Of all the cyclists and team mates Lance Armstrong has had on all those teams covered by the USADA's letter and "testimony" that it was rampant on each of those cycling teams surely there must dozen several, or even dozens, of other riders similarly being sanctioned?
I admin I've fallen for this trap a few times-- seen the salacious HuffPo headline in a sidebar somewhere and clicked it. Unfortunately, their traffic-generation machine always makes me feel like I've been tricked and that the headline isn't really representative of the story. Now if I see a sidebar headline links to HuffPo, I just ignore it, knowing that I've saved myself some disappointment.
How about waiting until the product is actually launched before starting to say how it can never match the iPad?
Or how about Microsoft actually launch the product before actually showing it? Dual-screen Courier comes to mind. Also coming to mind: new iPad and new Macbook Pro, both of which you could buy right after the keynote.
I might pay for the 48fps 3D, but I would try 48fps 2D in an instant. It is about time 24fps went the way of B&W. Screw those old fart 'film buffs' who think that framerate makes movies look better'
I've never read about flow state before, but I think that describes what I've found in my own experience.
I've worked from home for the past decade or so and I find I'm about 20% more productive at programming projects (where there's a well defined task and outline, but lots of work to do) when listening to certain types of music-- sometimes I'll even loop the same song for several hours. I've found I can become distracted if listening to slow-paced music, and fall out of my flow state.
However, when I'm problem-solving or trouble-shooting I work better with the music off, but I still feel like I'm more focused with the headphones on (even if there's no sound coming from them).
Or maybe I've just trained myself into certain routines after working so long in the same conditions?
I didn't look at your analysis, but ten minutes from launch to spacecraft separation seems fast enough to me. Faster means more fuel and stronger (heavier) rockets and spacecraft. Why go faster, especially if you are trying to become a low-cost leader?

Nope, just Armstrong.
Freedom to wear the shirt, not free from the consequences of wearing the shirt.
The number of "I want my dollar back" post at that Facebook link is really sad.
I can confirm that my smartphone with also have an App Store. It will also have Angry Birds. Soon.
Hey, Christians have been communicating with God via tablets for centuries now. Since Moses 1.0 I believe. Surely they have the patent on that, right?
Now they have 64 bit cpus and can run 64bit code as well windows 64 so why can't apple work around that?
Because they want you to buy new hardware.
...scrapes by.
My $2200 4.5-year old Mac Pro scrapes by handily. Why did you spend $6000 on a computer again?
I think I figured it out when you said "4,000 mph vacuum-tube trains".
A large portion of the disc (exactly 8,000 contiguous bytes) has been rewritten with only four different bytes: 0x41, 0x43, 0x47, 0x54.
So a poem that calls itself "the book of the dead" kills itself?
Sounds more like a need for literary interpretation than a cryptographic one.
If by "more interesting" you mean "more tedious, unnecessary and annoying", then yes, yes it will.

How can we comment on an article that we cannot see?
Wait a minute. You're telling me we're supposed to read the linked article?

No, 24fps makes movies look like movies, makes them look cinematic, instead of cheap video soap operas on the gajillionty MHZ TVs at BestBuy. But everyone seems to love it, describing it as "70's era BBC video" or just "The Hobbit Debuted Some Footage In 48 Fps And Everyone Hated It"
So I (heart) Comcast now?
Really, you've got to make up your mind; it is getting harder to remember who to hate and who to like.
PS: We still hate Apple, right?
just look at the thing http://www.notebookreview.com/shared/picture.asp?f=61197.
Typically I'm not a form over function type of guy, but looking at that thing I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.
MS still doesn't get it, we are in the era of Good Enough Computing.
Well, shoot, Windows defined a whole generation of "good enough" computing.
Nobel Committee Awards itself the Nobel Prize in Economics for their keen insight into the current world economic situation.
Why would anyone want to play in the SW universe, if you're not going to be a Jedi?
Two words: Boba Fett. BOBA FETT!
Jetpack, a host of nerd gadgets, awesome outfits, cool ship, trained and skilled enough to hold his own with the magical-powered Jedi.
THIS is why you CAN'T have nice things!
the use of the descriptor "American" is used pretty exclusively, worldwide, to reference citizens of the United States.
So just like British and English all mean the same group of people as well?

Yes, because using a different program to read and write a Microsoft .doc is so utterly complex we all might as well give up.
I wish I had mod points for you
