I haven't posted here in a while, but her book is essentially a longer version of this article: http://www.thenation.com/article/164497/capitalism-vs-climate This Changes Everything is a book that explores this theme in greater depth. I think that some of her arguments are weak, but I agree with her...

Harper seems like a manipulator. He believes very strongly (by Canadian standards) in his far right ideology. I recall that he managed to eliminate 2 MPs when he set his first budget the first time that he was in power. He can get the bills that he wants to passed. Yet despite all of this, I think t...

No, the comet in "Destiny" leaked silithium particles which in turn formed a subspace filament inside the wormhole allowing permanent communication with the Gamma Quadrant. The Bashir Changeling's sabotage to DS9's graviton emitters during "In Purgatory's Shadow" strengthened it...

It appears to be used mainly in combat, hence mutlivector assault mode. The most logical reason would be against less maneuverable targets - it would lead to having smaller targets that would presumably be harder to hit (especially the rear engine sections). This would be particularly useful against...

We know so little about the Q that I don't think that we can make that sort of a judgment. 1. They are capable of moving objects at very rapid velocities across the Milky Way (and maybe other galaxies) 2. Appear to be able to spontaneously appear or give the appearance of doing so 3. Undetectable by...

Evil is something that is hard to quantify and thus, hard to compare in that sense.

SOTS I highly recommend. It's one of the better TBS games, even if planet management lacks depth. SOTS2 is coming out later. I'm hoping that SOTS 2 will succeed with a better UI this time; we may just get one of the best strategy games around. Another TBS that I recommend is Galactic Civilizations I...

Firefox for sure because of the addons. It's also considered the browser that has security vulnerabilities the most rapidly patched after they are identified.

Actually that was what I was getting at. It seems to me many people are of the impression cross platform games have hurt PC gaming. I don't understand that sentiment at all. A lot of the time, instead of making new games, the idea is to make console games and then port them to PC, which often resul...

How might commercial/industrial property affect the population value? Coruscant is the administrative capital of an entire galaxy - large parts of the cityscape covering its surface might be taken up by commercial/industrial/government property with no permanent residents. If we are looking at quad...

I think that rivets would likely have been used - rivets having being used since the Bronze Age to bind everything together. Most Roman siege weapons used torsion power to store the energy that was carried forward, which solely was manpower. Depending on the detail that you need, you may want to as ...

It would depend on the context, the type of map, and the style of the players. I suspect that even though Void Rays are on top, none of the others have a decisive vote over the others because of all of the variables.

To begin with, this is my first post here. Thoughts about PC Gaming: It's no secret that PC gaming has taken a second seat to consoles. Often, a lot of the PC games that we see by the major publishers these days seem to be console ports and bad ports while we're at it. Sales have been declining, wit...
