I'm kind of surprised Tree(3) didn't make the list. It's certainly my favorite large number to try to explain.

Alright, Disclaimer: I've never really gotten an enjoyable Experience out of an MMO. The closest was Ultima online back in the day but I blame that on youth.

Probably. From what little I've heard the intrusion was pretty clean, which means signs of changes will be hard to track down. I think most people would have been more up in arms if Sony hadn't made the original release when they did, than they are for making a second one providing more information. I'm not saying…

3-D. Least, I believe that's what he said.

Any system can be hacked. period. The only example that could be to the contrary would be a system that didn't run anything, was locked in a safe, and thrown in the ocean...

Ranked, in order of preference

I thought the ridiculous number being tossed around was $24 Billion? $318 times some amount in the millions yes?

Maybe I'm being old fashioned here, but does anyone remember playing games with friends? No not WoW, I mean single player, story driven, sit on your couch with some friends playing games with friends. That was always how we dealt with this problem. Got to an area that was driving you crazy, time to switch off. As…

take a horrible disadvantage, like, "I don't wear armor, just my manly man muscles" or "I'm ancient" (a la Cohen from the disc world series), and make it irrelevant. Whiskey Jack's middle aged or old (depending on your view), and has a lot of scars, and the bridgeburners went through hell, and were beaten to almost…

1 year: Thief 4, hopefully bringing back some of the wonder of Thief 2: The Metal Age

For anyone wondering, A tineye search does return that it's likely a hentai image (the tineye search [goo.gl] ) and it's on e-hentai.org so I'm pretty sure it's from a hentai, but I can't comment on the artist as I don't particularly feel like trying to track it further than this.

I definitely don't understand the Notch-Hating. I think it's amazing what they have provided us, and while I'd love to see certain things implemented, I'm constantly impressed with the work they put into it. I got in in Alpha as well, and I got my money's worth in a couple days, I've now been playing a hell of a lot…

I actually do this a lot. On my walk to work I change my pacing a few blocks in advance so that I hit the crossing signal just when I get to the intersection and don't need to stop or slow down. While I find this fun to do, I also find that a smoother commute puts me in a better mood for most of the day. Some…

Isn't this how the Reavers in Firefly/Serenity started?

Whenever I see research make a point about the wrong thing (or something almost completely irrelevant) the only thing it does is lower the amount of credit I am willing to give the institution that did it. I've analyzed research papers (usually psych, but the principle applies) enough times to know that there are a…

A perfect Reply good sir.

I know everyone's discussing how people should just pay things off etc. etc. And that's what I do, and if disaster strikes (like the medication mentioned or loss of job) that is why I have a good sum of money in an emergency fund (mine is a higher than the one recommended by lifehacker, but I'm a bit paranoid).

Clearly this is because he doesn't have a marketing department. Everyone knows the music choice and model is far more important than the product. :P

So, My computer just failed. How does this security work in the wake of something like that? If my MoBo goes, do I have to remove my processor and swap it in on my next machine (assuming it is compatible) in order to get my steam account working properly again? Does my steam account just become permanently locked…

In my experience you can (and I do). At least with modern line. If you're picking up line from the 19th century I'd suggest lashing the ends.
