Consoles are a known hardware platform, which lets you make various optimizations that are impossible in a PC environment (e.g. usage of Placement Textures).
I like Star Trek as much as the next guy, and have seen all of the Original Series, The Next Generation, and Deep Space Nine. I'm currently struggling through Voyager, I've dipped my toe into the Animated Series, and I'm going to at least give Enterprise a shot.
But I wouldn't say Star Trek has much actual philosophical depth. Messages typically boil down to things like "Racism is bad" or "Data is a person too" or "Don't lie" or "Don't pick on Barclay" or "Respect other cultures", and that's ignoring the episodes where Kirk and Spock are running from a witch that turns into a giant cat, or where Geordie accidentally stalks a girl he likes, or Troi goes man-crazy, or Sisko and Crew get trapped in a weird board game.
Sure, there's gems like The Devil in the Dark, Family, and For the Uniform, but those are few and far between.
You mean the demographics haven't undergone a drastic and fundamental shift since the last SV Diversity article from like a month ago?
All those kids we started teaching coding to in the last couple years haven't gone to college yet? Those colleges haven't produced a diverse enough stream of students within the last 6 months? Those students haven't all gotten the 3-5 years of experience to work at Google, Facebook, Apple, etc all within the last several weeks?
Alrighty, you priviliged micro-aggressive misogynistic cis-gendered white males. You've got 3 more weeks to fix all this, or else we'll post another article complaining that the problem still exists >:-(
I'll take the lack of head trauma resulting in eventual death and file it alongside the guy whose lack of sight gives him the powers of echolocation and touch so sensitive that he can sense micro-vibrations in the air.
The only way home I can think of for Snowden is if someone like Rand Paul ends up as President (not ideal, but there are worse choices): 1) He seems to genuinely care about civil rights (is against the Patriot Act, use of drones, government surveillance etc), and this would be an opportunity to put his money where his mouth is 2) Only a Republican would snub President Obama in such a way
So many other logical characters function as the butt of the joke. They're always the ones who "don't get it", or "lack compassion", or seem "out of touch".
Mr. Nimoy, through Spock, showed how such characters can be more than just socially awkward, how through logic one can derive strong ethics, compassion, and integrity.
I barely need my smart phone, why the hell would I want to spend hundreds of dollars on a second, feature-pared screen that has a terrible battery life?
Okay, so it turns out there is no definitive answer on the source of the term "Football". Some people think it's from the fact that you kick the ball with your foot, but others think it's from the fact that you play the game on-foot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F...
Your post is wrong either way, since Football can in fact refer to Rugby, making our usage of the term totally appropriate.
I also have no idea how football will rotate when it is thrown by an right-handed quarterback.... footballs are meant to be kicked, hence the name.
Football does not refer to which part of the body is supposed to connect with the ball (otherwise it'd be called HeadKneeChestHandFootBall), but rather the fact that the game is played on-foot (as opposed to Polo, another old and popular game).

Usually not.
Can they be? Unquestionably, yes.
Cows shit milk?

Whoosh!
Did you read past the first sentence of his post? That's exactly the thing he addresses.
It's so hard to keep up with these things nowadays.
Where's the +1 Chilling mod when you need it?

Fun show!

Fat chance of that happening, though.
That being happy and relaxed every now and then can prolong your life.

A literal inspiration.
The whole "Internet of Things" craze, or article summaries that presume everyone knows the acronym?
I'm sure Bennett will come up with a practical solution.

If you happen to live in central Texas, Game Worlds runs Summer Camps in Austin that teach kids how to make games: http://gameworldscamp.com/
The kids mostly use Construct2 ( https://www.scirra.com/ ), though we also introduce them to Stencyl and Unity.
Full Disclosure: my wife is the owner and director of Game Worlds, and I've developed and taught a lot of the programming curriculum
Guess they should polish up their LinkedIn profiles.

But unfortunately, I have a mild case of cauliflower ear on both sides of my head. So color me as not giving the slightest of fucks.
Sounds like they should give a medal to the guy who gave this guy a medal!
