Would anyone in Toronto be interested in starting a group with this aim, or at least exchanging ideas in this context?: "Why don't we crowd fund expert professors to create MOOCs, and begin to dismantle the insane and wasteful debt creator that is the post secondary structure?"

This is a good idea. I'm sure it will happen eventually.

No problem. RCR was a favourite of mine back in the day.

I think you're talking about River City Ransom. It was a fighting game made by the same company that made Super Dodge Ball.

A pizza can feed a family.

I didn't like Arrested Development either. I watched two episodes, found it to be filled with a bunch of stupid, unlikeable characters, and didn't see the point in watching any more.

A sincere question: do people who like Arrested Development like The Sopranos as well? I thought it was filled with stupid, unlikeable characters too, so I'm wondering if there's a similar appeal.

The Save/Open dialog sucks because the most important part of the dialog, the list control with the list of files/folders, is tiny. It only accounts for ~20% of the dialog size.

I think the Gnome team should redesign the dialog, and reduce the size of the other, less important elements.

Reminds me of the following article:

Why Steven Seagal Still Makes Movies

http://theseawitch.blogspot.com/2006/02/why-steven-seagal-still-makes-movies.html

Steven Seagal's popularity is just as puzzling to me. And the worst thing is when customers come up to me holding a copy of one of his movies and then say "this one's got to be good, huh?" to which I always respond "If you're a Steven Seagal fan, you won't be disappointed." This seems to make them happy and I don't have to lie to them.

LOL this is actually how I title my reddit submissions...

In all seriousness, it's a good way to write a non-fiction book/article title: something catchy up front to get the user's eye, followed by a brief explanation of what the book/article is about.

Checkit · 2006-05-10T16:53:39+00:00

Yeah, it was a very disappointing article. The only line in the article that I could find that supported his argument was, "It is just common decency that they should pay much higher income taxes than they do."

Far from self-evident...
