The problem is that Paizo only does two iterations: the rough draft, and the slightly-polished draft. Revision in writing is about ripping the guts out of a piece, rearranging its limbs, and adding new or...

The campaign rules were fiddly and obnoxious. Its a board game with shitloads of tokens, packing up mid game is clearly going to be painful so a campaign was always going to be rough. The actual game is a lot of fun although the anticlimatic endings thing is true. Think of trying to balance the fina...

Forums are an intentional broadcast system. Social networking is much narrower, particularly once you put personal information on there. Facebook does not support compartmentalising personal information enough to be used as a forum. Even if it did the format is poor for heavy text with frequent upda...

And plastic should be in all caps. Everything is plastic, without that we're fucked.

I hope not, those have a track record of ending up poorly.
