I'm sure all the Teabaggers would be up in arms demanding better security to keep the damn aliens from coming into our country and taking our jobs... oh wait, they already do that!
Only if Captain James Kirk is involved. Never have I seen such an aficionado of dating outside his own species! Apparently it is no longer considered beastiality if you're doing it with a talking cow.
Costco. I have some of these in my bathroom now that bother me, but then I also hear CRT noise and the noise that incandescents connected to cheap dimmer switches make. All CFLs have step-up transformers, the good ones convert the AC to a higher frequency before putting it through the transformer. But really CFLs are just a stop-gap until we get cost effective LEDs. LEDs are highly efficient, but they also have a flaw -- they are highly directional. Great for spot lighting, not so good for ambient lighting.
Couldn't the HDCP authentication handshake already be circumvented by an HDMI Y-Cable? Connect one side to legitimate HDMI monitor, the other to your recording device, and you get a valid handshake. Seems like a huge gaping hole if you don't also encrypt all content.
My initial reaction as well, but stuxnet was designed to infect air-gapped machines though the USB flash drive. Now, why any competent system admin would leave autorun enabled IS beyond me.
That's the beauty of the scheme; when the winter comes, the langur monkeys all freeze to death... unless they can figure out some way to get inside the buildings...
You ain't seen nothin' yet. Just wait 'til President Hillary takes office... then it will be damn near impossible for a decent, hard-working man like Bill to get a blowjob under the table without the government finding out about it!
You've got it backwards. The US is prevented by law from using it's spying technologies to spy on it's own citizens. However, it is perfectly legal to use it to spy on British citizens, while the British government uses similar technology to spy on American citizens, and then they just trade information. Voila -- perfectly legal!
If you compare the $2 do-it-yourself cost for a bulb and socket with the $10,000 cost for a geothermal installation, over the short term an incandescent bulb is a heck of a lot cheaper! Point is, people should be allowed to choose their own tools for their own requirements. Want to make people use less electricity, then charge more for the electricity, don't outlaw inefficient appliances. (That being said, the Energy Star certification program to label all appliances with estimated energy cost is a worthwhile function of government as it helps people make educated decisions.)
Your forgetting the awful audible noise that cheap CFCs give off. Drives me nuts. Between that and the awful color of the light, those things seem designed to cause headaches.
I suspect the markup charged by the owners of the machines would far exceed any short term fluctuations in gold price. The real target market for these is people about to file bankruptcy who haven't maxed out their credit cards yet...
Shweeb is faster than walking and safer than riding your bike. It sounds feasible for point-to-point transportation, but doesn't scale well because of a serious flaw: rider traffic is not evenly distributed. Pods will tend to accumulate more on some platforms than others during different times of the day, leading to some platforms overflowing while others run out of pods. Since it is human powered, the only solution is rely on riders to push empty pods around, but then you've got to have every platform capable of automatically dispatching pods,
I own a Wii, but not a PS3 (because I'm cheap). The difference is not just in the graphics, which are much, much better on the PS3. It's also that the PS3 includes a hard drive which allows for a lot of downloadable content! This makes a big difference in games like Guitar Hero/Rock Band, which I recommend getting for PS3 or Xbox, not for Wii. The stupid thing is, the Wii has USB ports, so it could easily add an external hard drive or flash memory. Also, although the Wiimote excels as a swordplay simulator and makes a decent steering wheel, it sucks as a pointing device. Wiimote also has rumble and audio (yes, it's 2-way); do the Sony remotes provide this? My biggest complaint about the Wiimote (besides it's imprecision) is the wire between Wiimote and numchuck -- it's shorter than the distance between my hands. I would have preferred 2 separate wireless devices rather than 1 device with a tether to another device; it's just awkward. If money were no object, I'd own a PS3; but then, if money were no object, I'd own all 3 consoles -- PS3, XBox, and Wii. That's why PS3 sales will never exceed Wii sales; if you can afford a PS3, you can probably afford a Wii as well!
You're misunderstanding the situation. The Possums were not introduced to compete with rats; they were introduced to provide a steady source of protein for the homeless. Unfortunately, they neglected to teach the homeless how to catch 'em.

What's the difference between this race and a group of midget hackers? The midgets are a bunch of cunning runts!

Connecting that critical infrastructure to the public internet was also a pretty meat-head move.

I don't think I'd want to see even one bikini-clad horse, let alone 150 of them running around a track!!!
But can it do endless loops in six seconds, like Linux can?

The CFLs also contain some pretty nasty chemicals, so if breakage is an issue, you definitely want incandescent.
We also used to use a light under the engine block as a cheap alternative to a headbolt heater. (This only works in an enclosed garage.)

I'm pretty sure Lindsay Lohan is all our fault too. Fortunately, in the case of Justin Bieber, we can always blame Canada!

You must be dyslexic. You've actually been drinking hardon flavoured beer! Which, to it's credit, is a lot stronger than American beer...
How can I be one of the first to sign up, so I can make sure I grab the "Pedobear" screen name?

people don't buy the Wii to play DVDs... Good thing, too, since it can't!
