This seems similar to watching poker on TV where the viewer knows what cards all the players are holding. There is still suspense with regards to the flop (and turn/river) and whether the betting/bluffing strategies will work.
From the article: "If Gamera makes it off the ground, the team has the potential to capture a world record for human-powered helicopter flight with a female pilot on board."
So the record they are going after purely based on the sex of the pilot? That's weak.
Having actually read TFA, it didn't make any mention of why video arcade games were excluded from the contest.
I still remember being so excited when Pac-Man was announced for the Atari 2600, and so utterly disappointed at the graphics and game-play when I actually popped in the cartridge for the first time.
This is especially head scratching since they are including a Pac Man arcade console as one of the playable games at the exhibition.
I was about to make the same point.
It seems like there was something controlling the timeline marker that was independent of everything else going on.
That reminds me of the Jerry Seinfeld skit (or maybe it was in Seinfeld, the show) where he talks about not knowing what to do with his hands if he were on a nude beach.
I think he came about with the idea of just wearing a belt with pockets attached to it so he could at least put his hands somewhere.
Based on TFA, it doesn't sound like it would be a one time treatment. It would probably require on-going medication to keep the stress hormone at bay. If this ever pans out to be a viable treatment, it would provide a steady revenue stream to the manufacturer.

Methinks you are talking out of your ass. Aside from Twitter (which still uses RoR AFAIK for some things), please provide other examples to backup your flame bait.
If LaHood thinks a passenger talking on a cellphone is distracting to a driver, then isn't a driver talking to a passenger just as, or even more, distracting?
I say let's ban all driver communication, both intra and extra vehicular.
This will of course require a redesign of all cars, perhaps a driver "cockpit" like a commercial airplane.
If you can pretend that the technology for time travel actually exists in the distant future, then can't you pretend that the the technology for a communication device would be vastly different and not need cell-phone towers?
I thought that was odd when I read it too.
When I googled "Akara and Buddhist", I don't see any references to support that piece of information (other than a link to TFA).

The car crashed while being driven by a person.
Nothing to see here - move along please.
Maybe the cultured brain is named "Dimwit".
/. though.
Not sure what interface it is using to post its memory on

And the iPad (G1) and iPod Touch are neither vintage prototypes nor failures.

I can see people buying this as a gag gift.
I guarantee you that the average consumer wouldn't even be able to tell the different between the two OS's side by side.
Guarantee? That's a strong statement. My 10 year old son knows the difference between his iPod Touch and my HTC Android phone.

Do you have any job openings at your company?
I'm feeling a bit too happy in general, and am looking to add some misery back to my life.
Now, to you and I, $168M is an unimaginable amount of money.
"I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit."
That guy looks and sounds like the biggest douche in the world. He claims credit for the term Web 3.0.
Well, I would like to officially coin the following terms:

- Web 5.0 ©

So then you don't actually work from your house. You just drive from your house to the hospital, instead of driving from an office to the hospital.

First of all, it is referred to as "ANH", not "SH" Second of all, how can you rank "RotJ" above "ANH?" WTF?

Are the English classes hard at Princeton too?

Did anybody else read it initially as "the now perverted replacement language for C." besides me?

Interesting article, but how the hell did you mess up your summary? ("being Sauron.") Are you applying for a job as a /. editor?
Use the best tool for the job, and at the moment, the iPad is a better tool for this type of usage scenario.
I have an ever better tool for this type of usage scenario. It's called a textbook.
