  1. I think it's just included in the contract boilerplate nowadays.
  2. No one believes the claims. It's still annoying though.
  3. Incomprehensible! Javascript is on top? CSS is still increasing? I'm a systems guy, not a developer, but wow.
  4. I heard good things about Stormbringer but never got a crack at it. I'd rather try that than play MERP again.
  5. I'm reminded of Snow Crash, where private LGs (or at least security) were the standard. Ng Security, Uncle Enzo, Mr. Lee's Greater Hong Kong, and others like them act as 'police' in the burbclaves.
  6. Old Man

    Mortal Gods

    There's also the mechanism posted in Gaiman's American Gods, where over time the old gods (e.g. Odin, Easter) are slowly phased out and replaced with new ones (Celebrity, Technology) as society evolves.
  7. This iguana fetish that Pariah has, is that still considered 'furry'? Since the iguana has no fur?
  8. How about if they undergo artificial combustion? I've got a gallon of gas in the garage, and a lighter.
  9. Why don't you go into great detail for him?
  10. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
  11. Watched Band of Brothers on Amazon. Great show. Ended slowly, but then, so did the war. Was watching The Last Kingdom on BBC for a bit. Surprisingly good and helped tide me over until Vikings and GoT crank up again in February and April, respectively.
  12. This will go down as one of the great gifts in history. Like the horse that was given to the people of Troy, or the blankets that the British gave to the Native Americans.
  13. I smell a lot better on the internet than in real life.
  14. That's better than Bezos would have given it.
  15. I watched the live stream yesterday as SpaceX stuck the landing of their first stage booster. It felt good.
  16. I think that's past "gaffe" and well into "faux pas".
  17. AIUI the teacher was working out of a workbook that was part of the approved curriculum, and the students were doing that exercise for every major religion. It only blew up when they got to Islam, of course.
