…it’s how you imagine people look or it’s what you imagine people look like, but not both…

beep-beep-beep-beep! beep. beep.

…two-thirds a dram of scotch whisky…

…trinitrons are curved, just two-dimensionally…

…if you’re into paper books (and a hefty table) the DK complete world atlas includes a lot of geographic information, or if you prefer a dryer, more-authoritative presentation, the times world atlas is the grandaddy of the format…

…it looks like DK also offers a digital version of their previous editon…

(i have the millenium editions of both atlases, and they’re both fantastic tomes, but i think the DK complete atlas is more of what you’re looking for)

…back in the CRT era i needed at least a 72Hz refresh rate to not feel any discomfort; that doesn’t exactly correlate with framerates on modern LCD displays but i think it’s a good proxy for the threshold of general perceptiblity…

…are greater framerates smoother?..sure, especially in my peripheral vision, but 72 FPS is generally good-enough beyond which returns start diminishing…

…is there a good version of pilotwings64 available anywhere other than native hardware?..

…that looks pretty modestly-sized in the foreground, honestly…

(this is a huge red flag:)

…their first-generation cards were poorly received, but intel kept at it and recently achieved parity with low-end offerings from ATI and nvidia as a respectable selection for a budget machine…

…if they stay committed to the effort, i think intel might stand toe-to-toe on midrange cards within a generation or two…

…body count!..now that’s a name i’ve not heard in a long, long time: a long time…

…that’s the POWER model: the unit posted above is the consumer version with the SX chip, no math coprocessor and fewer function keys…

…look, they could either drop a redundant L or add another hyphen: i fully support their choice, although in my opinion a better solution would be to reformat 3M PF-5030 and avoid hyphenating either entry…

…here’s the thing most folks don’t realise: as a metropolitan area, austin skews far more conservative than san antonio…

As a European, the whole registering to vote thing is honestly one of the wildest parts of the US elections to me. It’s so unnecessary complicated and prone to errors/manipulation.

…what the electorate consider a bug the politicians consider a feature…

…from other fuzzy-liner crocs i’ve seen, no: it’s integral and just gets skanky…

…if you’re wearing socks you don’t need a fuzzy liner (and may as well wear full shoes)…

…crocs need ventilation holes or your bare feet will sweat and the shoes will get nasty…
