    Secret Russian T-14 Armata Tank Revealed

    It doesn't look all that impressive. Which is fine, really. Funtion > form. Besides, making the enemy underestimate you might work in your favor. But yeah, the Russians really saved on design costs it seems.

    Poll: Would you push an end-of-the-world button?

    If it's only a button saying "End of the world" I do not consider it a true "End-of-the-world" button, so assuming it DOES end the world. Yes. Don't want me to push the button? Then don't construct something with the ability to end the world, don't add an extremely user-friendly way of...

    Favorite software tools

    Well would you look at that. I can actually add something usefull to a thread for once! - Everything for Windows is what I consider to be a much better search-tool than the built-in search functionality offered by Windows. - Most of the software mentioned here in portable form, saved to...

    My first thought when seeing a big, bulky blue superhero with antennea? I suppose this new Batman does wear more armor than the Tick though..

    Poll: UK Standardized Smoking Packages Law in Final Stages

    EDIT: removed link in quote I didn't see I actually started with cigarettes in midschool, just so I could feel like I belonged to the group of smokers. I later quit tobacco and started smoking pot (pure) which after a while was just.. too much. So now I use tobacco as filler. I still have...

    REPORT: NET NEUTRALITY PREVAILS!!!

    "The FCC has taken us in a distressing direction. We must now look to other branches of government for a more balanced resolution." In other words "WAAAAAAAAHHHHH!! They won't play with us:( you FCC guys are dumb! We will deny your authority now and only play with others who don't have...

    "I'll pick it up when it's cheap"

    I tend to do it the other way around: "I'll buy it because it's cheap" (assuming it's my kinda game). Waiting for a game to drop in price will make me forget I anna keep an eye out for it. If I do see it for a fiver in the Steam store I tend to think 'Hey! Been meaning to try that!' Not an...

    How Do You Know If A Web Site Is Secure?

    Internet security vs hacking is a constant arms-race. As soon as a website is reachable through the internet it becomes a target, a risk. You never know whether you're safe, or some hacker's been riddling your site with secret backdoors for months. As soon as it's on the internet, I...

    Swatter Arrested, Could Face Five Years in Prison

    I've always found it strange how people are 'sad' for a 19-year old to go to prison, but not a, say, 50-year old. To me, an adult should know the difference between right or wrong, whether 19 or 99. And if they're proven to be guilty they should all be treated equally like criminals, not like...

    DARPA Creates Bullet That Can Think For Itself, Change Course Mid-Flight

    I see this being used for snipers firing at long ranges. If you need to hit something 1, 2, 5 miles away I can see it helps a lot if you have a bullet that does all the wind speed and direction and curvature of the earth calculationey things for you so you only need to laserpaint your target's...

    Insane disc space required by AAA games

    And when my great-grandpa was a lad all he had was sand and a stick to play tic-tac-toe with ;-). I don't envy him though even with my crappy internet speed. I'll take today over yesteryear any day.

    Photography IS art

    The way I see it, all that's needed is for someone somewhere to consider it art for it to be art. The creator, his/her intent, the piece's quality and its selling price are ultimately of no concern if someone finds their emotions tickled.

    Get SimCity 2000 For Free On PC Right Now!

    I have wasted many more than 5 minutes finding a way to get rid of newsletters in some cases. I'll be honest and say I've not noticed unsollicited Origin mail (partly because I hardly ever use that emailaddress anymore). If they do indeed not spam you, kudo's for that. In the end though, if I...
