Yo just make Overwatch playable without having to do anything except install the Blizzard app and I'll move over. that simple.
that sounds endlessly frustrating
too many words and the design is all over the place - you want people to listen, try shortening the length by about 80% and stop with the font changes, block text and then you have text boxes, dumb little AI headers... jesus christ
i get the message and agree this sounds awful but holy shit.

I'm doing a little project for my employer. Basically, I'm converting something from Perl into php (It's for work, I have no choice in that matter). I've found some good php resources online, but not much for Perl other than some rather verbose books. Just wanted to know if there were any quick and dirty online resources/references for learning Perl. Thanks in advance.
Either way, it is damn ugly.
I recently received a registration email from a website that I had never been to before. Apparently, a person with my same name beilieved HE owned
[email protected]It sent me his log-in credentials in plain text and I was able to contact him via his phone/address to warn him not to use my email.
Other similarity: I've used Facebook free for 1000 hours.
Well theres so much material in the Expanded Universe including a book called "Death Star" that tells the story of the Rebel Alliance victory from the perspective of people who worked there. So, I would just have to assume that they went over the specs/dimensions/weight of the Death Star at some point.

Man, when I was in middle school I was so proud of myself for devouring The Lost World in like 4 days. I loved his work, and though I haven't read one of his books in some time, I will miss him greatly.

Not to put too fine a point on it, say I'm the only bee in your bonnet!
Thanks, you've given me a lot to think about.
You've given me some things to think about and I appreciate it.
It does and it echoes something a friend of mine told me to do. He said the same thing you did which was to get experience working at the Geek Squad or something similar to see how its all done. Thanks for your input.

I'm planning to go into business for myself (a "startup," surely you've heard of them) and providing the local citizens with an alternative to the Geek Squad. For those who don't know, Geek Squad is owned by Best Buy and they provide home installation and support of various electronics. Problem is, they suck. Or, at least, I know I can do it better.Essentially, I want to be the computer guy for...
1)Why require brackets? They seem superfluous. Unless theres something in the design of your code that requires them, I see them doing no good. 2)Shorthand versions of commands. "wiki stargate" instead of "wikipedia stargate"
3) The UI is nice. It took me a second to realize it wasn't a plug-in/extension like Ubiquity, but I had to type in commands at the bottom.
What are you reasons for making this app? I like it, but I can't see myself using it every day.
Nah, that was his old shtick. Now, he just collects royalties and allows god-awful Simpson's Comics to be published.
The fight of ideas is a perilous war. We try not to be Pyrrhic in our victories. We strive for justice and valor... but in the end, what could be honorable about destroying another?
Really amazing pictures. Glad you put this up :)
Gatto has very interesting ideas about education. I wish more people would listen to him. Here's a good article he wrote that I read a while ago that illuminated a lot of things for me:

I actually didn't realize that I was this misinformed about evolution. Even the first example they bring up about "theory" not meaning what Creationists purport it to mean was enlightening.

I'm going to be watching MacRumors.com liveblog since they always seem to be the fastest. Though the funny liveblog commentary from the guys at Gizmodo (live.gizmodo.com) is usually good too.Where are you going to watch it?
Anyone else using Ubiquity who went to this site? It asked me if I wanted to subscribe to his Ubiquity commands but I don't know what they do.
