  1. Re:Oblivion nudity on ESRB Changes Oblivion's Rating to 'Mature' · · Score: 4, Informative

    The parent is correct, the underlying skin of 'female upper body, nude' was only included to allow additional clothing to look correct when it exposed portions of what the bra was covering.

    The nude female skin included in the file isn't even female. The proportions are quite distinctly male as evidenced by the placement of the nipples being way too far appart and thus rendering them on the side of the breasts rather than the front when it is placed over the female upper body mesh in the mod. The mesh file of the supposed nude still distincly shows the folds of the bra (rendered normally as a folded up, dirty off-white cloth going around the upper body) giving the topless characters lumpy shadows where the bra was.

    In other words, this was not a 'hidden' nudity thing. The males can be rendered without shirts and clothing made with exposure of various parts of the upper body. The female was made the same way, and since the nipples would never be shown, it didn't matter that they used the male skin 'skin' for it as well.

  2. Re:Wouldn't a graviton have negative momentum? on New Gravity Theory Dispenses with Dark Matter · · Score: 2, Informative

    No it would not. Just as photons don't have negative momentum just because they pull together oppositely charged objects.

  3. Re:Journey to the center of the earth on The Year In Ideas · · Score: 1

    Of course it can get hotter. 2750 C is the boiling point at one atmosphere pressure. No doubt, the pressure at the center of the earth will be much greater, so much so that the temperature will simply reach equilibrium with it's surroundings and the sensor package will be melted as expected.

  4. Bite Back on Shutting Down Worm-Infected Broadband Users · · Score: 1

    It seems that it should be possible to write a program that waits for compromised systems to attack them and then re-infect the machines with a patch or at least something that prevents further attacks. I mean, these are compromised systems right? They should still be vulnurable. Why can't the good guys use the tools of the bad guys?
