    Linux Developers Threaten to Pull “Kill Switch”

    I am curious as to your thinking on this. Do you think that the only people who have skill are massive douches to everyone? This is not the end of the world, and in a couple of weeks, everyone will have forgotten all about it.

    Linux Developers Threaten to Pull “Kill Switch”

    You're right, I don't have the right to tell other people not to be dicks. However, I DO have the right to say "Don't be a dick in my house, and if you are a dick in my house, I will kick your ass to the curb." This is what Linus, and the others who signed-off on the CoC are saying. Nobody...

    Linux Developers Threaten to Pull “Kill Switch”

    I am being serious. I also find it interesting that people disagree with the force-feeding of "Don't be a dick to people". I mean, it's like saying that "I don't agree with murder per-say, but I just don't think we should have laws force-fed down our throats to make it illegal". I also don't...

    Linux Developers Threaten to Pull “Kill Switch”

    I wonder if anyone commenting has actually READ the CoC, or if you're all blindly jumping on the anti-SJW bandwagon? Just look at the toxic environment created here by a bunch of people who are triggered by this one short document. One of these days, you will realize that YOU are the reason...

    Skyrim VR for PC April 3 (With oculus support!)

    It's been a while since I played Skyrim, so I figured, why not. I paired it with Natural Locomotion, and it's absolutely amazing. Watching my first snowfall from a tower in the mountains was absolutely breathtaking. Is it perfect? No, of course not. Is it worth it? Without a doubt.

    Razer Announces Lancehead Gaming Mice with "World's Most Precise" Sensor

    I've used both Razer and Logitech mice. My Razer mice lasted longer than my Logitech mice ever did. It is a shame that their software requires you to create a Razer account for pretty much no reason at all (though the cloud storage for macros/profiles is pretty handy, TBH)

    New Duke Nukem game coming

    I, for one, would love to see a remake of Duke Nukem 3D. That was a great game, and if nothing else would probably serve to remind the developers what a Duke game is supposed to be like.

    FBI Pilot Program Has Collected 430,000 Iris Scans

    Yes, patterned contact lenses (Iris scans are typically taken in the IR range, so there is no color information) can interfere with iris scans. This is why you need a trained operator who can identify these sorts of countermeasures.

    FBI Pilot Program Has Collected 430,000 Iris Scans

    Iris scan != retina scan. The iris is the colored portion of your eye, and does not require you to be super close. You still have be to be close enough to get a good image of the iris, but certainly not right up against it. There has even been research into capturing irises at greater...

    Bill Gates 1995 DOOM Video

    The ammo count didn't decrease when he shot the monster at 2:07. I guess standards were lower back then. :p

    Twitter's Layoffs With 'Utmost Respect' Have Begun

    This is rather misleading: 1. He was a remote employee working from home. HR could not visit him personally. 2. HR DID call to notify him, but the call went to voicemail. I don't know what else they could have done. Can't have an employee be unfireable just because he doesn't answer his...

    Why Do Most Gaming Mice Programs Use Macros To Assign Keys To A Mouse Button?

    You can do this with Razer mice using Razer Synapse. It's not even an advanced feature or anything. Do other mice really have this problem?

    Vertagear SL2000 Gaming Chair Review

    I would hope that the Steelcase Leap is better than the SL2000 , considering it costs over three times as much.

    That game that everyone hates, but you love...

    Gothic series: A lot of people bemoan the combat in the Gothic games, but I enjoyed the combat system. The world was gritty, and fairly real (at least for its time). I also liked how they typically used stronger monsters to keep you out of areas, rather than invisible walls, and other...

    Fallout 4 Has No Level Cap

    But the bugs are the best part of any Bethesda game! I wonder if they need to change the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. / skill system for this, or if they'll just let you max out your character.
