Playing devil's advocate here: Ultimately, isn't this like a form of story-telling? A lot of books claim they are based on a true story, faking the story online makes it feel even more real and as long as it isn't abused to extort money or

I think this is an expression that sums up how you view yourself in comparison to other people and how you think other people view and "rank" you. I can honestly not imagine that anyone has never had thoughts like this, so for better or wor

I realize I might have singled you out too much for what I personally generally dislike about the "blogosphere"; I am sorry for that. It was uncalled for. It is not a bad article and you obviously have all the right intentions, if anything

The problem with these countless articles telling you the "super-über-top-secrets" how to a "hacker/guru" is that the small companies who would heed such advice have much better ways of finding great people available to them - while the (bi

Don't read too much into your first encounter. Chances are you do need to "rewire" some parts of your brain and experiences to the physical sensation, so just keep at it. So far you have only been at it visually. Just keep at it and focus o

It is not "after playing a violent video game, 90% of the time the consumer will commit a violent act within 24 hours" yet people act like that and want to have video games banned...

Along those lines you couldn't possible dismiss the wild theory that it was actually toast or breakfast cereal that made them do it.

I think a big part for me is I want it to be a video game and NOT reality. That's also what ruined playing EVE for me; it is such an amazing game and CCP cannot be praised enough for working hard to stay innovative but for me EVE got way to
