Yes, I fucking do think it'll suck less.

Small, cramped, hot, ugly.

How does this statement hold up against YAWS?

They seed their own torrent for the PDF.

They still sell well at $50 dollars, when the average cost of a RPG book is 20-40.

You need to research Eclipse Phase, the RPG.

Scratch that, your ignorance is startling.

Jesus.

So here's my solution:

  def state?(zip)
    zip_code_list = File.open('zips.txt')
    suggested_list = zip_code_list.grep(/(.*"#{zip}\d+".*)/)
  end

  [#][##][##]
  [State][County/Parish][Area]

  def state?(zip)
   case zip[0]
    when 0 then states = ['CT','MA','ME','NH','NJ','PR','RI','VT','VI','AE']
    when 1 then states = ['DE','NY','PA']
    when 2 then states = ['DC','MD','NC','SC','VA','WV']
    when 3 then states = ['AL','FL','GA','MS','TN','AA']
    when 4 then states = ['IN','KY','MI','OH']
    when 5 then states = ['IA','HN','MT','ND','SD','WI']
    when 6 then states = ['IL','KS','MO','NE']
    when 7 then states = ['AR','LA','OK','TX']
    when 8 then states = ['AZ','CO','ID','NM','NV','UT','WY']
    when 9 then states = ['AK','AS','CA','GU','HI','MH','FM','MP','OR','PW','WA','AP']
    else return null
   end
   return states
  end

That would be Features, Bob, not User Experience. If you can't tell UX from ... features then I'm not quite sure how the rest of your post is going to stand up.

What I can't understand is the people that like the "user experience" - a horoscope-like vague phrase that can blend into any kind of posh attitude - to describe what they apparently enjoy in a certain tool, brand or lifestyle.

Well, that answers that.

"No, they didn't. People think that the "want to find out more?" screen was the opt-in point, but it wasn't. The opt-in point was when you made your first Buzz post, when you were told this meant creating a public Google profile."

IE, John uploads True Blood Episode 4, Season 12.

Paul tries to upload the same file. They match exactly (Except maybe for names). The Uploader negates the upload and makes it look like the file is now in Paul's list, when really only one copy exists.
