Hypercard and Hyperstudio! I played around making all sorts of silly games, slowly learned how to add in some scripting on my own, tinkering about. Had a course in highschool that went into more depth, and then a class in Java.

I've looked into this -- I don't want to carry around several SD cards with me, and I didn't find a phone where the built in space + an SD card would be big enough. If you have a recommendation I'd love to hear it.

I hope that this is an indicator of a 128 GB iphone in the future. I've held off on getting a smartphone for years because if I'm going to get more high tech gadgetry then I want it to replace my mp3 player, and 64 GB would not cut it.

This is it. The culmination of the human experience. Countless generations led us here, to this point in time -- this glorious point in time, in which man has finally done it! We can now interact with rats via robots. We're done here, humans. We've won. Anything else form here on out is just frosting on the cake.

Sounds interesting, here's another source, since this is slashdotted: http://www.techspot.com/news/48335-valve-confirms-steam-and-source-engine-for-linux.html

Wait, you mean a product costs more than the sum if its intrinsic parts? STOP THE PRESSES!

Keep in mind, this is before the game even goes up for sale, which I'm sure will generate additional revenue. It's already a company, they have other revenue sources through sales of their previous games, etc. This is the initial investment capitol not "ZOMG we need to feed 47 people" capitol.

I never gave it much thought.

I think Banksy said that,

Incorrect: as long as you can measure that mark as a distance with arbitrary precision you can use that to convey any amount of data. For instance, your distance could be 0.7269767679 mm, which, with a simple 1:1 dec to ascii conversion is 0.HELLO, assuming you use fractions of a millimeter for your data. See? With infinite precision comes infinite data. Infinite precision is, of course, difficult to impossible in the real world, but that's never stopped me before.

yeah, earthly indulgences are wicked sweet. You could buy a lot of waffle mix with one million dollars. about 592,000 lbs of waffle mix.

A well thought out article, though I'm not sure about your claim that polygamy creates a less warlike mentality. I've heard quite the opposite argued, in fact, that widespread polygamy makes prospective mates less common for those who have less available to offer, which leads to frustration and violence. Of course, this is just an argument I've heard, [citation needed].
