Commented on "Malcolm X was bisexual. Get over it."
Since when? In all the 25-or-so years I spent growing up in the UK, nobody used "black" except to refer to people of African descent. Perhaps it's a regional thing? I cringe every time my dad refers to "coloureds" but...

Commented on Off-course pilots were laptopping-while-flying
Sounds like they were bickering. The story says "they had taken out their personal laptops in the cockpit, a violation of airline policy, so the first officer, Richard I. Cole, could tutor the captain, Timothy B. Cheney, in a new...

Commented on Science of Scams: Derren Brown and Kat the Scientist debunk the paranormal industry
I would love to see some of these supposed studies with "results showing that it does exist". Please, show me a single study with conclusive evidence that one can perform telekinesis, or have telepathic powers. It could have a profound...

Commented on Ragdoll Metaphysics: Game Research, Ghost Stories, Alan Moore, and Academia: The Far Reaches of Edutainment
For that matter, "game" is an inadequate word, but it's the one we're stuck with. Same way the vast majority of "film" we watch isn't actually on film, and most comics aren't actually comical. This was a great article--thanks, Jim!...

Commented on Retro Remakes: 25 years of <em>Elite</em>
"Creator David Braben"?? It was co-created by Ian Bell, who deserves at least as much credit for the game. It's sad to see him being gradually written out of Elite's history....

Commented on Japanese auto-fogging glasses prevent long stares at the computer screen
Depending on how they orient the liquid crystals they could arrange for them to be fogged by default and require power to de-fog. That would solve any unpleasant glasses-not-fogging-and-eyes-shrivelling-into-raisins situations. Is this really a problem that people have, though? More...

Commented on Comic-Con: Harassment and objectification for fun and prizes
Is the games industry big enough now that juvenile shit like this only tarnishes the reputation of the developer in question, rather than the industry as a whole? Hope so....

Commented on Firefighter allegedly shoots cyclist in head to teach him not to ride on a busy street
Yeah BULLSHIT he was concerned with the child's safety. Sounds like another bully who was too mentally unstable to become a cop, where he'd be able to shoot cyclists in the head all day long with just a slap on...

Commented on Death and Taxes, the 2010 edition
I would say the US is already pretty damn well defended, to the point of finding other countries to invade and then defend. If anything the US needs to sell off all its surplus stealth bombers and tactical weapons so...
