    Who's trying to break the internet today?

    Of course it won't even stop E2E encryption. The companies will just move their servers offshore to countries who have saner privacy laws. It will only hurt US citizens and companies.

    Star Trek General Discussion

    It's been established that you can't replicate living tissue. Not sure if it's a limit of the technology or ethics regulations forbid it.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Would actually be funny if his supporters just gave him write-in-votes even IF he was barred from holding public office due to insurrection charges. Granted I'm not looking forward to 4 more years of Biden, but it sure beats having 4 to 8 years of whatever comes out of the Republican clown car...

    It's in reference to this: https://www.tor.com/2016/10/17/the-answer-to-why-humans-are-so-central-in-star-trek/ and yes it does include turning a star into a torus.

    It was the Vulcans who discovered the Hur'q ruins containing the Sword of Kahless shortly before the Dominion war and at that time the Federation already knew of the Dominions existence, though they weren't aware of the extent of the threat. The Federation includes the Vulcans and a bunch of...

    All we really know of the Hur'q from proper sources is that their empire was large and originally from the Gamma Quadrant, they conquered Qo'noS, were eventually driven off Qo'noS by the Klingons and that the Federation has their DNA sequences on file. If they were Dominion forces, the...

    PS 3 - PS 5

    Most likely an aspect ratio issue. the PS1 and PS2 were designed with 4:3 televisions in mind. The PS mini was released after most displays had switched to a 16:9 aspect ratio. Only options to properly display the games was to either a: stretch the game to fill the screen, causing image...

    Activision-Blizzard Thread: Just announced the Layoffs of 1900 jobs.

    Microsoft will sell it to another company to run. Same thing they did to the Asheron's Call games.

    Not to dig traffic tunnels, to build a pneumatic rail system using newer tech than the failed one built in the late 19th century and based on a proposal by a bunch of engineering students who didn't have much experience ACTUALLY designing things. Turns out it STILL doesn't work, so he switched...

    Florida, Florida, Florida

    I believe there are some federal statutes that REQUIRE an ID issued in ANY state to be valid in ANY other state. Yet another waste of Florida taxpayer money when this inevitably ends up in court and ruled unenforceable.

    So I am making a video game.....

    Increased ram and storage space DID allow for more complicated level design during the transition to 16 bit. Game physics also became more refined. I haven't played The Messenger, but the Evoland games simulate that too.

    I'd argue that SpaceX has its merits, though that's DESPITE Musk's best efforts. Rumor has it that a few high-ranking engineers at the company are able to manipulate Musk into allowing them to actually do their jobs properly. I'm not sure how much longer that's gonna happen, though. Musk has...

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    Fair enough, I do think they trademarked the color and symbol layout, though.

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    Yea, I think about the only things Sony owns are the symbols they use and the style of their D-Pad(which itself was a way to get around Nintendo's old D-Pad patents, which thaknkfully expired in 2006)

    PS 3 - PS 5

    None of the ps2 FF games were one massive level. They were all quite segmented with load times between maps. Same goes with Dragon Warrior VIII(it was essentially the standard overworld/poi system used by RPG's since the early days of the Ultima franchise). I can't say on the Tomb Raider...

    Besides it wasn't the lawyers who got him into that mess, it was his own big mouth. Offering a deal in an attempt to gain some attention and affect stock prices. The lawyers just got the courts to force him to go through with the deal he offered when he tried to back out at the last minute.

    I don't really think someone who has been slapped on the wrist several times for stock manipulation should be complaining so much about corruption.

    Isn't threads basically just Instagram without the focus on photos? Good luck, Musk. Seriously doubt Twitter had that much original tech in its design.
