    Your post was too short to say something sufficiently retarded to take issue with. We'll wait.

    The Astronomy Thread

    Kepler was the first satellite purpose-built to find planets, which is why it founds hundreds and hundreds of them. Otherwise most other satellites/telescopes that have been able to find planets are only able to do so because of flukes or unique circumstances. Even Kepler can only find the tiny...

    Why do men keep putting me in the Girlfriend-zone?

    Not all of them want to have sex with me at all times. It's total bullshit man.

    My opinion is this: if it were so obviously producing net energy, he'd submit it to proper independent testing yesterday. Instead we've been getting led along for years with little snippets of information here and there. I'll be surprised if it's as revolutionary as he claims it to be. Maybe...

    black islamist beheads British soldier in London

    Because for the most part, it's not necessary. If the UK didn't have a murder rate a quarter of what it is in the US, you might have a modicum of a point. I think if anything it's admirable that many of their police don't need to be armed to the teeth. Even in this particular case, armed police...

    I'm not sure that that's true at all. Shit has come a long way since the Le Mans disaster:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1955_Le_Mans_disaster I would imagine that most people viewing a race at a professional race course/track would have a reasonable expectation of safety, given the huge walls...

    Why do men keep putting me in the Girlfriend-zone?

    Why does it have to be a failing, necessarily? Like I said before, I think it's just a fundamental difference in how men and women tend to bond with others. The majority of men have a larger circle of close male friends than a typical women has female friends. Females tend to have more transient...

    That Horizon song sounds exactly like Pink Floyd. Exactly. And I mean that in a good way. At least the start does, I'm only halfway through. Loving it.

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Not really. The game engine is terribad, and the gameplay itself is pretty shallow. It can be fun for awhile, and for $10 it's probably a decent buy, but don't expect anything all that good.

    Vancouver, BC

    I don't know Van's neighborhoods very well, so I can't really comment on what that one in particular is like in terms of being "nice" etc. But that's in an area of mostly single family homes with some larger apartments and strip malls. It's not quite suburbia, but it's not urban and overly...

    Actually in Soviet Canuckistan we don't have to pay taxes on lottery winnings or other prizes. Not sure of the exact details, like if the entity running the contest has to pay the taxes on behalf of the winner or if they're just totally tax free. Yeah, it's going to be a complicated mess, on...

    Why do men keep putting me in the Girlfriend-zone?

    I dunno, from my perspective, it's more because I really don't have much interest in being friends with women. They're a pain in the ass most of the time, and I most of the shit I enjoy doing in my spare time isn't shit that most chicks are interested in doing. I'm not saying that men and...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Yeah... no. CRA doesn't have to answer a goddamn thing. That's the way it works with tax authorities. You have to prove to them that you're not making income from it, for example because the cost of mining the coins in the first place (electricity + hardware) is more than they are worth.

    Vancouver, BC

    heh, Vancouver is one of the most expensive cities on the planet. Not as bad as some like Moscow, Hong Kong etc, but it's up there. Downtown living there is very nice, however, with tons of entertainment, food and so on. Good transit because everything is so compact. And yeah, you'll want to...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Yeah, the type/source of currency is pretty irrelevant to whether or not a government can tax someone on transactions in it. As a Canadian, just because I invested on the American stock exchange with American dollars, doesn't mean that the CRA can't come after me for income taxes on dividends or...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Totally dependent on the type of star it is orbiting. And my understanding is that it was just short of the time required to observe a planet like Earth orbiting a Sun-like star three times, but perhaps I'm wrong on that. From the New Scientist article I posted before: Near as I can tell, it's...

    Metro: Last Light

    So whose fault is it that you're a dumbass and paid full price for the game? Was it marketed as being unusually long for a FPS? Was it marketed as having a lot of replayability? Was it marketed as having multiplayer? No? Then what the fuck are you complaining about? It's common knowledge that...

    The Astronomy Thread

    It's not just that we're blind for a few years. It's that to confirm Earth-like planets around Sun-like stars, it was imperative that it last another year or two. It needs to see at least 3 transits before it can confirm a planet candidate, and it will fall short of that for Earth-like...

    There was rumor of a Nexus 5 a month or two back being announced at I/O, but as far as I know that hasn't happened. Keep in mind the Nexus 4 is only 6 months old at this point, so I wouldn't expect anything too huge in terms of an upgrade if they do release something this spring.

    The other thing to keep in mind for people living in those cities, whether in the US or similar ones in Europe, Asia and so on is that you don't spend much time at home when you live in a city like that. You don't need a backyard, because you have parks everywhere. You don't need a home theatre...

    What? The older S5's V8 puts out about 340 hp and 325 lb/ft of torque, by the powers of Google. The 335's inline 6 twin turbo puts out 300 hp and 295 lb/ft. The Audi has a curb weight 250 pounds or so heavier, near as I can tell. Not to mention that the V8 isn't even available in the S5 anymore...

    Back when all the shit was blowing up with FOH and Morenetz, the "real" Evelys somehow found out that the fake one was using her picture in this community. I don't remember the exact details of how they knew each other or how she found out. Much hilarity ensued.
