Aren't timelines one-way?

Or have you got that flux capacitor working?

Very sad. May he rest in peace.

It's not just this forum; it's from people who have to stroke their fragile egos, so they have to point out others' "mistakes." and then they can temporarily feel better about themselves. That happens in real life as well.
Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

Ok, so looking beyond the MacNN idiosyncrazies (sic), the lesson learned is that news here at the Lounge is not news 1 week after it was reported first in *ANY* source on the Intarweb.

I think its more that its not news if it has been posted before.

But I thought you weren't allowed to timeline unless you linked to the original topic.

That sure cut down on the timelines because people couldn't be bothered looking for the original.

It's cheeri-o (or cheerio, like the cereal), not cherry-o.

G'day!

That's a pretty long period for you at the computer.
One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

I hope you don't take critiques received on the forums to heart.

It's a wonder you manage to sleep at all, with all the nonsense you spew here.



I've been timelined, but by the Original Timeline™ which is way cooler.

Article
Police said that he had played an online game called Starcraft for 50 hours straight and that he was so engrossed in the role-playing blockbuster that he forgot to eat, drink or sleep.
Wtf?? It is not a freaking online role-playing blockbuster, it's strategy. The journalist is obviously an idiot.

Those crazy Koreans. The PC cafes I've been to have always been filled with people playing SC, and more recently WOW.
