Hardly ridiculous. You say that as if members of US government agencies didn't plot terror attacks on Americans (Operation Northwood), steal the medical records of American whistle…

So if it's not such a huge barrier for a foreign programmer to program in an English-centric computer programming language, surely the same can be said about non-Arabic speakers wh…

The surreals are actually a problem in this context. As far as I'm aware, nobody's yet come up with a satisfying integral calculus that works in the surreal numbers generally. Mayb…

Wouldn't married graduates be disproportionately likely to initially meet each other as students?

I'd like to see whether there's a correlation here between gender imbalance in the particular subject and the marriage rate. I suspect theology is a heavily male-dominated subject,…

It's not as if there aren't meme-heavy right-wing subreddits who do something similar. r/the_donald was all over the front page for a long while, and has a notoriously strict moder…

And if you need a tour guide to the Quake 3 source code (among others), Fabien Sangard's blog will walk you through his favourite bits. http://fabiensanglard.net/quake3/index.php

Not so much the themes but the game interface. SS1's interface predates a lot of modern FPS idioms, so it feels very clunky and difficult to use compared to more modern games. Them…

If it looks like you're the suspect, then don't talk and get a lawyer. Otherwise, you should probably avoid doing anything that makes you a suspect, including demanding a lawyer pr…

Uh, the TV licence covers people who watch live TV broadcasts in the UK (including watching the internet simulcast of said broadcasts and using the BBC's iPlayer catchup service). …

Of course the multitool is the single point of failure. If the chef isn't careful, that one great knife can be the vector that means ALL the customers get salmonella, not just the …

But bees and ants have genetically determined reasons for their social structures - their genetic makeup is more strongly shared between siblings than offspring so it's in their ra…

Sure, no arguments with the crediting; I was using 'BartleMUDs' as a shorthand term to specify about 3 games (MUD, MIST, LAND) that were based on the same codebase at Essex Univers…

Well it's not just that; at the time, the Bartle MUDs were the only games like it in existence, and so anyone (who happened to have the relevant network access, of course) who want…

As well as Minix, which is intended as just such a teaching aid and comes with a textbook, there's the Lions book, which is a complete annotated source listing of an early Unix, an…

Those detailed simulations are out there, though. The rather expensive-to-make military flight simulation games are getting rarer, but Falcon 4.0, ILM Sturmovik and DCS did, or do,…

I doubt it's really an attempt to emulate the 'color' books of the Hacker Lexicon It's more likely a reference to the Michael Abrash games programming black book (a big, thick, boo…

Not to mention that Proudhon predated Marx, so if there is an imitation (and there isn't), it goes the other way.

The sticking point is not so much free market - mutualists are considered anarchists by other anarchists - but other, major, aspects of capitalism, mainly private ownership of the …

In academia, you don't have to. Make the prototype, write the paper, present it at the conference, job done. It's some engineer's job to do it properly in an actual production sett…

Check the dates. If you were trying to assess claims of an extraordinary and unprecedented mechanised genocide by Nazi Germany in 1943 or early 1944, when it wasn't obvious what wa…

There's a couple of exceptions, but in general, Omar is far less inclined to use swearwords than other characters and even expresses a dislike for that language.

But the panopticon also stares right back at you. Your political enemies can also use it to google you up, find what you're up to, and night-of-the-long-knives you first. You've al…

> but never "let's manipulate the CEO into being happy with no revenue growth." That kind of manipulation exists. People lie to their superiors and overlords to evade punishment fo…

You're in luck - you don't even need wine for either of those games since they're Linux-native.
