What? Then we have laws like in the UK where people under 18 can't buy kitchen knives? Basing national policy on fear does not solve anything.

Now the hot thing in the general media will be to talk about gun control instead of focusing on the real problem. What drives someone to go and kill people en mass. Why are the majority of these mass shootings happening at school? Why were people who are not mentally healthy getting access to weapons? This is a problem with society, not with gun control. Restrict access to guns and the problem will still be there. Sure the number of mass killings will decrease because it wont be as easy but just wait for that one person that is smart and dedicated enough to build a bomb. Or instead of doing mass killings they will be more covert and kidnap and stab people to death one by one. Gun control wont solve anything.

Hospitals usually have private generators and are first to receive help from the government in times of crises.

I'd rather support maximum pc than kotaku to be honest.

Google makes money anytime somebody browses the internet from their phone or buys an app from google play.

Thinkpads aren't pretty enough for the average apple user.

If the UN decided to apply new regulations to the internet would they even have the power to do so?

More scare tactics to reduce our civil liberties.

Looking at the video I was about to buy one because of how good it looked but yeah you are right. There is no way that can be real for so cheap.

I have to admit, while desperate by THQ, this isn't a dumb move. Notice how they give away three games with sequels out or coming out and Saints Row 3 which has a ton of dlc. It seems like they are betting the bank on the new titles that are coming out. I hope this works for them because I like the titles produced by this company.

I thought the point of humble bundles was supporting charities, not giving away games for cheap.

Man this thing is cool, I want it just for the digitizer and the resolution.

This argument is bad. First of all, piracy is not morally wrong, the morals of it are ambiguous, just like everything else. Second of all, it's not JUST ONE EXACT MOVIE. It's a plethora of films and shows and most people enjoy watching them once in a while... Nowadays, we have this thing called the internet where people can send information to others with minimal cost and effort. If a content provider does not wish to make money by conveniently providing me with entertainment I will oblige them by not giving them my money. I will still watch the movies I want to see though. Some of us are pathetic and don't like to wait when there is no reason to.

Makes sense. It's sad how we need an advertising company to revolutionize the isp industry. They are perfectly content to sit on their laurels and do nothing but receive their profits with the minimum amount of work.

Don't we already do that when people get launched into space? If someone wants to do it they should be allowed to as long as the benefits outweigh the risks which I do not currently believe they do.

So a state promoting their own monitored search engines by rendering a competitor unusable is a good thing?

Taught myself to program over 6 years ago. I've learned low level and high level languages, algorithms, data structures, how to make websites and mobile applications, etc, etc. While I may have wished for an instructor at parts (specifically when my computer refused to run certain pieces of software, or when I accidentally wiped my entire hard drive while trying to install linux) in retrospect, I don't think I would choose to do it any other way.

Then again, I prefer learning from reading a book than from being taught. Everyone is different. It must be amazing to have someone guide you and check up on you once in a while though.

I believe they actually come in different sizes.

lol, that went completely over my head.

I just never heard that it helped with that, that's all. I'm not trying to imply that he's wrong I just want to read whatever paper claims so for myself.

As someone that doesn't smoke weed and never wants to. I'm happy that this got passed. I want Cartels to go out of business.

Actually, I believe when there are a million people involved it's actually easier. As long as you have access to good data that is.

Regardless if it is really the "best" invention of the year, I'm glad the media seems to be giving it a ton of attention. I can't wait till there is a tesla model in my price range.

I'm pretty sure they made a loss because of acquisitions they had made and not because of their competitive pricing.

I really love moocs. I've somewhat become addicted to them. One huge problem I have with them however is that there is no obvious path for learning in them. Note I am not talking about the course itself but the path from one course to another. This isn't a problem held by all of them (notably Udacity and Saylor). For coursera and edx however they just seem to be an eclectic jumble of unrelated courses. If I want to take a course but don't meet the requirements I'm pretty much screwed if the course isn't being given. If I want to expand my knowledge a step further I don't know where to go.

This is a solution to a problem I have. I am a procrastinator. No matter how much I "want" to do something I always rationalize why it could be better left till later. The way I combat this is by making the tasks I need to complete in a day small and easy so that doing them becomes insignificant. I normally have nothing against the actual tasks I need to complete. In fact I usually enjoy them. But the idea of tackling a giant problem gives me anxiety. If I start with only working for 5 to 10 minutes in mind it will usually extend to hours. If you are a procrastinator I suggest you try this strategy.

He didn't say he would...

This is the risk you take by being an early adopter.

I think they are only testing a part of the gameplay.

Really cool, I wonder why I hadn't heard of tDCS before this article, especially since it doesn't seem dangerous at all.

DBS on the other hand is a little more scary because of that fact that it requires an invasive procedure. If you can control depression couldn't you control other emotions as well? Maybe we will get something like from "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" where we can set our state of mind to "professional" or "morose".
