Excuse me, but I must bump in as _the_ absolute internet king of F-16 identification. I kid you not, 10 years of staring at (and otherwise... admiring) F-16 photos every single day tends to have that effect.

Yeah, not just that, but being so closely related to the F-16, I :(('d hard seeing this. Like watching my little azn step-brother get beaten up by an angry mob. It's just devastating to see. :(

"No way in hell would I use a (hash-checked and verified) SP for business". That's what you're saying. If you know ANYTHING AT ALL about computers, you'd know that you can get properties on the file and verify its Microsoft digital signature... don't even need to know the original MD5 (you're seriously asking for a…

Problem is, it contains installer EXEs for x86, x64, and... and... *cough*... what the hell is this... and ia64. Yes, it has a freaking full size installer for Itanium in the package. Does MS even understand its target audience here? There is no ia64 version of Windows 7, only MAYBE Server 2008 R2 (which is also…

SLIC is your friend if you're worried about KB971033 :P

Oh HELL no. fugly, come on.

It's most certainly not more awesome... what's more awesome is being an actual fighter pilot. Now that's something worth working towards.

@bakru84: Pretty much this... I'd been wondering what all the sad sop was about. Sad sop about how sad the guy on the phone sounds, but that's about it... a lost moment for both of them unless the video somehow makes it back to them. But that moment will still happen the next time he gets a chance to call her. I was…

@webguy16: Brief internet lesson: "become an hero" is a 4chan meme for "killing yourself".

@That guy: COMPLETELY freakin' agree here. I was practically outraged when I saw this article acting like someone did her a favor or it was a "miracle" she survived. A blown suicide attempt is the absolutely most demeaning thing that could ever happen to someone... it's just heartbreaking to hear that someone wanted…

Alright, yeah, if I ever win the lotto, I'm hiring this company to build my 1:1 replica F-16. Except I want that one to be flyable (and lighter, and with a lesser engine, and not a weapons platform, and, yeah. I'm so serious about this). :P

@emuaccount: A month or so too late, but I was searching for info on the new "instant preview" feature on Google and stumbled on this article, and I just had the burning urge to say EXACTLY what you just said. So, yeah, this is me agreeing 100%. I hate Instant, I shut it off the first day it started scrambling my…

Personally, I'd much rather eat something that's not going to rot, over something that would turn raunchy, anyway... :P

@Shiverr!: As a Ninja biker, *forgives*... better than the guys saying "Kawasucki" I guess. :P

@Shiverr!: Kawa... ssss.... ehhh. I dunno, are you being serious? :P

@Daniel Wired: Adjust your eyes. If it were any darker it would be indistinguishable from the text. I'm glad they have it the color they do...

@cowboybebopfan: Excuse me while I provide the crickets in reply to your question.

@leGodt: And. Somehow. Getting stoned is a bad thing?

@moonshadowkati: It's got Twitter.

@wannahakkalooki: Set prices for data value will never work. You really think 1GB over a gigabit Ethernet connection is worth the same amount of time (money) as 1GB over a DSL WAN connection? Hardly. Different mediums pose different data-transmission problems, and I can definitely understand why wireless providers…
