"Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but if you control a corporation, you're also entitled to your own facts." Love this line.

Er... You start off with "I'm not defending the arrest," but by the end your comment reads almost like "oh, that poor cop, forced, forced into such a terrible situation! The poor dear!"

They don't, unless it's a chance to yell at someone for breaking gender stereotypes. Every conservative arse thinks that that's the most important job in the world.

These are fair points, but while they're an interesting exploration of the bigger issue, I don't think they're going to make a gay man getting stoned to death in some intolerant culture feel better, you know? What should the West do? We can't ignore it, especially if it is historically our fault.

Yesss, thank you. I think Biden's remarks should be supported, 100%. "Culture" and "tradition" should not be magic words that let you do whatever you want, and act like an arse — or worse — towards people. If your culture involves taking away people's rights, or physically assaulting them, or worse, then you can…

Hee. An angry, mildly insulting internet comment on a video game website, accusing someone else of being a man-child and complaining about men who aren't emotionally mature... :P

Loud agreement here, from one non-stereotypically-masculine guy to another. :)

I see where you're coming from here as well, and ultimately I don't have a better answer myself — I just think this is the correct direction to move in; I don't necessarily believe it's realistic that we'll actually get to a state where there's really no presumptions about gender at all. But that's true of many social…

I think gender neutrality can be seen as more of a way to give people a blank canvas on which they can then paint their own identity, rather than an attempt to eliminate such an identity altogether. I agree with you — my personal view of an ideal world, when it comes to gender, is basically everybody defining…

Now this is PR done right. :) Very sweet.

I like Notch. Not only did he make an awesome and addictive game, but, despite now owning a game company, he continues to act like an actual breathing human being, rather than a corporate mechanism. It's a rare and fascinating thing to observe.

I have real trouble trusting autocorrect. Does it really work so well? Even for long, complex messages? I suppose it's possible I've just been really lucky with phones with keyboards, but considering this includes an ancient Nokia as well, I doubt that. The tactile feedback just makes a big difference for me. Yes, it…

I still don't understand why hardware keyboards on phones aren't more popular. No matter how fancy an on-screen keyboard is, it's never as fast or as comfortable to use as actual physical buttons.

Maybe the problem is expectation. The players didn't expect to face an AI capable of flanking, so they didn't play in a way that took that possibility into account. They assumed the game was more likely to spawn extra enemies than use existing enemies intelligently. Of course, playing to this expectation to avoid…

It would almost be better if the visor was closed, and this was a self-referential over-the-top bit of humour: "Our space marines are so bad-ass, they'll smoke in their space-suits! Screw you, logic! Screw you, oxygen!" :P

Yeah, but "ordinary" TV shows often have a bigger impact on culture — if you add them all up, in aggregate — than any academic treatise on social justice. :P And it's not like adding a couple of women to the cast is the same as turning the show into a deep philosophical discussion of social issues or something.…

The article above makes the same point in the end. The issue is that Lucas wastes time making stupid, sexist comments that seem to imply that Tymoshenko would make a bad leader *because* she's a pretty woman, and only then gets into the real issues of her corruption. Jezebel isn't arguing *for* Tymoshenko here; the…
