I suspect this is because DHS is scared shitless of the lone wolf [wikipedia.org] terrorist
Ha! As if! Seriously, how many "Operations Fast n' Furious" do they need to get caught conducting before people will clue in to the obvious fact that "wet dream" would be far more accurate than "scared shitless!"
rural highways showed a 9.1 percent increase in fatalities
I wonder what they consider a "rural highway?" There's a big difference between doing 70 to 80mph out on the [divided] highway (everpresent semis nothwithstanding!) and going 40mph down a windy, 2-lane road.
As usual, statistics paint a misleading picture...
Who's the bleeding halfwit who modded me down? The PS3 has 256MB of system memory and 256MB of video memory; the 360 has 512MB shared. Unless my math skills are off...:p
What planet do you live on? You'll be waiting a long time if you think you're ever going to live in a world where people will just do the right thing out of principle.
It was Areanet's mistake. Of course people took advantage of it, and you really can't punish them for it.
Sure, the government isn't 'legally' allowed to spy on citizens without following the Constitution. But that doesn't hold for 3rd Parties. Nor does it hold true for other governments.
Of course they're buggy. *You* try building open worlds on the scale and complexity of Fallout New Vegas or Skyrim and see if you don't end up with at least a few bugs, bucko!
I couldn't agree more; modern commercial aircraft have grown far too complicated far too quickly, have avionics with far too many bugs and require far too much maintenance... with the whole equation managed by MBA's and beancounters who are simpy far too stupid and shortsighted... that I absolutely refuse to fly on one (yes, this has required a drastic lifestyle change from my previous status as a seasoned world traveller).
Here's what perplexes me, however: nobody I know (oh, except I suppose for a good portion of the Okies I've met) would even think of getting on a boat without enough flotation vests for everyone. So why does it seem like I'm the only one who refuses to get on a plane unless there're enough 'chutes on board for everyone... and the plane flies low and slow enough to be able to jump out of, should the [admittedly statistically unlikely] need arise?:)

You just don't eat enough old egg salad sandwiches in space gas stations.
...in space gas station restrooms!

Diesel is an oil product that isn't flammable... unless you compress it.
I think what you were trying to say is that diesel fumes, unlike gasoline vapors, won't ignite from a spark...
and is slated to have a TI OMAP dual-core CPU running at 1.5GHz
Is this considered good or no?
Never mind the lettuce, what about the cows?
Fuck the cows (no, not like that... well, not unless the cow likes it); what about grass, man?!
What, to mod me up or cut me down? :)
> Though the only thing that has peaked my interest
The word is piqued, you poor benighted heathen.
No, literally... he graphed out the level of his interest over time and there was clearly a point at which it peaked.
(Or something. :p)
"Look at me, i drink beer just like joe sixpack. Vote for me"
disgusting pandering.
Close. The two elections before last were "Look at me, I'm an ignorant fool just like joe-bob sixpack. Vote for me"
This time it's "Look at me, I'm enjoy a good microbrewed ale like any normal, thinking person would. Vote for me"
DNA Analysis Suggests Humans Interbred With Denisovans
The first time I read that I could have sworn it said "DNA Analysis Suggests Humans Interbred With Dinosaurs!"

Obviously, you can.
Obviously, he meant you shouldn't.

It hasn't held true for our own, either.
The PS3 only has 256 megabytes of RAM compared to the 360's 512 megabytes.
I'm not a console gamer but I distinctly recall that they both have 512MB...
idiots who apparently did something right enough to be laughing all the way to the bank for YEARS now
I thought the myth that intelligence equals financial success had been dispelled long ago...
Of course they're buggy. *You* try building open worlds on the scale and complexity of Fallout New Vegas or Skyrim and see if you don't end up with at least a few bugs, bucko!
But is that why they're buggy? I suspect not...
Maybe Sony should pay Bethesda a visit and see what's going on
Search 'em for hidden thumbdrives before they;re allowed in the door...

There are some people I can think of...
Makes me worry every time I get on an airplane.

You've heard of "mental masturbation;" in this case, you're hoping to find someone to help you "mentally circlejerk." Distasteful, I say.
I want to see a stone age man/woman brought back, or preferably a Neanderthal.
It's already been done; there's even a theme park.
They... can and do fly into the most restrictive airspace in the country.
Would it be too much to ask if they could take some better pictures than this one? :)
What about the rest of us?!
