I personally feel like it's only a matter of time before it stabilizes. Maybe guilds are the answer, maybe unions. I'm not sure. Regardless, I think a lot of good would come from studios being smaller and working on a game for longer. That sort of stability would give them the opportunity to phase developers in…

I feel like this focuses too much on emotion and tries to apply statistics to an individual when that's not the point of statistics. The argument for removing this stipulation should just be along the lines of "we want more blood and HIV tests are now quick and easy, so this should no longer be a concern."

Well, I've been writing a book that takes place 1400 years in the future and just hand-waved away the idea of turning Mercury into a Dyson Swarm in that time period. I never would have guessed that any estimation could consider it so swift an activity.

While I fully agree that things go way too far in a lot of situations, Miss Fortune isn't supposed to be armored... There are some champions in League like Janna, Miss Fortune, and Evelynn that aren't even trying to be armored. Are they hyper-sexualized? Absolutely. Are they trying to be armored? No.

My understanding was that from a biological perspective, the point of the contractions associated with female orgasms were for the purpose of pulling in the semen to increase the likelihood of fertilization. Having a harder time getting off when men you don't know kind of seems like the objective of the system so you…

I can fully understand the emotional reaction to seeing depth. I'm colorblind, and it appears that my brain has done some weird compensation as it struggles to render color correctly. Ever since I had a dream in which I could see red (for some reason despite lacking the green cone, my brain has made me incapable of…

My gosh, this is fantastic. If/when I have children, I shall do so with them.

.. I actually kinda prefer the colored version.. If nothing else, it would give the government more ways to impede counterfeiting..

From the sound of it, the white blood cells go to wherever there is damage/cell death. Chemo causes cell death in the tumor, so they flock there and then the virus goes on a killing spree. I'd assume the real trick is making it so that the virus doesn't wipe out things it isn't supposed to (like bone marrow for…

It wasn't their servers getting breached. "Verizon has explained to The Next Web that the data actually came from a third party marketing firm"

Something I've never really understood is why some people consider it a problem that we appear to be alone in the cosmos.. If interstellar races became aware of our existence, how quickly do you think they'd raze Earth to the ground? If we aren't alone and intelligent life is in fact common (something I personally…

Really doubt this will happen even next century. My guess is that we're going to be like this until interplanetary colonization sparks wars and it is simply foolish to not unify on a planetary scale.

My passwords almost always revolves around 3 codes I've been given over the years. Of course, sometimes I'll make a password the name of a character in my half-written novel or something (my router for instance is this way), but most of the time, it's some conglomeration of codes that I've had beaten into my head for…

it's so cute..

lol I was going to say exactly the same thing

I thought Alzheimer's was caused by protein buildups damaging neurons over time, not neurons firing haphazardly... How is this going to do anything useful?

In my lifetime? No. My great*30-grandchildren? Sure. As a programmer, I know the software for that kind of an AI is stupidly distant, but will likely eventually happen. That said, if a doctor uses a DaVinci robot on me, sure. When the technology arrives, sure, but it isn't here and won't be in my lifetime.

Talked to a guy from the NSA last year that said they were working on something to replace passwords as we know them. Didn't say what though.
