San Rafael, CA here. Woke my girlfriend and me up, a few things in my workshop fell off, everything is fine. Checking on people further north right now.
Sadly, I lived next to a patent troll for a bit (Intellectual Ventures in Palo Alto) and did not pillage and raze their building. I don't have many regrets in my life, but this is one.
Most of the free content on the web is 3.x and skipped 4e entirely, so I'm going to stick with 3.x and houserules.... hey, doesn't this sound familiar?
It won't.
The F35 is the classic "it tries to do 255 things, so it does none of them well" thing. It needed rethinking for all sort of other reasons already, but by now it has too much political inertia. You'd have to get too many people to admit they made a mistake.
the Prop came out before the Arduino and still blows anything in the Arduino family out of the water, except for needing some external parts to do ADC. Can't wait for the Prop 2.
You're flat out wrong. Kenya has a better pay-by-cell-phone infrastructure than the US or Italy do, and it's a completely homebrewed solution. Their government even has had to develop a proper legal framework for virtual subcurrencies.

Nice! On the subject of weird immigrant stories, here's one -- when I moved to my current home, I introduced myself to my neighbors. One of them asked me if I was some sort of sex offender. That left me a bit puzzled, but it was an old lady, so I figured she was one of those paranoid old people. Then a couple units down someone asks me that again. I'm like "Oh crap, do I look like a known local crook or something". Turns out that nobody here introduces themselves to their neighbors when they move in, UNLESS they are a sex offender and they are obligated by law to do so. That was really odd.
That's basically what I did:) the guy at first thought I was either doing a horrible job of bribing him, or I was quoting some stoner movie or other, eventually I explained that it's a religious thing and he completely changed attitude / relaxed. Anyway, turns out that they're not allowed to have any homemade food, at least in this area.
It was a bit odd is all. I didn't know American police officers aren't allowed to share apple juice and cookies with people while on duty. The guy said that if he ate any of my food and got sick afterward, I could go to jail.
I don't know why any sane government would want to put me in jail in the first place, they'd have to spend a lot of money fixing holes in walls.

You just wrote the teaser to a Doctor Who episode!

Free energy AND free snacks!

"Please cut service. I no pay."

"Thanks you. Glory to Artsozka!"

I've done a bit of work at AMES and it didn't make me play Kerbal Space Program any less!
Doesn't speech-to-text obviate the need for court reporters?
Don't you need guns, or at least giant knives, to protect yourself from the wildlife over there?
So it's basically aimhack for real life.

The CMUCam4 is Prop based.

which is why I left. Now I live 70 miles away, make about half as much, and work 15 hours a week instead of 60. So long suckers!
someone decided that everything had to look like an iphone because the iphones sold well.
Obligatory: http://xkcd.com/1244/ Jokes aside, it's true that if you want to redirect an asteroid a robotic mission makes the most sense.
That's awesome.
It was a soundstage on Mars.
Looks like getting the KSP dev team to talk to NASA was productive!
That would be awesome. Although I have to wonder what the difference would be... More cute anime girls? More tentacles?

In fairness, if you write stuff in steno shorthand, nobody'll be able to read that either....
