What's interesting about the bubble crowd is that the only example of human history they have to cling on is some obscure reference from 1637. In the following 380 years they can't come up with anything else...
I'm wondering if this is the sort of technology that can be defeated with chicken wire.
I was wondering that, also, along with large butterfly nets, jumbo cans of silly string, large tennis racquets - now that would be fun, kind of like a lethal version of "pass the parcel" - but primarily I was wondering how long their batteries last, how well do they function in the rain, and how much facial recognition technology can you get into something the size of a matchbox? Enough to ensure that wearing a Guy Fawkes mask can keep you safe?
On second thoughts, maybe not a Guy Fawkes mask - they strike me as the sort of thing that would be on the kill list. Perhaps a papercraft Matt Damon mask; he's at the top of the one "nicest people in the world" list I consulted.
Is it important that a truck - presumably intended for long hauls rather than Tom-Slick-style racing - be able to accelerate like mad? Once, Ettore Bugatti, when asked about the brakes, quipped "I want it to go, not stop." From what speed can the Roadster 2 stop, safely?
1. They're having a very difficult time with getting those missiles to leave the launch pad. It's almost as if something were swatting them down shortly after launch.
I'd like to know if it installs Bonjour, like their free offering of "Starcraft" did.
I'd like to know if it installs Bonjour without telling you, unconcerned that it brings your system to a crawl if it can't find any other games on your local network. And that it doesn't come with an uninstaller, forcing you to look under the hood and then pry the fucking thing loose with a crowbar. Thank you, Apple.
Until a gamma-ray burst or a wandering black hole takes us ALL out.
What would the effect of a really strong gamma-ray burst be? I mean, I know generally we'd have a bad time, but how quickly would it strike, and what would it be like? Would there be time to point to the skies, cry out "Good lord! (choke!)"?
Oh, come on, really? We have to have “of death”? It’s just a thin line, jeez.
They are most likely referring to the gradual death of the users' belief in Apple's primacy, although it takes a lot of abuse for cultists to abandon their beliefs. Trust me, I'm a Subgenius - I know.
This. They see the stock market as being controlled by Wall Street; they can't get in on the game, so they turn towards another game that lets them do nothing while they imagine they're accruing value somehow. Nobody ever went broke offering people something for nothing.

I am now imagining Quark and the Grand Nagus doing that little dance, side by side, pointing their fingers in the air, leaning towards each other and shouting "Fu... sion.. HAA!"

That's why they use a clickbait headline that lies, and leave out the words "people believe."
Until we get real AI that can believe clickbait headlines, I tend to assume EVERYTHING is prefixed with "people believe..."
As for the article, obligatory Achewood: http://achewood.com/index.php?...
Option 1: blow it up
Option 2: tell everyone it's fake news and it doesn't exist
Option 3: retrieve it and put it in a theme park

Also, does an increase in teen suicide rates ever correlate with a decrease in adult suicide rates?
Yes. Teens who commit suicide rarely go on to become adults who commit suicide.
.. is "either quartz", and did anyone else find their youtube video a little short of details?
I think we actually used to call these kindergartens.
It's really hideous. Couldn't they come up with something watchable?
How much time do you spend staring at trucks?

does your browser of choice not have bookmarks? they're a neat feature. you should check it out.
However, in leaps, the quantum unit is huge. That why quantum leaps are so large.
I thought quantum leaps were when Count Baccula's conscious traveled back in time and takes over someone's body.
Oh, yeah! Did you see the one where he became the captain of a Federation starship?
How long before that bursts and there are hundreds if not thousands worthless crypto-currencies, like dot-coms after 2001?
There's always going to be someone who wants something for nothing.

Ha, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A is MUCH bigger than that!
Is this the next step in the Sovereign Citizen movement?

It's called technical incompetence.
NK has a bunch of hackers, did anyone expect them to twiddle their thumbs and just sat there doing nothing?
Pretty much all you can do, unless you have computers. Does President Kim let them borrow his when they're on the job?
You mean to tell me NK has MORE THAN ONE computer?
Oh wait, it's still 2017. My bad.
SHHH! Remember what happened to Galaxity!

True, however, it's also true that it's around the time of the winter haitus most TV shows undergo mid-season.
Why? Does it get too cold to film? Just set a bunch of episodes on an ice planet.
I wonder if it will work with any of the other bluetooth sharing things, like the Samsung one.
I wonder which one will become the standard, if ever, or if there'll eventually be half a dozen of them obstinately refusing to talk to each other.
Buy high, sell low, boys.
It worked for Tony Montana!
Oh, wait a minute. It didn't work. He died in a hail of bullets. But he was as high as a kite when it happened.

Of course Quark fusion is unacceptably unstable.

I'm not apologising.
