Many of the stereotypes you cite are more often than not a result of societal factors which are outside of that individual's control. The interesting thing about white conservative males is that they choose to be this ignorant. It's political; they only disagree with findings that they find inconvenient. That earns…

This would have been a more interesting video if they left out the weaker attempts at similarity. Bullets damage concrete?! Fighters throw punches at each other?! How derivative!

The demo was fairly impressive. Anyone know of apps like this for Android?

"The applesauce will act as a binder, and keep your baked goods just moist. "

Any idea what's up with xbox live?

Image upload fail.

So basically:

I haven't watched Doctor Who Confidential, which apparently gives a better timeline of River's story...

Was I the only one hoping she'd break loose and kick his ass? I'm all for the vampires being good people not wanting to kill anybody, but it's increasingly making all these council humans look like racist monsters. I'm okay with TV protagonists killing the people committing hate crimes against them.

Actually, they detected the neutrinos from the supernova about 3 hours before the light reached us. Since neutrinos don't interact strongly with normal matter, they could fly out of the centre of the star following the supernova. The light from the explosion took a few hours to clear past since it was obstructed by…

I played Doom and everything growing up, I definitely don't think these games will ruin any kids. If/when I have some of my own, they'll definitely be playing games with me.

When I hit the "Show earlier discussions" button, it seems to reload quite a few comments that were already displayed. In busy threads sometimes I have to scroll quite a bit before I find where the new ones start.

A question to parents: what sort of age ranges do you think are acceptable for your kids to be playing a filtered game that has you chasing people with a chainsaw? At what age do you lose the filter?

"Ultimately we feel our rating should reflect the most extreme content possible, regardless of whether filters can eliminate or diminish some of that content," said ESRB spokesman Eliot Mizrachi.

You say you're confused about rules from real life bleeding into the internet, but it sounds more like you're an internet troll trying to transition into trolling the people you actually know.

Has there been a diagnosis regarding what's wrong with his brain?

The Lodger was one of my favourite episodes, and this was a fun throwback, but I'm increasingly starting to think more of these last few episodes should have been dedicated to the Doctor/River plot (despite how sick of it I am).

From what I've been reading that seems like the expectation from actual physicists (I am not one). The main point being raised is Supernova 1987A, from which we detected neutrinos and photons at pretty much the same time. If these OPERA results are accurate that 60ns lead over ~700km here means we would expect the…

It really isn't as simple as you want it to be. These results violate the laws of physics as we currently understand them. The interesting bit is that this experiment has levels of statistical significance and margins of error that would typically qualify as a proper discovery. That alone makes it really interesting…

I base it on how willing you are to play different games. I may not always enjoy a particular RPG, FPS, MMO, etc, but I do branch out and explore them.
