- not as gory as Evil Dead II - Reagen Aug 9, 15:25

Taco Bell named in a 21-state salmonella outbreak. -- (link) - MojaveMeg Aug 9, 14:48 7

  - I'd be happy if most places did away with those things. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 9, 15:03
- The worst part of these things is how it can deprive regions of solid fast food options. - TFox Aug 9, 14:50 4
  - Taco Bell isn't a solid fast food option. ;-) - Krusty Aug 9, 14:52 3
    - Take that back. You take that back right now. - TFox Aug 9, 14:54 2

  - it's probably a first step before putting some kind of cap on contract lengths -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 15:26
- This is one of those "we pay you a zillion bucks and then spread it out over a bunch of years to make the salary cap" deals, right? -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Aug 9, 14:51 1

Bery, "money that was paid to the developers" by whom? -- nm - mara Aug 9, 14:39 7

  - CWAA -- nm - nubby Aug 9, 14:57 1
    - I don't see what cotton warehousing has to do with this. :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 15:05

    - I don't get how that wouldn't be a consumer. -- nm - mara Aug 9, 14:53 2
      - it's fake money that they earned by playing the game. They can still pay their rent. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 15:02 1
        
        (If your pow-pow-powerwheels jeep brakes down, you can still drive to work in your real car.) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 15:04
Aside: On the Google/Verizon announcement. The FCC regulates wireless a lot more than wireline. - Mop (223 lbs) Aug 9, 14:37 3
- I wouldn't agree that there is more than enough bandwidth out there for our current needs... the U.S. is pretty bad in this regard - stewie Aug 9, 14:53 2
  - Re:Metered usage. So be it. If there's real competition, it'll be a race to the bottom in terms of pricing. -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Aug 9, 14:54 1
    - Like the race to the bottom in cell phone plans? - stewie Aug 9, 15:01

what does xkcd stand for? -- nm - ceregon Aug 9, 14:35 3
- nmbl -- (link) - mara Aug 9, 14:37
- I have never looked into it. Maybe it was just the four-letter domain that happened to be available. :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 14:37 1
  - wikipedia has a blurb about it, but it's hardly enlightening. -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 9, 14:37

- That ad was a) odious and b) probably very effective. -- nm - nubby Aug 9, 14:40 1
