So here's the thing that ALL geeks should understand... responding to insults gives power to the ahole bully giving out the insults. It shows that it got to you.

So was Mighty Joe Young racist? Sometimes a giant ape is just a giant ape.

Structural/systematic racism requires race to be acknowledged in the first place. How can a decision be made one way or another based on race without first recognizing that race is different?

This is all wrong. For a lot of reasons.

But giving those developers another toy to work with comes at the expense of my wallet. If I am confident that, while leaning to the side may feel natural, it will always be a gimmick to me. I think Jerry Holkins of Penny Arcade said it best: We play games oftentimes to transcend our physical shells, not to get…

Look, I normally really like Charlie's take on movies and media, but if I read the phrase 'Slut-shaming' one more time I'm going to scream. We get it, you're a sex positive feminist. I applaud that, I really do. But sometimes you have to give it a rest... like when considering the morality of a piece of work…

So you admit that this whole post wasn't about sharing news, but rather a self-important attempt to impose your personal views on this guy on the rest of us? Why did this update on a kickstarter campaign have to be an editorial?

I can't believe Robert Downey Jr in Weird Science didn't make the cut.

It's not just that, Ye Schiwen had a faster split than a men's gold medal winner. Not to go sexist on you but there is a reason why the two genders don't compete directly and any female athlete will tell you why. You're going to tell me that's not suspicious?

As a San Diego resident and long time Con-Goer there are some valid concerns here, but also some not so valid ones.

one of my favorite classes in college was a liberal arts class called Cyborg Theory, one of the central questions asked was "what does it take for us to consider applying the term 'cyborg'" because the common usage deviates quite a bit from when NASA originally coined the term (used to describe how a human being…

People absolutely complain when food doesn't look like what it is advertised as. There are entire websites dedicated to "What they sell, what you get" comparisons. There are even laws that prevent photo-shopping pictures of food to look larger or be misleading.

700 mil of 160 bil is 0.4375%. His .625% comes from calculating 1 billion (your first remark) out of 160 billion. 1 billion is 0.625% of 160 billion.

You think that TSA is actually stopping terrorists? You think that their goofy ineffective tactics have actually prevented bombs from going off mid-flight or flying into a tower? What a naive sheltered perspective.

I can only assume that Coheed and Cambria's entire discography is coming to this list eventually. Every album they've made so far composes one giant rock opera that tells a story they've put into a series of comic books, plus a prequel novel.

There's also the concept of 'Going too far'. Iron Man has all of those incredible things, but if he took his helmet off in space, without talking about some sort of field generation tech or some other kind of magic, we wouldn't buy it.

People bring up System of a Down and Borat, but Army of Darkness did this first. They even sold it in a brown paper bag DVD case.

Isn't this just a taller version of "Superman the Escape" at Six Flags Magic Mountain in LA that's been running for the past 15 years?

I'd have liked this video quite a bit more without the bullet time. You don't get a good sense for what the dogpark is like for the dog without the full speed of it all. I know when my Border Collie takes off like a rocket in the park after the other dogs she is having the time of her life. I'd have loved to get a…
