I'm buying the Star Trek Ship Collection off fo BBTS, and if you aren't and like Star Trek, go have a look. Got a link? http://www.startrek-starships.com/index-choose.html The quality is pretty damn nice, certainly more than enough for display and a *huge* step up from my old Micro Machines. These ...

I'm buying the Star Trek Ship Collection off fo BBTS, and if you aren't and like Star Trek, go have a look. The models are really nice and the booklet that comes with them is even semi-decent with concept art and stories about the design process. I've got four so far and the rest on pre-order (excep...

i always find it funny that when a language apologist tells you "now you don't have worry about memory management/types/const/whatever" what they usually mean is you can't "worry" about those things when you need them, essentially taking away "You don't have to worry about ...

Demolition Man is the shit. Is it an action movie, a comedy, a dystopian SF epic, a clever social commentary? Why not all of them!

"How can you justify destroying a $7 million dollar mini mall to rescue a girl whose ransom was only $25,000 dollars?"

FUCK YOU LADY

Brought back measles to NY after it had been eradicated ten years ago.

It's 20°C with blue skies and sunshine here. Been having lunch outside in short sleeves.

This time last year it was snowing.

One downside: the wasps didn't freeze...

The Russians will always say the protesters are fascists because all bad things ever were done by fascists. On one side you have the people of western Ukraine who want to join the EU, on the other side the people of Eastern Ukraine who want to be with Russia. There isn't really a 'side' to pick; it'...

Any plans on making it mandatory or can I keep using Steam?

What's Arc anyway?

Pacific Rim was that fatal combination of being both stupid and boring at the same time I am with you on that 50% Yeah, lots of stuff wrong on the space side, would have been cooler if they'd gotten it 100% That was the original plan until someone realised they'd spend most of the movie explaining ...

Horror may be the only mainstream genre I consciously avoid.

tl;dr for the confused people who don't get the board drama weekly newsletter

I spent way, waaay too much time on SDN during my awkward 18-25yr old days. I think it speaks volumes that as soon as I got an actual real-world life my time on SDN basically dropped to zero.

I'm like 90% sure some of our higher-level design 'specialists' have a daily major stroke or are pod people.

My cat was a wanderer too. Just showed up one day, very hungry but in good health, no chip, seriously traumatized. Thirteen years later he still runs behind the fridge whenever a truck drives by

This fits with my experience of France. I have 72 hours to rewrite a module because a new feature turned out to be completely incompatible with the hackjob another coder did. Meanwhile, two of our three development environments have died, the test server shoots itself in the head every night at five...

Guess I haven't been around much lately.

I just noticed the new word filter. I thought we stopped doing those after it went monumentally wrong the last time?

man I'm watching the star trek episode with the future space nazzies (in the past!) what is this shit apparently everyone in 1940s America was completely colourblind, and the nazis were the only racists ever? I mean, god-damn, for all its faults at least DS9's terrible 1950s lounge singer shit deal...

Shopping for a house, here's the wishlist:

"I can afford this"
"Not in the arse end of nowhere"
"Has a chance of not collapsing in the next 5 to 10 years"

Seems like I can only ever find a combo of two of those.

I am on mandatory paid sick leave until Monday. Also I am sick. Fortunately, the first balances out the latter.

I think you're not the target audience, unless you want to live the fantasy of being and/or fucking horrible bored people.

Hey Rogue From the comments: Chris January 1, 2014, 3:22 pm | Reply To be fair, Power Rangers was based off of the footage of a Japanese show that was actually pretty good called Super Sentai. Let’s hope they never touch Kamen Rider. Poor Chris. If only he knew... :v To be fair, I think Masked Ride...

Nice: "I have a 60% discount on a cutlery set so I'll buy you one"

Less nice: "It's not like you'll find a girl with her own cutlery anyway"

thanks mom
