    Why Skyrim Should Have Been Delayed: An Argument in Pictures

    It's always so cute when people pretend they know even a modicum of computer programming.

    Anyone else find this law stupid (Not about marijuana) ?

    *sigh* And this is why I fully acknowledge that I'm a corporate sell out. There are very good reasons to restrict user membership to 18+ when you're talking about a major transaction site and money. And there are legitimate legal reasons to not risk it. Also, claiming that just because he...

    Anyone else find this law stupid (Not about marijuana) ?

    You have to be at least 18 for that as well. And when you're dealing with serious accounting and real money, this is really not something you want to fuck around with. In some places, the only easy way to legally obtain a bank account before 18 is basically to get emancipated.

    It's not even remotely unusual for a bank to refuse bank accounts to minors unless it's a joint account.

    Poll: The Witcher for 5 dollars : Should I get it?

    I would hesitate if it were the full price, but it's definitely worth $5. As others said, it's annoyingly immature - but almost solely when the main character opens his mouth. So yeah, that was my biggest complaint about the game: I wanted to punch the main character in the face most of the...

    Character Gender, and the Picture on the cover.

    This post from Priestly is very true. Also remember that the marketing team is a different team from other areas of the game. The thing is, guys (white guys, to be precise) are so used to seeing someone who looks like them on the covers, or as the main character, that they don't know how to...

    Should students be given free software for school?

    Given the examples of software in the OP, I don't think we're talking about the useless annoying programs teachers like to force on us for fun (I'm looking at you, Math 45 with your useless stupid ODE Architect that you need about 2 years to learn how to use even minimally for a half-term class)...

    Should students be given free software for school?

    Lol. This post makes it obvious that you are involved in a field that does neither graphic design nor group writing. GIMP and Photoshop are no where near on the same level. And OO.o only works if everyone uses it (or a pre-2003 version of Word) or you don't let anyone else touch the file after...

    Poll: Which is the best Assassin's Creed game?

    Having played through AC2 twice, I went back to AC and I actually love it even more. AC2 was insanely better in terms of gameplay and mechanics, and I love AC2, but the original was truly the best story and I'm a story-nerd. Furthermore, the skills I gained from all that practice in AC2 actually...

    Portal 2 on PC - Washed out colors?

    Actually, if you look at the blue and orange of the confirmation signs, you can see that the PC version is much brighter. The PS3 version does have the reddest red, however on the PC version I bet that can be fixed by actually calibrating your screen colors like no one ever bothers to do but...

    Poll: Portal 2: Should I get the PS3 or the 360 version?

    Haven't tried Portal 2 on this thing, but Portal 1 runs completely fine on the 12" Asus Eee. Portal 2 has pretty much the same specs and is technically running on the same engine without seemingly a lot of enhancement (you might have to really, really bump the graphics down, but I mean...

    Poll: The Liberal Arts and You; The Importance of the Liberal Arts in the Modern World

    Okay, perhaps I count as biased here, but hear me out. The liberal arts are important. The liberal arts are about teaching how to think, and how to access a wide variety of knowledge across a wide spectrum of fields regardless of your abilities and preferences. I believe a thorough...

    Question for all High School Students?

    My opinion is that: 1) in day schools, blocking is pointless. Students will always find a way around it. Furthermore, if we're talking library computers etc., the fact of the matter is that most of their users aren't doing homework and don't need to, they're just passing time while they're...

    Interesting take on Portal 2's ending...

    Okay, true. But it still shouldn't be where it was unless you hit the moon right near the edge, whereas from what I recall from the ending it was closer to the center than that...

    Interesting take on Portal 2's ending...

    Actually, there's no evidence that there weren't loads of facility between you and the surface, and they've all just fallen away because Wheatley was doing such an incompetent job at taking care of the place. On the other hand, my opinion for the implausibility is the moon itself. Think about...
