I saw very little difference in the gameplay of Bioshock1 and infinite. The biggest differences were probably in the enemy types.

Maybe, I doubt it'll get much press in the US since it's in Brazil.

Hehe I think this discussion illustrates the frailty of human language. I ask a question to see if we still don't know how gravity works and I get the following different answers: 1. The newtonian equation for gravity. 2. A discussion of how worrying about why gravity exists is a waste of...

Is it possible for a man to win a fight against a woman? I feel like if I got in the cage with Christine Santos (Who would thoroughly embarrass me) people would still cheer for the woman.

Haha thanks. I was worried about that. Usually when I put money into a new bank I always try to deposit and then withdraw a reasonably large amount (several thousand) before I put more money in. As for BTC being valuable, it just seems like a function of whether it can be used as a currency...

It's a cool idea but I'd be a little annoyed if I bought the game and had to hunt the demo down to get a 'full' experience.

I agree with you that asking why can sometimes be obtuse and unnecessary and a trap. Could you expound upon why you cringe at someone talking about traits surviving because of evolution?

Yeah it's always been easy to find cheap hotels from priceline. I'm thinking we're driving if we go anywhere. Only reason we're travelling now is because I'll lose a bunch of vacation time at the end of the year.

The 'new paradigm!' always makes me chuckle because of how true it is.

Request accepted.

I don't really enjoy philosophical debates and maybe I'm misinterpreting what you're saying but I will say that the details of why something works (In this case, why does mass bend space time?) are often the key to understanding how to both hypothesis its effect on a system as well as how to...

So anyone have a good guide on how to buy bitcoins? Should I just use mtgox.com and do whatever they say?

That's one of our options.

Just worked out for the first time in months. I AM SO HUNGRY NOW

The people have spoken.

This does not look good.

If the Xmas thread didn't exist I would have removed nets already.

I have the next week off. My wife and I have no plans. We don't even care where we go as long as it's warm (50+ degrees). Is there any kind of service that searches for ridiculously cheap last minute flights to warm places? I've tried: Skyscanner - Compare Cheap Flights, Hotels Car...

Re: IT guys whose goal is to reduce the amount of work they do. Sometimes I wonder if it's counter to the goal of an IT dept, which is to help the company have functional computer systems and networks. At some places it seems the more work IT does to automate their job the less useful the IT...

Talking crap about realism in movies is all well and good but come on, every blow to the head doesn't result in skull fractures. That doctor probably thinks someone dies in every boxing match.

RIP wizardhawk

I'm definitely 100% asking the why. The affect of gravity on objects is as obvious as apples falling from trees. The reason for it is unknown.

I will continue to assume that understanding why gravity works will result in flying saucer technology.

Yeah I haven't seen any description of the scope and number of their star systems. Personally if you want exploration to be exciting you need to have a massive planetary wilderness to explore. If it's just a small theme park of highly streamlined content there's no mystery or discovery. I...

Re: Woman bitching about her husband's spending habits. Without knowing the details it's tough to say if it's smart or not. The truth is that most American finances are disasters. Most well-employed people in this country will dole out whatever seems smart to their 401k, then calculate a budget...

I haven't watched Lithose video yet but let me be very specific in what I mean. The equation you brought up describes the way in which gravity affects objects but it doesn't describe why. I get why when I push a pencil it moves because at some level my hand's molecules are bumping into the...

This is pretty big news, and google has recently sucked up a handful of other robotics companies: Google Acquires Seven Robot Companies, Wants Big Role in Robotics - IEEE Spectrum These all seem to be related to bipedal/quadripedal robots (rather than wheeled robots like their world-class...

Tired of letting my wife figure out this fertility thing. Just bought some magnesium and calcium chloride lube, a microscope and some chemical analysis strips and I made a temp spreadsheet. Gonna get this done. TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT

The people have spoken. I hereby declare that 2014 will bring a new, nets free, era to this community.

Stupid question: what's the risk in contaminating that water? Are we afraid we'll unleash life on Mars that will evolve and take us over? Or are we afraid we'll corrupt potential testing areas?

Ok thanks. I'll check it out.

I didn't play the painkiller games but doom3 is nothing like Q3. I might have to try Q4's multiplayer.

I might finally pick this up if you guys think it's ready for me.

TAKEDOWN by Christian Allen, Serellan LLC Kickstarter If there's one complaint I have about modern FPS games it's that they're too slow. They butchered the controls of the classic FPS to make them playable with a joystick. Everything about his pitch sounds like generic squad FPS game where as...

Not doubting Swagdaddy's word but I bet 75% of women who get child support say their men don't pay it. But there's also different laws and I think some are loose enough that the female has to make some serious effort to get child payments, enough that they would have to hurt the man they want...

No because everyone knows condoms suck. It's all about: 1. How much does it cost. 2. How easy is it to get. 3. How easy is it to take correctly. 4. What kind of side effects does it have? Female BC is pretty cheap (If it's subsidized) and widely available but having to take it at the...
