No matter how many times I dump ingredients on my kitchen floor, it never turns into pancakes. I just canâ(TM)t figure out why.

Iâ(TM)ve used Haxe for a while, which compiles to many other languages. This doesnâ(TM)t really prevent you from having to learn new platforms when they come out, but my Haxe code is very easy to repurpose and integrate with other code. With Haxe I donâ(TM)t have to worry much about whether a popular language today will be around tomorrow.

Porn has always ruined lives. Now it will ruin more lives.

Okay, try to think outside your comfort zone for a bit here: What if there are really spirits in the house, BUT they're not simply dead people who don't know they're dead, like pop culture would have you believe? If they were actually a fallen angel (demon) whose job is to turn people away from the true God, what would they do? Given that they would be well aware of your presence and why you are there, they might perhaps perform for the folks who want to believe in "ghosts" but would not do a darn thing for the folks who want to prove there is no supernatural. Either scenario, their purpose is fulfilled. I'll probably get enough flames for that bit of commentary, so I won't get into how I think you should get rid of them.

Good point. Or maybe there would be a way to give the money, indicate that it came from a billionaire, but not say who it was.

If they want to buy their way into heaven, they should read this quote from Jesus: “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. (Matthew 6: 1-4)

Following the same line of reasoning, if dinosaurs have eyes and octopi have eyes, then an octopus is a dinosaur. You need to do better than that, people.

Duke Nukem started out as an innocently fun DOS platform shooter, supposedly for kids. To cast him as a stripper-club owner with a gun is just stupid.

Wonder if this will spawn a run on Mac G5's.

Design is where you build something. This is simply eugenics at a microscopic level. And simply evil.

Why don't unborn humans have human rights?
