    Post Your Workstations 2013

    I have to say this: You have godly taste in aesthetics. The wrist rest isn't my kind of thing but seriously your entire setup is god-tier. Also: Nice speakers & cans.

    Tesla Disputes NY Times Article With Data Logs

    You said it all really. The problem is that there is absolutely 0 accountability in the news industry. You can make up shit and as long as you don't piss off the 'wrong guys' then your employer will just cover your ass (as has been demonstrated here) and you can continue spouting non-truths...

    Tesla Disputes NY Times Article With Data Logs

    Are you kidding me? Did you read the article or did you just skim in order to try to quell the what I can only assume you see as 'reactionary' masses.

    Valve Fires Jeri Ellsworth

    I saw and subscribed to her youtube channel some time last year and yet I still don't mourn for her based on the fact that she was fired. She was determined by administration to be incompatible with what Valve wanted to do and so, in fact, she was in a way, useless to the company at the...

    Game Demos Kill Sales?

    Let me guess, you're the top sniper in the US armed forces and have over 300 confirmed kills? You're going to tell me that I better prepare for the storm next I bet ;)

    Japan to Start 4K TV Broadcast in July 2014

    Yeah uh 4K anime is pretty pointless unfortunately. Ultimately even 1080p is frequently an upscale due to the actual source material being at most 720p. I know of very few anime or indeed much media which ventures beyond 1080p. Now for the article: I have to admit I completely scoffed when I...

    U.S. Attorney Issues Statement On Aaron Swartz Case

    Excellent post, although I'm afraid your words might be lost to the ears of some of the posters on this forum who think they're god's gift to the world.

    Web Pioneer and Activist Aaron Swartz Dead at 26

    If the word 'illegal' completely eliminates all possibility of empathy from you without any regard for what crime they actually committed, then I'd suggest that your feelings on the matter were never worth very much to begin with.

    Web Pioneer and Activist Aaron Swartz Dead at 26

    I'll never understand this shit. The "cheap" way out? Seriously? Everyone dies. Living until the bitter end should not earn you some sort of begrudging respect. There are plenty of old fucks who have simply hurt more and more people the longer they lived. You need to clearly and succinctly state...

    School Can Force Teenagers To Wear RFID

    A. So is public education. B. Well we better pack our bags and end all discussion then. Judge ruled it, therefore we should all just accept it because there's nothing we can do, right?

    What would be your ideal education system? No it doesn't have to be state-mandated. Anyway, land of the free - to do what we tell you.

    Connecticut Town To Burn Violent Video Games

    This has to be one of the very worst threads I've ever seen on this forum. On the one hand we have people actually talking about the OP, but on the other hand we have people defending something that in a sane world would be indefensible. Never mind the fact that in a sane world, humans wouldn't...

    World of Warcraft Players Are Ideal Employees

    Google Glass Development Charges Ahead

    It's interesting I suppose, but seriously call me back when Google are developing a neural interface that I can use to perform actions on my computer just by thinking about it. Programming could be particularly positively affected, but of course the gaming possibilities are endless :)

    Hollywood Sets Box Office Record

    Couldn't agree more. I haven't been or wanted to go to the cinema in years. The vast majority of movies that release I don't even want to see. Even the movies that have been critically acclaimed like Batman, Avengers, Avatar, would have led me to regret spending any money on them. It's just not...

    Online Shopping Causing Retail Real Estate Decline?

    Brit here, but the same thing is happening in the UK. I for one can't wait for all of those stores to close down. I wouldn't mind if the only thing left in the end is Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, etc. It will probably lead to the decline of the part time student job in the process, but that doesn't...

    LG to make a 30inch 4k res Display

    I'll be in when the price drops below $1K, so maybe 5 years. Not sure that I want a "30 monitor though. I'd prefer multiple 24" monitors. Sure they'll be useless for watching TV for a very, very long time, but I can quite easily appreciate higher DPI on a desktop. All we need now is a single GPU...

    Apple CEO Pay Fell 99% In 2012

    It's honestly so amusing to me watching you try to be the voice of reason in this thread. Your posts are probably the most balanced and realistic in this thread, yet of course we have people who essentially are happy to just accept the status quo because after all the status quo is there for a...

    India Will Soon Have Its 'Own' Operating System

    But if they still get paid for it in the end don't they win the game regardless? Hate the game not the players and all that. I wish I could get paid to make software that doesn't work. It'll have to wait I guess.

    Google’s Nexus 7 Tablet is on Fire — Literally

    Working at a data center would become one of the most hazardous occupations, probably next to open warfare if that was the case. I'd take that job.

    Will Moore’s Law Become Irrelevant?

    Huh? why would you want that? I'd settle for a 4K resolution screen @ 120hz and then use the rest of the horsepower to ray-trace in real time.

    Experts Raise Concerns Over Superhuman Workplace

    It's been happening for a long time now to be honest. It's amazing thinking about just how few people really need to be working in order to provide everyone with goods and services. Greece is at around 25% unemployment IIRC, with is an insane figure. I believe that it's only downhill from here...

    FCC Eyes Tax on Internet Service

    Y'know, I know this is totally off-topic, but we're already at the free for all stage. You sound pretty bitter. In all likely-hood you know more about history then me. So I ask you: Just what is your view on the world? It seems as though you don't particularly have faith in your own country, let...

    FCC Eyes Tax on Internet Service

    As a brit I have no stake in this but seriously, If you want internet throughout your country with fair pricing, then you need to cut the monopoly crap these private corporations have on your infrastructure. Say whatever you want about privatising other things but imho, your infrastructure...

    The Official Guild Wars 2 thread

    I've heard multiple reports of Scan doing just that (with your permission of course), except they email you the code. I don't know if Game will do the same. Worst case scenario I get it on the 30th though so It's cool.

    The Official Guild Wars 2 thread

    I think that there should have been a 'first warning' system where you are simply asked to rename your character the first time for naming issues. Then again, I lack any sympathy for people who made utterly clutch character names, trying to push the rules as far as possible e.g "Wan Ker" "D I C...

    /tinfoil :D I've placed an order on game (forgive me, it was the cheapest with 2 day delivery). I don't see myself getting the code emailed to me today, so I'll probably try to ring them early tommorow to see if they can get it from the box with my permission before they ship it out. Looking...

    Teen Arrested For Trolling Tweet

    I find it hard to feel any pity for him. Maybe if he was making hard-hitting prudent points on what our government should doing and commenting on the problems in society and then he got arrested. But no, there's already at least a billion douchebags on this planet, he just happens to be one of...
