I think there was a strong bias for people who see themselves as not conforming to the norm to vote, so the would have been over-represented in the poll.

There's people who don't identify as any gender. There's also physically interesexual people[1]. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex

Gender and sex are two different things. If she identifies with the female gender, well then she has every right to be called a girl.

Maybe you can have both a Li Ion and one of these, and you only sue the LiIon after the graphene one is depleted. That way, you can recharge quickly to a fraction of total power, and optionally wait longer for a full charge.

Well, the graphene seems easy enough to manufacture. What are the obstacles to start using this technology right now? What is still missing?

How come her rogue has 16 int and a +5 modifier? This smells fishy. She also added her whole ability score instead of her ability modifier to her saves. I don't know if I can't trust her with my money if she can't fill a character sheet pro

But the fact that it's illegal has wider implications than the prosecution of the infringing person. For example, it becomes hard to distribute tools to remove DRM, should someone build them. Thus, it is unfeasible that DRM removal could be

DRM may be easy to break, but breaking it is illegal under the DMCA. And even if it's not a crime normally prosecuted, that's a very big problem.

Sim City 4, which I think was the only previous one that actually modeled traffic, had some congestion issues. I don't remember them being as bad as this, however.

If you send a small amount of bits over the network, the amount of responses you can get is commensurately small. So if you aren't sending a lot of bits, it would be possible to simply have a local mapping of inputs to outputs. There is a c

Memory is cheap in the the first world. I live in Argentina, which is not a particularly poor or undeveloped country, and my 8GB of RAM are almost impressive. I know of no one who has 16 GB, and a few of my friends have 8. Most people I kno

EA Labels president Frank Gibeau has bassically stated that they won't make games that aren't in some way multiplayer[1]. This doesn't strictly mean that they won't make a game without a single-player part that doesn't require a connection

Correct me if I'm wrong, but what's inconsistent there is not boolean evaluation, it's number to boolean conversion. 1 == true and 0 == false are pretty standard, but that doesn't mean 0 and 1 are booleans.

I stand corrected.

I did the exact same thing your daughter did, except i "only" deleted some random files on the System32 folder. Windows didn't stop working, it just became strangely unstable.

As an aside: down-vote on HN isn't for disagreement. It's should be used when you think a post doesn't add to the discussion. The fact that you are giving an interesting counterpoint, I think, shows that the post isn't worthy of a down-vote

EA is offering refunds but only in some cases, with a very haphazard criteria: http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18gs2vgs50fjijpg/original.jp...

If the reviews and reaction to the last Medal of Honor are anything to go by, people are finally getting tired of that old rehashed formula. The next CoD may not be as successful as the previous installments were.

How is the algorithm that generates the digits of pi a compressed form of pi? It gives me all the information about the number in finite amount of time. In randomness theory, the definition of the most compressed form of a sequence S is, gi

by Fargren 14y ago
No. We can't. If the algorithm that generates the sequence is simple, lets call it algorithm X, then a concise way of expressing the string is "the output of algorithm X". That expression losslesly compresses the output, and it's just a few

Thank you; your minor nitpick doesn't seem minor at all. It was keeping me from noticing I don't see what the problem is. The movement here is deterministic, it's just hard to predict. I don't see the paradox at all.

Or the large amount of bugs. Or the lack of a save & load feature. Or the impossibility of customizing the starting terrain. Or the severe lack of information the game gives you (seriously, were are all the graphs?). It's a step back on

I wont argue that private college in the US isn't brokenly expensive for most mayors. I'm not even saying that college is a good idea for most of the population anywhere. What I am saying is that for some important fields of knowledge that

No, it mustn't be transmitted for pay. In Argentina, for example, public college is good and free. More importantly to your question, teaching a hard curriculum to a lot of students at the same time is a hard problem, and exercises with dea

Just to be clear in case anyone doesn't know: while Steam offers DRM, it's possible to distribute games through Steam without DRM, and many developers do so. The DRM part of Steam is optional for the developer.
