Something the article doesn't touch is on is that multiplayer online games are as much about the community as about the game itself. By that I mean that Steam keeps on trying to get me to buy CS-GO because I play Day of Defeat a lot (l

Half of which if not all of which had absolutely no bearing on whether or not Sweden were more or less likely to extradite Assange as a result of pressure to do so by the US. The "special relationship" is not a cover-all term for

Universities I have attended have procedures to deal with those instances in which everyone performs equally badly. It is almost always an indication that something else is amiss. Your answer has not convinced me that giving an A to a stude

I have never understood scaling, exams are meant to provide employers and yourself with a rating of how well you know the subject, ideally in comparison to everyone else in the field. So if you fail, but everyone else fails too, you get an

Great, but before people submit they should consider whether or not the page they are submitting is legible. If I handed you a printed manuscript that was hard to read would you persevere or hand it back to me?

"topics" is also how untested, new fangled things like book stores and libraries work. People are also far more likely to side scroll menus on mobile. I'm not saying it's great design, but the option is there. ITunes sto

Perhaps the term IxD (Interaction Design) would sit better with you than UX. IxD includes UX but also Info Architecture and has a lot more to do with structuring information before any 'design' takes place. In IxD you wouldn'

Poppycock. Your experience doesn't define me. Just as the author's tools for writing don't define my interpretation of the narrative.

Ok, the WWW then. Let's be honest, the average Joe didn't use the Internet before the WWW came along (at least not knowingly). But I should know better than to mix the two up.

True story: had an uncle who outperformed everywhere he worked. He faked his own references (via fax at that time) to get in the door, and when people made reference to university he just sidestepped the question or gave vague "yeah&qu

Just from anime and j-pop I know that Japanese wordplay is off the scale crazy to follow along with, especially when they mix it up with English. When I read Japanese literature in English it is important to read the author's notes or

Ovid's The Erotic Poems are a fine and entertaining example of Roman knowledge and wit with regards to human relationships. So much from 2000 years ago is still relevant today if you want to get some tail. Mixed with the continuous ref
