That's what they said about cold-rolled steel two hundred years ago. Everyone had to settle for wood and stone. Now I can buy cold-rolled steel for less than a wooden beam for the exact same application.
I know the science of materials statics and strengths, physical engineering, isn't exactly an exciting field, but might this not have applications in, say, building materials? Home-cladding? Vehicle frames? Computer cases? Ultralightweight spacecraft components? Replacements for easily-broken household items such as cups and plates?
Why do we always have to go to "It's light! It's strong! This will clearly help prevent foreigners from killing our troops!"?
As the parent poster said, it's not that "geeks" in general are untrustworthy. It's assholes that seek to make money off their geekdom that inspire spite.
This is theoretically true... but it doesn't explain why EVERY SINGLE on-call techie was such an asshole. That's, if I know my math... 100% of them.
Well, then I'm sure I trust your opinions more than, say, my own eyes, since I did watch the show. They caught absolutely EVERYTHING on film, including the worst techie downloading the data to his laptop without asking, and then saying, on camera, "I Might look at the pictures of you in Morrocco."
But you're right, it's all anecdotal. All of the extensive film used during the episode last night was done with CGI and mirrors.
Well, you're too dumb to use your freedoms properly. You should THANK your appointed officials for deciding the best way for you to go about your daily life.
How weak is your neck that 1lb of speaker resting on your head is that much of a pain? I haven't used earbuds since my Walkman when I was 8, I just get a pair of $20 Studio Full-Ear headphones, and it's better sound quality than I get out of my tv, my stereo, or the theater when I go to see the latest piece of THX-approved crap, and my ears have yet to fall off from the tremendous burden.
I mean, the biggest act of GenX - Nirvana, was an overrated distortion band built around the central premise that Daddy was too mean in my posh suburb and so I had to go and shoot myself.
Ten kinds of awesome:) I saw every episode growing up, and now I have every episode.... *sigh*
I look at it as two separate shows, with Season 3 being separate from 1 and 2.

Seems sort of a frivolous thing to protect with a law. "Don't say bad things about me, or I'll throw you in jail!" Seriously...
"Oh, no, there's a video of me that doesn't harm me in any way whatsoever, and gives pleasure to thousands! This must be STOPPED! Someone get my underage prostitutes to hire some lawyers to sue those people in a foreign country who's opinions I care nothing for!"

Call Geeks to Go. I'm sure they'll find the problem. :)

I fail to see how this thread has 300+ comments when almost none of you have seen the episode in question.

I'm terrified... I mean, UN sanctions could restrict the flow of English Top 40 CDs and name-brand clothing. That's fearsome.
Thank you for this fact-based post about nuclear power... it's refreshing.
Think "Miss Teen South Carolina."
That was the joke.
It's a voluntary punishment, though... no matter how evil MS is, their evilness scarcely compares to the stupidity of their customers.
But the movie made a lot of money! It HAD to be good!
I can't believe it took this many posts for someone to actually bust out the common sense there.
Mod parent up.

A fisherman found one of those last year, I thought, and was mad when he wasn't allowed to keep it or even collect a reward.
2. The prevented him from leavening without just cause.
I hate it when stores prevent me from foaming and rising.
Of course we should legalize meth. Five years, tops, all the meth users are dead, leaving everyone with a shred of IQ to ignore the meth dealers.
I fail to see how you fixed his post by making it a lie. Maybe you should run Clippy...
