You know what, I've stopped getting excited when I met someone claiming to be a gamer, because they inevitably say they play "Dota". Play what you want, but why is it always Dota?

Roblox not working is annoying. I play a bunch of stupid Roblox games with my kids and switching back to Windows just for that is a pain.

I'm at the point of looking to pay for a good usenet service. I'll definitely probably start looking next week.

Flight of the navigator.

An entire film to make one E.T. joke.

I can't do it. I feel asleep too quickly.

On Fire.

The stuff stinks. If the devil has blood it would be tomato sauce.

I loved the original game and was about to buy the new one, but I did not expect it to be $30. I'll wait for a sale.

It'll stay empty of course. If make a big enough bucket to stand in and you could go deep sea diving without an airtank.

The 2 principles I stick to are.

1. Job hunting is a numbers game, just like any sales job. Don't take rejection personally, just move on to the next one.
2. Don't get excited about a job until you have a signed contract. Just apply / interview, and forget about it until the next stage happens.

Number 2 is hard to do sometimes, but worth doing whenever possible.

It is the Benjamin Franklin effort. Google it for a better explanation than my own.

Indeed. I should have said "borrow something important". It needs to be something they care about, or something they know you care a lot about. How you say thanks are examples.

Borrow something from then. Then, when you return it, be very grateful, and maybe give a bottle or chocolates or say you owe them one.

After that they will be nicer to you.

I don't think they'll ever get address and Street information right. It needs a plugin that links gmaps street info into osm.

I considered the jump to iPhone and did some testing on one of my kids iPhones. The common apps were essentially identical to my android, but the weird thing is free apps on iPhone all seem to just captive webpages or some other crap quality thing. You have to pay for good apps on iPhone. On android the free stuff is consistently better. Just my experience.

He should remove the "post" button while he's at it.

The coolest one . . . . Gen X.

Places of religious worship and formal teaching (e.g. churches, and Sunday schools) should be treated like bars and porn. You need to be an adult to access bars and porn because children do not fully understand what is happening or the consequences of being there. Churches (etc) are the same and there should be a legal age limit.

It should also be socially unacceptable to talk about religious opinions in front of kids, just like most people don't swear or talk dirty, etc.

I agree with schools teaching kids "about" religions, just like sex and drugs. Teaching facts is good, preaching (aka indoctrination) is not.

At best it is a technical forum for me. I have an account I've used since the days of the great digg migration. A lot of communities grew and became fun but most are now either dead or crap.

Their recent Minecraft stuff has been quite fun. I miss the yogslabs stuff.
