I don't own a DE, but I do have some guns. I've got a Kimber Custom II, a Colt M1991-A1 (not a typo), a Ruger Mk. II, a Ruger 10-22, a Ruger Blackhawk in .45 LC, a Mossberg 500 and a Chinese SKS. I used to have a Glock 26 and a Derringer, too, but I sold those.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have discovered the third sex. Male, Female, and now Colbert.

Look closely. It was propped up against a log, and a piece of the console flew out the back after that first shot. All shots were hits.

I laughed so hard that I cried!

Now we're going to need a Minecraft mod for TES V, and a TES texture pack for Minecraft.

I love the effects, but you all ought to keep in mind that real Claymore mines throw shrapnel and concussive blast effects in an omni-directional pattern, not just forwards. If you're standing ten or twenty yards behind a Claymore when it goes off and you're not behind something, you're in deep trouble. That's one…

I used to play my Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube and Xbox in my bedroom through a Radeon 9700 Pro AIW capture card. That stopped when said capture card died and I couldn't find a decent replacement. :(

Male versus female fights have happened before. Lucia Rijker held her own for a bit against Somchai Jaidee before taking a massive punch to the head, and they're both top-level competitors in their respective classes.

And you have a Star? You've gotta be shittin' me.

No. Making a device based on this principle to try and stop a weaponized laser makes about as much sense as building a gigantic resistor to try and stop a taser. It's a teensy little component that would fit in the palm of your hand. The device would have to be aligned perfectly with the incoming laser and tuned to…

I suddenly had a beautiful image enter my head. A computer, suspended in a vacuum chamber to keep the optical components clean and dust-free, with graphene spintronic semiconductor chips and on-board laser components linked together by super-fine optical fibers, with racetrack memory for storage and hybrid…

It means you're paid by the hour instead of by the month or year.

Bungie's deal is not the same thing as signing over their whole company. It's just a publishing deal. Activision exerts literally zero control over Bungie. If Bungie's next project is any good - which I'm pretty damn sure it will be - Activision will want to market the hell out of it. It would not be in Activision's…

LOL, your avatar reminds me of the Psygnosis owlball logo for some reason.

There's only one way to settle this...

Oh. My. God.

"how to tie a rope"

Hackers of all stripes - white hats, grey hats, black hats - are an important part of the consumer electronics industry. They help maintain the ecosystem, culling out the weak devices that cannot withstand their probing and prodding. Think of them as a virus, and then think of security improvements to the devices in…

This reminds me of Saints Row 2's weapon selection ring.
