SpaceX and Marco Rubio are duking it out to see who wins "best management of the expectations game." Personally, I'm gonna give "third place win" the edge over "successful failure," but that's just me. Good hustle all around guys!
Still, it's nice to see John Boehner's office embracing Slashdot as a campaign tool. Other politicians can waste their money on Facebook and Twitter and Instagram; House Republicans will stick with what moves to masses.
Gummi bears are a medium to reproduce fingerprints (and a delicious snack). This is a method to capture fingerprint images. Two completely different things.

Millions of children in China learn Chinese every year, without even really trying! And you think it's so difficult... it must be because Chinese is incredibly easy to learn and you're just stupider than a baby.
Collecting was never fun for me. I never saw the point. When I was a kid, my dad tried to get me interested in coin collecting. He saw it as good "father and son time", but I hated it. We could have gone hiking or fishing, he could have taught me something useful. He was an electrical engineer, but he never taught me anything about electronics (I learned it all on my own). But instead of any of that, we spend our time going through bags of pennies looking for a rare 1939D. Bleh.
Now that I have kids of my own, we do active outdoor stuff, we build things, we do science experiments. My daughter has a great collection of Barbie shoes, but I was not involved in that (other than as a source of funding).
30 years from, your kids will be posting on slashdot (via direct neural interface) about how their father always dragged them out for stupid fishing trips (what was the point? Anyone could have foreseen that trout would extinct by 2017) instead of doing something useful with them like collecting valuable items.
As this article illustrates, the root of kleptomania is a desire for revenge upon a world that the person feels has treated them unfairly.
The article you linked to says absolutely nothing of the sort. In fact, citing the DSM, it says the following about diagnosing kleptomania: "The theft is not due to anger, revenge, delusions, hallucinations or impaired judgment (dementia, mental retardation, alcohol intoxication, drug intoxication)."
Yeah, the problem with the Internet is that there aren't enough libertarians making sarcastic comments. Also, why can't I find a good cat photo anywhere?!
... Because I know when I walk down the Champs-Elysees in Paris, what I really want to be doing is looking at the world through the screen of my smartphone! Why hasn't anyone thought of this before?
Even better: sell t-shirts that appear blank but display hipster slogans when viewed through an AR app.
I get your point, but there really aren't any huge OMG special effects in Star Wars related to the force. Stuff moving without being touched? A dude grabbing his neck and pretending like he's getting choked? The most famous force moment is done completely through dialogue ("These aren't the droids you're looking for").
Star Wars special effects were all things like space ships and planets blowing up.
I'm not sure I understand you. Are you advocating a targeted $10 per barrel tax only on oil drilled from ANWR? That seems silly, plus you must be aware that taxes on oil production are a political non-starter. It would be easier to get environmentalists to agree to drilling than to get the GOP to agree to taxes. And I don't even want to think about the economic distortions that would accompany taxing one area of production but not others...
On the other hand, it kinda sounds like you're calling for the Federal government to get into the oil drilling & selling business.

Copper interconnect? I barely even know 'er interconnect!
Stop being so cynical, this is going to revolutionize the field of water soluble nail polish.
But the link is nearly unbreakable!
The problem with FLAC is how does one get FLAC?
Shit, I get FLAC all the time for my music. Especially if I play it really loud.

Plausible, but I think the evidence suggests that Auric Maplefinger might be involved.

The hard part is making the Nietzsche jokes.
I got 99 problems, but faster than light travel ain't one
If you're going faster than 299,792,458 m / s, check your measurements, son.

BTW, I'm not even sure if Fiat is still making cars ....
Yeah, but they're called Chryslers now.
You're being tortured, you just don't know it.
Actually, Sergey is a bit behind the times, linguistically. He should have said that Windows is conducting enhanced interrogations on users.
I was unpopular in High School, but I question whether that was because I was unwilling to conform, or because I had absolutely no idea how to do so.
Spielberg, I imagine, was in a similar position, unless he discovered a method of magically becoming a goy.

My nuclear meltdown scale goes to 11.
It's one worse.
McEliese isn't "immune to attack even by quantum computers," it's immune to one specific form of quantum cryptanalysis.
