No scientist will ever say their hypothesis "proves" anything. This is not even an accepted scientific theory, which is as close as science comes to "proving" anything. The idea that he's a grad student and using the term, "prove" when speaking in regards to his hypothesis is just abysmal.

As anyone in a science field will tell you, there is only one scientific discipline that "proves" anything and that's mathematics. If he is being quoted as saying he has "proved" anything via biology or chemistry he certainly shouldn't be a grad student. There are hypothesis and accepted scientific theories. But no…

I can see it now. The scene opens with a wide view of the living room, and outside of the window you see a thunderhawk touch down. The front door opensand the Emporer has to duck to come inside. He's wearing a fedora and turns to place it on the coat rack with his flowing red cape, then turns to walk into the living…

The Lost Chapters aren't known to have done something horrible, per say. What they did is unknown, only that it went against the beliefs of the Emporer. Their statues are still represented among those of the 20 Chapters but have sheets over their heads. The few passing mentions of them simply state that their…

It's almost as if people don't have the choice to skip articles regarding topics they don't like.

You can just as easily read what Demo said as, "If this were a satirical shaming of a female, it wouldn't be defended, and we'd have people asking why it needed to be done at all, even satirically."

As someone who identifies as a geek; pre-geek chic due to age, I have an odd view on this situation.

I've always been interested in nerdy and geeky things, but I internalize those interests. It's not out of some "shame" of being a geeky guy per say, it's simply that I find it irritating to be lumped in with the people…

Kirk did an update piece barely a month ago.

The red lip thing must have some type of traditional back story that I'm not aware of to it. Otherwisethese are just some sadistic parents.

I understand the hair style change, and the idea of an outfit change is understood as well. But this seems like a pretty drastic change in wardrobe. Aside for being blue, and the nubhawk, it'd be tough to see the two characters being the same physically.

"We shouldn't be running from useful sources, we should embrace them and make them better."

That sums up what you said pretty concisely, which I agree with. As I mentioned above, if we could have more accountability about who changes the information I'd totally be on board. But your comment about "who goes, I'm going…

"the answers change so quickly"
"connecting our education with actual online sources like Wikipedia"

If we could have a source that could only be edited by academic scholars or universities sure. But as it currently stands, wikipedia can change far easier than text books =P

While I think a lot of us pc gamers may be doing that on the inside while reading this article, I highly doubt anyone really does that =) But the sentiment is definitely there regardless.

Then there's the pc gamer, who'd be depicted sitting at their desk looking at Kotaku and reading this article. Only to be reminded that he or she bought a dozen more games off steam's summer sale for $3 or so each, and that they should be working through their back log instead of wondering why people still use places…

Sure, why not? I eat honey.

As a female, do you wear make up? Well, it's very likely you're putting urine on your face.

Aw poor man, how do you get by in life when you can't count?

It's nothing new, Carmack has been in this same role for a couple years now. I don't know why it's being made into a story that depicts it as something new.

Ok seriously, what the fuck is up with those pants in pic 5? Is that REALLY how to be hip and cool currently?

Because it seems a lot like any other fad. You're trying to be different by dressing just like other people who are trying to be different. Which makes it a fashion, which is WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO AVOID!…
