SHHHHHHHHHHHH! You're giving them ideas!

Back in the day, Russia (and the U.S.S.R.) had a penchant for creating ridiculously impractical, oversized weapons and objects in order to one-up their enemies (and, presumably, to compensate for the tiny penises of their leaders): The Tsar Cannon, the Tsar Bell, the Tsar Tank and, of course Tsar Bomba. In that

Me: Here... *takes Oculus Rift out of its gilded case* ...put this on. It will take you to new worlds, more wonderful than you ever imagined.

I have no doubt that it's been posited. You're positing it right now. That doesn't make it true. In fact, Hapgood's hypothesis is now considered by science to be poppycock. The geographic poles do in fact wander, but it happens so slowly you wouldn't even notice it if it was happening right now. Nothing like the

Any game that can be played on the Rift can be played on a regular 2d screen, but only games that are compatible with the Rift can be played on the Rift. There are mods and VR drivers that can make games without native Rift support run on the Rift, but the results vary and are never as good as with games that were

You're not the first person I've seen that's confused about the Oculus Rift. The Rift isn't a gaming platform, it's just a PC peripheral. It's basically a PC monitor that you strap onto your face.

Holy shitballs. That looks way more amazing than I expected.

I've never shed a tear over the loss of a famous person. I've been sorry many times. I've felt sad a few times. But I've never shed a single tear. Until now. I'm going to miss Robin Williams. Really.

What.. the.. FUCK?!

That's going to be one freaky ass tan line. Chalky white junk on a bronze body. Turn out the lights and you just see ghostly floating cock and balls. I'm going to have nightmares.

I don't know why you would think that but to answer your questions anyway:

Dang, looks like you pissed off a lot of white people.

That said, you've obviously never had a proper grilled cheese and I have to tell you, you are missing something special. And yes, I'm white.

"Barber! Make me look sexy, like Simon LeBon in 1984!" Instead, he looks like Joe Dirt after a trim.

I was hacked once a few years ago. I got everything back and then some because part of how they reimbursed me for the gold I lost was by giving me tons of items to sell at the auction house. Those items sold for quite a bit more than TPTB apparently anticipated. Inflation, gotta love it.

I wonder if this is equally true in cases of positively charged lightning; so called "super lightning".

I'm surprised at the lack of sympathy many people seem to have for those who are easily fooled into believing stupid things. Not one person is born with a working bullshit detector. Someone or something, probably a whole series of someones and somethings, in your life instilled in you a healthy skepticism and the

I couldn't agree more. The genie is out of the bottle and what it would take to put it back in, truly and permanently, is in some ways just as bad as global thermonuclear war. The threat will never go away. All we can hope to do is reduce it.

Prometheus, a bristle cone pine, was the oldest known non-clonal tree at 5,000 years, give or take. Scientists didn't know that, though, until they had already cut it down and killed it. Methuselah, which lives in the same bristle cone pine grove as Prometheus once did, now holds the title of oldest known living

I haven't read it. It's Orson Scott Card, or anything that has his name on it, that I won't touch with a ten foot pole. I won't risk putting a dime into his pocket, even indirectly, that could be used to support his bigoted activism. He declared himself a "mortal enemy" of me and people like me. So be it.

And what if they're all AWESOME? Well, except for the last one. I'm not touching that with a ten foot pole. But still, the future looks bright for sci-fi fans.
