@Helba: Have a Virus Core!: Then we have nothing. NOTHING!

"possible planets the climate could support,"

@Helba: Have a Virus Core!: You can laminate them if it's really important.

This is neat. Of course, I'd like to see memory storage that can rival a stone tablet for durability. I feel like enough info. Is getting digital nowadays that we need to start factoring in archival formats as well. Things that can survive liquids being spilled on them, being dropped, and the occasional magnetic field…

Mass Effect 2 is GOTY All Years.

Nuts. . .

@An_Enemy: She took our jorbs?

@Tadashii: How is Superman an easy franchise? There haven't been good Superman stories for years. It's damn hard to make a character relatable when he's all powerful. A superhero story about loneliness and the overwhelming burden of infinite responsibility is pretty heavy stuff for an action flick.

@desperatehours: Really? I more or less gave up on it. I get a bunch of 4 or 5 star ratings and a bunch of profile views from girls, but noone bothers sending messages. And, like, 2 out of the 18 or so girls that I tried to message bothered to reply back and one of them only to notify me that she just started seeing…

@BearDownCBears: I wouldn't say it's more pliant and amorphous so much as more ubiquitous. Other cultures take what they like from Western (White) cultures and retain their own identity. That leaves Whitey with little to call their own.

@Manly McBeeferton: The XBLA game is fun, but 90% of the enjoyment in Magic comes from building your own deck and watching it come together.

@IdaTarbell: I'm a statistician. Yet my education took me on a long meandering course through philosophy, literature, biology, organic chemistry, physics, history, and political science before finally circling around economics. I routinely cite things I learned in all of those disciplines when I'm trying to solve…

@mustlovebooknerd: That's just it. Being good at science isn't about being able to regurgitate facts. This is actually a big problem with how we teach science as being all about nomenclature so it's easier to test. IMO the important thing is to know how to run an experiment and guide it through in a process of…

@rah29: This.

@IdaTarbell: "If you're not in classes where you enjoy the subject or feel compelled to learn, it's a waste."

@mustlovebooknerd: I agree with what you're saying, but it seems to me like the implication behind it is that "journalism" as a discipline by itself is an unnecessary specialization when we could just be teaching math and science kids how to write rather than dismissing art and literature as effete pursuits for people…

@IdaTarbell: Because I don't want to be reading news articles by someone who is too scientifically illiterate to accurately summarize what the scientist they're reporting on is saying?

@Ponytail: I just had to look it up.

@CuriousMeans: After working in non-profits and government for a while I've slowly started to learn that the sole function of bureaucracy is to frustrate ambitions. The only people who ever get stuff done with these byzantine systems of rules are the types of folks who don't care about the rules nor the people…

@nomontaguesorcapulets: On New Year's MTV did a "Snooki drop" where they put her in a ball and dropped her for the count-down.
