I read a review on wine.woot.com - Woot! of all places - where someone said that a wine tasted of "moist earth from under the bush." Seriously. I understand an earthy taste. I don't understand how moist earth from under the bush is different from moist earth under the patio. I asked, but got no response. I'm just not…

I haven't had a home phone since I was 18 and moved out for the first time. A pity, this is cool. Maybe some day I'll need a dedicated line that I'm happy to leave somewhere when I go, but that time is not now.

Best Black Friday I ever had: my first year after I got out of the retail game in my teens. My girlfriend and I got off a night shift at 7am and were sitting at home and said, "You wanna go to the mall?" "For what?" she asked. "Coffee."

I have no idea, but I'm guessing that if it penetrates walls then newspaper won't really be a problem... but who knows? Maybe your wifi router will interfere with reception.

Weird. I got an email from Google Checkout like ten minutes ago that was really suspicious. Totally unrelated, but oddly synchronous.

Not if everything switches to micro and mini usb! Then you'll only need two cables... or one cable and one adapter.

The CloudFTP contains a li-ion battery to power external devices... in the video they show him accessing a portable hard drive via an iPad.

I don't think you understand my position. All I asked in my first post was that you support your argument rationally. I poked holes in your argument because it was shoddy. I told hoocli that I think the statistics are muddled, and that there's plenty of evidence to support both sides. To me that suggests we're either…

Looks like Paypal... a lot like Paypal.

Yeah! Just think if they take graphene and nanotubes and hydrogen metal and stick them together it will be the coolest thing since wearing a sport coat with blue jeans. I don't know what it will do, but it will do it really, really fast.

My money is made out of plastic, too...

It may seem self-evident, but do you have any evidence to support the notion that the US has more inherent intercultural tension because of the diversity of its population (as opposed to some other reason)? If there is no other country with which to compare the US, how can you know the fact that we're a melting pot…

That's certainly one perspective. I'm not sure I agree, either philosophically or based on statistics. Both sides of the debate can quote stats that support their position, which to me suggests the question of whether owning a gun makes you safer is muddled (in that it may make some people more safe and others less).

I don't really have any interest in this argument, but your point #3 is belied by your own link. I mean, Japan, Canada, Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands all have gun control laws that are more strict than the US and fewer intentional homicides. Japan has extremely restrictive gun ownership laws, and they rank…

They wouldn't be checking to see if the information you provide is real unless it's part of a criminal investigation. This commenter points out (I think, rationally) that it seems designed more to give them something with which to charge predators who target children. So they won't be coming to your house with a…

Yeah... that's why my spam address is a real address. I just never check it... what happens when you hit your gmail limit? Oh, right, mail bounces back to the sender. Well, as long as ToS don't require me to receive their mail (with the exception of sending me an email verification), no biggy.

Oh, well Russia definitely has a reason to bomb Abbotsford, BC. Abbotsford has a big sign that says, "Screw you, Russia!" over city hall.

I survive! ... assuming they go for cities >250k. Which they probably would. Seattle makes sense... maybe Vancouver, BC, but Victoria? No one wants to bomb Victoria. It's too pretty. Plus you might hit Nanaimo and end our supply of delicious nanaimo bars.

If you have a spare nuke, why not? I mean, I assume you've driven around Tallahassee? No one would notice it was a radioactive crater.
