    On the opening day of the Wal-Mart I work at someone had mispriced PS3s as $99. We honored the first customer to notice the error then immediately changed the labeled accordingly.

    They haven't fixed the label yet. My friend bought one at $40 8 hours ago, and it's still $40. I'm assuming they're just going to cancel them en masse. They'd lose a ridiculous amount of money if they actually honored it.

    Huh. In the UK they would have to honour that. One of my mates got a snazzy phone for free with a £0/month contract because of an error. He made sure he had loads of screenshots of the price and they've had to honour the price that was there when he ordered it.

    I'm pretty sure they don't have to do it here. Amazon says:

    ‎"Despite our best efforts, a small number of the items in our catalog may be mispriced. If an item's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation."

    Besides, the 60GB PS3 is out of stock and isn't manufactured anymore. So... :v:

    FUCK! My phone broke, its 5 years old so I'm not too bothered but its super inconvenient because its also my alarm clock and I don't have a backup.

    Gonna have to go drop some money on a new phone, do they still sell old generation Iphones? Been wanting to get one for a while but I'm not psyched about dropping a ton of money on the latest thing.

    Facebook is sort of like WoW at this point; there are other sites, sure... But when everybody you know uses that one, it makes it hard to have fun with your friends if you DON'T use the common one.

    Also, any site that figures out a cool feature will just have said feature stolen by Facebook.

    So it's exactly like WoW, come to think of it.

    If TRON had to lose best score, The Social Network was a good movie to lose it to.

    Trent Reznor pulled off one amazing score.

    nights are fucking terrifying, as people have to stop working outside and rush to the nearest shelter

    my house is in a fairly central location so i entertain night guests frequently. I'm thinking of expanding my property and setting up a full inn.

    see, you can see people's names floating above their heads, even through blocks at a distance, so you can tell when someone isn't very far from you

    so i'm in my house, smelting iron because the daylight is winding down, and i see two guys running past and i'm like "my... my god, they'll never make it to the lighthouse!"

    i run out onto my balcony and i'm like "OVER HERE! SHELTER!"

    we shared cake and i resupplied them with arrows as they stayed the night

    when dawn came, they left me some lapis lazuli gems as thanks, and went on their way

    I wouldn't mind feature stealing. Like, a lot of feature stealing. How come I can't folder my news-feed by different groupings? Oh wait, I did, and then they took that away. Because... it let people be more efficient about their use of the site? I don't really know, but whatever it is I don't like it. How come I can't look at just status updates if I ever like doing just that? No good reason. Every few months the site loses some features and gains ad-space.

    Those old school martial arts films with bad acting and minimal storylines, but tons of fights that seem to break out for no reason were so entertaining when I was a kid.

    Trying to re-watch them these days though... Ugh. I do like action, but there needs to be some sort of coherent story or I lose interest.

    Also, they seemed to recycle the same three similar plots/settings;

    Martial arts champs are invited to compete in a secret competition which is deadly because it's actually fights to the death and/or someone is murdering the competitors.

    Martial arts champs are kidnapped/forced to compete (see above).

    Martial arts unknown wants to compete in secret competition but has to find a way in (see above).

    Those three plots are like 50% of the old martial arts films right there, with minimal, if any variations of style, settings, themes and sometimes even characters.

    This reminds me that I really want to track down a copy of Frank Dux's "autobiography" sometime because I hear it is the most hilarious horseshit. Like, it's full of stories of him walking down a Hong Kong street and bam, ninja attack.

    I cannot remember the name, but the Hong Kong director who basically made his name by re-editing older films with a couple of new actors and a different plot made some hilarious films. Maybe not intentionally, but when you have new (often really bad) actors trying to insert themselves into an existing film the result can be great
