Mine handles hooking up to a projector just fine, but I've used Windows laptops that took some amazing voodoo to do the same

Home and End key, well, I like the Macbook keyboard, and there's only so much real estate to work with, so some keys had to go. I'd rather have key combos than smaller keys.
Heretic was nothing special compared to today's games. Yes, it was the first FPS I know of where you could actually look up or down; big deal back then, "meh" today. Descent was crazy, disorienting as heck. Not sure I'd play a new version, but it was pretty cool.
I am not a Common Core expert, but let's change the solution a bit:
12 + 8 = 20
20 + 10 = 30
30 + 2 = 32
8 + 10 + 2 = 20
Getting rid of the 12+3=15 equation makes the solution cleaner and more intuitive. There's no reason to have it in there, it's just more numbers to keep track of. It's noise. Since this equation seems to be a staple in "look how stupid Common Core is!" articles, I can't help wondering if it was ginned up a bit to make it extra confusing. Having said that, some of my daughter's math textbooks made me shudder with their incomprehensibility.
...that public schools have to accommodate, often at great expense. It's a lot easier to succeed when you can pick and choose who gets to attend your school.
As an Air owner, I have to agree. I can't see the point of touch, unless you're walking around with it I'd much rather use a keyboard/trackpad. And my Air is light enough that I can walk around and use it for short periods if I need to. For actual productivity, the laptop form factor is far superior, I can actually type on it in my lap. And as noted, I've found Windows 8 to be an exercise in pain. I do know people who really like the Pro, but I just don't see it.
for economy of scale, particularly manufacturers of complex machines, such as cars. Banks, on the other hand...how big do you have to be to push paper?
Nice piece by The Oatmeal about why he loves his Tesla. It's a lot more than the battery. "think outside the box" is a trite meme, but Tesla has done it, with impressive results.
I can assure you, plenty of people run studded tires from October to March, and we have the crappy roads to prove it, even though we rarely get snow. They don't come with a special speed limit, and even if they did, how could it be enforced?
Yes, they're[plug ins] cleaner than hybrids, but they still depend on electricity...produced by dirty fossil fuels... hydrogen fuel cells are, for now, the greenest of many options,
Hydrogen has to be cracked from complex molecules using...wait for it...electricity, so no, fuel cells aren't any greener than plug-ins. I suppose one could argue about whether the manufacture of fuel cells causes less pollution than that of batteries, but I expect it's pretty much a wash. I think the economy and convenience of recharging at home trumps hydrogen's greater range and shorter refueling time, and eventually battery technology will narrow those gaps.
Sorry, had to be said. And speaking of GoT, has anyone worked out a model of their solar system? Sure, I could use teh Google, but what fun would that be?
Oh please. Yes, this is probably going to flame out and die, but the losses won't amount to more than a rounding error to GM's bottom line. You don't have to look very hard to find examples of corporations who haven't been bailed out by Uncle Sam tossing money down the sewer.
Agreed, iPad prices are too high. But with cloud storage as cheap as it is, who cares? Why would you want to store a ton of stuff on a device the size of a paperback that can easily be lost, destroyed, or stolen? I'm not being snarky, it's a real question. I'm not a pack rat and don't really care about movies or music, so my devices are essentially empty. But honestly, how much media do you have to carry on a device that's almost always connected to the cloud?
...I'll probably catch this for old time's sake. Amazing that they parlayed one season on BBC into...hell, I can't think of a word to describe their status.

15 years ago, our communications network couldn't have handled it if everyone suddenly started streaming Netflix over broadband. But that's not how the world works. Electric cars will gradually get cheaper and more ubiquitous, and infrastructure will be incrementally upgraded. It's nothing to lose sleep over.
Besides, most charging will happen at night, when other demands on the grid are at their lightest.
"Does Valve know any time I've played such and such games, on which servers and so on? "
Almost certainly, yes. Typical of any system that keeps logs. Welcome to the Interwebs. Are they handing that data out? Probably not. If you read TFA, you'll see Ars came up with a clever method to scrape data using Steam ID numbers, which they have no way of tying to usernames or real identities. So, pretty anonymous.
"...the intention was a check of power: that the people would rise up and fight a corrupt government and take it back."
Nice try. The founders intended that the well-regulated militia be under the command of the government. If you don't believe me, google "whiskey rebellion".
Have not heard of Sheffield, will check him out. I'm not sure I buy the "fresh start" framing. No matter how far we travel, I expect a lot of cultural baggage will come with us, and a lot of our irrational behavior is hard-wired into our brains. But I'm kinda cynical.

That doesn't make sense. So I believe it.

1) As it's under pressure, requires a bulky tank for storage, partly negating the "lighter" advantage
2) It's very difficult to store and transport.

Carbon fibre can be recycled. Like paper, recycled CF is not as strong as virgin, but there are uses for it.

Good points, but I doubt anyone who's worried about having their game usage revealed would have their real name in their profile.
