Same thing you do when getting any gift, say thanks.

This pretty much lines up with my knowledge of the issue. I am, however, curious about one thing. If you are overpayed (by your employer or a bank, or anyone that can feasible recollect the money), and you put that money into an investment (or even a high yield savings account). A.) does the bank/employer get to…

Came here to make this point. Thanks.

yep, $10 a month subscription. I get way more value out of it monthly and I'd rather have money go to wiki than the crap I'd spend it on anyway.

so, it's told me my Galaxy Nexus is an LG Revolution.

Nah, only like half of gawker. Lifehacker lets them through from time to time, Kotaku covers anything a major game designer puts up (like planetary annihiliation) and Io9 gets one in now and again as well. I find Io9 and LH to still be pretty classy places, they don't spam the kickstarter button, but if they find…

Cheating is what you wouldn't tell your significant other. Yeah, that's a bit of an over simplification, but it's pretty good for a definition. I'd like to add "or would do to deliberately hurt them". Which still leaves holes but fills in the big one.

I get that Graphite works wonders. I have a tube myself (I primarily use for when a lock gets sticky). But wouldn't machine oil also attract dirt and dust?

Exactly my reaction.

I concur. It probably makes me as much of an ass as the people who do these things, but when I get on the bus I often try to sit with people that are doing these things, so that other people won't feel like they shouldn't sit down. I also move all the way to the back of the bus, because, come on, it's not that hard.

When I say price point, I mean that the android market is known for having lower prices than the app store. In order for games to survive they often have to offer them at lower prices. I feel like a lot of that is fluff, but the trend is apparent if you just glance over pricing for iOS only titles versus titles…

Fragmentation, piracy, and price point. iOs development means you have one or two sets of hardware to develop for, and pretty much 1 version of the os you need to hit. Piracy is much more of a problem with android games so the risk is higher for developers that they'll at least get tangled in some legal BS, if not…

So I could make grilled pears, roasted pears, pear chips, pear wine, and still have a toaster/microwave functionality unused. I want to know if there is a food that can properly use all of these functions.

I have a tremendous amount of difficulty changing my diet to be healthier, predominantly because I basically don't eat fruits or vegetables (textural issues). Now, I've had more people than I can remember try to fix that, so I'm not asking how I can like those things (that work is ongoing), what I am intrigued by is…

That is exactly the reason I don't have amazon prime. I wish the full catalog were available with the subscription, but anything I've ever looked for that I'd want to watch is still f'ekkin' Pay per view.

Dear god, It's a Behelit. Get rid of it!

I agree, the big thing I got out of this trailer was "holy crap, the dialogue sounds like actual human beings, and the delivery makes it sound like they are talking to each other, rather than a wall." I'm seriously impressed. I'd rather have improvements like that than the typical graphics arms race.

Admittedly, people having the same conversation over and over again is a trope that happens in reality too. Would be nice to add to the "rare dialogue cues" someone saying "You argue with me about my farm EVERY DAY! Give it a rest, I'm not changing anything. I feel like I'm in some horrible time loop." followed by…

Nothing. I've yet to find a game believable, since the premise of just about any game is meant to be absurd (this is not a bad thing). HOWEVER, there are a number of things that make a game less likely to jar me from my immersion.

What, in your eyes, irrespective of the laws of man or tenets of any religion, just your personal moral beliefs, is the single best, noblest, good use for hacking? (I'm using the term interchangeably with cracking in this case I believe)
