GameStop Pulls Medal of Honor from Stores on Military Bases - IndustryGamers

Pure and unadulterated bullshit! If GameStop really cares about not offending our service members, they should drop the game totally. Dropping it only from GameStop locations within bases is just hypocrisy.

Who the hell do these people think they are fooling? If they want to do it right, they should either sell the product everywhere, or drop it from their catalog. This attitude to me is more disturbing than the ruckus about the game itself.
Nobody complained when so many of us burned so many hundreds of hours playing Call of Duty: World at War in multiple player games as either Japanese v. US, Germans v. US or Germans v. Soviets. Why is this so different?

What you need to do is make it interesting. Let the US side have all of the gadgetry, firepower and technology that we have, and let the evildoer side have shitty, beat up weapons, IEDs that may blow up in their faces as they try to set them into position, etc.

On sleep deprivation and Incan Monkey Gods

From: Dilbert comic strip for 08/03/1992 from the official Dilbert comic strips archive. I was trying to show this strip to a coworker who is dangerously toying with the harsh mistress that is Insomnia. What shocked me is how quickly I was able to look up the strip, which was published when he was just 11 years old, and two weeks before my just-out-of-college ass shipped out to US Army Basic Training.

The Black Hole

If this was a minigolf hole, you can't reach B from A. Ever. If this was a room lined with mirrors, and you lit a candle at point A, you can't see it from B, not even reflected.  Update: I guess I didn't explain this all the way through. You can't reach B from A with just one stroke, there's no direct line between them, and there is no way to bounce the ball (assuming perfect conditions). Thanks to Ben for pointing this obvious error.

Goodbye Blackberry 8530, hello Samsung Intercept (both Virgin Mobile USA)

Got the phone switching bug again, and this time I am going to try to see if I can live with an Android phone . According to Virgin Mobile, they will be upgrading their Samsung Intercept to 2.2 froyo sometime in Spring, since I am completely new to Android I am not too worried about it yet. And no, I am not interested in a jailbreak. The dots are used for the unlock pattern, which after very little time becomes instinctive, much easier than having to remember a password.  The new phone is slightly longer and narrower than my Blackberry 8530. The back cover is as flimsy.  The Samsung Intercept is of course thicker since it has a slide-out keyboard.  I haven't measured them, but the new keyboard feels at least twice as wide as the one in the Blackberry. The only problem is that due to the USB port being on the top of the phone, and I am a lefty, it is really damn hard for me to type if I am charging the phone. I imagine right handed people have the same ki...
