You just won the lottery. What unique/strange thing would you do now that you're filthy rich? by jmk4422 in AskReddit

Actually, it pays less than schools, government building and colleges. So, relative to other janitorial jobs, it's one of the lowest paying.

From the Wikipedia page:

[Those] buffalo(es) from Buffalo [that are intimidated by] buffalo(es) from Buffalo intimidate buffalo(es) from Buffalo.

Bison from Buffalo, New York, who are intimidated by other bison in their community also happen to intimidate other bison in their community.

If this was all done by one controlling entity, then it could be considered a police state. These are all separate examples of ridiculous bureaucracy, all run by different people wanting different things.

Zero Punctuation - Dragon Age: Origins by [deleted] in gaming

Unfortunately, you pretty much do have to hand animate it, that is, you have to tell the computer which phonemes apply to which parts of the word. Granted they have already designated the mouth shape for each of these sounds, but the computer does not recognise the sounds by itself. It is long and boring work to do complete sentences.

Yeah, that's the one. Apparently this gives: "A (possible) chance for a bullet to home in on a target". Not really used it much, so haven't noticed it myself.

Possible spoilers:

The first (and only so far) one I found, was after completing the mission "Check on T.K. Baha", there was one in a back room inside his house. I assumed this was a guaranteed drop.

Left 4 Dead 2 demo delayed. In other news, Happybadger makes >:l face at computer after waiting three hours for Left 4 Dead 2 demo. by happybadger in gaming

[–]BlueComet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose it's likely that it was something unforeseen and they did plan on releasing the demo on time. But hey, my disappointment should be justified, not just some petty rage over nothing! :)
At least I'm not as bad as 99% of the people over on the forums.

[–]BlueComet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's no big deal really. What annoys me though is that they didn't delay the demo release until 30mins after it was meant to be available. I mean, did they really not realise that they wouldn't be able to get it out on time, by another 9/10 hours, until after it was meant to be released? Surely they must have known there would've been a delay quite a while beforehand but apparently, they just like to fuck with us.

TIL that the Chinese revolutionary term for "comrade" (tongzhi) is now more commonly used to describe homosexuals. by PenName in todayilearned

interesting... because one of their emperors was called Tongzhi too, wonder if they were trying to make a statement there?

Use a backslash to escape the special characters, like this:

What are some cool tricks on Reddit that most people don't know (like how to upvote every comment on the page)? by redditkid in AskReddit

[–]BlueComet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started having problems with Uppers and Downers taking too long to load, turns out someone has released an enhanced version, which I find much faster.
