I miss TM.

phosphorus is a delightful burn too

Ephesos is away at the GDC this week, expect nothing from him.

I didn't see it on your list, but I would have to pick happiness.

The same could be said for pretty much anything that is observed, and named by, scientists. There are, of course, exceptions, but ... geez, you'd think that folks could think up better names than Pseudotsuga menziesii. Obviously named in honor of Archibald Menzies, naturalist and doctor aboard HMS Discovery, the common name is Douglas-fir, in honor of David Douglas, the botanist who brought specimens back to Great Britain and cultivated it at Drumlanrig Castle in the early 1800's. The actual catalogist was the French botanist, Carriere. So yeah, not a lot of sense anywhere in the scientific community.

Perfection can only be seen through a very limiting lens.

He's a natural!

Watch out for snow drifts.

Yeah, no one is arguing that unicorns aren't dense. I mean, they fall for that "virgin" line every time.

Huh? There has been x-day free trialware around for over a decade. Hell, even MS Office, as pre-loaded on my laptop, has features that have disappeared over time since I lost the key. How can a patent be issued on this?

I was wondering when he would do this. I offered to 3rd party it a while ago, but he said he had something in the works. Too bad there is no Exile, no Blades, no Nethergate, no fun. Looks like straight advertising gear to me.

Would it be too hasty to conclude that anti-matter unicorns don't matter?

Unicorn should be a color of the rainbow.

Corporate naming rights on a stadium will disqualify it from inclusion as an Olympic venue. Rather than build a new hockey place, Vancouver's Olympic committee reached an understanding with the corporation whose name normally adorns the building.

They give you hockey. IN the awesomely named Canada Hockey Place.

Why is this even worth mentioning? We have plenty of polls that are presented adequately. Wouldn't this just be a personal, rather than an external, failure?

Send it me.

I still maintain it is not pronounced Ecksian.

I remember watching the first of the Space Shuttle failures. It made me realize that the government reacts to the unscripted in very irrational ways.

Tourists aren't forced. Capitalism rocks.

Russians aren't too likely to look toward Jeff for advice. They seem stuck on taking advantage of him in other ways.

Synergy - It's spelled Vonn, not Vaughn, and her friend is German, not Austrian. You forgot to add his middle name in every instance of his name. Somehow it's important that that get done. If by good-natured competition you actually meant bitter rivalries, than I agree. But watching the Olympics is a lot like visiting Disney. You see all the stuff that you are supposed to see, and never witness the dirty stuff under the surface. There are 4 years between games, and the athletes compete the whole time. What might improve things, and I don't know if Jeff touched on this in his blog, is if the condom deliveries were mandated for all competitions in which rankings were decided. The closeness of the Olympic village seemed to have thawed relations between competitors, and I, for one, would like to see more of that during the Olympic sized intermissions.

Back in my day we had to re-use old posts. None of this fancy double posting, or starting new threads to discuss new topics. All we needed was a new thought and the Edit button. It was good enough then, and it's good enough now. -

Huh. Still makes me uncomfortable to have banned members discussed, and even personified, as there is no equitable way for them to represent. On the other hand, at least it is over.
