If you were Halo Jumping out, you could survive. I doubt you would wear that gear casually on an airplane, but if you are really worried, it couldn't hurt. You could do 2 minutes of free fall from 30,000 feet and then parachute down with no injuries. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_jump
I would love to ride a large submarine across the Atlantic if it was like a Royal Caribbean cruise or like a Virgin Atlantic Upper Class flight. This would be all kinds of awesome, especially if it had large windows and cool lights to see Ocean life. He is already making Virgin Atlantic. Why not make Virgin Oceanic for passengers?
If they have so many problems, does that increase the likelihood that I could get away with murder? In that case, I shall go kill the most annoying person in the world.
This would make a lot more sense to me if we can see what the levels are now on the XKCD chart. If it is still at chest CT Scan, then things aren't that bad, I guess.
It isn't like Billionaire Playboy Richard Branson needs more money. I guess riding on the ocean with supermodels on your back has become more expensive.
If bittorrent clients (uTorrent, Vuze, etc.) have internal search capabilities for torrents, then websites scraping trackers aren't really that necessary. Add some encryption and a proxy and I don't think it can be stopped. Creating a government warranted virus to send your bittorrent information to the MPAA I believe is the next tactic they will take. I still pay to go to the movies and for Netflix, on top of getting a torrent of Ubuntu or something from Creative Commons. Is illegal file sharing really eating up all their profits? The MPAA really shouldn't have this much influence; especially of government.
Doesn't modern day cars record information like when it turns, stops, brakes, speed, and the GPS? If not, then I want that option on my car. Showing that evidence in court should be irrefutable in my opinion.
It was considered ballsy back in the day to be against FISA. So why would a guy that would be against it, suddenly sell out completely to the MPAA Overlords?
If you didn't use one shred of their code and if you put something in the game that was different, I do think you would have a case against them. That sounds similar to if Coca Cola sued Simply Cola. I don't think they have, but I am sure that the case would be thrown out. I think if you stole their content or were hosting their game without permission and charging for it, then you would be at fault.
Is it a coincidence, or didn't Wikileaks help instigate revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt, and hostile action in Zimbabwe, with the release of the diplomatic cables, not to mention arrests around the world for DDoS hackers? It is probably a coincidence, but while the protests/riots may help democracy in those countries, I don't exactly call it "keeping the peace".
As long as I have the ability to toggle it off and on, then I would gladly get this for my car. But if I don't have a choice, then I do not like it. What are the chances that the device could give me a false positive?
Let us say he pirated music online. For downloading music, they argue he stole it and send him to jail for larceny. Would that be considered fair? They currently settle out of court for this act but they could easily make an example out of someone.
My mother works in South Boston not far from the projects and there have been quite a few robberies and shootings. I urge her to carry a stun-gun, some pepper spray, and a rape whistle on her key chain just in case. Her keys also have a panic button. She never had to use it, and she usually forgets she has it, but it does kind of make you feel a little bit more secure walking through those neighborhoods. If there weren't so many shootings every year, then I don't think she would carry it. Carrying anything lethal like a gun doesn't make sense in this situation. But yeah, if the threat has a higher probability of taking place, then you should be prepared. These shootings at rallies in the United States are rare and I don't think you need to carry any kind of protection.

"I've never even heard of Greek being taught in high school" I don't know about that, I had to toss quite a few Greek salads back in my day.

I think a lot of workers who work remotely and aren't physically seen already work in the nude. Heck, I ran a conference call from the toilet once.

The tweet is coming from inside the house! Get out of there!
It gives me a photo-epileptic seizure, so no thanks.
When it comes to net monitoring, I wonder why China is not on that list.

Sperm doesn't count since it is already alive. If you got an abortion every morning in the shower, then that would be far more impressive.
My source is IMDB for the quote from the film, which was then re-purposed into the game. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096256/quotes
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum.
Hail to the king, baby!
Oh yeah, well I am moving at 818 miles per hour while standing still!

When will these 3D printers become affordable for the home user and easy to use? In other words, when will it become cheaper than printer ink?
Where is Duncan Jones' Moon on the best of list for science?
