    Hackers Swipe 12 Million Apple Device Codes From the FBI

    I'm greatly surprised by everyone's eagerness to argue and throw philosophical arguments at each other, while no one seems to be interested in verifying AntiSec's (and the FBI's) claims.

    Ever had a game invade your dreams?

    my dreams are pretty much made of game logic and playing habits. Though I never had(or can't conjure the memory of) a dream set in particular game, I found myself reaching for the quickload hotkey after the situation had gone awry or beating someone up brawler style. I even once had an escort...

    non windows keyboards

    I think what you need is an old 80s IBM model M. I hear those things are pretty durable and better built than cheaper models nowadays are, with springs for every key, not rubber dampers. You really have to press the keys on those, and they make a satisfying, loud click. And, of course, no...

    Why do people want to be immortal?

    you could stay hidden and attain the knowledge of millions of years of civilization from your fellow humans. There's always the prospect of creating or, better yet, becoming a technological singularity - by understanding precisely how your brain works, increase your intelligence(cybernetics...

    First game you ever played?

    The earliest memory I have is of me lying on my side, watching my father play "Titus the Fox" on a '386 (in 1996). That's gotta be it. A 1992 platformer with nice graphics and pretty good physics, I remember playing it countless times (didn't have access to many games since we were the only ones...

    What tabs do you have open right now?

    in this tab group, a few blogs, this page, xkcd, minecraft wiki and gmail. in other groups, 50 tabs on ray-tracing and research, 10 on opencl, and finally a few wiki pages on tv series, tpb and my utorrent server. They're not all loaded, but I keep them open - better than having hundreds of...

    Your favorite lesser known band

    Tin Hat (Trio). don't know how known, or rather, little known they are, but flash gamers might remember their song that was used as the intro to TriAchnid:

    Poll: You have to cut off a finger....

    I need all my fingers to type, except my right thumb, which is redundant. Only it's very useful for grasping, so it's hard to say.

    It's the apocalypse, and the protagonist from the game you last played is your teammate.

    anonymous, mute minecraft dude. let's see.. I'd be so safe, it would get boring actually. he'd build a base high in the clouds, building a long railway in the sky by day, and go to his mines at night. he already has had a lot of training killing zombies, creepers, skeletons, whatever, so...

    Have you left WoW and if so why.

    I left wow after tbc. after leveling my rogue to 60 (vanilla account), a feat that took me about 4 months, I realized that I was no good at the game in general, barely ever having more than 100 gold, and high ping meant pvp was really hit or miss. I stopped playing but I was too attached to the...
