How is it that Steam manages to avoid yanking games from people's libraries even after the games are delisted for licensing issues, etc? I have multiple games that you can't "buy" anymore, but Steam doesn't stop me

Carmack is a godly programmer, but he's largely a technical guy. Everything he releases is a feat of technical engineering ("real 3D!"; "curved surfaces!"; "realistic lighting!"; "the Megatexture!&quo

The frustration, I suppose, is that the government doesn't seem to demand this level of scrutiny to take my money, in the event that I owed on my tax returns for that year. But when they have money to give to me, suddenly it's 1

My original comment was more along those lines, but then I did a quick Wiki refresher on Chariots of the Gods (possibly the origin of the popular "Ancient Aliens" push), and noted that the author included Stonehenge among his ex

"I personally can't conceive of how one might built this, and I must be a million times smarter than people 4500 years ago, ergo people didn't build this." is how the Ancient Aliens theory always sounds to me.

Who said it was bad? I thought we were all pretty much in agreement that it was good, and the only thing holding it back from wider adoption into e.g. the Linux kernel was the poison-pill of Oracle's ownership and licensing.

What I found amusingly about that paragraph is that the author laments encountering "the crackhead" while paying exorbitant rent. That implies the crackhead can also afford said rent. In which case, they have just as much right to

I held off on buying it for many years because of the chorus of people saying, "Once the Switch 2 comes out, we'll get a new one!" (the line of thinking being that the Nvidia Shield used the same custom SoC as the Switch 1).

Of the cartridge, yes. As do about 58 million other people. Not sealed in box, no. But usually a product going for a price like this is predicated on rarity, not just historical value. That's why Detective Comics #27, Action Comics #

These decomp projects are amazing. Comparing playing Twilight Princess in Dolphin (which is already an impressive feat of engineering) versus the Dusklight decompilation, it's like night and day. I'm also really looking forward to
