At a fundamental level, I have a hard time understanding how one can be against Furry's position. You have a theory, you devise an experiment to test it, you expect to detect something with your experiment within a certain time frame, so when time's up and you have not detected your something...

You don't need to have a better model to point at the flaws of a model. Anyway... I was reading about the tools they use to try and detect gravity waves: basically they split a laser in two, have each half go and bounce on a mirror with paths that are orthogonal and of the same length, join...

I never played them, so I was not 100% sure which one of the AvP games were good on PC. Are you saying both the first and second games were good? I think the good one has like flares you fire to both see and help you navigate but only 3 or 4 can be up at the same time or something similar.

Are we talking Alien: Isolation here? Because it's its own story. So is Alien vs Predator on Jaguar and Alien vs Predator on PC which is basically the 3 good Alien games I believe?

Yeah because it's such a big and risky investment

I think you forget the part where Ripley goes through the whole of the Nostromo and back to save the cat. For me, the horror elements of Aliens are superior to the ones of Alien, because it multiples the places where you do not want to be. In Aliens, we go under the floor, over the ceiling...

If you move to see one, it comes sooner:Total Lunar Eclipses Worldwide - Next 10 years

Nope. We will not all agree on that. Anyway, I was about to whine on the usual lack of non english speaking films in the lists as well as everything being recent movies but... for science fiction it's a bit difficult to really whine about that. There is a tradition of science fiction in...

I had a very good look on the full moon three hours ago before the eclipse started and now I have like a 80% cloud cover with the holes not being cooperative... not cool.

Probably something mundane that will make us once again wonder why we are not focusing our efforts on Venus

I saw something similar before... a long time ago... Ghost in the Shell!

Are we talking about that movie where exposure to rocket fuel turns humans into aliens? The one that starts like a mockumentary, but forgets all about it after 20 min? I am just making sure, because that movie was not very good. It was original though.

I am ok with a prequel if it means more Adrianne Palicki and Clarke Peters!

As a programmer you can bargain collectively to ask for regular checks of the ergonomics of your work space to prevent back/shoulder/neck/elbow/wrist/finger/eyes problems!

Body of Lies was 7 years ago already... am I getting less and less confident in Ridley Scott's ability to make a good movie. In his defense, Robin Hood was not that bad, Exodus and The Counselor have poor source material and Prometheus had Lindelof. He also has The Martian to restore my hope.

When I saw Margin Call in theater I was like "yeah that's pretty good, and there is this great scene about building a bridge" and a few weeks back I landed on it on TV and I got glued to it. Good scene after good scene after good scene. I guess it was easier to appreciate the movie the second...

Not a gun, but a paycheck. Acting will always be a buyer's market, that's why collective bargaining is needed.

I think we are at odds here because we are not seeing eye to eye on what "success" means in that context. If you mean commercial success, I guess it always was obvious to everyone involved that indie games were not and are not the goose laying the golden eggs, but there really are few of those...

It makes sense that screaming all day should come with some strenuous/hazardous work bonus. I wonder if it's something you can train to muscle/reinforce to prevent injuries. I assume professional singers do such things, but I wonder if voice actors do too.

There was a wave on indies in the '80s that would make small run of games on tapes that were sold in consignment in electronic stores in their neighborhood. The 2nd wave of indies though, the one that started in the early 2k with games like Uplink, that predates Steam or indie focused efforts...

I convinced myself it's photochopped because the shadows on the plane don't have the same direction than those on the ground. And I don't care if I am wrong!

The norm for emissions are also different and more stringent in the US. Partly for ecological reasons and partly for thinly veiled protectionism reasons. Apparently, to take a Euro compatible diesel car and make it US compatible, you really need to redesign the engine and that's a very costly...

Don't.

There are games that try to very closely emulate the aesthetic of historic machines, but this game is not one of them! If anything, it looks like an early flash game.

When you think of it... isn't it surprising that competitors didn't figure it out almost immediately? Or do car manufacturers don't analyse in depth the products of their competitors?

Is it me or with this mop Pitt looks like Redford?

Q: Did you play Robert Yang's Rinse & Repeat?

Are you colorblind?

Shower with your dad is a disappointment because the game itself is really lame. Seeing the trailer I thought it would be something over the top crazy likeMuscle March on the Wii, but nope.

It would be funny to be a fly on the walls of the legal department at VW right now. If they were not consulted on the legality of this trick, they must be really really pissed off, and if they were consulted and green lighted it, they must be very very scared.

Not today, but yesterday. Watching TV, I stumbled upon a subject about the psychiatric section in the local prison and one of the mentally ill prisoners they interviewed was a former middle school classmate of mine. That was weird.

That's the part where I want to recommendThe Summit of the Godsand wonder why there is only a partial english language release in the UK.

I had to screen grab this for the 12 year old in all of us. No photochop.

Well... I was looking forward to see what the resident experts on rugby had to say about the surprise win of Japan over South Africa... only to realize there is no Rugby World Cup threadSo now there is one! And, yeah... Rugby World Cup in England. It started Friday and will last until the end...

Yeah, they are looking for the "freshest" ball to help the serve. Depending on the conditions of play, the balls can get fluffy rather fast. In damp conditions, they also absorb moisture, even more so when they end up rolling on the wet covers that are folded at the back of the court or land in...

This managed to be even more frustrating than the Wimbledon final. Djokovic started the match very well and with a mind set that was way more aggressive than in his previous matches of the tournament. Federer, on the other hand, had a nervous start. Maybe feeling the pressure of the moment...

Day 12: And only two were left standing. DJOKOVIC[1] played a decent, solid match, but Cilic [9] certainly did not. Bothered by his swollen ankle and missing a lot, the defending champion meekly sent the World N?1 to the final. vs FEDERER[2] looked at first like he had a tough day at the...

Well... Vinci has a career Grand Slam in double and has been ranked 11 at her best, so she can play tennis. I thought her lack of power would be a deal breaker but... apparently not. I just saw two highlight points (constructions followed to the net for drop volley winners), so I am not sure...

Day 10: We have our semi finals. DJOKOVIC[1] started his quarter final match against Lopez [18] in a frenzy. In less than 20 minutes, he was leading 5-0, putting in play meaningful return after meaningful return in play, alternatively finding the baseline, the feet of the serving and...

Day 8: We have our quarter finals! DJOKOVIC[1] was a bit passive against Bautista Agut [23]. Not the greatest of idea against a guy that barely misses a ball from the back of the court and who is very able to built offensive patterns with his no non-sense brand of tennis. As the spaniard was...
