    Blizzard to Remove "Sexy" Tracer Pose in Overwatch - Update

    Wait, you mean the giant corporation making a giant AAA game for maximum mass market appeal doesn't care about a singular artistic vision? Well no fucking shit.

    FBI: 1 Apple:0. The iPhone has been cracked

    For now. I'm sure this is a battle that will be fought in many arenas, in many forms, over many years. We have to stay pretty vigilant on this one. Probably, while the truth is just that Israel is on the forefront of a lot of practical STEM applications.

    FBI: 1 Apple:0. The iPhone has been cracked

    Not to mention that the ability to snoop EVERYWHERE without leaving a trace is the whole point. The entire "intelligence" infrastructure has turned into a giant data-sink. It's all about gathering, with the idea that somehow they'll finally discover an algorithm that doesn't just add more to...

    FBI: 1 Apple:0. The iPhone has been cracked

    Who said anything about classified? I said propriety. BIG FUCKING DIFFERENCE.

    It's the greatest vehicle for a light cheese sauce that has been made.

    What are you most excited for from the next generation of cards?

    I'm excited for a memlogic optronic matrix which achieves sentience and takes over my computer to binge on porn.

    Poll: Best Pasta Shape

    This is why I only eat pasta shaped like high-end designer clothing shops; I find little hotties hiding in the nooks and crannies!

    FBI: 1 Apple:0. The iPhone has been cracked

    Not to mention that this suddenly puts the shoe, however awkwardly, on the other foot. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/03/fbi-breaks-iphone-and-we-have-some-questions

    18 Oculus Rift Reviews and First Impressions

    I'm not going to be a gen 1 adopter, but I'm thrilled about this. The lack of issues with motion sickness in particular, now that we have more than devs using it, is pretty good. In particular, I like how genuinely immersive it seems to be, and how good the tracking is. I look at this, and the...

    Accents Are Beautiful.

    I think it comes from their love of eels. Australians like eels right? Australians are the small furry quadrupeds, long tail, pointy ears, hunts mice and birds, goes "meow" a lot? Australian, right?

    Poll: Best Pasta Shape

    These pasta were designed for different applications, which is why there are so many and so many subtle variations. I wouldn't want pappardelle aglio e olio, or angel hair with a short rib ragout, would you? I like big, robust noodles for big, thick sauces. Thinner, more delicate noodles that...

    FBI: 1 Apple:0. The iPhone has been cracked

    I think that not only have you gloriously missed the point of what the FBI were after, and how badly they failed, but you also threw in that odd piece about McAffee as though he were not deranged. There is an Israeli company that was tapped apparently, not some random speed head. YES! Maybe...

    Accents Are Beautiful.

    I love accents too, and the UK in particular has such a wealth of them. Could two people who live closer together sound less alike than a someone from Yorkshire, and someone from Liverpoole? You have to travel halfway across the US to get that kind of regional variation. I love the accents...
