I've received that book for Christmas last year, most people saw it and were like, "why would you want that?" Then started flipping through the pages intrigued and almost immediately found something they did when they were a kid, be it chemistry or whatever.

I also have the book Free Range Kids which is also anti-coddling. Good stuff.

Pee Tardier?

I actually thought Tea Bagger was mildly amusing, that's just ridiculously stupid. I bet you write M$, too?

I like the ones that sound legitimate, because it can be kind of fun investigating the background behind the phishing attack and seeing the new tactics being used to draw you in.

My wife and I were in Ireland for a week and I drove 1000 miles.

That's why a number of gaming outlets who normally wouldn't touch this stuff with a 100 foot pole jumped all over the fan translation of Mother 3 that came out a few years ago.

Nintendo of America just announced they will not be localizing Last Story, Xenoblade, or Pandora's Tower to the Wii, even though there was a huge campaign to bring them over.

This is pretty much the opposite of catering to the "hardcore" gamer crowd, though I guess they probably think that means people who play Call of Duty.

This was my main issue with the Motorola DVRs... FIVE YEARS AGO IN 2006!

How is this not fixed yet? Been torrenting tv shows ever since.

It's where you meet women and other interesting people outside your field of study. I liked my CS and math classes, but loved (and hated) some of my general education classes. And who knows, maybe you'll discover another passion and decide to leave CS altogether.

You're doing the joke wrong.

Doubt it, they just opened up an 800 number are simply accepting requests on targets. It sounds like they targeted Escapist because of their recent reporting on their Bethesda hack, but Minecraft and EVE just seems to come from boredom.

Well, note that it's Unreal Engine 2.5, and not 3 which has been out for something like 5 years now.

I saw this not having seen any of the previous X-Men movies and enjoyed it, found the story between Xavier and Magneto pretty engaging and liked the actors. There was a lot intentional(?) camp though and this has to be the first movie ever where I laughed out loud during a Nazi concentration camp scene. Multiple times.

January Jones is a seriously awful actor though. I guess the Mad Men writers are really good at hiding that, more props to them.

I went with someone who was at least familiar with the other movies and some of the comics, and it was cool asking him "so this guy with the chest laser is going to turn into the guy with the eye laser?"

Luckily no one reads the articles.

Yep, I've got two Xbox's myself running XBMC, great piece of software. Might try this out when I get a free weekend... sometime.

lol at the guy who thinks AIM is synonymous with using AOL.
