How high are Ered Lithui? Can the eagles fly that high? Even if they can, there's still the question of whether a hobbit can survive at that altitude?

Congratulations! Looks even nicer than "3D Logic" by Alex Matveev [1] and has an advantage of being playable on mobile platforms. [1]: http://www.kongregate.com/games/AlexMatveev/3d-logic

"A man who has no fear has lost a friend." I like that quote, where's it from? My google-fu can't find anything like it.

That's disingenuous. The algorithm selects words, not meanings.

There's some good advice in there, given with a horribly wrong intention. The good advice is to repeat the manager's argument, the way you understood it. However, if you do it to "loosen them up" and make them "more willing to work with you

But there's clearly a culture that needs to be attacked, and if one of the elements of that culture is that remote workers ARENT LOGGING INTO THE VPN then maybe Yahoo shouldn't have remote workers for the time being. Wait, so instead of r

I don't know about you, but I got into computers when I was 7 years old, precisely because it was something anyone could tinker with, if they wanted to invest time and effort in it. Yes, I know, years have passed and software is more comp

Too many words to express a worn out platitude: "See every day as an opportunity to learn something that you didn't know yesterday". Here's the only part of the article that I really agree with: "Don't waste your time hating your job and do

Also, isn't this 'degrading porn' meant for people who identify with the person being degraded? I'm not sure I understood you correctly. Are you suggesting that "Hot Japanese Girls [sic] gets fucked and abused in every way" is marketed pr

by CodeMage 14y ago
Why on earth would you draw the conclusion that I came up with that because I search for that kind of porn? Let me put it this way: if you go to a store looking for chocolate and there's a lot of products with hazelnuts and you remark o

I can't speak for other people, but I can offer you insight into how I think about these things. It's not that I ignore the frequent cunnilingus in porn, it's that I don't see the need to mention it because I don't look at porn as an equati

This is certainly an interesting study, but I can't help being seriously disappointed by this part: Sometimes when I hear people railing against porn, declaring it as the downfall of society, a poison infecting masculine minds and demeanin

Please explain to me how boys do not hear sexist jokes towards men but girls hear sexist jokes towards women. Matter of scale, as before. For every sexist-to-men joke I've heard as a kid, I've heard more than ten sexist-to-women jokes. I

by CodeMage 14y ago
No, it can't be easily applied to men. Where it falls apart is the "imagine hearing sexist jokes since you were a kid" part. Our society is not equally sexist to men and women. Not even close. I recommend reading "The Distress of the Priv

Ugh. That's like saying that high-level programming languages "don't count" because you can do that stuff in assembler.

The question is, what classes do that module systems don't? Modules (at least in Python) are singletons.

Sure, there should be room for jokes of all kinds: at a standup comedy show, in private among friends and family, etc. We "all" laugh at jokes that are funny until we hear one that "isn't so funny" because it targets something painful in us

There's some interesting discussion on Scalzi's blog, too. Here's a bit of information I found rather interesting and potentially useful (from the comments section): The mark was registered for US Class 22 – games and such – and is most sp

If it's premeditated -- as in, you knew your actions were going to destroy an industry or economy -- you damn well deserve to go to jail for it. Can you please explain to me why the scumbags who were responsible for the housing disaster des

Your comment is the most surprising thing I've read the whole week. The surprise is due to the fact that you led with a statement I wholeheartedly agreed with (no, it's not okay to generalize that we're all sexist) and that set up an expe

Impossible by definition. Any adult can find scores of loopholes in anything that is codified in a way so simple that a 5 year old can learn it in under 5 minutes. If your law is riddled with loopholes, then it can't be "strict" for any def

Depends on what you mean by "works". If you want it to have any effect whatsoever, you have to follow through and actually turn off the game. And you'll have to do so until the lesson sinks in. And you'll have to deal with the kids that are
