Janine Melnitz: Do you believe in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis?

Winston Zeddemore: Ah, if there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe anything you say.

Being /. I'm guessing that jokes on insertion not being hard would be a waste of time... ;-)

Being /., people would probably think it's a joke about the coding complexity of a sorting algorithm. ;-)

Judging by the state of your palms, you find plenty to do in the basement.

I don't get it. What has his subterranean arboretum got to do with anything?

You're absolutely right, but I was quoting the movie The Big Lebowski. :-)

Dude, Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.

(Yes, I know I'm late to the party, just couldn't resist posting this. :-)

I have a two-yea old, mid-range 42 inch Panasonic plasma and it suffers from smearing. Even though it has a refresh rate of 200hz, it is noticable on fast panning action.

I'm no expert, but I've read the "200Hz" means the TV tries to calculate in-between frames. This doesn't work well for fast panning action, which might be causing the smearing. Try to see if you can get rid of the smearing by turning this "smart" feature off.

Yeah, it's funny. It also contains a pet peeve of mine: don't apply the i/e rule of thumb to proper names! If you're not sure about the correct order, a quick google will help. Jaegermeister, Einstein, Heinlein, etc. Helpful Wikipedia reference :-)

'roguelike' simply means 'like rogue'. I think the poster has a problem with the term 'dungeon crawler', which indeed gives dungeons (and crawling :-) a little too much credit. But 'roguelike' seems like a perfect, if unhelpful, name for the genre.

...don't count Steve Jobs out. The dude is wildy sucessful at going against popular opinnion.

Shouldn't that be "wildly succesful at distorting reality"?

Everything runs Linux, but Windows seems to run everything.

Hi, I'm Clippy! Did you mean "...but Windows seems to ruin everything." ?

I am thinking of a number.... it's between 13,256,278,887,989,457,651,018,865,901,401,704,639 and 13,256,278,887,989,457,651,018,865,901,401,704,641

Hmmm... "between inclusive" or "between exclusive"?

..."exhausted iRolling"? ;-)

Or does Google use some kind of 'compiled to machine code' Java variant?

Aren't most Java VMs nowadays JIT compilers? I don't know if the version(s) for Android devices do JIT, but if so, the answer to your question is yes.
