    Student Writes Star Wars Math Problem, Abrams Solves It

    If you are travelling faster than the speed of light, you would arrive before you left.... meaning that the trip takes negative time... The captain has to pay you. Unless the captain never boards the ship, and instead observed the time taken to travel at 9.5 days... Which is impossible...

    Can somebody explain why SOPA passing would help the movie industry? At all?

    Right, but removing pirates HARMS THE FILM INDUSTRY. Pirates are the top consumers (in terms of music and movies). Pirates get exposure out, pirates go out to the theater more often, pirates talk about movies, they do HELP the film industry. Removing them is stupid.

    Can somebody explain why SOPA passing would help the movie industry? At all?

    Ok, so we know that Pirates are good consumers and that they consume pay content more often and that exposure in any form is great for IP, even bad stuff.(take, for example, Rebecca Black, were she not made famous by having her song released for free, I doubt anyone would have paid anything for...

    Poll: Female babysitter charged for having sex with 14-year old boy.

    This is rape. There is no more to this story. A 20 year old raped a 14 year old, age of consent in Connecticut is 16. Rape=Jail, if she were a man it would be without trial. She needs jail, period.

    Seven is the magic number of anger

    I've had 2 xbox360s since release, the first one lasted for 3+ years until my younger brother broke the disc reader (not the console's fault). The new one to replace it was never had any issues... In fact, I don't know anyone of my friends who have had problems either... maybe the Xboxes in...

    Why did he single out fathers?

    Characters that are a disgrace to gaming

    To be fair the expanded universe does give him much more of a back-story and personality.

    Gum: Spit or Swallow?

    Just want to point out to people that gun-swallowing is NOT all that bad for you. The reason most people think it is is because when it was first stated that gum was indigestible some uneducated mothers told their children that it would kill them. In actuality gum is just like fiber, not...

    Microsoft ignores loyal supporter

    With steam the computer is meant to do more than just play games and the consumer has no guarantee that a game he/she purchases will run. This is not the case for a console, Microsoft has a duty to the newer customers to deliver the updates that they promised and the older customers are getting...

    Microsoft ignores loyal supporter

    Yeah, actually, both the console retailers releases updates that break their older-model consoles. it's a shame, but i think that, at least in microsoft's case, it will be so that the games will be much better (as this update should be towards the upcoming disc system, which will allow games to...

    Is call of duty an art?

    Call of Duty has a very well put together plot in the single player and an incredible amount of detail in the maps, characters and game mechanics. Every single aspect of every single level is placed in such a way as to maximize the experiences, it is in every way an art. and to those who say...

    Does anyone have an OnLive account? I want to play some MP.

    So OnLive got me hooked with the Red Faction: Armageddon trial, and I got me a copy of Guerrilla. Does anyone want to play a game or two? I should point out that to play a few MP games you don't even need to buy anything, just load up a half hour of free play a few times!

    Hanna movie (contains spoilers)

    I agree completely, having just watched this film I found it was lacking an any real symbolism or depth. It made an attempt to go down the road of coming of age story, but does not pick any one theme to stick to and instead chunks bits in randomly (for example, in spain she is trying to learn...

    Illogical things proved logically?

    Well, I could list bits about quantum physics and chemistry, like, for example electrons exist in multiple places at once, and while moving don't have to inhabit the space between points... But that's too much math for here... Gettier Problems are fun though. So for this I will posit a...

    Ideal partner: Smarter, dumber, or about on your level?

    On my level... then again I'm in college and have yet to meet a woman that I can (without a doubt) say is smarter than me, not that I think women are dumb, it's just that intelligence varies quite a bit day-to-day (for women it may vary +-4 points in a month!) and thus I can't say for sure I'll...
