According to this article, the "Boskops" have been known about for decades. This author is simply revisiting a forgotten page in human evolution. While its a fascinating read, I wouldn't call it front page Slashdot material.

Unless one becomes addicted to the feelings it produces, either physically or emotionally. Then not doing it makes the original "Normal State" beyond miserable.

I was in a guild on Mal'Ganis that was one of the top in Alliance progression 05-06. We raided several hours a day and had 24 hour call lists for Green Dragon spawns. Quit after the expansion came out, too many lame changes to the game. Does /. count as meeting? o.0

Also, we put up with alot of gruff from the army of fat male nerds that populate most video games. Most assume that girls can't play as well as men, which is not particularly true, in my experience there are an equal number of bad female and male players. For me personally, I go out of the way to see that I'm not just mediocre at a game I love, but that I excel in it. That way, if someone says HURR YOU'RE A GIRL, I can say "So what? I kicked your ass last night in RvR"

You're an ignorant jerk. Many, many women are in the range of 5'7-5'10 and are athletic in nature, does that mean they shouldn't eat a 3000 calorie a day diet if their bodies need it? They would consume more than the average male 6ft tall with a sedentary lifestyle. There is no "general" statement when it comes to the dietary requirements of a female, and bottling it as "anti male victimhood" just shows your intelligence level.

Oh hi misogyny, how are you today?

Hi my name is Warmaster Horus, I have an army of super humans at your disposal sir.

Like Ebay? Since they only accept PayPal now, and no other form of payment.

Ah yes, the Call of Cthbooblu.

So basement dwelling scientists developed what body language is considered interpretable? Great, a whole legion of robots that interpret licking the Cheetos crust off your fingers before your code compiles as the universal signature of an Alpha male.

That run-on sentence from her blog is a fresh fish in a pile of cats.

I don't think that's a fair generalization to make. Typing faster at the speed of light takes quite a bit of cardio training, you know!

I can't reasonably see devices like the Kindle being nothing more than a technological fad unless the costs come down for purchasing a unit and subsequent books. Many users of said devices say they are flimsy and break easily, and several months ago there was the controversial story of the 1984 book deletions by Amazon: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/18/technology/companies/18amazon.html/. Why not just carry around PDF's of books you legally own on a Netbook?
