DISQUS

Definitely gotten that email/call before. Thanks, dad!

Except for the fact that Ustream doesn't acutally let anyone broadcast, of course.

It's BUCK naked, god damn it. I want to strangle the first idiot that got everyone else started with BUTT naked.

Her membership in La Raza doesn't concern you? You can't admit that this candidate is not controversial. She was nominated for one reason and one reason only, she's a minority. No other reason. She has a rather large number of decisions that are overturned by the supreme court. She makes statements that are pantently false as to who makes the law in this country (it's not the courts), and she's a member of a semi-extremist organization that does not believe in immigration restraint along with other controversial agendas.

This is not someone who should be serving on the highest court in the land.

Maybe we should all just ignore her oddball opinions on how the laws should be interpreted differently by gender/race, and ignore her comments on where law is made.

I AGREE!!!! 2NDED!!!! DOWN WITH CAPS!!!

Sushi is a sandwich then - it's a handheld carbohydrate-bound concoction. Only rolls, of course.

$19? I'll buy twenty.

The real RMS doesn't use the words "Open Source". "Free Software" is his thing.

Man, I used to think like you, but now.... 60 points is the better part of a small veteran squad with triple flamers or meltas, something that will likely do much more damage than any of the pyschic powers.

The thing is about all the eamples....
-increase range of leadership: the best one, but only a 1 in 6 chance, and if I have enough psychers to stick them with troops, then possible I get this power on a troops squad with ld 7.
-Null psychic powers- against this unit. Honestly, my command squads don't usually get hit with a lot of psychic powers/firepower, as they are generally not that much of a threat compared to my tanks, vets, and heavy weapons squads. The chance of this coming into play are quite remote. Besides, you can always take an allied Inquisitor with psychic hood...
-D3 str 3 power weapon attacks... - on a WS 2 guy with a 5+ save. This is not at all goo.
-An anti-tank troop? - No, this is a haywire grenade. On ONE guy. Not worth 12 points.
- d6 shooting attacks? that''s a heavy d6 lasgun. For 60 points I can get 10 guys who are GUARANTEED to get 12 shots off in rapidfire range.

I'm sorry, but there's no disguising the fact that psykers are horribly overpriced and their powers weak.

And I've gone the route of the Honorifica and Force Weapon, and it is still weak. Anything you would want to wound with a force weapon is either going to be a: so tough that it's hard to wound with str3, or b: much faster than you and will probably kill the psyker first.

I love the idea, but the execution is so very, very wanting.

60 points! That's 5 rough riders with str5 init 5 power weapons.

Sorry to be so harsh, but I speak from someone who loved the idea when I read the codex and tried and tried to make it work, only to abandon it in despair...

Yeah, acting as the conductor on Thomas the Tank Engine kids' cartoon series was really a highlight!

forgot to include "remove old system restore" entries.

So he had a change of heart. Big deal.
Perhaps this comment will be removed by that guy that loves to slate Obama.

All those pics and not one shown with it on someone's ear??!!

Happy Birthday + congrats on the new job. You might want to consider rewording this sentence, though... ;)

"Some really killer stuff, too, including interviews with my first girlfriend, Xbox Live’s Larry Hryb.."

Takes the fun out of actually stopping and interacting with a real, live human being.

Who knows, you could have to stop and actually talk with people. Real people. Not computers.

This is one aspect of modern technology I don't like. The aspect of the "person" is largely gone these days. It started back in the early 90s.

I remember back in the 70s and early 80s when I was but a lad. Kids actually went outside and played with each other. They played ball, went on hikes, went camping. These days, kids get all pissy and put out hits on their parents if they don't get 7 days a week on their xboxes. Whatever happened to actually seeing people face to face. People say they are busier now. That's not true. I'm no busier than I was 10 years ago, and I have a kid now. I spend time with my kid, go out, see movies, take walks (without gadgets).

Robert, gadgets are cool, but people are better. Learn a little French or German, or whatever before you go somewhere. Go a little Luddite every know and again. It's healthy. Try it.

I remember several months ago, Wil Wheaton wrote a post about getting off the grid for a whole week, with not even a cell phone. Robert, I challenge you to go one whole week with no devices. None. No cell phones, no Internet, no gadgets. Totally unjack yourself from the matrix. I think you would be pleasantly surprised at the results. Your comments would be a lot fresher at the end of any week you tried this.

Praying he makes it through.

I cannot wait until my mobile phone subscription with Sprint is over next summer.

I'm figuring out what to do when that time comes.

I'm not impressed with any of the players out there. I might go with one of the pay-as-you-go plans that require no contract, etc.

Skyblog is great, indeed.
Thanks for your article.

This sort of discussion always (without exception) generates a few "college is critical, I went to college and it made me the man I am today" comments, and a few "I didn't learn anything in college - or didn't go at all - and I'ld always employ someone who was self-taught rather than a sheep who went to college."

This only confirms one thing - if you want a job, your best chance of success comes from having the same background as the person who decides who to hire.

And for all the cry-baby whinging in the comments about "corporate sheep", we all seem happy enough to enjoy using computers that are designed and built by those people and are available at a low price (when compared, for example, to a 1980-era mainframe with all the computing power of a 2007-era wristwatch) due to the fact that large companies have economies of scale. If computers were only manufacturered by two guys in a garage who didn't want a big company with sheep doing the work then we wouldn't be here. Entrepreneurs with their startups are often vlaubale and useful, but it's incredibly arrogant to assume that noone else contributes anythign of value to society.

There are a lot of different career paths and what matters for one path is irrelevant for another. Apparantly the noble free-spirited entrepreneurs here are just as capable as the corporate 9-5 office workers when it comes to insulting people for their career choice.
