  1. The real question... on Revenge Of The Highbrow Games · · Score: 1
    From TFA:
    The real question is, are there any games whose level of cultural acceptance as an elite form approaches that of other media?
    No. Games are simply not generally accepted as being culture. They are, in certain circles, and they'll become more and more accepted as being culture as more and more people play them (because, I think, it's only a question of age), but today? No, today there is no cultural acceptance similar to other genres. We will have achieved this acceptance when, next to reading Shakespeare, listening to Mozart and looking at Da Vinci, students will have to play Myst in their education.
  2. IGDA on Older Gamers, More Accessible Game Features? · · Score: 1

    The International Game Developers Association (IGDA) has a Special Interest Group (SIG) about accessibility. There are some really interesting links and documents to be found. Search it yourself at http://www.igda.org/accessibility/.
    Also [shameless plug] this year's Retro Remakes Competition (scroll down till Competition to see the rules, or search the news to find the games entered) was held with disabled gamers in mind. At least in that community, accessibility is kept in mind.

  3. Re:Help on New Record Prime Found · · Score: 1

    Try n=8.

  4. Re:Woo Woo science on Under the Hood of Quantum Computing · · Score: 5, Funny
    any approach thus far is good at (a) or (b), but not both.
    Ooh, Heisenberg-approaches!
  5. Every possibly direction? on Physicists Control the Spin of a Single Electron · · Score: 1
    They are able to rotate the axis to every possible direction
    I thought there were, like, only 2 of those?
  6. Top Secret? on New Version of Mac OS X Leopard Leaked · · Score: 1

    Any news on the Top Secret parts of Leopard that were going to baffle us all? Or aren't they included in this build (that would make some sense, actually)?

  7. Portal on Echoes of Episode Two · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Well... It doesn't really matter for me what Episode 2 is all about, as long as this is included...
