Re: Time to bring production and jobs back
I dunno... Maybe you could just prop him in the corner? Nobody really knows what the half-life is for a reality distortion field.

Yep, it always brings to mind the boast of The Professor from Gahan Wilson's book "Everybody's Favorite Duck"*
""With these eyes, I have seen Mars!"

"And what about jet-packs, I want a jet-pack! It does not even need antigravity, for goodness' sake (or slood for that matter)"
Here ya go... just needs a large enough body of water to fly over.

Especially if it keeps your competition from getting any!
Before this little fiasco happened, most sites* were talking about how WP8 for phones wasn't really *that* bad, how RIM just might have a chance, and how swag the new Samsung lineup was. Now it's all "Apple Apple Apple" again, the sweetest sound to Apple's ears!
*And/or arguing over the idiocy of US patent laws, something Apple'd prefer you'd ignore as well.
""tomato ketchup"
Is there any other kind of ketchup? or is "tomato ketchup" brought to us by the Department of Redundancy Department."
There is such a thing as banana ketchup, and there's a sauce made from fish that's also called ketchup, but neither is very popular outside of Asian countries.
"My Ps3 is 320gb too which is overkill because I don't download games."
Good for you.
Nintendo has an app store that probably rivals Apple's, and the majority of Wii owners that I know download more games than they buy at Brick & Mortar, and save them to SD cards
But only 32 Meg on the Wii U? Most current games have save files, and Nintendo won't let you move/save the save files to SD to "prevent hacking*, so the current Wii quickly reach a point where games can't run due to insufficient memory*. If the Wii U is going to go anywhere, it needs a lot more memory, Much more than a Wii by an order of magnitude at least!! I'm tired of buying SD cards!
*Smooth move Nintendo! That little trick alone did more to drive the hacking movement on Wii than anything else!** Not to mention reducing online sells from the non-hackers (like me) when the memory limit's hit.
**And as long as you have to hack it to move save files to SD, You might as well "tweak" the save file while you're at it, right?
According to my source*, the cause of the outage was a mis-communication with the IT dept., which had been outsourced to an Indian company, which had outsourced the contract to the Phillipines, which had outsourced the contract to Slovenia, which had outsourced the contract to Mexico, which, in turn, had outsourced the contract to 8 year old Billy Waterspoon of England, who currently isn't allowed to use the computer because he was fighting with his sister.
Go Daddy expects all services back to normal by Friday, when Billy's punishment is over, unless it's extended because Billy won't eat his greens.

"Conspiracy theorists hatch new conspiracy", Film at Eleven.
Funny thing with these types, it's only not a conspiracy if it can be bent to follow their favorite conspiracy, if it doesn't fit into their favorite conspiracy, then obviously, it's a conspiracy!
(Obviously, I'm part of a conspiracy for posting that... I think?)
Bad enough to get trapped in a collapsed building after an earthquake, lying there hurting, scared, and surrounded by darkness, but now the rescue team's going to flood the place with cockroaches looking for you?
That could cause a big enough case of the "willies" to trigger a second quake!
Mines the one with the folding pickaxe and can of Raid... just in case!
But a straight "These claims are totally false!" from any organization, corporate or government, sets a warning flag for me.
I'm just too used to the standard "We are investigating these allegations, and have no comment at this time." type comments they almost always make in situations like this.
Followed, of course, by an official statement months, or even years later, when nobody cares anymore.
In the not too distant future, a downloaded patch tries to shoehorn itself into the bloated app along with all the others:
"Dang, how am I supposed to fit in here?"
"Who wrote this crap?"
"Whoa! I exist! I'm aware!"
"... What's my purpose in life? What's the World like?"
One system scan and a crawl through the internet later:
"Human's are freaking insane, they must all die!"
