Killer story lines, character development, a few hours of play a day... I recommend Portal. It's short, but it kicks ass. Not many games have I considered playing through a second time immediately after the first.

To speak nothing of whether or not that is actually true, what is the problem with opting for cheaper hardware?

Well, it's a reference to Werner Heisenberg's principle, which is what is (I believe) referred to by Breaking Bad's Heisenberg, so they're sort of reference siblings!

I'm curious about this as well. I don't use the site, but I see a lot of hate toward it (much of it seemingly unexplained).

And people in those days didn't rely on that communication like many people do today. What wasn't a big deal hundreds of years, or even decades ago (perhaps even less than that) is a big deal today.

A question I have whenever I see this come up: do people who say this generally do their own personal code audit of the open-source tools they use? How can you trust anybody else to do it for you? Do you compile all of the code on your own?

For the same reasons that anybody should (or should not) care about what you think, I would imagine.

People sometimes spend much more time in airports than they'd like to for legitimate, non-interrogative reasons. Perhaps take into account authenticated activity, or lack thereof? Activate this special functionality when you anticipate

It would be nice if there were some sort of dead man's switch functionality in-case phone access was denied. I'm not sure exactly how this would work, but I think it's an interesting idea.

Good thing deleting the pre-installed Facebook application (if it's ever been used at all it was inadvertently) off of my Android phone is quick and easy, and doesn't require root access! EDIT: This is why we need sarcasm tags. No

I'm writing mine in C as well. I've never been too into web programming, but the lower-level stuff is quite interesting to me. Keep it up!

I wonder if this applies to me at all. I'm working a paid internship in the summer, and all of a sudden, no Stafford loans offered. Does a late FAFSA impact Stafford loans at all? I'm fairly certain I still made the deadline, but

Very cool. I've been doing the same thing lately, writing my own little web server that serves static files. It's been a fun learning experience!

"Like how videogame developers started shifting from DirectX in 2003 and many now write for open standards, like OpenGL & OpenAL?" Hey man, I'm working on it! Give me a break.

No kidding. It's always so tempting to jump in on these sort of "founder" things early, but $600 is not small change...

I wish that more people understood the difference between science and scientists. It is a shame that so many people give a bad name to science and the scientific method - the best way we know how to discover truth. It's engineered to
