@fatfrank72: The one problem with being from Texas is all the people who aren't really from Texas but live up these ridiculous stereotypes so they can go around to other states and tell people they're from Texas.

@Meat Robot, commenting apprentice: Exactly.

@NeoTechni: why do you ask?

it seems particularly unlikely that this is intentional on the hunters part.

I was under the impression that 'pure' air particles had previously been captured over the ocean

As if we needed any more proof that dogs are better than cats

@photophile: aren't we all?

@SG-17: That's silly.The probablistic risk associated with terrorism events is extremely small.

@PurpleHeezy: Gene was spot on with why I felt this post was necessary.

M Night Shyamalan is the devil, but it's not a cameo, it's real life.

@fxsoap: They probably knew at some level, but believed it to be a minor issue until after the Reach launch when a lot of people started complaining.

@McWeary: too early/too little information to say what form the customization features will take.

@McWeary: I think the Node/Aspect/Network structure of Diaspora offers lots of options for additional features and customization inherent to the structure that facebook just won't be able to replicate, at least no easily. The article mentions at least one such advantage, because each person hosts their own node on the…

@NovaDeez: Microsoft doesn't really control the launch of Bungie titles. This is an issue effecting a number of games including Halo ODST and apparently Burnout as well, so it's not like pushing back the release date would have that much impact even if they could.

@Tyrunn: so? I'm lazy.
