@MazdaMania: The two dots and the deflector make a face. Giz did a post about this very thing a while ago...

@C3PA: Can my friend Chill Rob G come along?

@Kuwabara Kazuo: Are you calling these blokes gay?

@Dayv: 38 here. Do I win?

@kingcrim84: Sometimes even that's not good enough. Back in 2005, while perusing the forums for the MMO The Matrix Online, someone created a thread titled "Snape kills Dumbledore" mere days after the release of Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince. I wasn't even interested in the books back then, but once I did…

@merchantofcville: This is awesome. As a hiker who would love to hike the Triple Crown (Appalachian Trial, Pacific Crest Trail, and Continental Divide Trail), I have mad respect for someone who is out there strollin' across this majestic country of ours.

@FauxReal: Movies don't have to be shot in HD to look great on Blu-ray. And no, most are not upconverted from the DVD master. Some are, and that leads to some ugly results, but most are remastered from the original film. Film has a higher resolution than Blu-ray, anyway, so when the remastering job is done right,…

@Zachary Hearns: What if the so-called "white hole" is the source of dark matter and dark energy that seem to infuse our cosmos? Perhaps by virtue of some property of passing from one universe to another through the black hole, regular matter/energy is converted into dark matter/energy. And perhaps the key to…

@gnargle: It got promoted because your reply got promoted.

@lldsandsFLll: Your mistake was assuming it was the "No I'm not 18" link. Read it again.

@shalegac: Isn't it Pacquiao that's refusing the drug tests that Mayweather is demanding before agreeing to the fight?

@genicide4u: The IT guy will be a doctor...repairs will require surgery. Eventually there will be computer health insurance and computer HMOs.

@The Yellow Peril: Right, the article here should have specified that it was the spot most isolated from land in the northern hemisphere or something like that.

@The Yellow Peril: Yes, turns out the oceanic pole of inaccessibility is in the South Pacific.

@AwokeKnowing: We're a lot closer to understanding how life was formed...from organic molecules to amino acids to possibly an early form of RNA that led to DNA. We're still missing some steps, but the picture is getting clearer. Turns out that cosmic impacts may play a key role, and that the bombardments of the…

@Ostrander: Not just the same set of facts, but the same crime. In this case, the defendant had never gone to trial and been acquitted. Had that happened, it would have been game over for such a foolish prosecutor, because of such a blatant lack of evidence. But by waiting until there was sufficient evidence,…

@Jagan Mohan: Nope. They might be able to charge you with a different crime, but you cannot be charged again for a crime of which you have been previously acquitted. For example, O.J. Simpson could confess to double murder now and the Los Angeles District Attorney's office couldn't do a damn thing about it.

@cdimarzio: Especially if he's been pumping iron the whole time.

@awer25: No, double jeopardy would only apply if the defendant had been acquitted at trial. The prosecution would then be unable to try him again.

@Helvetica: Yes! This was the reference I immediately went searching for in the comments.
