Wow, you *really* don’t know know what you are talking about - or you are being fantastically facetious. I can’t tell. I say all of that in an astonished, friendly way.

Remember, not every weapon will hit the target. The Russians created bigger bombs than the US because their targeting was worse. Look up Circular Area of Probable Hit, its like a Venn diagram of terribleness. You had to have multiple warheads target a single high value area because not all of them would actually hit…

Just really well done. Heading to a waterfall-filled place with the fam this weekend and going to take along my brand spanky new variable ND and spend a few hours shooting. You’ve inspired me, good sir/ma’am!

The rover did fly, really well...once.

Well done! Can you post details of the shot?

Who said anything about trying to lower rents? Did you even read the article?

The more you think about...what? The fact that he played it a bit safe, bet on the Come line and made sure we would have a SW cinematic universe to rival Marvel’s? Wow, what a talentless asshole he is! I really wasn’t thrilled with either Trek movie, but TFA was a goddamn good movie and this fake, over-dramatic nerd…

Not only likely but probable. 24 accesses is nothing- if there were true data theft, you’d see hundreds of accesses over the time it was open. Hell, 4-8 of those accesses would have been me, testing and making sure i believe my own eyes before i report it higher.

I’m from CO and I’ve *never* heard that- has someone actually said that to you? Did you punch them for me?

I just got back from seeing it- and the only thing I disagree with is your assertion that it is not as good as the first two films. This may be the best Star Wars film yet. As I posted on FB:

Some basic knowledge about the physical structure of the Internet would benefit you greatly. It is physically impossible to cut Syria off, as we do not have a direct link to Syria. It might be theoretically possible to block a set of Syrian IPs, but I’m no hacker and *I* could get around that. Other than that, you…

Still sounds good to me. Lets try another extremely similar analogy- “hey there is a children’s playground right where we need to build significant scientific equipment. The children who believe their invisible friends play there will be pissed, but it will massively benefit mankind, so...”

No, it’s not. I rented a jeep and drove right up to one of the bigger telescopes, parked next to it, and wandered around in awe two years ago. Not sure what difference it makes either way, but it is not an exclusive zone for anything.

Thank you Annalee- I have the same bittersweet emotion now that I did when I watched this...

Son of a bitch. Gawker is taking the few good things I liked about this site and shitcanning them. The Vane, Indefinitely Wild, AND (basically) io9? Could they scream *any* louder “WE WANT THIS SITE DUMBER!”

Please tell me you are joking. Please.

SonufaBitch! Thank you for existing.

Some great pragmatic thought in here, but you really distract the reader with the all-caps emphasis words. I promise- your writing will have the same effect without such liberal use of capital letters. Also- thanks for bumming me out. :)

If no one you know has watched it, you need new friends. And family.

Touching the Void had to be near the top, and you came through, Wes. Great list!
