...Looks more like poker. If you're holding that hand in Blackjack (23), it's no wonder the kid has all the chips.

If my child is 6 and being a bully, I need to be made aware of it as the parent of the child. Punishment by the school is appropriate (I'm not even touching if "Spank the little kid's ass" qualifies as appropriate punishment) . Having other kids get revenge? Not appropriate.

... There's a difference between discipline and this. The correct course of action would have been involving the parents, or heck possibly suspension/expulsion depending on what the kid actually did. If a group of kids were instructed to beat my child (even one punch each is still a beating) I'd be all over having the…

I played Hassle: The dorkening once, had 18 cards in my hand, all muds. And I didn't seem to need a mud card win. Then the other kid grinned, see he'd just drawn a battalion of rolling explosions, and a card that kept me frozen...

Just to point out the slight logic error here: The reactor is driving more than just the engines. The engines can only produce a certain amount of "Thrust" and have to deal with a good amount of Friction/Drag/whatever the correct hydrodynamic term is. At a certain point, even if you could direct all of the Reactor to…

That depends: White, Whole Wheat, or Raisin?

Once upon a time I worked for a cool company doing linux tech support. My business card title: Penguin Flight Mechanic.

Military fiction has taught me that real life operations are generally random words until they are public in some way.

Unannounced patch day. It has been down most of the day, came back up and has been taken down again because they have server problems.

War never changes...

Zzt was an awesome game. Kingdom of Kroz too.

Also noteable - the I love bees stuff. It's entire point was "AIs have limited lifespans"

Halo Multiplayer wasn't really that great unique in any way. It was just unique because it was on a console with decent match making and controls. (Which is debatable). It was mostly a rehash of things that had been done in Doom and Quake, with some extras that had already been in user mods of the two.

..Not really a spoiler. Nothing about EDI has been mentioned other than "EDI is in ME3". Which honestly, is like saying "Shepard is in ME3". Unless you somehow completely destroyed the normandy in ME2..

...I think I disagree with both sides on this. "Oh it should be illegal except for [stupidly held] [ignorant] beliefs!" people are just nut jobs.

Let's look at that feature list..:

Mars Effect.

We should ban pencils, too. The joker clearly showed us that pencils have no other purpose than to kill someone with.

The mass effect series has you play as whatever gender/race combination you want. Noteable humans in the game include Udinia, Anderson, Hackett and Kahoku. Your crew gets two fairly white humans in the first game, but also a host of aliens. In the second, the first crew mate you meet is Jacob. The games show a…

It's with a warrant, so yes the cell phone company has to comply, but they are allowed to pass a reasonable charge (costs) along. In the case of data and text/picture messages for instance, they have to set up a trap, which requires a person to set up and verify, all of the messages/packets then have to be logged…
