Tell that to the console gamers... P.S: I can't help but think the "death of.." articles are just to get page views with sensational titles and articles, mind you thats been the standard for newspapers since before the net.

Unreal Tournament 2004 got up to 5 CDs and Half Life 2 I'm sure had seven. Apart from that, I've never seen anything even approaching what you guys are saying about old windows OS installs.

A lot of the questions students have could be answered by fellow peers. I know blackboard is a well hated program but (at least at my university) it has a forum for each course that students often use to ask questions or exercise their know

The increased interest from facebook might be due to a kind of social obligation. Whereas when you use HN or Twitter to find links you have no obligation and less reward to stay on the page an actually read the content. Someone who is readi

If Lenin had said "the internet will cause great cultural and geopolitical change" would you scoff and ignore him because you think of him as a bad person? Of course not. The same applies to Trotsky, if you read that wiki page you will see

So that's how they make chicken nuggets! That looks suspiciously like pink ice cream. So they use ammonia to kill all the nasties. The real issue is whether that ammonia ends up in you in large enough quantities to stress your liver and kid

It should be noted that the are a lot more things other than the genome and connectome. There's countless epigenetic factors, the extended phenotype, and there's some evidence that inheritance can occur through the proteome through prions (

As a student who worked in a fast food kitchen for 3 years, I can confirm that you can absolutely love a job that is bottom-of-the-pile.

I'd assume it means 91% of strains of HIV. It means that the odds that someone has a vulnerable strain is greatly increased and thus you can heal more people. HIV has a few limits, firstly (I think ) it only infects one type of cell (CD4 i

I would say that learning for the sake of learning is a far more selfish choice than moving into the work force and being a productive member of society. But that isn't going to stop me from choosing learning and maybe putting it into use i

This is awesome, I've encountered this bioinformatics stuff before in a cluttered textbook and didn't follow it. Reading this at least gave me a grasp of the knowledge. Should come in handy when it gets introduced in my course.

Teaching this in the classroom could engage a lot of students that might otherwise be bored sh*tless of the regular curriculum. For those that do pay attention it could open their minds to a new way of looking at maths as a human tool rathe

There are other methods to finding planets. Most of the early Hot Jupiters were found by measuring the "wobble" of a star - a bulge at the surface - caused by the gravity of the massive gas giant careening around it. Also, the title is wron

Haha thanks for the correction. I forget that I need to take care with definitions when it comes to physics concepts. I just finished reading Redemption Ark , that leaves Absolution Gap and The Prefect . Only a good 2000+ pages to go!
