I would disagree. I think the personal commuter vehicle will move to an electric power system if Tesla (or their competition) manages to scale down price and ramp up production. I think heavy work and utility vehicles, however, will rem

That's probably purely because it's a game from Notch. This doesn't seem to have the same kind of (apparently) universal appeal as Minecraft, and I predict a much smaller player base. Not that I'm sure Notch cares, considering the money he

No, but cases of actual misogyny do supersede the need to make note of potential maybe misogyny due to omission during a personal anecdote. In other words, don't cry wolf. I am supportive of the cause and I'm getting annoyed at seeing it t

The speaker obviously had personal experiences involving teenage girls when he was younger, and related it back with a personal anecdote. Calling him (or the analogy) misogynistic is incredibly loaded, and seems more a knee-jerk reaction t

It's obviously a (weak) personal anecdote. To expect everyone's personal anecdotes to contain a gender-neutral worldview compatible with the latest revision of social progressivism is unreasonable at best. To then accuse that person of mis

Speaking as someone with over six figures of student debt (doh) and trying to do a startup at the same time, I'll say this much: I will, so long as I am as far in debt as I am, never go without a good paying day job. This means I am restri

That's why we have a federal court system, right? If areas outside of Arkansas have a problem with what Arkansas is doing to their air, they can produce evidence in a court of law and put a stop to it. If the areas outside of Arkansas have

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series is a standout. All the rough edges just make you love it more... when you're not bleeding to death in an irradiated sci-fantasy anomaly minefield.

Because most games on Steam will still only run on Windows. Until game developers take up the charge (which Steam on Linux might encourage), it's just a window (no pun intended) into what could be.

Don't worry, these cameras make millions of dollars in revenue on a yearly basis (55m per year, in the case of D.C.). Oh, sometimes, maybe, depending upon who you ask and which study you are citing, they sometimes reduce accidents by some

Germany is a wonderful cherry-picked example, but it is hardly the only country in Europe to pay for higher education - many of the others aren't in such great financial shape. http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1976724,00.htm..

Correct. Assuming 100 employees at capacity, they went through over 200 new employees a year, meaning the average employee stayed for around 6 months before leaving. As far as I could tell, there was a core 5 ~ 6 people who stayed on and h

The nice thing is that because of the MIT license, those coding up their own engines can borrow missing pieces (such as navmesh generation, pathfinding, animation, etc.) from Torque. I really like this move. Guess it's time to start wearin

I think he made a promise to close Guantanamo without thinking it through. Then he changed his mind. The fact is, when Ron Paul (or someone like him) says he will close Guantanamo Bay, you know they will close it, by executive order if nee
