please take the time to break through the very steep learning curve to give this game a fair shake I don't know, I don't think we have the same attitude towards games. I already spend hours a week sitting in front of a computer doing real

Key bindings is the least of your problems. If you want to play Nethack well (ie with any chance whatsoever of ascending), you'll need to read hundreds of pages of FAQs to understand exactly what the hell is going on. And once you've read

I assume it'd need to be a constitutional change rather than a legislative one, otherwise they could just rescind the law anyway. Which reminds me of one of my biggest objections to the US constitution: constitutional amendments are done si

Perhaps, but what's the cost of "fuck it, we'll just build a replacement Hubble" in Shuttle mission equivalents?

aka just about every government project ever. Or at least in the last forty years.

The 9x return is nonetheless unsourced and likely to be the results of some fuzzy accounting.

Since you'd need to put all this stuff in place before the event you want to see actually occurs, wouldn't it be easier to just break out a video camera and record it?

There isn't any research, but only cuz it's damn impossible. The number of photons ever emitted by Earth in the distant past which are gonna ever come back to Earth is... very very small.

Which is larger? The number of people who would object to "what is your gender" on weird-ass gender politics grounds, or the number of people who would object to "how do you wish to be identified?" on the grounds that it's ridiculous politi

in real life we don't walk around with our state sanctioned gender on ourselves and are free to project the gender we wish others to see If you're being sarcastic, it's not obvious due to the fact that some people really do believe that

It doesn't matter whether women are at actual risk; it's about the perception of risk. And what proportion of 'em perceive this risk when filling out a little box on the internet? You don't start a social network by alienating people, re

It's strange to think that in fifty years of manned spaceflight, NASA has only ever built four types of spaceship: Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and Shuttle. The Shuttle had a good run. It was both technically awesome and in many ways ridiculous

Have you noticed that nobody apart from anti-war-on-drugs activists has actually used the phrase "war on drugs" since, like, 1985? It might be time to update your terminology. It was never a particularly good metaphor.

Sigh. This is the fourth story on the front page on the theme "Here's something to be outraged about, blah blah!"

I'm rooting for it for rather more personal and selfish reason: 1. I'm a shareholder in GOOG 2. All the Facebook employees I've ever met have been kinda annoying, so I don't want to see those individuals get rich.

I'm sorry, we only accept bids in dollars, not joule-dollar-seconds, which is what $h would be.

So if we discovered the last Tasmanian Tiger out in the wild somewhere then it wouldn't count as a species any more because it's the last one and... aww, this is too nitpicky a semantic debate even for me.

I realise that it's mandated by law, but... damn that's some refreshing honesty. I feel cleansed just by reading it.

Don't VCs publish lists of the companies in their portfolio? The first part is sensible, the second part sounds a bit paranoid. I've never heard of a VC funding a company that competes with another one in their portfolio, just to sabotage i

Well, the word "hangout" doesn't really jump out as meaning "video chat" to me.

Except terrorists aren't any more rational than the general public are (hey, some would argue even less so), and it's the terrorists who keep on trying to target the planes, not the subways, at least in the United States. If there were a se

Y'see, this is where the argument turns into hyperbole. Airport security does, in fact, make it much harder to carry out an attack on a plane. Maybe you can sneak a blade through, but you're not getting on board with a gun. Maybe you can st

If you were a teenage girl, you'd think this was the awesomest thing ever. (Or, y'know, whatever the translation of "awesome" into teenage girl at the moment.)

So... how much of the company are they going to sell? Or haven't they announced this yet either? A $1 billion valuation would seem awfully low, since last I heard they have multiple hundreds of millions (possibly half a billion) in revenue.
