AK-47 Commits Suicide Rather Aid Al-Qaida

Magicpants says...

You think he got a spiked load?

It's rumored that because the AK uses a different ammo type than the m16, the US sometimes sells AK ammo into the channel that are "spiked" with high-explosives.

"The AK is a pretty reliable rifle especially when CLEANED regularly. Oh, and always use the correct amount of powder in your loads.

avengers infinity wars teaser trailer

RFlagg says...

There are also rumors that Disney and Sony worked out a deal for Spider Man to appear in some of the other movies, while Sony retains Spider Man for solo films... Given Spider Man's roll in Civil War, I'd guess that's the movie he's most likely to appear in. I wonder if that deal means that some of the MCU characters can cross over to the Spider Man movies to help boost those. If that's all it took to make the deal, if I were either studio, I'd do it. Cross promotion like that... hecks yeah. Too bad Fox is still apparently being stubborn. Still, exciting times.

Also, a teaser trailer for a movie that is still 4 and 5 years out. That's got to be near a record.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Wage Gap

SDGundamX says...

Take a look at the Wikipedia page on the topic. There are literally HUNDREDS of studies on this from countries all over the world. And they all show the same thing--women get shafted on salary pretty much whether they live in the developed or developing world.

It's interesting you bring up the video game industry example, because I'm sure you're aware of the huge controversy in the games industry right now about the general lack of female designers, programmers, etc. as well as the misogyny that often rears its ugly head in the industry (and among gamers). I worked in games 5 years and I saw this first-hand.

On one team I worked with we had a female programmer (the only female programmer I met while working in the industry) and she was pretty good. But you know what? These rumors started going around that she used to be a man and got a sex change. Because, you know, a woman couldn't possibly be that good of a programmer.

It has been argued before that women "choose" lower paying jobs (like being game artists, or teachers, etc.) but this begs two important questions. First, why are jobs that are traditionally associated with women paid less than those traditionally associated with men and second, can we really say women "chose" those jobs if they were actively discouraged from pursuing anything else due to societal pressure, discriminatory hiring practices, or hostility (both thinly veiled and open) in the male-dominated workplaces?

Jerykk said:

draak13 is completely right. There's not enough objective data to establish how wide the pay gap actually is. Comparing by industry or education level is too broad to be useful. For example, in the videogame industry, the wage disparity between positions is pretty large. Based on my experience, women tend to be artists while men tend to be programmers. Good programmers are harder to find than good artists and as such, they get paid more. If you were to look at statistics regarding wage disparity between genders in the videogame industry, there would be large disparity because women are simply doing jobs that pay less (regardless of your gender).

The Yale study is interesting but it's only one study. We need more data to establish trends.

Mad Max: Fury Road

Zawash says...

Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pursuit_Special
The original Pursuit Special will appear in the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road film, set to be released in 2015. Since it was confirmed that the film takes place before Road Warrior, it will bear more resemblance to the Pursuit Special from the original film, rather than the one from Road Warrior, and it will be featured and used in almost all the stunts during the whole film, unlike its predecessors. There was also a rumor that the car would be stripped of paint or repainted silver, but this has been denied.

CNBC Host Accidentally Outs Apple CEO Tim Cook as Gay

shveddy says...

For what it's worth, I did some digging and the rumors that Tim Cook is gay seem to be at least partially sourced to a speech he made in 2013.

http://business.time.com/2013/12/15/apple-ceo-tim-cook-gives-remarkable-speech-on-gay-rights-racism/

The relevant bit is at about 3:10 when he says that "I have seen, and I have experienced many other types of discrimination, and all of them were rooted in the fear of people that were different from the majority."

The rest of the speech talks about human rights in general, whether from a perspective of disability, race or gender.

Sure, it sounds like he's hinting at discrimination he experienced as a gay man in Alabama, but it could just as easily be sloppy wording on his part. I'm leaning towards sloppy wording just because I don't think he would hint at his sexual orientation so casually. As Apple's CEO, such a move would be a lot more intentional and carefully orchestrated.

So again, the CNBC host doesn't have a clue what he's talking about and he didn't out anyone. He just spread unsubstantiated rumors.

CNBC Host Accidentally Outs Apple CEO Tim Cook as Gay

shveddy says...

