My apologies. My joke was INTENDED for a poster who was complaining that Bungie had been "pretending" to be a PC development house in exile while it was under Microsoft's banner. The joke being that, prior to Microsoft, Bungie was a Mac-first developer with only one game released on Windows.

So what I'm hearing is: You want Bungie to go back to being a Mac gaming house. Am I right? ;-)

I'd say the "right place" would be where women's armor hits roughly the same realism/titillation balance as men's armor.

Have you played the game? Did you encounter any bugs while doing so? The relevant measures is how many bugs ended up in the finished project, not how many bugs were generated during coding and then caught in development.

It's not so much the lack of tact, as the fact that there's no way to say "Look at this rope, everybody. LOOK AT IT." without coming across as humorously obsessive.

Origin has certainly improved from the buggy mess it was when they first rebranded the "EA Download Manager." It's pretty stable and easy to use these days. That said, it still suffers from two problems:

I'm aware of the statutory language. The reason I am not interested in debating whether the law applies to the fact pattern at hand - is that merely reading the statutory text, without reading the key cases interpreting the key language of the law, generally results in an incomplete understanding of the law in…

If you are recording someone without their knowledge in a public or semi-public place like a street or restaurant, the person whom you're recording may or may not have "an objectively reasonable expectation that no one is listening in or overhearing the conversation," and the reasonableness of the expectation would…

Firstly: Whatever the exact language - and invasion of privacy is indeed a term of art in the law, so it was a poor turn of phrase for me to use - recording others against their will is at minimum highly offensive, and in many cases, is entirely illegal. (I'm not going to get into a discussion of whether California's…

Legally, your statement is correct. Recording someone without their consent is not a generally acceptable grounds for them to assault you, any more than wearing a skimpy outfit is grounds for them to assault you.

Per the Amazon page, it's a standard base game + expansion + all DLC and updates pack.

Unfortunately, they also look more like an Ewok, so. . .

Curiously, the chart shows an average price of around $16 for "Midtown West" and $14 for "Midtown East" - so where is this $23 figure for just plain "Midtown" coming from?

I can't believe I missed this in the film, but why is the wall built straight through the harbor bridge? That leaves the wall perpendicular to the ocean!

Hat tip for the Closer reference.

I blame The Bourne Identity. The short, choppy fight scenes in that movie actually worked quite well, because they emphasized how Bourne swiftly confused and dispatched his opponents in hand-to-hand combat. The fact that they were hard to follow actually served a film-making function, and were limited to times when…

I believe this particular proposal was specifically by David Camp (R-MI), and it looks like he's having trouble finding buy-in from party leadership, so it may not be fair to paint this particular proposal as the position of the Republican or Democratic party.

There are also numerous strategies for reducing implicit bias both at an individual and organizational level. See, for example, this publication by the National Center for State Courts.

Yes, he was being a creepy socially awkward retard. Yes, there are a lot of men like this. What you seem to be missing is that, from the woman's perspective, the kind of behavior just described is indistinguishable from that of a man who is willing to cause actual harm.* (Would be, ex, or current) intimate partners…
