I would say that the looking glass games (thief, systemshock, etc), and the games that they inspired are a good place to start (deus ex and its sequels, the bioshock games, everything by Arkane right now [Prey is great]). The witcher games

Not only that, but imagine how many services you and your family and friends use that could be compromised? It could end up costing you unless you and your family pull out of all your online services. The ultimate irony would be if your ban

I've thought of this for the shift keys, I find that certain key combinations that require shift are a lot more awkward for my hands to do and I wonder if year after year eventually that is going to give me arthritis or increase the ch

Good point. I don't think those issues cannot be resolved though, but it is one of those things that might not be as cut and dried as it seems. I wonder if biodegradable or recyclable bags made of paper or something else are the best o

I'm curious why I'm getting downvoted for this, it seems to be a pretty clear comparison to me.

First, are you seriously suggesting that they were popular for the reasons that you personally prefer them? Second, even if it did cause an outbreak what does that tell us about how endemic hepatitis was already? Is that not an issue alread

I feel guilty when I get a soothie somewhere and don't have my straws and decide to go ahead and get a plastic one because I really want to drink it on the way home. Definitely good to have though. You need a nice pipette thing to clea

Just to play devils advocate on this, this isn't very free market. How is this not clearly choosing winners and losers? What about the plastic bag producing companies and their shareholders? The government is choosing multi-use bag mak

OK, so how long do you wait? How sure of a thing do we need? By that logic we wouldn't do anything. Do you think coal got started with a sure thing? How is it we're more concerned with wasting some money than the possibility of ca

Carbon capture seems like a bigger wildcard to me than battery technology. Battery technology has been improving pretty steadily and will likely continue to do so. Capturing carbon from coal power plants adds cost to something that is alrea

They've had one for years too, I remember being pretty young and them being the only chain almost (aside from taco bell) that we could go to. It isn't a good veggie burger really, but at least they tried.

I thought they handled 1) by acknowledging that paying for "faster" service was really just paying for the service they used to get by default. They weren't really creating a fast lane as much as artificially slowing down the

Sorry, it appears I can't edit it now. This is one of many accounts, you could take your pick, but at this point to have hope that things are going to turn out OK you have to ignore expert opinion and listen to conspiracy theorists ess

How could this affect US solar prices/watt over the next 10 years or so? People seem to be taking a "this could be good in the long run" approach but there seems to be evidence that we don't have a "long run"

Its being downvoted because it brings nothing to the conversation.

I don't know why this got downvoted, this is a pretty common theme across America. Look at the Alabama senate race and pretty much every race in North Carolina for examples. This, as well as gerrymandering, has lead to the disproportio

I see your point. Is it possible to achieve that type of functionality with a reasonable expectation of security?

Would allowing organizations to manage their own key(s) suffice? If all of the stored data was encrypted by the users (even if it was a single key for a client organization), that would do a lot. You would have to compromise the private key

I used to like reading papers but its been quite some time since I gave myself the dedicated time to do this. I only allow myself 5 minutes on any topic before I'm off to something else. Someone posted the links to the papers and after

I'm less familiar with Spectre than Meltdown but part of the issue to me seemed to be that everything hinged on the principal of memory isolation. To the point where all of physical memory was mapped from the kernel which was mapped to

My question would be - how are you supposed to know when to replace the battery? You can judge your battery capacity fairly decently yourself - if the phone used to be at 40% after a day of hard use and now it barely makes it to bedtime you

Note: this doesn't mean despair and do nothing. I'm not saying this is what you mean't, just feel like we need to point that out because despair is very counterproductive. Also, this doesn't mean that climate mitigation

Was that part of the platform anywhere? I'm saying that the left has taken advantage of procedural stuff themselves (and therefore, haven't tried to fix the loopholes) and have for recent years suffered greatly because of it. I ho

I have to disagree, not because I want to though. One party has shown itself time and time again to put the interests of business far above those of the consumer and in many cases, act totally contrary to what opinion polling shows their co

It does remind me a bit of the trickle down economics. They are making it sound like that the only thing holding them back from massive innovation is profits lost to regulations and as soon as we get rid of those the floodgates will open -

Just to make sure I understand, conservatives said that it would be a disaster if the ACA signed into law? Assuming that is what you meant: just because that was not true doesn't mean that NN is not important. Granted, there is some fe

Don't forget that ISP's have been buying up media companies and vice versa, this hasn't always been the case. We now have a situation where huge amounts of media have moved from traditional networks (cable, UHF, satellite etc
