It's because they way they see it, ACA hurt more people than it helped.

YES! I'm a big fan of these books and while it's not what I imagined, I approve. I can't wait to see what their version of the Rocinante looks like.

Could it be? A for-real-no-shit reasonable person?!!? Kidding aside, thanks for realizing competition makes everything better for everyone, regardless of Android or Apple preference. There should be more of you in the world. Have a star.

Found the troll.

"...a self aware, self improving machine could be expected to do several surprising things..."

Having just read Epic Pooh (thanks for the link), I think I can understand where Moorcock is coming from. Although, I don't think I entirely agree with his opinion. There seem to be two main points to the essay; The substance of Tolkien's work is entirely too culturally conservative and trite, and that his prose isn't…

The supposed story of my family was that two brothers from the city of Minsk in Belarus immigrated to the US. When asked what their name was, they thought they were being asked where they were from. Heavy accents, language barriers, and maybe a little not-giving-a-shit turned our last name to Mink. I highly doubt this…

Judging by the comments, I must be the only person on io9 who can't stand Ron Perlman. He is really just a terrible terrible actor. His bit in Pacific Rim stands out as particularly cringe worthy.

The reason post-apocalyptic stories are popular right now is because the architecture of this story type resonates with what's happening in the world today. Western Culture has been hammered with economic woe over the last eight years or so. On top of that, our climate is changing, politics are changing, things aren't…

I think you hit the nail on the head right here!

I've been playing Destiny this week. Yeah, people still play that game. Bungie is gearing up for an expansion that drops next week. There are now more Hive walking around in the cosmodrome. You can pick up their swords and go crazy. Swords!

THE EXPAAAANSEEE!

Not too long ago a certain Republican advocated building a colony on the moon, similar to the one described in this article.

The whole point of remote play is that you can use the small display instead of a TV. Basically you're just mirroring the video output of the console to the phone. This way, you can still play a game if other people want to use the TV you would be playing on.

This is ridiculous. Please tell me, really, how you could possibly gain entry to a nuclear control facility, then somehow use a "Trojan" to "hack" a floppy disk containing launch codes. Jesus Christ. On second thought, no, I don't want to hear your absurd theories. I'm done with this discussion.

The US Department of Defense carved out $5 Billion for cyber operations. Think for a minute about what that amount of money can buy. The scenario you described would probably work great against a third world country, not so much against the US.

It's worth it. Get one. Now.

It's worth it. Get one. Now.

Romulan Ale for sure!

It's not as easy to "hack" into a military network as you think it is.

Counter!
