What did they ask you to do, then?
As for that, well, I'm sure you can come up with something better than a fruit machine. Something that's sharp.

So here's a little rant/suggestion about the forums, I'd actually thought of it a while ago - who else finds it really annoying that once a thread hits page 10 (and hey, look where we are 
), you can only directly link to the first 10 pages, and the "Last Page." I'd much rather have a "First page" and then the last 10 pages, as it would do for you inside the thread, since that's where recent discussion is. At the least, having an option to toggle or customize might be nice - this is the type of thing that heavily plagues certain threads (who wants to see page 5 of some sports thread, when it's months old...) if there already is an option I'm missing I'd appreciate hearing about it.

I believe you're looking for the Site Feedback subforum.

We're making a multigamer, 8 games. Marketing wanted 10, but were told they'd have to wait for a next release. Marketing said "but we promised the customer". We said, "than you're a bloody fool that's what you are", since we told them they could have any number of games as long as it was lower than 9 and higher than 7 from the start. Now they expect us to port 2 more games in there from the German multigamer, complete with testing and peer review. In one week.
So I got together with the programmers, asked them to 'inject' a 'feature' which would crash each game after an hour. This morning our testers 'found' this unfortunate bug, so it looks like we have to spend the rest of the week bugfixing
So sorry those extra two games have to wait for next release
Fruit machines are quite big though. Should be rather painful.As for that, well, I'm sure you can come up with something better than a fruit machine. Something that's sharp.

I would like to rant about ignorance.
But I don't have time, since I must go to class and learn about feminist methods of art history. Yeah, you know that "please shoot me" face? Making it right now.

Heretic_Cata starts a thread how CFC turned him into a newt and no one posts "it got better"?
What kind of cultural backwater internet wasteland is this?

That article in aftonbladet was fun to read. Jimmie Åkesson is so damn stupid

Cells in a colorectal tumor with mutated p53 are cancerous. A colon is made of cells. Therefore, colons are cancerous. Sound logic.

To be fair, it's probably the first thing many of us thought, but the thread was already locked. So rant: Busy all day and didn't get check CFC earlier to get that in...

What he hell is wrong with our culture that people worship Miley Cyrus and the like and have no clue who the great scientific minds are? How many "average" people today know who Carl Sagan was, or Richard Feynman, or Niel DeGrasse Tyson? Who knows what our scientists are discovering today, even if it does make national headlines for a moment? How many people can talk for hours about the Steelers' defensive line, but don't understand how a simple prism works? Or can recite the lyrics of ever 50 Cent song but couldn't tell you the three laws of thermodynamics? And even among the "educated," how many know anything about epistemology?

I detest cheesy IM statuses.
You know, I didn't recognize Tyson's name as first but a quick search revealed that I've obviously heard of him - he's famous for efforts to "popularize science" though, not a bad guy at all, but it was kinda odd for you to mention him as a "great mind" and what that implies.

It's always been like that. Like any other culture cares more about science than sports and celebrities.
