'What kind of system leads rich tycoons to become so callously indifferent to the lives of "little" people?'

Rich tycoons callously indifferent to the needs of "little" people is a perfect description of the former Soviet Union and China as well, so it isn't the system, it's the lust (of some folk) for excess and power, which exists in all political outcomes.

Video Emmett Plant Talks About the Paper-Based RPG Game Business (Video) 64

Emmett has a good rep as a video game music composer, and he's worked on a number of Star Trek-related projects, including the recently-released audio book, How to Speak Klingon: Essential Phrases for the Intergalactic Traveler. Emmett freely admits that he has no experience with RPG games. The closest he's come was running a major D&D meetup some years back. But he has experience and contacts developed from many years working online not only within the Star Trek community but (years ago) on Slashdot and as editor for Linux.com. And, he says, when he was a teenager he ran comic book stores. So is Emmett suited to run an RPG company? Possibly. He's actively looking for games to publish. Sales aren't going to start for six months or so, so there is no website for Arrakeen Tactical quite yet. Until there is one, you can contact Emmett about his game venture by emailing angelaATclockworkjetpack.com.

Comment Self-correcting, though.... (Score 1) 281

When science is settled as a framework (evolution, for example), comments about the mechanisms are always fruitful. Any comments that assault the framework in a "Flat Earther" kind of way is really the author announcing their ignorance....so disabling comments is a very unfortunate move for Pop Sci. They should have more confidence in scientific truth to win out, rather than limit participation...
