    It's not just on HL2.net that the best description for the show is quite interesting Sheepo.

    Team Fortress 2 on Mac

    whoa, they've really changed the interface of the menu page and added tutorials and expainations for everything everywhere. It's quite disconcerting.

    "Video games promote hatred, violence and sexism"

    The idiocy on show on that clip was quite painful to watch. If your looking for the study the woman mentions it's this: http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/122/5/e1067. It's not actually a study rather a compilation of studies put together with some extra statistical analysis...

    Picking universities in the UK

    Also at the risk of sounding like an advert for Loughborough the uni has been in top place for the times survey for student satisfaction for the past 4 years I think. http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/Journals/THE/THE/14_January_2010/attachments/032-040_THE_JAN1410_Layout%20lo.pdf

    Picking universities in the UK

    I go to Loughborough university at the moment and if you have any questions feel free to ask. It depends on what you want from your time here though as to which one would be best for you. Loughborough is very much a university town and whilst this means there is a more limited amount of place...

    An American Cry for Help: Death vs Life Panels

    As a UK citizen I will do my best to answer all of your questions in as much detail as possible. As a student I pay nothing at the moment through taxes. What little I do earn over summer is below the lowest tax bracket (£2320) and so my 10% that gets taken off gets reimbursed when I fill out...

    Legal Cocaine?

    Only legal reasons, as a UKer mushrooms containing psilocybin are illegal whereas the red toadstool contains a different psychoactive compound which has not been classified and its easier to obtain things which are legal than illegal.

    The mushrooms on that websites' active ingredient is mostly muscimol which is legal as opposed to the active ingredient of psilocybin of illegal mushrooms. The most common type of muscimol mushroom is the fly agaric which is the classic red toadstool with white lumps on. This is usually...

    Recording Industry gets a taste of its own medicine

    From a purely logical point of view (not sure what canadian law states about copyright) what has been accused is far worse than what the corporations have been suing people for. None of the individuals who were fined $20000 per track sold any of the music for a profit as far as I am aware unlike...

    Palm is pathetic

    Can I just ask you if you are employing that logic how you feel about programs such as bootcamp and WINE making windows only software run on Macs and Linux respectively? I believe that your position is only tenable if you concede that microsoft would have the stop anyone else using programs...

    Spicy Food Tolerance

    There are two theories that I know of to account for the tolerance of spicy foods, both of them purely physical. The first is a desensitization similar in the way that tolerance to drugs is obtained and the second one is the ligand that attaches to the receptor causes and overbalance of calcium...