Wait. So the guy who may or may not have actually reached out to Tim Cook personally about his sexual orientation simply (and correctly) refused to discuss any actual names, but some random talking head with no special knowledge about Tim Cook's sexual orientation claimed he was gay, and that is supposed to constitute an outing?

The title should read: "CNBC host behaves unprofessionally and spreads unconfirmed rumors." Saying that he outed Tim Cook implies that the CNBC host had some special knowledge confirming that the rumors are true, and at this point we just don't know.

The real issue here is that some guy wrote a column about gay CEOs and consistently ran into the fact that very few of them are willing to be named.

This is speculation here, but my guess is that if you've managed to become the CEO of a fortune 500 company, then on a personal level you are probably confident enough and socially stable enough to come out of the closet.

The real reason these gay CEOs (whoever they may be) aren't coming out of the closet is very likely just because the act of a CEO coming out is perceived to negatively affect share prices. I don't know whether this is just an assumption made personally by these CEOs or if the board of directors at their company actively made it clear to them that it would be a bad move, but this phenomenon is the real story and we shouldn't let all of this viral nonsense about Tim Cook being "outed" distract us from fixing it.

Titanfall Gameplay video @ 1440p

Crosswords says...

I think its supposed to run at 900p at launch, maybe hit 1080p on a patch later down the line. At least so go the rumors, won't know till it actually launches. Seems like a better game to play on the PC anyways.

RFlagg said:

It was one of the best games I've ever played. Certainly the best shooter. That PC beta period didn't last nearly long enough and can't wait to play it again. I had an i3 530 and nVidia 450 GTS at the time and still got fairly good graphics on my 1600x900 monitor... By March 11th I should have a new i7 4770k and an nVidia GTX 770 and a 1080p monitor so win there... Quad Titans on the system shown though is insane... And can the XBox One even do the game on 1080p or was it locked to 720p like most other titles? Which is the crazy part... I mean, I might get an XBox One Titanfall edition since you get the game and a headset for no additional cost, and Destiny sadly isn't coming to PC for some odd reason.

Clueless Old Guy says Clueless Crap

chingalera says...

No real problem with having a woman as president as long as it's not the criminal and whore of Babylon Hillary Clinton. Her crimes whether documented, rumored, implied or perpetrated in her career in politics should they be listed in one place would take hours to include here...

...doesn't even qualify as human much less as a woman. If she runs, best you equality-touters do some extra-curricular investigative work on her background and history, and not the horseshit reported by the complicit media whores.

If anyone cares here, I'll provide a short list of her crimes against humanity. She and her boy Bill have left a 30+year swath of human misery and corruption in their wake. Nightmares the both of 'em.

Elder Scrolls online: the arrival trailer

TheFreak says...

It's too early for any news if a single player TES game is in development but the MMO is a massive undertaking with rumors of a massive budget. Zenimax Online, the company developing the game, isn't seperate from Bethesda/Zenimax, it's just a legal entity for the development team. So just how much can the publishing side of the house afford to commit to other proects while the MMO is in production? We already know the production of expansions for Skyrim was prematurely halted right before it was announced that ESO would be the next Elder Scrolls release.

I thought I heard that the MMORPG is being handled by a different studio and should have no effect the next single player Elder Scrolls game.

'A Million Ways to Die in the West' Red-Band Trailer (HD)

The scariest talk about the NSA as of yet - it's bad, people

CreamK says...

This started long before 9/11, that attack just "created a threat" where every congressman was willing to hand out every right that people had accumulated to that day. NSA tried to stop 128bit encryption back in the 90s when the first rumors started circulating in tech community. Encryption was seen as a "threat" to national security. Sound familiar? 9/11 gave NSA the money to do what they were after, at the time they wanted it the most. I've known most about their goals for 15 years, just never thought it was going to be this bad so soon...

NSA used the basic principle of internet, which is trust between nodes to route data from A to B in the most efficient manner possible. In the future, this means that the open architecture has to be stripped in favor of trusted, fixed nodes. That means the end of net neutrality. It also means congestions, traffic jams, huge blackouts when regional nodes go out. And it's the end of freedom in the surface web and the absolute end of deep web.

We are screwed unless this system is taken out NOW and made in to the list "crimes against the humanity" at International Courts. A year from now is too late.
