   I prefer the version that appeared on The Mittani: http://themittani.com/features/largest-virtual-battle-ever a bit longer and more in-depth, but gives a great sense of scale.

   Eve has always been about the fascinating politics and stories that come out of them. Most of what kept me playing for years was the political intrigue and being a part of it.

   It happens at the federal level too. Lobbyist groups write the bills themselves and submit them to members of Congress in closed door meetings. Congress can then edit the bill, but they often just introduce it as-is. We only know this becau

   Windows 8. Touchscreen. It's not altogether unappealing, but I feel like its main selling points are aimed at the casual user who doesn't own a desktop or laptop already (or just have a work laptop).

   This is what I'm doing with the PS3. Looking to buy one right now so I can finally play (and own) all the PS3 exclusives that will only be available on PS4 via their subscription streaming service.

    That's not really HN's forte. You may have better luck over at the Motley Fool ( http://www.fool.com/ )

    Despite many hardcore techies (like us) dismissing the Surface, it's actually quite appealing for certain segments of the casual marketplace. That and the Xbox are probably the main (hardware) sellers.

    This is a great step towards getting more women involved in the startup scene. Thank you! Many people talk about the problem (myself included), but it's nice to see that some people are working towards resolving it.

    I didn't say there was anything military right-wing in them? I said his posts had the rhetoric of a militant cult. Some exmaples: > "An all boys class sure would be a breath of fresh air: it might be possible to focus on the ac

    I'm saying the way Animus9 'advocates mens rights' is equal to being a rightwing military cult person.

    I think you misunderstood my tone, which in hindsight I should have phrased differently. I was saying "Women aren't required to have kids... but this quote implies that all women have kids, which annoys me"

    Equality is definitely a goal, I think we should have more male nurses, but that's not really a priority when men are over represented in most of the higher paid fields (doctors, lawyers, CEOs .etc). Let's work on helping the more

    I'd say it's more like "I'm not racist! I adopted a black kid." The second paragraph was mostly fine but it did come off a little... unhumble. And humility is usually the tone you want when talking about how your co
