    Jimquisition: Rape vs. Murder

    I'm going to have to take a very controversial stance here. Jim, you make good points, but you missed the cardinal issue. The question isn't "is rape worse than murder", it's whether or not there's any valid, morally-defensible reason to make games about rape. And no, those two questions...

    Help me pick a new CPU and motherboard?

    Ah, excellent! This is actually quite a lot more than I expected to get for ~$300. Even without overclocking, that CPU performs far above the 2.5GHz minimum I specified, so I likely won't bother. Even has AES-NI support. One last stupid question, then, which I fully realize I should have...

    Adobe Flash Player problem

    I've never heard of an issue like this, but have you tried keyboard controls? It might be possible to navigate one of those menus with the arrow keys and Enter, or something to that effect.

    Help me pick a new CPU and motherboard?

    Wait, you actually came in here? You aren't so tired of these topics that you've become calloused? There may yet be hope for humanity! Anyway, I'm in a tricky situation. While I know very little about motherboards and CPUs, due to the fact that they're the only two components of my PC that...

    Am i retarded?

    I never understood why people with this disorder seem to think everyone should know about it. If you make it a point to let people know that you have minor Asperger's syndrome, of course they're going to treat you differently, because you flat-out told them that there's something wrong with...

    What is the stupidest popup that was clearly a virus you ever seen?

    To be fair, that's because most advertisement systems with rotating ads don't check the user's OS. Windows is more common than Mac, so they use that. On-topic: I swear I've seen at least once an attempt at convincing me that an antivirus website I was on was actually a fake antivirus, and...

    Oh no please don't watch that in English!

    I think the biggest problem with dubbing of anime is in the companies that do it. It's always a fucking cash grab. When you think about it, the dubbers don't actually have much work to do -- the show has already been drawn, animated, written, and probably even aired in Japan in its...

    OnLive Founder Claims "Impossible" Wireless Breakthrough

    This is exactly the heart of the issue. We're claiming that this is "impossible" because it violates a law that was invented more than 25 years before the first cell phone. Radio was great and all, but show me whoever came up with and tested that law, and let's see how qualified they are to even...

    The Autistic Hacker: is He at Fault?

    I don't agree with his extremism, but you do know that you're only proving his point, right? That wasn't remotely intelligent, and the sarcasm isn't clear through the blind rage.

    HEY! Who wants to play bubble breaker?!

    GOD DAMN IT. I've gone without an avatar on purpose all this time, and now that I finally get one, it has to be HIM?

    The Autistic Hacker: is He at Fault?

    Not necessarily your fault, but I would say it's completely under your control if you would make an effort to improve. ADD makes it more difficult to focus, but not anywhere near impossible. And if you really can't help yourself, maybe you should get help in the form of medicine or therapy.

    The Autistic Hacker: is He at Fault?

    As much as you've said what everyone is thinking, you're probably going to get banned for that...

    The Autistic Hacker: is He at Fault?

    Frankly, yes, he should still be charged. I don't care if you have ADHD or autism or Asperger's Syndrome, that should not be a free pass for anything at all. None of those conditions are untreatable, nor are they even remotely difficult to treat. We as a culture need to stop feeling bad for...

    60 FPS is Modern Warfare 3's "Competitive Edge"

    Are they seriously grasping for straws to the point of bringing frames per second into this? News flash, anyone who thinks this matters at all: 60FPS WILL NOT HELP YOU ONLINE. Unless you and everyone you play with just happen to be within a mile of the server and on good wired connections...
