Steve Wilhite and his "proper" pronunciation can go pound salt.

Tell you what; you go create a new image file format, and you can call it whatever you want.

Ya know who created that .gif I posted? The creator of the .gif file format:

Why are there images in this thread? Because it's pronounced "jif," not "gif."

Hey, this is the GIF thread counselor.

Start your own JIF thread...

Does it include the business operator getting over $50,000 in donations from like-minded supporters? So it is Ok that they are being harassed and threatened because they received unsolicited donations? No, I absolutely do not agree with that, and I said as much yesterday. But it would a bit naive t...

Pillars of Eternity is fun but tough. I'm playing on the regular difficulty level, and I still get my butt kicked on a regular basis. This isn't a tactical RPG with a grid for combat, but you really need to pay attention to character positioning anyway. For example, wizards get absolutely shellacked...

The front end is too busy but will probably be toned down for production. As a hatchback lover, I'm glad to see that Honda is bringing back the hatchback versions. Honda's Fit hatchback sells very well, and they're probably also being driven by the fact that across the hall at the NY Auto Show Toyot...

Ruger has reintroduced the SP101 in .327 Federal Magnum (http://ruger.com/products/sp101/specSheets/5773.html), this time with a longer barrel and adjustable sights. The .327 can also be loaded with the .32 H&R Magnum, the .32 S&W Long, and the .32 S&W Short. I really want one of these. I think this...

I swear that Libertarians go too far with the whole "individual rights" thing. So Shyster, you'd be OK with FOR WHITES ONLY fountains some private company puts up in parks then. If the park is privately owned and is private property, then yes. Or at least I do not believe that such a thing should b...

Only to the extent it affects private individuals and private business (I think those parts are Title II and Title VII). The whole "public accommodations" part is based on the post-New Deal expansive view of the Commerce Clause, which I believe is fundamentally contrary to the 9th and 10th Amendment...

I understand you're not racist... I'm just trying to see which groups you are okay with a business saying "yeah, we don't serve your kind" and which groups you are not. I am okay with refusing any and all groups for any reason whatsoever. And I just want to be 100% clear here, you are fine with a b...

Hakuhō Shō
34 sumo championships (and counting)

So let me get this straight. You enjoy shooting squirrels and whatever other rodent things you dislike with a bb gun or machine gun you have in your arms that day. But you won't shoot arrows at video game bad guys.

The title of the game is Thief, not Serial Killer.

For Libertarians, There Is Only One Fundamental Right http://reason.com/archives/2015/03/29/how-many-rights The libertarian position is that any claim of an entitlement to be served by another person (e.g. cook me food, bake me a cake, take my pictures) necessarily violates the non-aggression princi...

I'm one of those people who eats mayo with French fries.

Count me amongst your numbers as well, good sir.

So far it's you, me, and the Belgians.

You guys should put bios about yourself.

Shoe size included. That's very important.

It ranges from 11 EEE to 11.5 EEEE depending on brand.

I'm one of those people who eats mayo with French fries. Do you mayo haters never eat tuna, chicken, or ham salad?

I know it's just a game, but I feel bad for robbing poor people's apartments. I have to in order to buy supplies. And I've decided to play not nice and kill as many of these guards as I can. They're bad people and I enjoy shooting them in the face with an arrow. That you can kill the guards at will...

getting things notarized

One perk of working in a law firm is that there are notaries everywhere. I think something like 1/4 of our employees are notaries.

Heinz. It's one of the few big-company mayos that doesn't include natural flavors or MSG. I really hope it doesn't go away due to the merger with Kraft.

I think it is safe to say GermanWings will no longer exist in about 6 months.

Maybe. It's a wholly owned subsidiary of Lufthansa, so I doubt the company is going anywhere. They might change the name. That would be fairly easy to do.

I could be wrong, but a concussion severe enough that they took Letang to the hospital for overnight observation strikes me as a concussion that he won't be coming back from anytime soon. He could be out for some or even all of the playoffs.

Bought Pillars of Eternity from Obsidian Entertainment. Obsidian is the successor to Black Isle Studios, which back in the day created the Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment games. This game is an unabashed throwback to those earlier RPGs. It started off on Kickstarter, where it ra...

Neat. She could end up at the Phantom of the Consol Energy Center. Living behind the ice chiller and eating stale nachos. I can picture the scene where she drops the jumbotron to the ice and then demands that the teams play hockey according to the new rules she created.

Phil Plait is one of my favorite amateur's in the field; although I don't really think he's an amateur with a Doctorate in Supernova's or whatever he studied. He posted an interesting article a couple of days ago on the Dawn spacecraft. http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2015/03/22/ceres_new_...
