people vaccinate dogs, which is good. but far fewer people worry about vaccinating cats. people need to vaccinate both diligently. cats can get rabies too. if you have a cat especially if that cat is an outdoor cat, you need to get it vaccinated. Rabies in cats is on the rise. Not only that, far more cats become…

if you have access to Windows 8 or above, you can easily access and try out the Chrome OS too. it's bundled in the Chrome browser as the "Windows 8 mode"

you're right. i always hated how Aliens made the creatures into easy to kill cannon fodder. the whole point of them was how hard they were to kill, how they were built to survive almost anything, and how a single one could overwhelm a group of people easily. they were too "alien" in their biology and behavior to…

My PS2's laser gave out on me many years ago. Fortunately I have one of the older models that lets you install a HDD. I can load most any game on it, and have most my library installed ready to play without all the hassle of taking managing discs. It wasn't easy setting it up (plus it was kind of hard finding the…

I think most people who aren't playing for the camera (ie those who stream or video themselves playing this) can also confirm that, old or young.

If you told me about this a year ago I'd be really excited. I'm still happy. I'll probably even get it if it's within my budget... but having seen HoloLens, I gotta say I'm not as hyped about VR as I used to be. This seems like something fun, but HoloLens seems like it will be revolutionary. I'm really excited about…

Thanks for sharing!

It's Tom Riker. He seems to have a knack from getting stuck on strange planets.

ahem, which is a long accepted and grammatically correct usage of the word.

i don't know. i prefer the more old school, common sense notion that it is far too impractical or individuals to travel across the stars. it makes me sense for groups/colonies/species/civilizations/etc to make the leap instead. the scales involved are simply too large to focus on our singular perspective. individuals…

i know i dust off some old applied physics tricks like there occasionally when i'm drinking with friends.

holy generic Batman!

my thought was "isnt it a real experience?" and "the possibilities seem endless" are contradictory. real life can be quite the buzz kill with how limiting its possibilities are at times.

yeah it did require an internet connection... because it was a multiplayer game. in fact the game was originally a program used to test multiplayer lag before it was ever really a game. it always had multiplayer in mind...

well that's debatable. however, i am afraid if you are focusing on the examples i picked off the top of my head, you are missing the greater point i actually made. i mean you could use a hypothetical world where toys are gendered so that boy toys tend to focus on more lethargic activities and girls toys tend to focus…

well there is a small problem with that. you are not really supporting the creators in most cases. copyrights and IPs tend to benefit large corporations, like publishers, where the creators getting shafted. creators get very little comparatively for their work and in the long run their work go to profit the business…

you do realize that even the the best PC with the best internet connection will still encounter a varying degree of latency when a game is always online? now if in the optimal setup you still will get less than optimal experience, then the internet requirement isn't performing the same function as the other hardware…

gendered toys aren't necessarily problematic in themselves. there are many variables at play here and it's important not to focus too much on one while ignoring the others.

Funny, what you call a trend is something a bit more than that. It's a fundamental part of human nature. It's how we learn. It's how we create. It's have we think. It's even how we communicate. Humans copy things. It has a huge evolutionary advantage for our species too. Instead of each of us being forced to uniquely…
