   Same experience for me on a recent car purchase. Dealer didn't particularly want a down payment, which made me suspect that they are being comped on loan volume when financed through manufacturer, a choice I opted for because the % was

   'Comics' is a wide enough form to accommodate many different methods and timelines of production. If you look to the world of Print comics the intentions are often quite different from web and the production is as well. Everything

   Those eyes are crazy. I'm jealous of all of the animals that have a greater range of color perception than us. If I could trade for any trait, it'd be that.

   While mine has never 'accidentally' ordered anything or yelled about internet disconnect, I do agree with the conclusion that it ends up being a very specific device. For me, that is a connected speaker with good sound that I can

   Totally agree. Plant handles many complexities quite nicely, despite the poor tools available to render the visualization.

   I think Washington Post did the best job of any major national newspaper this year (at least in the second half) in terms of investigative Trump-related journalism. Puff-ish piece about his coverage (so you know its true): https:/&#x2

    I love it, and wish I could keep myself from making a lame Philip Glass emulator joke. Does this count?

    I think that is in part because they are highly moderated, both by their internal team and user votes. Such moderation is costly, but I tend to think it is worth it for the good of the community. http://www.nytimes.com/conte

    I saw the same tour in Los Angeles, and it stands as my favorite show. He and the band controlled the room and it was just amazing, beginning to end.

    It will be interesting to see how this might change in the decades to come. Will they find a way to evolve into a "real" colony? Will they find a way to sustain without reliance on "new arrivals"? Semi-off-topic, those p

    Great post, I love the "basic" challenges of development back in the early days. Dealing with Sound, in this article, jumped out at me. We take so much for granted about how our computers work today.

    It seems like services like these could be more helpful with author involvement. The example DHL clip, for example, helps tell the story visually, and if the article's author were involved in assembling a video package (without needing

    This is the conundrum. I'm used to the sight of 45mpg on my dashboard. Passat TDI was kind of my perfect car, so I really don't know what I'll go for next.

    Remarkably impressive, but I have to admin to being a bit creeped out by the save and relive stuff at the end. A bit too close to the dream machine in "Until the End of the World" for my taste.

    What a loss. High Output Management remains one of the finest books on our industry that I have read, and I'm glad we have that to help carry his torch forward.

    What is remarkable to me about Diablo is how little it has changed. Dungeons and environments are more sophisticated, but at its heart it remains the game described in that doc, just better.

    I read somewhere else about the move from turn based. If I recall correctly (sorry, no citation), the game was feeling a bit static, pretty much as you described. Somebody built a prototype live mode and that was when the game started feeli

    Their business model seems backwards. There are a lot more of us consumers than producers, so why not offer packages to us? That model does turn SC into a more traditional service, but because it has a more unique collection than the altern
