I can't even bother reading it. Suffice to say: he is exactly the sort of person that makes me want to colonize another planet and leave this shitty rock to the fundamentalist zealots.

He's a writer? Someone buy that mother fucker a dictionary. And possibly a thesaurus. And maybe teach him how english works. For instance: you can't just redefine words to mean what you want them to mean, so you sound clever (i guess?) when you talk shit about a pop star.

lol nice :D

I dunno, but I'm thinking if we want a realistic silenced weapon, why not just use infrared lasers? The technology for it is getting pretty close as it is. There'll be a mild pop from the air reclaiming the space the laser chewed through, and there might be a capacitor whine or something, but aside from that and a…

likely a correlation XD

it'll still look goofy

I need to read it, I chewed through my dads Haldeman collection repeatedly when I was growing up, and I saw Canticle of Leibowitz, but I thought it was another Canterbury Tales (having picked that up and then hastily putting it back down) and completely ignored it.

Yuh huh!

Only if theres a running joke of Airplane-like quips about how 'This was a terrible week to stop heroin' as they fiddle with some new chemistry to distract them from the heroin. The next book starts with them trying to ween themselves off of whatever horrible drug they resorted to to avoid heroin :D

and was that Devotchka doing the music?!

I think if it came from a different angle, say specifically from facial recognition software challenges, or specifically questioning the criticism, it would be less touchy. I kinda felt guilty clicking the link. Though going after the criticism itself seems more like it'd be a Jezebel article.

Huh. Matter gets really weird the more in depth you look at it. I guess that explains all the high-speed camera footage of sword strikes wobbling like jello and bullets acting like water.

I can believe it. Air pressure buildup under a still-molten mass of potential candy canes and suddenly you're coated in molten sticky sugar. Good times!

I think this may actually explain a few things. I think it was a Freakonomics thing I read but the decline in violence since the mid '90s has been linked to unleaded fuel becoming predominant, and the essentially lead-poisoned generations were getting too old to be much of a problem. But I know in the south you…

Holllllllly shit that game was so great. Quick! Sys32 is infected, shoot that mofo!

Havn't seen it posted yet but as far as I'm concerned this is my Lord of the Rings:

So underrated! The dialogue was so great, though arguably the delivery is what made it.

I had seen several anime before that, but Cowboy Bebop was just so perfect on so many levels. Definitely made an impression.

That book is incredible. Combined with Kerbal Space Program, I feel pretty solid in my foundations of orbital mechanics.

awww thats damned disappointing to hear. Glad to know they're figuring out a way to recoup though
