I'm not sure if they've ever received an official "hate group list" designation - anti-women/anti-feminist is not a typical SPLC category - but the SPLC has definitely devoted some attention to the issue, including lists of sites with strong misogynistic themes:

You did read the article, right?

New Zelda? More like New Zealand, amirite?

I notice that two of the companies you name-check as "doing things differently" are Ubisoft Montreal and Nintendo, located in Canada and Japan, respectively.

Fair enough. I happen to agree that Olin should not have been fired. While I think what he said was both insensitive and incorrect, that's something that an apology can handle, perhaps with a donation to a relevant charity to show the company's serious. (Let's face it, they're going to expend a bunch of resources…

Do you have ANY evidence that our culture is becoming a "grey mass of indistinguishable non-achievement"? Because it seems to me that the push for more diversity in our media is having the exact opposite effect. We've still got dude-centric comedies like The Hangover, but now we have brilliant girl-centric comedies…

Today on Amazon, $25 gets you all four Alien movies on Blu-ray, plus two discs crammed with special features. [Alien Anthology, $25]

Well, there's no nudity in the app, so they can't have run afoul of that rule. "Sexual content" rules tend to be pretty vaguely defined, so it can be hard to tell precisely what will be found problematic. I'm sure the developer was aware that Apple might crack down on the app, but thought the cause was worth…

It looks like they're using an engine more similar to Civ 5 than Civ 4. Have you tested Civ 5 on your Retina machine? If that runs well then the odds would seem good that Beyond Earth will too.

Enthusiasts.

Ignoring them when they come after you is definitely a solid option. Reporting them (if you're a user), banning them (if you're a mod), or making it clear to a victim that you're on they're side (without feeding the bully directly) are even better, in my opinion.

There have also always been murderers and rapists in the world, and probably always will be, but we fund the police and courts to catch and convict them nonetheless.

They lay out their benchmark methodology pretty thoroughly at the linked article. (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon…). Is there a particular choice they've made that you have a problem with, or was that just a gratuitous potshot at Tom's Hardware?

I added mine in by hitting "formatting options" in and then the link button - I haven't had much success directly typing in formatting code on Kinja recently.

Did you experience any issues with lag or stuttering? Tom's Hardware conducting a thorough benchmarking on a dual 295x2 system at Ultra HD resolution recently, and found that many games were nearly unplayable, not due to low average frame rates, but due to wild swings in frame rates.

If "they had a large number of condoms!" was the only evidence in the case, I'd agree with you. Keep in mind that most cases involve a lot of evidence, and it's generally not possible to tell what precise evidence the jury relied on in reaching that threshold of "beyond reasonable doubt."

Absolutely, but context matters. Seizing condoms from a brothel "staffed "by trafficking victims doesn't hurt those victims - they only need them because they're being coerced into sex, and they're sheltered from charges under NY anti-trafficking law. The condoms are being seized as evidence against the traffickers.

I suspect Ms. Baskin will be getting a lot of push back from anti-trafficking organizations - they're pretty keen on keeping all evidence seized in trafficking raids admissible in court. Especially those bulk boxes of condoms seized in raids on trafficking brothels, which are useful evidence that the proprietors…

Yes, there are a number of TVs on the market now with 120hz (or 240hz) refresh rates. Note that, while they can display plenty of frames per second, they're not necessarily that great for gaming, as TVs often have substantially higher input lag than monitors - especially specialized 120hz/144hz gaming monitors. Silky…

OK, how about New Zealand? Notably larger ethnic minority population share than the US, similar English common law heritage, not exactly known for police brutality.
