I actually liked that aspect. Cop chases were properly challenging. CTOS, on the other hand, was complete bullshit that placed you in unavoidable situations pretty much half the time.What game is CTOS?
Canasta, The Original Series?

Thanks for reporting that, I just fixed it, will be available here on the next deploy ;)
I cannot count the ways this does not inspire confidence.

If they can scale them down to 50kw we'd have the first practical nuclear powered 80's hair.
What about the vacuum cleaner?
That was our favorite.

I think Mallory and Irvine were the first. Suck it.
Ok, then.
Neither Mallory nor Irvine revealed which of them summited first, either.
Sssseeesh. Picky.

Pfffffbt. Don't you know that accomplishments only matter if they are done by European people??
I only keep that fact on the tip of my brain because it was a very classy and canny move on their part to never reveal who reached the summit first.
And all pre-PC.
No, not the IBM PC....

(Twitter) Bootstrap is to CSS as LaTeX is to TeX: whereas 'raw' TeX or CSS are considered clunky and difficult to use, albeit for different reasons, Bootstrap and LaTeX provide an "authors' level interface" to their respective underlying platforms that makes 90% of their power and expressiveness available in an elegant way.
And by letting "authors" take the easy way out, Knuth was clearly Doing It Wrong(tm)
Cheap shot, taken.
There's sort of an anti-allegory meta-thing going on here.
My personal machines are named after astronauts. I don't recycle names even with a new installation on the same machine, so I'm most of the way through Apollo.
So, ... next is... Starbuck?
Do Cmdr. Adama and Col. Tighe count?

That's just a remake of Don Quixote. Lame.
Every generation needs its own Don Quixote.
My son eats nothing without hotsauce, and generally thinks hotter is better.
But, in elementary (or in his case alimentary) school he had already discovered that sometimes hotter has less flavor. So the Siracha sits on the shelf, lonely.
Woot! and +1 for him.
Chez IJIJ we prefer "Texas Pete's" and "Frank and Ed's" [which I think we find at the $ store]. More full bodied than straight Tabasco.

This film is rated TWTF - not suitable for any audience.
Why not? The Ballmer peak brought you Windows ME..
So you know that Discourse is Windows ME??

Awesome built-in step-stool.
And off to the FAQ's for my 10+ minutes of purgartory.
My first reaction was unprintable.
Then I read "tool booth" - and I'm now I'm down to mere terror. Like "Poseidon Adventure" in real-life terror.
66 to Reston, no way. Not happening.
Tool Road to Reston. Intriguing, but no, I would not ride with them either.
This AM - dude goes from lane #1 (L->R) through lane#4 and onto the ramp in less than - say, 1/4 mile.
At 65mph+.
In traffic.
Probably 30 cars between me and him.
Not. A. Single. Brake. Light.
So, should I be more scared of HIM or Everybody Else?
Or, scared of ME, since I'm not finding these things utterly terrifying any more?
I have prepared a screed, but do not want to unleash it unnecessarily...
So, a question.
Is anyone out there defending the idea that IT-folk should strictly "work to rule". (E.g. "I worked 42 hours last week, where's my money?")
Earned my Whoosh!!

Yes. I did make a jet noise to myself while I typed that. It was fun.
WOOT!!
(Don't tell PJH, but in my defense, those are trucks (with jet engines) in the picture (I (can (nest (parens) too)))
And since it's 'Merican, why the gosh-darn heck wouldn't that be jet-powered truck racing??)

Less drama than dating someone else.
But forgetfulness is already kicking in, so the drama could easily increase.

Many regular markers (and sharpies) keep their ink liquid with aggressive solvent compounds. Such compounds end up eating through the disk's protective layers.

Makes sense to me. When commuting, I changes lanes at roughly the same places every day.
What? You plan ahead?

No, never for a steak. A dash for your burger, if you like, and then it goes on your fries.
Maybe this is a new thread "Anti-Anti-Patterns", um "Pro-Patterns"??
Has anybody noticed that more people are using/expecting their brake-lights as "signals"?
Say you're in the next-to-the-fast lane ("2nd lane") and you're catching up to somebody - steady, definite, but not too fast.
Guy comes up in the fast lane ("1st"), passing you on the left...
I'm finding that if I tap my brakes, 1st-lane guy takes this as a signal that I'm staying put and he passes me straight-away, neat and tidy - and then I can smoothly pass the guy in front of me.
I'm seeing more people using this "brake signal" in the last year or so...
Also spreading, using your right-blinker on a long-long off-ramp to demonstrate that you're not intending to run up to the end of the ramp and swerve left.
So the a guy who didn't signal to switch lanes did switch lanes to pass the guy who had his blinker on to switch lanes.
Around here, when I see somebody tooling along with his left blinker on, I can pretty much count on him changing lanes to the right.
It could, but that would immediately prove to be a lie. that version would need to be:var varUses = 1; ```</blockquote> No. Now, var varUses = 2; Obviously....
Shouldn't the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum be empty??
There is "MY" computer and "THEIR" computer. Keeps it nice and simple.
Headed that way. I was hoping to keep the number of "screens" in the house down so that some non-IT play would occur. But...
Maybe I'll get my HW guy to upgrade an old case with tons of RAM and an SSD, but duct-tape the case together... ;)

That does not seem to be true - for most values of "true".
