I quite seriously apologise for any possible offence caused by my remark, please don't take it out of context. I cannot emphasise enough how sorry I am if I have caused offence. It was a comment made without due concern for the sensitivities of other genders and I do understand that. I made a *joke* without proper concern for gender stereotypes without qualifying myself properly. My intention was not to harm but merely to amuse.
Hey, it works both ways, I'm just talking from a male perspective... don't be offended. Man-whores are just as damaging to sexual relations (and potentially health, HPV has awful consequences) as an "easy" woman. I'm sorry I didn't use non-specific gender assignation but that just seems like a load of (quoting Neal Stephenson here) bullshyte when I'm trying to make a general reference from a male perspective. I know plenty of women who can do damage with an open mouth too, but apparently saying that may be offensive!
When I read that headline my immediate reaction was, "Uh oh... pseudo-science incoming". However this comes from a paper published in the Journal of Neuroscience and the European Journal of Neuroscience. So perhaps we can enhance our brain through the (in a 1950's movie scientist voice) POWER OF MAGNETS!
This comment got modded troll? Why? Sreiously mods, that was an attempt at a joke (perhaps poorly executed) but it was in no way a troll. This is where modding falls down.
My own reaction was how awful it is that everybody focused on the female school teacher, and not the six others that died.
Fully trained astronauts who have devoted their career to getting into space understand and accept the risks associated with their line of work, she was a school teacher who had "gotten lucky" to get on that flight. The great reversal of fortune combined with the fact that she was not a career astronaut made it in some sense a greater tragedy and in addition a better story for the media.
Interestingly, PTSD is highly correlated with "having actual experiences in the real world". Gaming more than 3 hours a day is, by and large, negatively correlated with "having experiences in the real world", and as such, must be negatively correlated with PTSD.
You obviously missed the part where TFS stated "tracked 1,100 soldiers for a year". These test subjects were outside and although not explicitly stated were presumably in a combat zone when these tests occured.
Gaming can save the world's food crisis by sending people on quests to collect 20 Talbuk ears, the carcass left over afterwards provides a sustainable supply of meat if the respawn rate is high enough.
You missed the point where he was targeting porn fileshareres, so presumably he was attempting to target people who would settle rather than go in to court to explain why they downloaded "Daddy's Little Girl #6" from a Torrent.
In September, ACS: Law was the victim of a cyber attack and it accidentally exposed thousands of its e-mails online when its website went live again.
These e-mails detailed all the people it was pursuing and the pornographic films they were accused of downloading for free.
They pursued porn filesharers? Surely that's about 75% of people who use the internet?
The more I read about MS Kinect hacking, the more I become convinced that there's already a sex simulator aimed at Kinect. I just don't want to go searching and find out.
"We here at Capcom are saddened that we have been caught ripping off this game, now we know that we can't go after Minecraft, Super Meat Boy etc without getting noticed."
While you are technically correct, was there any real need to add the insult when correcting an obviously non-native English speaker for a poor choice in words?
3.52pm: Sewage treatment facilities near Brisbane have broken down, leading to raw sewage pouring into the Brisbane River. Authorities have already urged city residents to conserve water; today Lord Mayor Campbell Newman has warned people against swimming in the city's river because of the potential disease risk.
Right on the money. Although my main question about this report is, wouldn't there be better reasons to NOT swim in the Brisbane River at the moment?
You seem to be missing my point, there's minor PR mistakes and there's screw ups that potentially caused a loss of life. Let's not forget the more serious of the two.

Open devices are like a girl with open legs, convenient but they have their own risks.
Cue car analogies in 3... 2... 1...

It may be enlightened, but can it immanentize the eschaton?
Q: Where do NASA astronauts take their holidays?
A: All over Florida

figured out whether shrooms have the magical properties of getting bigger ?
Certain 'magical' shrooms will appear bigger, more colourful and possibly even talk to you after consumption.

Our new Slashbook interface works great!

Did they ask for fries in the dr... errr, swim through?

You've been reading Snow Crash, haven't you?
Bah, that sounded a lot funnier in my head.

Did Mars move for you too, baby?

So John Vechey, Brian Fiete and Jason Kapalka from Popcap games are about to buy themselves another mansion I guess.
