i'd prefer auto complete to be summoned
So, you want to take the "auto" out of "auto-complete"?
-
as a per-user optional setting yes.
alternatively i may break down and find out how to just kill it via JS for me and run it as a userscript.

Status: Fixed a bug, checked it into the trunk. I confirmed the changes are in the trunk, yet the Jenkins build system thinks the current trunk is several revisions behind what it actually is and continues to build old versions instead.

(2 and 3 letter domains apparently need local representative in libya.)
It's Libya. I bet you could get that for a goat, or else a $2/year fee.

I would kick a nun for a cheeseburger.
The son of a bitch at McDonald's turned my "only ketchup" cheeseburger into a "no ketchup" one, and of course I didn't find that out until I got back to the office.

Status: …underwhelmed.
I want to see if EA says anything worthwhile about [spoiler]Mass Effect 4[/spoiler]. I think I don't really expect them to, but who knows.(Mirror's Edge 2 also has some potential; I really liked most of ME1 but hated the combatish segments enough I could never bring myself to play beyond maybe 1/3 or 1/2 way. If they trim that up for 2, I could see myself having a lot of fun with it.)

Their presser starts in about 45 minutes (as of posting); I'll watch, but I might zone out during the half-hour EA Sports "here's the same game you played last year, but with new names!" bit

Status: Square's hype video was effective. I will spend the next day with Frog's theme stuck in my head, only to find out dey trollin'.

Well, I turned on the stream just in time to catch the very very end of the trailer. Hopefully they'll say more later.

Way back in the day, I worked with a fellow that could be kindly called, "Eccentric". He was very particular about...well...every fucking thing. He was also very mild-mannered, but when pushed beyond his breaking point, it got...interesting.
He and I usually worked an odd arrangement where we worked through the normal lunch time, and then took ours after everyone else (this was during my early days in construction). When we went to McDonald's, he would always order the Quarter Pounder value meal, completely plain. One day, we get back to the jobsite and he opens his burger and it is loaded. The smartass grill cook decided to drown it in ketchup and mustard, load it down with cheese and onions and pickles, etc. You could plainly tell that the "mistake" was intentional.
He drives right back to McDonald's without saying a word. He stands in line at the counter very calmly. When he gets to the front of the line and the guy asks him, "How may I help you?", he slams the sloppy burger down on the counter and bellows with a thunderous voice,
"BREAD AND MEAT!! HOW FUCKING HARD IS IT?!"
Even though I had done nothing, I could never bring myself to visit that McDonald's again.

Thought you'd be interested, Commander ;)
Don't know if they'll reveal any more; they might save it for next year's E3

I just have to say I endorse your friend's idea because I haven't had anything but the fries yet. Bastard.
And I can't say much because that McD's is almost literally right across the street and it's the closest place.

Also, while I'm ranting, KETCHUP ONLY DOES NOT MEAN DROWN THE FUCKING BURGER IN KETCHUP TO MAKE UP FOR THE MISSING MASS OF THE OTHER CONDIMENTS!!!1!1
WHAAAARGARBL.

Who is to say that elves are not angels? You are a fucking heightist.

Status: Sony announced Shenmue III; it's being funded through Kickstarter.
Kickstarter just collapsed under the load.

Goddamned. That is not what Kickstarter should be used for.

Status: Decided to do some Dark Souls 1 PVP for the evening. So far, I've only won 1 fight where the host panicked so it wasn't much of a fight, lost 4 actual fights, had 1 person that just let me kill him, and 1 that died to an enemy before I found them.
Maybe I should switch up where I'm invading.

Anything that gets Shenmue 3 made is right.
Now where did I put my Dreamcast?

Is the assumption that because they're playing Alien Swarm they don't have any friends?

It looks like any other airplane. Don't see what's the big deal.

Did you watch the video? That take-off would be impressive for most fighter planes.

Yes, I'm sure other planes would look impressive too if flown empty, while trying to show off.
I'm more interested in how close to suicide you'll feel while crammed inside. Let's see some improvements there, please.

Not if they first shed 80 kkg of cargo...

Status: considering putting together a service like bit.ly but for NSFW links. instead of redirecting you to the link directly it drops you on a warning page that describes why the linker tagged it NSFW so you can decide whether to follow the link or not.
Will that also work for NSFL links?
Except, 1 in 10 times, it just shows you the page without a warning.
Its name should be "brave.ly".
The evil ideas thread is :assorted_arrows.mdb:.

that's the plan. if i can find a suitable domain that i can buy for less than an arm or a leg

Did you watch the video?
Yes. It is a gigantic airplane. The maneuvers they were doing reminded me of that kid in high school that used to drive his mom's Crown Vic like it was a rally car.

Not really...

Although, I will give them credit for lining up the most advantageous viewpoint to make it look impressive. It is kind of how chunky girls know which awkward camera angles make them look 30 lbs lighter. Boeing just catfished you.
Not to mention that those maneuvers were also pointless in that they would not have been capable of it with a full passenger and fuel load...and if they did they would be hosing the vomit out of the inside of it for a week.

OK, the USA has VTOL aircraft that will outperform the Harrier by a long shot. Any time someone talks aircraft with Brits, they bring up the Harrier and the Concorde. You need to let it go, your Concorde moment has passed.

And the aerial poetry that is the Supermarine Spitfire ;)
@Polygeekery said:your Concorde moment has passed
The most annoying thing about that is we have the technology to build a much better Concorde, but instead the airliner industry is focussed on turning their planes into the world's largest sardine tins

She's not fat! She's just big-engined! *sobs*

What's more pathetic is when you talk to a Canadian and they're still bitter about the Avro Arrow.

The one that would have its ass handed to it by a P-51 Mustang? Now that's a sexy airplane!

When you have a point, you have a point.
But still, I will see your Harrier and raise you an F-35B:
