A societal construct used to control people? What are you 15? I'd love to see the look on your face when you try and talk a girl you're interested in, into this.

You're also wired to pee where you stand. Pee in the middle of my living room and see how far that argument gets you.

They deserved it because they cheated on their spouse. Which is morally wrong, everywhere. This isn't a religious thing... it's wrong like "Lying" or "Stealing" You're harming another person for your own personal transient gratification.

Most of the accounts were verified. People are already going through the data. You didn't HAVE to verify the email, but most people did anyway.

But they did allow you to verify and encouraged it. There's an account verification field with Y/N in it. Most of the accounts are verified. Nice try though!

Well, the obvious thing to do in this thread is to rave about your favorite game right?

I have a 7yr old, so we needed to find a game we'd all like, and the whole "who wins?" bit turned into an issue with a kid that age.
We finally stumbled on "Castle Panic" which is quite frankly an amazing game.

It's actually incredibly fun despite being cooperative. Everyone gets to talk about how they should approach defeating the monsters. Kids get super excited when they kill monsters. I highly recommend it. And yes, even adults enjoy this games.

The problem is, they don't care about kids seeing inappropriate material... Politicians are, after all, sexually abusing minors left and right in the UK.

Unemployment too high? You lost your job? What are we going to do about it? Sir, were you aware that your 11yr could possibly be addicted to Tentacled midget porn? You didn't even know that was a thing? Here are some shocking pictures. Go argue with your neighbors and leave us alone.

Bascially Air conditioners only use electricity in 2 ways. A motor in the compressor, and a motor to drive the fan. AC motors are MUCH more efficient than DC motors. Any industrial electric motor you find will be AC. This is a step backwards.

You're forgetting that AC is significantly more efficient at driving a motor than DC is. Go look at any good power tool, washer, drier, they all require dual phase AC for a reason.

This is a step backward.

Neither of those OS's, by default, farm you for information. Google does offer you lots of services you really want in exchange for letting them farm you... But there are alternatives and you're free to chose them.

It sounds like here, Microsoft is doing the farming at the OS level. I don't know if that's true or not, I'll wait to hear more. But if it's true, this version of Windows is DOA. It could have been the one toehold MSFT could have had to fend off Google and they're throwing it all away.

Right, the shooters problem is that he talked to them or the police. He should have shot it out of the sky, disposed of the shell, not answered the door and called his lawyer. Never talk to the police, never admit guilt.

It's bird shot man. It can literally lad on your head and it wont hurt. I've done it.
People that don't shoot shouldn't talk about shooting.

The point of Steam Machines is to get rid of Windows and MS... so how does Windows 10 help with that?
Also... you can already plug your video card into your TV. You've been able to do that for over 10 years with a $10 extra long HDMI or Display port cable.
If you want it wireless, there are devices that do that for about $100
If you want a real "Stream" or shared desktop, Chrome Cast can do games now and the dongles $29

Also... this story hit a day or two ago... on pretty much every "Pay to play" tech website out there at the same time. In other words, this is a paid Microsoft commercial we've been duped into reading. Thanks Slashdot, you're really going down the tubes.

...as opposed to an electron microscope.
An electron microscope "Senses" things and then creates a false image representing those things so you can have an idea of what it's sensing. You are not actually "Seeing" the thing in the microscope. With a perfect lens, light bounces off the object, passes through the lens and enters your eye. You are seeing the actual object, and not a false image of it.

The Meta-material happens to be transparent aluminum (and silver) so...
