I had a friend who needed to upgrade his math in order to qualify for a particular college program and asked me to tutor him. Ultimately didn't take very long because he showed me a sheet of problems he was working on and I noticed rig

Yeah, I have a wired XBox 360 controller that will be old enough to vote in a few months. That things has out lasted and been used far more than the controls of many more expensive and professional products I have encountered over the years

The textbook I read to study for my provincial Engineering Law and Ethics exam had a section on non-competes. It straight up said the vast majority of non-competes are not enforceable but warned that the more specific the circumstances desc

The article seems to forget that 'If it's stupid but it works then it isn't stupid' is a common saying. 'Dumb and energetic' is what I usually associate with the various stories my firefighter uncle or paramedi

You probably can live longer if you stick with coffee (black), berries (minus the food you put the berries on top of), dark chocolate (unsweetened), and wine (in strict moderation).

I'm going to assume these mini hippos are a cross between the standard African hippo and the North American House Hippo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TijcoS8qHIE

Probably more appropriate to compare it to the type of mecha Power Rangers use, except unlikely to be piloted by a group of people that both A) want to work together and B) want to work towards the common good.

You forgot the step where you use what you learned from the old stuff failing to develop even newer stuff, then hopefully you can give away the new old stuff and start the cycle again.

Ok, now you have me thinking about local people that would stand to financially benefit from internet porn being banned. Along the lines of does a internet porn ban drive more people to visiting strip clubs, etc.

Remove a few minor details and the story of Romulus and Remus becomes one of two brother founding a new settlement before having a disagreement that results in one being killed by the other. Add a few more details and who knows what the his

I would be more than happy to offer my services as a behavioral therapist for theoretical children in hypothetical situations.

At this point it will be a race see which virtual assistant can become universally useful first, and from what the article is implying Siri is not anywhere close to where they need it to be.

The other issue is just because something doesn't need to be hidden today doesn't mean a change in the political/social winds could happen that requires you to hide it tomorrow.

Also, winning wouldn't have helped their reputation. Chances are if you still believe in the election rigging story the results of this trial wasn't going to be the thing that changed your mind.

Yeah, but it's taken them the better part of a decade to do that. If they had been bought by Blockbuster they would have had access to people with the know-how and experience necessary to destroy a successful business quicker and more

I can tolerate them on written articles cause I can just speed read to the point but videos are a different story.

They made Second Life but without the ability to ruin a CNN press conference with flying human genitalia, which basically means they made a worse version of Second Life.

E3 has traditionally been aimed at the media. It's only been in resent years that the general public has been allowed in, and even that move was seen by most as a attempt to keep the event from dying.

Also, your not competing against every other publisher/developer for space in the news because everything is getting announced over a 3-4 day period.

As much as some openly oppose the idea, and others secretly do, we really are just a single species with fairly uniform tastes.

I'm sorry but because of the commas I can't help but read that first sentence as implying that Tax Haven 3000 is the program without any sort of erotic undertones compared to the very sensual TurboTax.

You make a good point. Probably better to just work a full two weeks at a location once a year than 1 day a month.

100% agree, especially if it is industry specific specialty software. Seen so many applications that have processes that only make sense to the people that developed it and are at best tolerated by the users that have no other choice than t

The other issue of course, is how do you de-jerkify your civilization without accidentally turning it into a dystopia.

Exactly, but at our current point of civilization we don't really have many options to deal with people that break minor social norms. The person the author of the article was speaking of has realized that if they hold their ground unt

I feel like the author just breezed past the most important line his ex-friend said: “Mostly everyone just backs down, but if I think they’re going to kill me, yeah, I’ll probably let them go first.” Ultimately these types of jerks only exi

I imagine the other issue with ranged weapons is that they require a consistent source ammunition. A single club can be used against many, a single arrow might kill one target. The 10x advantage drops disappears once you run out of things t

The big issue with ads is that only 'partners' are allowed to turn off pre-roll ads, and in order to become a partner you need meet certain requirements all based around getting people to watch your channel, which is difficult bec

The short series format works if you write a story that is suited to it. When done right it feels like the middle ground between movies and a full TV series, not as starved for time as a movie and moves much faster than a 12-24 episode TV s
