No, it's not. At least, not in this comment thread it isn't. The question was why the shift from the trend of calling it global warming to calling it climate change.

Please, adjust your knickers and find another place to Diggify.

Because, to the general public, global warming is confusing. "They're saying we're making the world warmer, so how come I just saw on TV that we're having the coldest winter on record?"

Climate Change more accurately reflects that it's going out of whack in both directions.

Well, this ice is already floating, according to the article. Just because it's floating by itself doesn't mean the sea level's going to rise around it.

What I've always liked about games that run out of actions that fast is that they give a set time limit. I can play the game daily and get hooked in bits and pieces, with a clear endpoint for my play session.

I used to play Kingdom of Loathing, I loved it for much the same reason.

Considering how quickly the retraction was made, isn't it more likely that they're simply waiting for their lawyers to excise the right pieces without screwing up the rest of the ToS?

This isn't just a quick sweep of the mouse followed by Backspace, here.

My being okay with government paying attention to what's going on inside its borders is... harming me?

Say what, now? Your tinfoil hat's on too tight.

I share the sentiment of your first paragraph. I've never been one to be too upset about government surveillance, because I realize it helps keep me safe, and such.

I wouldn't jump so far as to say "This is a dictator-esque move", though. This is a move that shows what happens when you take a phone call from someone hysterically complaining about something and don't wait for them to calm down before you do whatever they told you to.

It is dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

> USE TORCH

You have no more action points.

*log on the next day*

You have been eaten by the grue.

> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH.

What?

That ease of use is probably what helped make them unprofitable, sadly. When you're the easiest place to download from, people will use you more often. FilePlanet succeeds because of its annoying queues keeping more impatient users away, while getting all the perks of being an IGN subsidiary by having all those exclusive beta keys that you can ONLY GET IF YOU'RE A PLATINUM SUPER SUBSCRIBER! As long as no one imitates MegaUpload's current captchas. Oh lordy are those awful.

But if you're looking for the weeks before, shouldn't we also be waiting for the weeks *after*? It's like when inspection stickers on cars roll over to the next month. You're bound to see people avoid driving their illegal cars to work until the weekend, when they can get it fixed. You'll see a drop in traffic for a day or two but that doesn't mean the change in speed limit affected anything. That weak analogy reminded me that my sticker just rolled over a couple days ago...

I know I avoided pretty much the entire Internet like the plague April 1. It really is quite the annoying day to be online, what with Youtube going upside down or whatever. Does it explain all of the 30%? Probably not. Does it explain some of it? Probably. I could be ignorant about whether Sweden celebrates April Fool's, but...

I'm pretty happy as well with the fact that unlike the SP, you really don't feel like you're missing out on too much with the DS Lite. The best thing about this is that if your DS happens to break, you know you have this sleeker version of it waiting in the wings for you, but you know that you don't have to go out and buy this RIGHT AWAY like with the GBA SP, which really added features that the GBA should've had in the first place.
