Werewolves might ALSO be an assemblage of fungi and cyanobacteria or algae. You don't know. I believe canonically, Orcs are, so there's precedence.

Eh; Debian has been around since '93. I'm sure there were dozens of non-mainstream OS's fighting for nerds' attention by 1999.

Maybe WE'RE the out-of-context problem, in a universe that hitherto now has not begun to think about itself. Organic chemistry that achieved enough chaos to begin giving order to itself? Sounds fake.

No COTS drone that can carry a realistic payload is going to cost $1000. They'll cost $5000-$15000 so will still be 6x cheaper than a Tomahawk ^_^

Yes. However most of the adaptors aren't analogue, or are universally so shoddily made that they are useless, to the point where your walking motion or road vibration inside a car will dislodge the connection.

USB-C headphones are either free and desperately shit or a very expensive mic+headset arrangement, not simply "headphones". And adaptors are universally unreliable. The one my samsung phone came with works with literally NOTHING e

I like the idea of an animal probing the floor for scent/sound/EM fields for prey, but you'd think we would have a seen a lot more of it if that were the case. The article didn't mention excavating the holes to see what

It's usually down to your lawyers and who the judge is on the case. It varies a frightening amount.

Curious. I'm on my 1st Corsair with Cherry switches. Bought it second-hand in as-new condition from a mate about 5 years ago, gave it its second clean last night, removed 1.5kg of cat fur, and it's as-new again. It's an absol

Puzzle games that reward hyperfocus and minimal-movement and minimal-thinking are always always going to be preferred to be played on other platforms than VR, mostly because of the convenience factor but also because of VR's anti-con

Happily, VR should work in the opposite direction to books, TV and the internet. In addition to some games involving intense cardio work, it also forces the brain to constantly judge distances and using your arms and hands to interact with

As someone that's worked in a few slaughterhouses and meat-production places, I'm very curious as to what you mean by "inedible". Off flavours? Old (actually toxic, or just near it) meat? Too much bread fill? Too much fa

I recall the Radeon 9800 Pro was being sold for about US$300 and came with Half-Life 2, which was designed for it. Doom 3 was out at the same time and was optimised for NVidia cards. It was a sort of "battle of the graphics platforms&

That's just 7 billion reasons why it can't (or at least, doesn't) scale larger than ~3lbs.
