I hope that BF3 will have a color-blind mode for multiplayer as well. I'm having a hard time with those greens and reds on the over-heads.

Blast yo' ass, pop pop. Blast as a verb for shooting doesn't seem all that funny, specially if that dude in the picture had a gun in his hand.

Frustrating in more ways than one, considering that ex-NAZI scientists were directly responsible for the US space program (as in, we actively recruited them to help us build our missile and rocket program following the war).

I've nagged about misreporting on studies and research a bit recently so I feel obligated to thank Anna for some straight dope and critical analysis.

Chemical rockets are 1920s technology, much like internal combustion engine, they have received many huge improvements over the years, but there are no suitable alternatives for their specific purpose.

2 years in your life? I know that I had at least 350 days playtime in World of Warcraft alone over the last 6 years. Factor in my childhood, school days, and the ongoing non-WoW gaming spree, I could easily figure 5 or 6 years playing video games by the time I'm done.

I picked up a pair of ATH A700s last year for 90$ and I'd be certain they sound better and I KNOW they're more comfortable to wear.

Actually, the write-up itself is also misleading.

悪名高き男 literally translates as Highly Infamous Man. It definitely sounds cooler in Japanese though. 悪名 is pronounced Akumei or Akumyou and means Bad Name or Ill Repute.

My assumption on the matter would be that Caters probably paid Mr. Slater something to publish the photos, which if that payment included rights, then they aren't entirely off basis.

Same game regardless of platform, the [C|K]atherine difference is only in the box-art.

They actually use the equivalent in the Space Shuttle. Sometimes the navigation computers need to be re-aligned and they can use star-of-opportunity mode to do so. If the automated star-of-opportunity mode fails then the crew has to use the Calibrated Optical Alignment Sight or the HUD. The COAS is basically that,…

The best part is that if you look at it, it looks like the boobs tower might be an inflatable. An inflatable 3 story tall tower of boobs.

"The Buran could have also avoided the Challenger's horrible fate by avoiding the need for (failure-prone) foam:"

Actually these would be really useful for someone like myself who has absolutely no capacity to understand the non-verbal cues of people I engage.

By default when you get a visual on a player in your cross hairs their name appears over their head. By default these games use a medium hue of Green for friendly, and Red for enemy.

Like takeshi points out, reporting on scientific studies is usually the fault here, not the studies themselves. That's why you always need to read the actual paper being reported on if at all possible.

The study was to compare diet soda consumption with no-soda consumption, so the non-soda drinkers were the control element. This study's data showed that diet soda drinkers gained more weight than non-drinkers.
