Personally, I like the look of a watch, but functionally, it lets me check the time.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of atmosphere for a large part of the trip, by the time they hit the atmosphere, they're going fast enough that a parachute would have to be ridiculously large and durable to even attempt to slow them down.

I'd guess it has many, many more than that. Along the way, there's any number of things that can go wrong. Once it lands, lots could go wrong. On the decent, lots could go wrong.

Well, this study would seem to indicate that the important factor is having a restricted window of time during the day that you eat, rather than necessarily when that window is. If somebody is eating breakfast shortly after waking, lunch in the middle of the day, dinner at a reasonable hour, and a snack before bed (or…

"BUT WEIGHT LOSS IS ALL ABOUT CALORIES IN AND CALORIES OUT!!!!1 NO STUDY HAS EVER SHOWN OTHERWISE!!"

But wouldn't it sound better if he just extracted the audio directly? *shrug* Whatev. Who am I to talk? I haven't created shit.

So wait, is he connecting wires from the audio output to the input?

Same here. Never found a need for Readability. It requires far too much forethought.

Hey, that's harsh. I was agreeing with you, man. I thought we were going to be best friends and hold hands and skip while mocking people that choose to pay more for nice things because we're obviously much cooler and smarter than them.

This is a great option. Places like Tandy Leather sell belt blanks for like, $10. The expensive part will be getting a leather punch for the belt holes, but once you get that, you can use it for as many belts as you want. Make 'em for friends, family, yourself, whatever.

What are you calling a "nice leather belt"? If it said "genuine leather", it was garbage, regardless of how nice it looked or how much it cost.

HA HA YEAH. FUCK THOSE MORONS. PAYING MORE FOR QUALITY IS STUPID. I BET THEY PAY EXTRA FOR THINGS LIKE "ZIPPERS" ON THEIR PANTS, AND BREAD WITHOUT MOLD SPOTS. THAT'S PENICILLIN, LOSERS.

Heh. I didn't actually click through. Glad the article proved you right, though. :)

THIS. UHOH! is an ICQ sound. [www.youtube.com]

I'm 30 and can still hear it. That was one of the biggest reasons I was thrilled to get an LCD. :)

I like the look of the new UI for the most part, but hate that I have to scroll to the top of a post to go back to the post view (hey, at the very least, since we're going gesture-heavy, just let me pull the article to the right to move it out of the way).

What do you mean? You tap an item. It opens up. You have content.

I get that. I just get tired of Gizmodo's writers constantly whining or bashing... EVERYTHING.

Every day, I think Gizmodo gets further and further down the "kid that's trying to act cool, so it complains about how everything sucks" path. In case nobody told you, almost-constant negativity hasn't been cool since junior high.

Happy to help! I think I learned that from Michael Pollan's Omnivore's Dilemma. Good book if you're interested in this sort of thing.
