  4. May not be possible on No Space Porn (For Now) · · Score: 4, Informative

    According to an article in Wired, there has already been some Russian research done in this area:

    From tfa
    There are no dead man's sticks in space. And no matter how stressed anyone gets, they can't even enjoy a little release by manipulating their own joystick: One of the effects of weightlessness is reduced blood flow to the lower half of your body. The rumor in Star City is that many have tried in vain to get it up out there. "There vas top-secret program of this," Driga says. "But the man could not perform. Viagra vill not help."

    So it may not be possible to perform in zero g, not enough blood flow to the lower extremities.

  5. Soon to be heard on Japanese Stealth Fighter Announced as 'Return of the Zero' · · Score: 1

    Banzai!!!!!

  6. star wars games are all good games on KOTOR Will Rise Again · · Score: 1

    From the Next gen article http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_conte nt&task=view&id=4236&Itemid=32&limit=1&limitstart= 1 "Star Wars games, nowadays, are almost always good games." This shows you how arrogant Lucasarts is. I personally love Star Wars but the majority of the games created under the franchise are crap. There have been a few absolute gems, but the company needs to take some cues from the companies that actually complete their games before releasing them.

  7. In other news on Gamers Divorced From Reality? · · Score: 1

  12. MSEE on Best Degree to Pair w/ a B.Sc. in Computer Science? · · Score: 1

    Master of Science in Electrical Engineering. EE is still highly sought after and a lot of schools will accept a CS degree to cover 99% of the requirements to enter a masters program. I am currently in school for my MSEE...

  13. Market Constraints on Ohio Wants eBayers to Post $50k Bond · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Given the apprenticeship requirements, how much you want to bet the companies behind this are the auction houses. Sounds a lot like other market entry constraints put into place by businesses wanting to keep a greater market share. Similar contraints are put into place in just about every job market that has historically been around for a long time. Look at the Legal, Accounting, and trade fields and all the hoops professionals in those fields have to jump through to be successful.

  14. Sooper pricey, must be the licensing fees... on Windows CE R/C Transmitter · · Score: 1
    $2200.00 for a radio is insanity.. I have their current top of the line 9Z and I use it for helicopters, I spent $800 on it 2 years ago. I wonder how much MS is getting from each sale...
