ok, yes, an addendum: if you run the risk of causing death or serious injury, don't just jump in.

This is an awesome article. It took me 2 years past college to learn how I learn. If I'm able to get my hands dirty, or create something, and actually "feel" the direct consequences of success and failure, anything at ALL learned will stick and will ignite the desire to learn more.

I just wish a foot would come crashing down through the roof of this asshole house on webcam.

I don't know what it is about cockroaches but they're so acutely repulsive, for no discernible reason at all. I'm not AFRAID of them but if one is near me I literally cannot focus on anything else until the fucker stops existing. The hate is overwhelming.

I can think of maybe a few very specific applications for this, but I think whipping out a pocket scale at a f***ing restaurant and weighing your food right there on the table is taking it a bit too far from a practical, dietary, and societal standpoint.

I think your sarcasm detector is broken :( Gizmodo doesn't have any articles on sarcasm detectors, only bullshit detectors, so I think you might be SOL :(:(

oh my bad, i thought that was an actual surveillance photo of a hacker sitting in front of a wall with random binary code projected onto it

The fact that the hacker is wearing a balaclava is hilarious. I bet he's in the process of typing "hack database" or something.

Of course, nothing takes professional sports to the next level like random mass fatalities.

Fact: if this is implemented AT LEAST ONE athlete will at some point suffer a horrific injury when the thing malfunctions and eats them.

EXCEPT FOR THIS CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF H4X1NG

There are a lot of people hating on this but it's really not a bad idea. I usually carry a knife on me but it's not unthinkable that I'd forget it and have some coins in my pocket. Plus I imagine you could apply this tip elsewhere besides chip bags.
