We get new games for old computers often, and in my particular case I'm a huge fan of the Oric-1/Atmos sytems from the 80's. These are similar in many ways to the Gameboy architecture, but were far more user-dependent in tha

Cue the difference between German, Austrian, and Hungarian drivers. Germans: can be very aggressive at times. Austrians, only if you're in the wrong lane. Hungarians: fear for your life if you ever try to overtake someone ..

Ah, but knife-wielding maniacs are a real problem in the UK. Knives should be banned in the UK.

I can defend myself against a knife-wielding maniac with a gun far better than I can defend myself against a knife-wielding maniac with .. another knife. So, just keep that in mind in the equation. Knife crime is absolutely heinous in the

I'm not equating anything with anything, you are. I'm just saying that banning guns doesn't solve the violence problem - it just makes it less politically sensitive, since guns can be used from a distance and invoke all kind

Wouldn't it be the case that adding Python won't deliver the performance needed? I think the choice of Lua is probably because it has to be performant.

Honestly, I can't fathom why you're being downvotes, and this is exactly the predicament I'm most concerned about, personally. Like, its a cool technology - sure. But has nobody thought of the militarisation of it? Sheesh.

Yes, of course. The irony is not lost; no matter what, you can't really erase yourself from existence. Facebook will, at least, maintain the shrine. Perhaps this is its true purpose - to remember dead people? I think it will become th

I sentence you to penance for your heresy. Please watch "Soylent Green" and "The Matrix" and come back with a good reason for why corporations should be allowed to commercialise death services. k'thxbai.

I don't think its a slippery slope - its more like the gaping precipice. Within a few generations, we will have members of society who believe such extreme manipulation is the norm. Well, its already here, anyway - but at what cost w

I wholeheartedly agree. It is my personal belief that anyone who dedicates their lives to war-making is separated from the criminal classes only by a very, very thin line: the piece of paper authorising their use of deadly force against oth

It could start a war with anyone without repercussion from the one true power that can stop all war-making: its people. It seems to have refined its ability to convince us of the need for war since then, however.
