Parts of SOPA Hiding Inside a Boring Case About Invisible Braces
You could have at least explained the bit in the headline about braces (the teeth kind) in the summary:
At first glance, ClearCorrect v. ITC looks pretty banal. It’s a case about a 3D printing model file for invisible braces. ClearCorrect, an Invisalign competitor, had a subsidiary in Pakistan create 3D models of braces, which it then sent from Pakistan to the US over the internet. ClearCorrect then 3D-printed the braces in its Texas offices, a move that might infringe Invisalign patents. (The validity of the patents is being disputed in both court and at the US Patent & Trademark Office.)
As long as they remember to put in a cute redhead girl with an invisibility cape, we're good. Oh, and Danny DeVito as a hard-drinking Dungeon Master. Maybe cut the kid with the unicorn.
You would have thought the cold gas thrusters would have been checked out before a landing attempt was made.
Oh, well, there we are then. Obviously they just had to have them "checked out" and everything would have worked fine.
Perhaps, though, you'd care to expand that two-word phrase a little, and explain to all of us exactly how you would have ensured that this sensitive piece of scientific equipment could survive a journey of ten years through space to land on a tiny ball of spinning rock and have everything go exactly to plan with absolutely no possibility of failure.
The problem with pictograms is they don't mean squat to someone who doesn't already know what they mean.
But people generally do know what they mean, even if they've never seen an emoji before. The emoji for "sheep" is a cartoon sheep. Grammar is another matter, of course...
If that weren't the case, Egyptian Hieroglyphics would still be in active use...
Hierogylphics aren't pictograms. The hieroglyphic symbol that looks like an eye doesn't mean "eye."
Because there are two different bugs at issue here. There was a bug in the Linux kernel which Samsung fixed; and some of their drives have broken queued TRIM support. Summary makes a mess of it.
At last, they're harnessing all that hot air coming out of Washington for something useful.
On a more serious note, what are the benefits/costs of using AC over DC in the home? Would things be more efficient if we continued to receive AC down the wires, converted it to DC in the basement, and fed everything with DC? Seems like plenty of devices really want DC, and come with those lovely hand-warming bricks.
Do modern TVs run on AC, or are they just converting it to DC internally as well?
Despite getting good grades in physics, I've never quite grasped electricity as a concept...

We should only let the purest of race, the smartest, most noble people reproduce.
No, no, no, it's not like that at all. Obviously the GP meant that only the richest people should be allowed to reproduce.
Last time it was only a teaser trailer. You barely saw anyone put so much as a foot on the hoverboard until now.

Tilting 4WD 'Spider Car' Makes Light Work of Bizarre Terrain
I'm guessing whoever came up with that headline grew up in a town. A very flat town.
"A bit of a hill with rocks in" is not bizarre terrain.

*cups ear* Whut?!
You would think the engineers would have had such a test for so crucial piece of equipment as the landing restraint system.
Of course they did. Stop being so obtuse.

Landing on a comet ain't like dusting crops, boy.
It is puzzling why the lander moved so radically after landing.
Puzzling to you, perhaps, but then you didn't consider the possibility that you're ill-informed.
The landing system failed; had it worked, obviously, the lander would have, well, landed properly.
It means sheep, just like the English word "sheep" means sheep.
I've now used the word "sheep" too many times for one day.
The whole reason we abandoned hieroglyphic representations of language was so that we wouldn't have to learn 80,000 hanzi.
And the whole point of emojis is that you don't have to learn them either, because you already know what a poo looks like.
the CIA and FSB can trip over themselves encouraging this
What makes you think they're not doing it already, with considerably more success and efficiency?
The problem with pictograms is they don't mean squat to someone who doesn't already know what they mean.

1. Who is going to press charges?
Same "person" who presses charges when a murder is committed. Hint: it's not the victim.
2. They used fake photos and the like, so I'm under the impression they did a good enough job covering their tracks. Hopefully they did
It's right there in the first sentence of the summary:
Yahoo Travel reported that three women in Chechnya took ISIS for $3,300 before getting caught.
They should've sent, uh... someone who watched the movie more recently.
Yeees. And?
Robots Must Be Designed To Be Compassionate
And, if possible, sexy.
No!

You know the X3 is wack...
Yes, I think that's exactly how James May put it.
Germany Won't Prosecute NSA
Could they even do so if they wanted to?
Because there are two different bugs at issue here. There was a bug in the Linux kernel which Samsung fixed; and some of their drives have broken queued TRIM support. Summary makes a mess of it.
Since early last century, insulin has been produced from the pancreas of animals.
I didn't release the pancreas was such a recent evolutionary development.
I just looked up the Cincinnati case. Seems the cop's lawyer doesn't think it was murder:
"Murder is the purposeful killing of another," [the cop's laywer] said. "There wasn't any purpose to kill this fella."
Some excellent lawyer logic.
