Everyone should know what a differential is! All people should strive to achieve a modicum of understanding of those basic devices and principles which are so ubiquitous in modern life. I don't need to be surrounded by even more people spouting drivel about "the cloud" because they saw some talking head droning on about it.

DVDs Smell Like Domino's Pizza For New Marketing Campaign. I'd rather eat the DVD.

So which is worse? Dominos or Pizza Hut? I think PH is slightly worse...

I'm not the slightest bit religious, but I have way more respect for people who are and leave others alone instead of the assholes who think criticizing them is somehow enlightening.

I stopped being surprised at just how much religious bigotry exists on the Internet long ago, and Bluesnews is definitely no exception, but I agree wholeheartedly with the quoted portion of Mad Max's post.

I'll be the first to bash a Christian who gets on his or her moral superiority high horse on things like sex, drinking, or gay marriage, but a guy who happens to proudly avail himself of his religious denomination while reviewing games is not an affront to anybody, and all this unwarranted scorn and mockery serves to make those who consider themselves enlightened or intellectually superior appear just the opposite.

I'm talking about bought security mainly. Let's try to seperate the safety in numbers argument from the company or politician trying to sell you a false message of security. They sell you peace of mind and nothing all. Secuirty is a band aid to a much larger issue of evil human behaviour. Obviously humans need to stick together and that's not what I am talking about. Rules are important but security, the peace of mind bullshit people sell you, is not needed. There is only so far you can go where the balance of ACTUAL real safety is not increased vs the restriction of freedom. It's a balancing act, you should never go too far and choose a little bit more security over freedom.

I didn't like Cutter's remark either, but let's keep RL references out of here.

It's not my fault I'm almost always right. It does, however, tend to piss off other people. Shit, truth hurts I guess.

Alright, this can't really be Cutter. He's always overcompensated for whatever sad little person he is IRL, but this is reaching parody levels. I wonder if Blue can check IPs to make sure nothing shady is going on here.

That's bull shit man, you gotta eat some actual food. Eat a big salad or something. I'm 27, 6'1", 180lbs. I run a lot to curb my somewhat elevated caloric intake. I eat a lot of food, I just consume almost no empty calories (big bowls of oatmeal, big plates of whole wheat pasta primavera).

A good diet isn't something you adopt to drop pounds, it's a lifestyle change you can keep up indefinitely. Drinking "meal" shakes and eating "meal" bars is a bunch a horseshit.

On a different note my excitement level for Dust 514 on the PS3 went up when I found out it supports KB/M controls.

Wondering if covello has ties to intel/nvidia and/or this is just strait up fraud.

The SEC financial budget has been slashed so much, the ratio of Cases to Staff is astronomical. There is virtually no chance of getting investigated (think world wide bank fraud, almost crashing world economy) much less getting prosecuted and imprisoned if guilty.

weird. Tin foil much?

weirder. Live under rock, much?

Verno, you make it sound like you never eat at any fast food places. Do you really find all fast food unappealing? While I certainly don't eat at them often any longer. It isn't because I think all the food is horrid -- although I'll agree some of it is pretty bad. For me it's more of a, "I have enough problems keeping my salt and fat intake down.." issue.

I take our daughter to McDonalds once in awhile because she loves it but generally speaking I do not eat at fast food places, no. If I'm going to have the calories and salt, I might as well do it at a real restaurant to get quality food and often the meal doesn't take much longer anyway. Fast food is also getting fairly pricey these days for what amounts to deep fried processed crap and junk ingredients.

Nothing food snob about it BTW, it's just sensible eating for your enjoyment and long term well being If fast food was a good value for body/money and tasted good I'd do it all the time.

I also love cooking and appreciate the work that goes into a real meal

What are glasses prices like in the US for readers, drivers and progressives? They can be effing pricy here - $175 for lenses with scratch coating for drivers/readers, and $300 for progressives.

Highly variable. I suspect you could probably get a set of progressives for under $200 but your frame choice would be limited. My last set was in the $375 range if I remember right. My problem, as mentioned previously, is my preferred style of frames has dropped off the market. Actually, it's been about six months now, I need to go look again...
