Was it really necessary to write an article about how batman is unrealistic concept - wasn't that at least common sense for everybody on this planet?

Of course you understand that Esther Inglis-Arkell knows the difference between to and too. And of course you realize this was just an oversight, not evidence of her inability to discern the two. And of course you wrote this post cause you thought it would be fun to act like you didn't realize grown people make…

Judge Dredd came out three years before Blade and made just about as much money, and there was a whole slew of very successful Batman movies before that. I don't think any of them have much to do with modern comic book movies, nor that just because Blade was based on a Marvel book that it's similar to, say, X-Men or…

Hmmmmmmmmm

So take the book, face the spine against you, turn it 45 degrees. Can you see the back of the book poking out behind the cover? That is the second boob in these pictures.

Huh?

No no no, 45 degrees is not nearly enough. You need booth boobs and both cheeks in there, like this

I think I still don't get the point. Singularitarians are expecting a miracle cure to surface sometime in their lives. The fact that we don't have a clue what that miracle cure is right now or how to get it doesn't seem very relevant to them.

Charles Stross, a near-future sci-fi writer (and far-future, and space opera, and fantasy, and Lovecraftian computer science magic and spy-thriller sci-fantasy writer >_>) has a blog where he sometimes writes interesting articles about the implications of disruptive tech and technological progress, with interesting…

I get that there are huge, overarching trends in humanity's development that really are tens of thousands of years in the making, I really do, and I can appreciate that. But I can't see that translating into such radical and definitive conclusions regarding technological progress, nor putting hard limits on specific…

SA is not a particularly horrible place, at least not any more so than many other large forums. Sometimes parts of reddit has even got it beat. But their Horrors of Porn article series used to be pretty funny, from what my easily amused teenaged past self tells me.

Depends on your scene I guess. Programmers are in a bit of a golden age right now, with demand far outstripping supply. If you're halfway decent you can easily get a relatively high-paying job.

Star Trek does have an already-existing alien galactic society going on when a single human manages to invent warp drives pretty much on his own in the 21st century. If you can get over the whole practical-faster-than-light and easy-access-to-massive-amounts-of-energy thing, you could get a pretty wide spread in a few…

In what computational devices currently in use is the speed of light a problem? How is computational energy requirements more of a problem today than it has ever been when computational efficiency has, and is still, increasing even faster than Moore's Law (see: Koomey's Law)? And how would quantum computing solve any…

I don't know. After the Pains and Something Awful and 4chan and the shock-image / video era of the 00s, fanfiction just never seems to reach those peaks of abject horror.

Best pickup line ever

The fact that you asked if "computers aren't topping out soon" and then throw something as utterly void of substance as "Moore's law has nothing to do with computing power" out there, then end with a swear and an insult, kind of suggests you've gotten tired of looking things up on wikipedia as you go.

I don't think the proponents of living forever assume they're going to get to 200 by luck >_>

But those 49500 years of reed boats were almost completely unrelated to the invention of medieval boat technology. It wasn't people going back and forth between islands for millennia that made them capable of building dependable, large-scale oceanic vessels, it was large, stable societies and advances in almost…

Anthony Head as Croup... I must admit I can't picture that at all. Maybe less Giles, more Repo Man? Makes me want to hear it even more cause I'm sure he'll pull it off
