.exe code? Is that like .jpg pixels or .doc words?

Wish Giz had provided a more detailled explanation to command noobs out there.

Well at least you may actually be able to do something now

I was going to comment that "no it is actually quite easy" and then explain why....therefore exposing my nerdom...so to others I warn.

I think i'll go with the 220 mile range

Came here to post the same thing. "Surpising"? Sure. "Astonishing"? Maybe. "Chilling"? Um, no.

Chilling? Let's use the same exaggerated, oversized markers, but instead of US military bases, mark the number of McDonald's restaraunts located around the world.

This. The term "military base" conjures up images of heavily outfitted compounds with tanks, weapons stockpiles, etc when in reality most of them are just tiny outposts.

Did people freak out this much when automobiles stumbled onto the scene? or when the magic of flight was discovered? or electricity?

The "Operadio Explainette". This makes me think that people don't try as hard when naming things these days.

Try this one?

Bring all your gluten over here! I'll take it!

Great piece, Andy! One thing I'd add: there's some evidence that gluten really isn't so new to human diets.

Thank god someone wrote this up. I'm so sick of all my hippy friends insisting I go gluten free because gluten is from GMO grain, and it's bad for you, and no human should ever eat it. Ugh!

I work at Whole Foods, you wouldn't have the slightest idea of how retarded the people are who shop there. Its like Starbucks to them. I had this one lady who wouldn't even eat bee honey. Fucking RETARDS.

Even if two people must type on one keyboard.

Don't forget, keyboard commands only.

Hackers can type at twice the rate of a pro typist and can hack any system without having to use the ESC, SPACE and RETURN keys, though they will use the RETURN key to start something big/important.
