It does act as a proof of concept. If taken to its logical conclusion, this would allow mindlink -- a form of limited telepathy -- with all sorts of practical applications. Both participants must have the right equipment and training, and be otherwise connected, but think of, say, the kind of...

I would have preferred the article to clarify that marijuana is a mild hallucinogen (psychadelic) rather than a narcotic.

Depends on the type of bullet and where you're hit. Some bullets won't consistently kill even on a headshot. Other types will kill you consistently unless you're hit in a far extremity (foot or hand). There are all sorts of ways a bullet can kill someone: 1. Hit in a primary organ (brain, heart...

Good luck changing that law. Constitutional amendments require a 2/3 majority vote in both the House and Senate, and then 3/4 of the states must approve it. While the 2/3 vote is unlikely but technically possible, the 3/4 states part simply will not happen. Too many states are gun-loving states...

I disagree. Even if it gets tied down in the civvie market, the Military would probably pick it up. And if the Military picks it up, it eventually comes back to the civvie market again, this time without a chance of being canned.

This. Ever eat in Parisian restaurants? It's (at least) $200 per day to feed a family of 4 if you don't have a kitchen.

60 meter asteroid; the worst it could do is level an inner-urban area and cause billions in damages, but most likely it will just smash into the ocean.

Without reading the article, the reason for this seems obvious to me. The slinky is one long elastic object, each section pulling on the other one with as much force to exactly counteract gravity. Dropping it at the top takes time to travel down to the bottom (elastic object), but until then...

Probably good that it's being patented so that fewer companies use it.

Thanks!

The study fails to take into account that players tend to buy longer games or games with a better multiplayer lifespan simply because it's a big ticket item. Even if they never play through all the content, if it's a large, rich world, they'll be more likely to buy it. There's no reason for...

They silently fixed the cache exploit that lots of custom game hackers were using to cheat with.

Technically it's your-age porn. I don't consider this to be a crime worth a jail sentence for a minor. A crime worth a 1-5 year jail sentence for an adult, yes. However the real crime is the sick fuck who MADE the porn. That's where the lifetime in jail should be targeted at.

It's more expensive than any other firearm. I can only see this used in corporate back-dealing with shady characters...

The problem with 3D technology today is that their method of implementing it is pretty hackish. You see in 3D every day but don't get headaches from it, so I find it funny that the "3D" used in consumer products has this effect. Wake me up when 3D has actual depth (can focus on any part of the...

Arrays, being in the memory, are actually pretty fast. Also, arrays don't count toward the operations limit. Seriously, with only a thousand strings, it's not much of a big deal. I would suggest writing a prototype in C to test the speed, and then multiply the time by some large number (10x...

More people will use UE3. Really, they're preparing for the future. This is a very good idea on their behalf.

Given how good UE3 is, a 25% royalty is very reasonable.

Sick fuck. That idiot should have been looking for obsidian. Besides, there's no way a shed can fit a 4m x 1m x 5m upright hell portal.

I'm assuming you mean the radial dial shade effect? Can't be done without the use of flash. Which is unimplemented.
