Well they actually say they're taking the lessons they've learned from Curiosity. Isn't that what you'd want them to do?

I just proposed a StackExchange site. Exciting! Come and post questions and things (otherwise it will die and I will be sad). http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/47750/audiophile-videophile?referrer=SHzswlFRlEiI_lvZ3KOFFQ2

I can only presume killing one of the most popular threads of the site was some kind of "admin joke".

I just watched the first episode of this. Fuck me! What a show!

Don't tell Ben!!!

This is right up my street! I have to say that I think Phil Hawksworth's talk was extended to about ten times the length it needed to be, but I agree that existing CMS's are of the devil. One thing I don't understand is how rare a simple and lean fully-bespoke CMS is. It's not that hard to construct something that only does what you need it to from scratch. And it takes no time at all, plus it doesn't lock the client in (any developer worth their salt can come in and make changes). That way your markup and design are fully protected, and site remains fast. In a perfect world, that would be the solution (except when it turns out a blog would do everything they require). Trying to convince a client of the evils of existing CMSs is an uphill battle though. I recently lost out on a big job because my rival pitcher convinced the client that a big complex CMS was exactly what they needed. *sigh*

Nice drawing! Horrible news. Good luck, Denton.

Damn you, toblix!!!!! I wonder if Telltale with rehire some community staff and spend a bit of money on QA now.

Not on consoles.

This might be of interest to some of you, others it might make seeth with anger. Either way, here's the automatically updating Idle Thumbs Achievements Leaderboard (360 Edition). Behold: The Leaderboard It's mildly interesting, at least. If you want to be added, then just friend me on TA.com. Trivia: AkuMifune has managed to get an astonishing 84% of all achievements from all the games he's played.

I stumbled across this Stack Exchange site for movies and TV. "Great", I thought, but then I started clicking around. If you ever want to be depressed about the state of comprehension for really basic things, you'll love this site. Ever NOT wondered about something really obvious in a film or TV show? You'll find someone who just didn't understand something extremely obvious, and often essential, to the understanding of a film. The unselected answer for this question about Prometheus particularly irked.

You beat me. I managed 8! Got to give props to Microsoft for merrily pointing out what a waste of money their services are, though!

Yep, that's exactly what I assumed. I was afraid on voting for more incase it undid my early votes. A simple note stating you can vote for as many as you like would be a Good Thing.

Through their pitches I found this thing: http://thewikigame.com - I love it!

How many votes do you get?

Awesome!

You're not alone. Batman has always been overshadowed by his villains once you get out of his origin story.

How did I not know about this?

Funnily I've just been watching THX 1138 and it's pretty much about this kind of thing. Some of its satire is really spot on.

I'm excited! I whole new sub genre I knew nothing about. Guide me!

It's never too early for festivities! (Unless you're Ben.)

Just don't tell anyone.

Can anyone translate the following message for me? I can barely make out the hand-writing, so it's difficult to even feed it into Google Translate. The letter has an interesting history, and I'd love to know what it says. Thanks!

I finally got around to clicking on that link.... WOWOWOW!

Man, I just watched that movie yesterday. Spooky!
