Assange is to blame as well.

To invoke Godwin's Law, would you have supported a leak of where all the Jews were hiding in Nazi Germany? Only the Nazis would be to blame for what happens next, right?

So the portion of the brain already known to be responsible for emotional response is tied to social achievements?

What next? Will they figure out that the cerebral cortex is somehow linked to getting good grades?

when you read TFA, it actually just sounds like he was screwing around and the child porn was more like "this'll get the dude in trouble" rather than "I have a private collection because i'm a pedo".

Either way, the dude was really stupid and deserves to get jail time for it.

It wasn't just stupidity. This dude was trying to ruin his neighbor's life and sent him to prison for death threats and child porn. I figure he deserves at least as much jail time as the neighbor would have gotten had the frameup not been uncovered.

So why the hell don't they just charge back the transfer to the scammer???

No. You want a jury of your peers, people like you.

If you're on trial for hacking and they weed out all the programmers from the jury, how the hell is that a "jury of your peers"?

I already had Braid and Osmos (cool game, though I gave up on some of the later levels), but I heard some very good things about Machinarium, which is why I picked up the bundle. Only paid $10 since it just had the one game I was interested in, and I don't feel bad about it.

Romeo and Juliet? How about The Bible? I mean that Holy Book has EVERYTHING that could possibly offend anyone. Why is it still being sold?

I remember playing Doom 1 on a 386 DX-40 with 4MB RAM, and it ran pretty smooth in low graphics mode.

The folding city in Inception looked cool. No one was surprised that they could get it to look cool. For that you'll still need to look at things like Avatar et cetera.

Actually the only special effect I was impressed by in Avatar was the way they did the 3D holograms in 3D.

There was still some scaling even in Morrowind, but only in regards to which enemies would show up - the same type of daedra would have the same stats, but if you're higher level you'll get a tougher type of daedra in the same ruins.

Hey, I actually USE the weather channel website, you insensitive clod!

The goodness is in the explicable combination of graphics, sound, writing, controls, UI, and that viscerally felt response to the user input. And that other thing you know, but I am forgetting.

I assume by "that other thing" you mean gameplay?

These mice are no more gay than using a surrogate mother is adultery.

They're combining DNA, not teaching mice to appreciate musical theatre.

So you're saying being gay is a choice then?

Dr. House's statement you quoted is irrational. Arguing with an athiest about [God|Santa Claus|Homosexual Agenda|Flying Spaghetti Monster]'s existence is like a 16th century man arguing with a man blind from birth about the existence of color.

Absense of proof is not proof of absense.
