The evidence you use to support your point is poorly written and really fucking sexist. Had you meant that female geeks are just like all other geeks you might have had a point but instead, it was that all women everywhere, ever, are just out to tie up the men with court proceedings, all in the...

To get any kind of misconception out of the way first, I am not an artist. Stepping beyond stick figures would be a leap of genius. As such the very different reactions that abstract art inspires remain a mystery. Some adore it while others loathe it. Works such as Dance...

Alex from A Clockwork Orange. Yes, he is indeed the villain, he's just presented in a very empathic light rendering it difficult to dismiss him as someone to be loathed. Part of this comes from Burgess' language, the way that Alex acts as the narrator and his reference to the reader as his "only...

Would a black character who constantly went on about fried chicken, a gay character who fussed around the house with a duster while in the latest fashion or an over-zealous Vegan, telling the main character off for doing anything to hurt animals be offensive? If yes, then so are other...

Does pirated music make concerts obsolete? The atmosphere and experience of a theatre is vastly different to that of a home-movie viewing. It is a more social activity to leave the house for a movie and can provide a medium for all sorts of other things*. . . . . . . *Disease may be...

Let them come. This kind of a thing is going to stir up all sorts of grass roots shenanigans. There'll be anti-censor action and freeware proxy programmes available soon. The blocks won't be anything that a decent hacker can't break in half an hour or so. If they are better than that, it...

It's a literature thing really. Could also be considered a pun. The display picture should help those still uncertain.

Fair to imagine that any number of other fans are busy kicking themselves for not taking the initiative to do the same. Who wouldn't want something like that to frame and strut around in front of to the envy of their gamer friend?

Some would be malleable to the concepts of gaming but others not so much. There's none so blind as those who would rather crucify their retinas than change their views. Similar issues are faced by any number of demographics who find themselves persecuted. The unfortunate reality is that the...

Cross-genre games are of particular interest. Some mesh better than others, for example Deus Ex melds First Person Shooter with Roleplay very well whereas a mesh between Real Time Strategy and Stealth would require so much more work to achieve a worthwhile result. Why bridge genres? It makes...

Such things are a crude means to an end. As Labyrinth pointed out there are long standing divisions according to expectation. Of course asking forums, male-dominated ones at that, questions is a poor way to try and breach the gap but an alternative may not be obvious. The people here are...

Satire is satire is refrigerator. The point you're trying to make is fair enough but there are better ways to go about it.

Slick move there, buster. This kind of prejudice has something to do with the image of long hair as unkempt and scruffy. It's a little amusing when you consider that in Victorian England and the like long hair was a very masculine feature.

This could wind up just being a clusterfuck. With so many people communication will be a problem. Ideas won't get perfected because the buck keeps passing on. Or they could use bigger whips on the codemonkeys than usual to really give something worthwhile. Yeah. Right.

The whole thing is fucked. So many people pulling so much bullshit over the eyes of the public. It's one big scam from start to finish and any legislation made in the mean time is entirely co-incidental. The first hair has been nipped from the boil, but the puss remains.
