There just is no place for guys like me in the political process anymore. I'm a civil-libertarian, social-liberal, fiscal-conservative, non-bible-thumper with no place to call my own. Ron Paul Nation?
They should put a little protection in there for those that want to teach the Flat Earth concept, too. That's nothing compared to the protection teachers would need if they dared explain that Lincoln did not "end slavery".
You might want to check the spelling on "Carmack" again, Sparky. With all due respect to your 5-digit UID, I was referring to a certain pundit named after a keyboard layout.
So just because Woz said it, it's news? His opinions are nothing new, at all, and have zero insight as an Apple "insider".
Cut the guy some slack. For some reason, people whose last name ends in "-ak", are just incapable of understanding the marketing side of Apple products. (Ya, I'm, lookin' at you John C.)
Only the karma-rich Haves hold disdain for plebeian posts. They're "off-topic" or "Troll", even flamebait in their metro-sexual eyes.
Yet for the 80% of the/. population that does not have a subscription to see into the future, Digg is the fountain of knowledge and education they have free access to. Low user-ID/.-ers to go places like that. The forums are like clubs as you have to have lots of intelligence to post there. With the average post being modded 2 or lower.(Most posts I want to read are in the +4 mod-point mod point. It ensures that the icky poor people will not be there.
Your post was at +2 when I replied, but whenever I see the term "price-point", MUST... RESIST... URGE... TO FLAME...
I should've cleared up that I was referring to the guy marking up his Xbox. Some comments suggested that it was standard procedure at the repair centers to wipe the case clean using alcohol. If this is the case, markings using a toluene-based permanent marker would not have been erased.
Second, no military anywhere has deployed fully automated (no human on trigger/joystick) weaponized systems ever, yet we're to expect legions of them very soon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_mine
I was this close to a snarky comment about you not killing yourself doing that stupid shit.
Then I remembered doing the same sort of shit. Good times...good times. Yeah, in retrospect I agree that it's pretty amazing I didn't kill myself or my 8-year-old partner-in-crime brother doing that stuff (or worse--such as "bazooka battles" using bottle rockets aimed horizontally with a PVC pipe), but, as you said, good times no doubt. Learned some physics/chemistry though...
Reminds me of the time I taught my little bro the concept of resonance by pulling down a tree using our bare hands... we synced our push-pull impulses with the natural resonant frequency of an initially barely-flexing trunk and eventually brought the thing down.
Only 79.8 km (out of 80...) left to go, if you take the lowest recognized definition of outer space. Heck, I've done 200m with a butane canister with the bottom cut out (the seamless top withstands the pressure wave). I punch a hole on top, jam a firecracker inside (mainly just around 10g powdered aluminum--otherwise known as a "five-star") with the fuse sticking out the top and launch it from a pan filled with water. This was at age 10. The best aspects of this technique were virtually silent detonation (just water splashing out of the pan) and extremely homogeneous thrust (the thing went straight up, eventually landing just a few meters beyond launch point).
And what's really stupid is that there are commercial devices available which are bidirectional for under US$600. Sounds like great US military spending. An even cheaper "bi-directional" alternative is to use the Hercules C-130s the US military already has and get the heck outta there already.
Where exactly will the external battery go? On the USB port, the mini-DVI port or the sound jack? MagSafe is not neccessarily desirable for an external battery if you're really low on juice and the battery suddenly coming off would be bad. External batt to MagSafe. Just use the external first so if comes off, you still have the internal.
Now I have the ideal excuse to have Kathleen Turner's number on speed dial! Unfortunately this tech comes 25 years too late. However, don't lose that number. It might still be useful for power generation using pre-petroleum technology (see:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whale_oil).
We already know that this car doesn't have things like power strearing but does it have things like air bags and ABS and meet the same saftey requirements for Europe (and anywhere else with strong safety requirements)?
Probably not. But probably still safer than a motorcycle.
Lasers in the far field follow inverse square too. This applies when they shine lasers at the retroreflectro array on the Moon. Darn. So does that mean I have to settle for a frickin' guppy to mount this puppy on?

Why is everybody talking about the substrate instead of the pigment?
The guy should carry around a toluene-based permanent marker instead of an alcohol-based Sharpie.
That's not sailing; it's just drifting with style!

1. Come up with new idea.
2. Tell someone about it.

4. LOSS!

Copyright law has always begged the question of what constitutes a "copy". Such laws don't even have a well-formed definition of a "work".
...doesn't it mean it has some evolutionary advantages? No, just that not everyone prefers HP Sauce.An even cheaper "bi-directional" alternative is to use the Hercules C-130s the US military already has and get the heck outta there already.
Probably not. But probably still safer than a motorcycle.
