Rescue on Fractalus had one of the most genuinely terrifying game moments of my 'career'. I won't spoil it here, but you can probably guess what it was from the wikipedia page.

Chomsky didn't claim that all grammars obey the same word order I didn't get the sense that the article was saying he said that. It does seem pretty clear from the article that the research suggests that the Generative theory is wrong.

I'm not really an anarchist, but I do think it's important to distinguish between living breathing human beings, as opposed to the social and cultural structures we impose upon each other. I am not my property. You cannot 'violate' me by

Neither of those two acts violate individuals. 'Property' is merely a convenient fiction.

People say this every time Anonymous comes up, and guess what? They don't care. For the most part, the news media doesn't care either. Credibility is becoming an outmoded concept.

I don't see how. The only thing that prevents human intelligence explosion is limited intake rate of data (and possibly hardware, of which an AI's would presumably be more reliable).

That's what I thought this was :(. I wasn't aware that people had the opposite problem!

Same for me, <1 sec for the page, as well as the more entries button.

That ribbon is taking up way too much space considering 80% of it is disabled.

I find it interesting, but you're probably right to flag it.

Mozilla doesn't support Flash in its browser -- Adobe does. Anyone can write a plug-in for Firefox.

I mean it was definitely very cool, just too bad it wasn't quite seamless.

Unfortunately in the process of loading the pictures came up in color before the JS managed to filter them to greyscale :(.

Except when the unhappy people are so used to smiling that they just force a smile because that's what's socially acceptable. Default expressions are two-faced.

Oops, misread your comment and downvoted. Apologies.

Right, Chrome is basically the only program that auto-updates correctly. But in the context of the myriad other programs that try to auto-update and fail miserably, or worse, I think my point stands.

If we solve these two problems, by making all web based apps download their logic to the client, and by disappearing the browser entirely, then that's a native app. It's running locally and it's independent of the browser. I agree with yo

The typeracer test linked to elsewhere says I type around 70 wpm. I never learned the 'proper' way to type, though. I do some weird homebrew typing method that primarily involves my pointer and index finer on my right hand and my pointer fi

I'm not in the Apple boat, but I do know what you mean about the Google-iness of Reddit, and more generally the Google-iness of Google. Aside from google.com itself, there's something about everything they design that is very off-putting in
