  1. Re:Grown up games on The Grown-Up Video Game · · Score: 1
    Defcon?

    Office mode

    In Office mode, the game runs in real time and cannot be sped up. The game can be quickly forced to the background making the computer available for other use, or simply to make it appear the gamer is actually working. While the game continues to run in the background, a system tray icon will notify the gamer of certain events as they occur. The office mode hotkey, sometimes referred to as the boss key, is activated by striking the escape key twice in rapid succession. A game in office mode lasts no more than six hours. The boss key is available in all game modes, but it is designed for this mode in particular.

    I don't understand why logging in online to play singleplayer would upset someone

    You've obviously never been on a long airplane flight.

    On a Mac, command click opens a new tab in the foreground with command click and in the background with command shift click. I'm pretty sure you can just use ctrl shift click on Windows/Linux.

  4. Re:Missed market on Pen Still Mightier Than the Laptop For Notetaking? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    When I took notes in my Calculus courses on my laptop, the teachers would always be (reasonably) suspicious. But I actually used OS X's Grapher.app, which allows me to type formulas pretty quickly and easily, using a lot of the shortcuts found in LaTeX, and then I just copied and pasted them into my notes. I can't remember the last time I used a paper notebook.

    Actually, he did. From the paper:

  6. Re:But ... does this work? on Man Uses Drake Equation To Explain Girlfriend Woes · · Score: 1

    But he already isolated for age in another part of the equation. Since age and attractiveness aren't independent variables, he has to account for that for his probability to be accurate.

    Look, I know you said not to ask, but I really have to know the source of this now.

  8. Re:No toggle? on Zune HD Twitter App Censors Tweets For You! · · Score: 1

    While it may not be censorship, per say, I don't see why a negative review of an app, even if it's free, should inherently be considered a "waste of time."

    If you're referring to the Mac OS X Dock when you say taskbar, that existed with NeXTStep 1.0, which came out in 1989.

  11. Re:They've totally lost the plot on MPAA Asks Again For Control Of TV Analog Ports · · Score: 1

    There's an application for Mac OS X called Snapz Pro X that will record whatever is on your screen. You can choose a subsection of the screen if you like. It will also record the audio.

    The ADA specifies 5 covered entities. Tell me which if these is a video game:

    3. Public Transportation: no
    4. Public Accommodation: no
    5. Commercial Facility: no (virtual doesn't count)
    6. Telecommunication: That's as close as you're going to get, but I'm going to go with 'no' on this as well.

    While we're at it:

    What if they're both professional heavyweight boxers, set to face off for the heavyweight title?
    What if they run into each other at a public masquerade ball, one seduces the other, and they don't figure it out until they wake up the next morning?
    What if there are three people, person A with a restraining order against B, B against C, and C against A, and they all simultaneously stalk each other?

    The mysteries of restraining orders are seemingly endless!

  14. How is the GPS installation physically done? on Massachusetts Police Can't Place GPS On Autos Without Warrant · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How is the GPS installation physically performed? Do they have a cop walk up to a car and clip it onto the bottom, all while hoping no one notices? What if the car is in a garage? What if you see them putting the GPS on your car, after they have obtained a warrant? Are you allowed to take it off?

    Also, in UFC, when the fighter is knocked out, even for an instant, the fight is over. In boxing, they have a ten count that allows them to get back up and continue fighting.

    However, this release was due to a court order.

    Right. The person who should be sued here isn't Google, who had no choice, but Liskula Cohen, who forced them to release the information.

    Yep, he just said "fuck it" and went home. I doubt he got fired.

    You should have called and cancelled the service, citing that specific reason. If enough people did that, maybe incompetence would actually get them fired.

    Not everyone has the resources and energy to constantly fight when their own lives and freedoms are on the line. They were ultimately intimidated by the state and gave in. The system is indeed at fault here.

    So, your traditional porn is still safe in the US. There is porn and then there is sick minded porn. This addresses the more violent side that porn can take.

    Just beacuse I don't enjoy something doesn't mean others don't have the right to.

    The least popular speech is the speech that needs the most protection. No one's rights here were infringed until the porn producers were sent to prison, and the only offenders are agents of the government.
