Like bands, no one likes to visit florida unless it's for a large eared mouse or to die. On second thought, no one wants to visit florida... Nothing to see here, move along
Florida is awesome:
Kennedy Space Center
Miami Beach
Marco Island
Key West - Where else can you *drive* to the Caribbean?
I would say the era of the legal 'personal drone' is rapidly coming to an end. Some people can't use them responsibly, so like everything else fun they will be banned.
Mysteriously, you are also quite happy to deficit-finance the billions upon billions it costs to incarcerate millions of your citizens.
If you want to lock up all those people for petty crimes (then throw away the key) then at least raise taxes so your citizens understand the true cost, instead of just borrowing the money to fund it. Eventually that's gonna unravel.
Actually many (not all) of the policemen and policewomen in the U.S. are ex military.
That in itself can be a problem. Take a person who has been trained to shoot first and ask questions later and then make them into civilian law enforcement.
We will do what we like, and you will always have to live with it.
Of course we will live with it - But don't expect us to accept nonsense like "We'll change our mind once a gun is pointed at us." We don't live in gun-crazy nations, so we're not going to experience that.
We're also fellow humans, so we're allowed to comment on the insanity of it all when nutballs gun down your children and you just shrug and say "Oh well, nothing we can do. Guess we better get more guns then."
I hope someone points a gun at you one day, maybe you'll change your snarky assed stance.
Up here in Canada guns are severely restricted. As a result, it's unlikely in the extreme that you'll ever have one pointed at you.
This is something the gun nut anonymous cowards like you refuse to accept: If guns are restricted, *everyone* has less access to them, including the bad guys.
Seriously, what good is that "surface" crap, except maybe as 3rd or 4th computer? This thing basically is an overprices Internet terminal and bad at that.
What e-learning pedagogical objectives in K12 can't be met with a Surface RT? Be specific.
I'm a frequent business traveller. It's interesting to note how fewer and fewer airline staff wear name tags, or if they do they just say "Flight Attendant."
Compare that with the tags in hotels, where they usually state the name, and often the staffer's home town.
Then why do employer not want to give up health insurance and let everyone get health insurance like they get car insurance?
I'm sure employers would love to get out of having to supply health insurance. However, the USA has for some reason created this convoluted health 'insurance' system whereby employers are supposed to take care of Americans, not the nation-state.
...but you know how it is. Every other developed nation in the world is wrong, and the USA is right. Same with guns, of course.
One of the most complex machines built and operated by man has allegedly been shot down from 40,000 feet by a sophisticated explosives-carrying rocket missile, and it's not 'news for nerds?'
I was talking to an economist friend, and he was saying one way to greatly reduce crime would be to eliminate all hard currency over $5 and make the currency that was left just coins.
Yeah, yeah, I know the libertarians would go apeshit, but the world for the likes of Tony Soprano would crumble.... Most criminals would no longer be able to transact business, as they operate in a cash system.
Citizens won't pay taxes to fund the things they want like roads, parks and sewer pipes, so city governments have to come up with alternate funding mechanisms such as hotel taxes and taxi medallions.
When alternate services like Airbnb and Lyft come along, that funding decreases - Rather than raise taxes or let potholes grow (and be turfed from office) they attack the services that are cutting into their revenue.
If you're going to mutilate the genitals of your young girls, tell your women they can't drive, stone people to death for drawing cartoons, marry off children, beat homosexuals in the street until they're bloody and starve your citizens until near death then hell yeah I'm going to tell you how to live in your nation.
Don't be naive. The only reason Russia and other oppressive nations pass laws like these is so they can better monitor what their 'citizens' are doing and saying. It's a lot easier to lock up whoever wrote "Putin Sucks" online if the data is in a Russian server.
Not a cheat code per se, but when you play Armored Patrol on your TRS-80 Model 1, there is a 'trick' that allows you unlimited energy.
If you back your tank up to the edge of 'the universe' and then point your barrel back into the arena at bad guys you can just keep shooting and shooting and get an unlimited score - You'll never run out of energy and no tank or robot can kill you.
I remember leaving for school in 1982 with the space bar taped down, and then coming home to a zillion points.
Slashdot Mirror
Airlines are running into physical space issues. In their quest for ever more seats
It's not the airlines quest for more seats, it's the passengers' quest for even cheaper fares.
If airline A has 34 inches of pitch with a $550 ticket and airline B has 30 inches for $500, the passengers will flock to the $500 ticket.
Passengers need to start making it clear with their wallet that they are no longer going to fly lower-priced sardine airlines.

This is why we can't have nice things.
He should have pushed for court
How much did you contribute to his crowdfunding campaign to help cover the million-dollar cost of going to court?
This is why I think the Reddit public scoring system is about the best you're going to get
The problem with this system is that, on Reddit, a downvote = "I disagree."
You get entire discussions where eveyone is downvoted to -14, for no apparent reason.

What do you want to do? Sell devices or make money on apps?
What if you'd asked Edwin Land the same question in 1972?
What do you want to do? Sell Polaroid cameras or make money on instant film?
It's too big to be a space station!

Lighten up, Anonymous Coward.
The first time I read the headline I thought it said Chemists Build First "Buckyball" Made of Bacon .
Boron's OK, I suppose, but bacon would have been way wicked cooler.

And yes, when driving across the US, you DO have to be concerned about range
How often do you drive across the US?
Out of all your friends and family, how often do they drive across the US?
"Open the hatchback door, Ford."
"I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."
