Your tricks list reads like the constraint list of your typical professional game reviewer. Depending on the game, many gamers complain that reviews are lackluster or misleading for missing much of the game content. That said, while I unde

Read the Snopes article in it's entirety. It's still "technically true;" it just didn't happen with deliberate or accidental intent. "Inertia" is the perfect word in such a case.

From the looks of the comments, as well as the frequent references to "written, but unread" memory, this appears to be a dump of the US release. The original JP release was for the Famicom disk system, which had more sophisticated music pla

Wrong; TTF (and most other vector typeface formats) support "hinting," which provides metrics to handle glyph appearances at small sizes on low resolution displays. The problem, however, is that hinting fonts takes extra work many designers

Read up on the "Uncanny Valley" again. Your example is one of the cases that lead to the development of the hypothesis in the first place. (The concept dates back to 1906 with a German paper.)

Dark Forces strikes me as an odd choice, since at that time period, LucasArts had in-house Mac porting developers. Dark Forces, Loom, and even Sam & Mac got classic Mac OS ports that supported better graphics resolutions than the DOS ga

If someone like me has somehow managed to cope with living in the US until middle age without being able to drive a car, going without a cell phone is a cake walk by comparison.

I was pretty much taught to never touch anyone in middle school. I attended a private school that assessed 15 “demerits” for Personal Contact Infractions. Really put a kibosh on my teenage and college years romantically and I am still pay

As a 38 year old bachelor, I wish I learned that lesson about fear in my youth, I was one of those “possessive assholes” due to being a Fundamentalist, and regret my social hostility to this day.

The problem with asking “Who would Steve hire?” is that the last time Steve picked a CEO, he brought in John Sculley to Apple, with his famous “sell soft drinks or change the world” pitch. And look at how that turned out… True, Jobs has wi

Nope. I avoided FB for a long time because of this, before family and career roped me into signing up for dummy accounts about a month ago.

While I never suffered the molestation, I can still relate to this guy. I also came from a fundementalist background that I’m only now coping with in middle age thanks to health consuling, a support group, and a family who have likewise for

I fully approve of your goal, but don't push too hard on it. I was a rather pigheaded kid, and would always push back against my parent's efforts to be more gregarious. (Because of this, I grew up very aloof and am now regretting it in mi

I think I see your point; when I was a kid I saw charts that handled them separately. (I think it was during Reagan’s or Clinton’s term that they got kerfuddled together.) But it doesn’t help matters that the terms “fruit” and “vegetable”

I’m going to have to plead some confusion or ignorance I here. I’m well aware that nutrition has become a political hot potato for the last few decades, but I’m trying figure out why you felt the need to bring it up in your response. What

His mention of formal methods is interesting, because up to at least as 2000, academia has tried to instill this in their students. (Or at least tried to instill in me and my fellows.) I remember being taken to task in middle school by my

One of the key points about Gruber’s article is that he actually wants the situation you are trying to avoid. Basically, he wants to see how many of his websites will present HTML5 based content if the website detects a missing Flash inst

I’m not sure that Kasparov (or anybody) has a right to criticize the rate of progress for the last few decades or centuries. Since the Renaissance, human progress has grown leaps and bounds at such an astonishing rate, compared with before,

This appears meant for use in Eastern Asia, where real estate (especially for farming) can cost dear in places. Also, I can see how this machine could be adapted to nurture other kinds of vegetables that might also help recoup the investmen

Kibo would scoff at such an upstart. The ’Net god is truly an Ancient One; he was posting to USENET long before Eternal September began.

Yes, but when I read that article, I thought, “That .sig is nothing ." Some of the stuff I’ve seen and heard about during my USENET days could bring you to tears. (Like the “Kibo Warlord” .sig mentioned here, for example.)

To continue citing those from my background, “value” is an modern invention of “intellectuals,” and therefore, either of the devil or a liberal plot.

A big deal with this may be due to upbringing and what part of the country/world you come from. While part of me dreams of being able to do this kind of work (I’m the exploration type), I can’t, since I can’t drive, limiting my searching ab

Articles like this only make me grumpy. I tried this game last year, but I gave up on it in disgust for being too hard. And now the developer is telling me that he made it easier than it could have been? Bah humbug! Still, these details may
