Even in the Big Bang Theory, we are reminded that negative reinforcement is faster and more effective than positive reinforcement or otherwise. And yes, sometimes a bit of fear needs to be instilled, even if it is a baseless one. Respect, especially towards parents, is an equal balance of fear...

The sound of my mother's voice; it's a weird kind of whiney voice. Moving out helped a lot, but I still feel like the bag a douche came in for nearly popping a nerve every time she spoke to me.

The Nebuchadnezzar (from the Matrix) Pain in the butt if they charge by the letter to put it on the side of the boat.

I'd probably do like most of the Meh-he-canos do here in the South: car horn = door bell. Most of the time if you try the door bell or knocking the illegal ones think you are immigration and the rest just ignore you until you switch to the car horn. My father taught a police officer that...

THIS. Definitely this. Game took the best of Halo, the best of Star Wars, took away the idea that a Star Wars had to give you a lightsaber to be awesome, and then left us with a plot just begging for a sequel, though not as brazenly as did Halo 2. Not to mention that it had some of the best...

Coming from an ex-console diehard, the thing that won me over (finally) from a joystick to keyboard/mouse is when I picked up a copy of Gears of War for PC and a Xbox360 controller for PC. One day I accidentally forgot my controller, and I started playing with keyboard/mouse. At the time, I...

I don't see anything wrong with it, but it may open up a whole can of worms for fans and family of the deceased actor/actress if said person is not portrayed how they felt he/she should have been portrayed.

Sorry, the Internet sometimes rubs off on me. I'm usually a grammar Nazi. I guess I need to head for bed.

Simple bit of logic is answer to thread: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Therefore, when in America, do as the Americans do. So, if you know English, speak it. If you are a resident or are an illegal resident, learn English. Besides, English is the working language of the world, and of...

Megaman Legends 3. Because how can you live up to your predecessors if the company cans you? In the event it does someday release, I'm sure it will be as good as Legends 2 or better.

The XPS. All that hardware on the XPS is much better than the Alienware, without the Alienware price bloat. Typing from a 3 year-old XPS right now, I can say that they are a fairly good set of laptops with _surprisingly_ satisfying hardware under the hood. Don't forget to tack on the longer...

Palm Pixi Plus. Wimpy name, but a kickin' phone. It runs on webOS, which, speaking from experience, is better than Android or iOS. I mean, a LOT better. Also, Palm/HP is a-ok with homebrew, and says that homebrew apps won't interfere with official apps.
