iClown is the future of all living. You may have thought you had a life before iClown, and you were wrong. What does iClown do? Nobody knows. iClown comes into your home and does things while you aren't there. Important things. iClown takes your belongings and moves them away to another person's house to store…

It's this. I had one too, they were sweet.

Google voice actions just called, it wanted to welcome you all to last year and asked that I pass on the following message: "When that copycatting bitch Apple lets you open a free navigator with voice, then I'll start to take them seriously."

Yes, flying is a right. It falls under the liberty part of 'life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness'. One of the long-established aspects of liberty is the right to travel within the borders of your country as you see fit without going through undue restriction in the process. Having a goon touch your penis is…

It's not 3D hologram technology. There's a transparent screen on the stage that they're being projected on ala perfectly normal 2D movie projection tech. The trick is being pulled off very well to make the illusion of a hologram, but it's still just a trick.

My latest blood test came in at 5.9, so normal not-diabeetus levels. I'm still taking one metformin pill a day; when I tried to cut it completely my glucose started inching back up to the 100s. If I exercised more, I could probably ditch the medication entirely.

I was working at WIRED during Chris Anderson's famous plagiarism scandal, and even after Anderson owned up for what ended up being a mistake, trolls across the Internet started digging up all sorts of dirt on him.

But if the kidnappers forced you into a walmart the RFID would totally set off the shoplifting sensors and you'd be saved! Well worth the five grand.

If I could give stars, you would get one for that, good sir. Well played!

And nothing of value was lost. I visited that casino/mall-thing last year and the place was just plain boring. You have casinos like Wynn's that go all out glitz, casinos with a strong theme like Caesar's, casinos that are shamelessly campy like TI, and that one was none of those things. It was okay but not…

Walther's PPS is also pretty dandy as light portable pistols go.

They're jellyfish, they don't care. They're essentially mobile plants for all the nervous system they possess. As long as they're being fed, they're having a good day.

The Deploy is a terrible gun, you're vastly better off with pretty much any of the magazine-fed nerf guns. The Recon, the Alpha Trooper, and the Raider are all better bets. The Stampede is hands-down best, but pricey on account of being full auto and on the big and clunky side.

Open carry is, to the best of my knowledge, legal nation-wide in the US. The trick is that most private property (such as the malls that apple stores reside in) have a posted no weapons policy, so even a person who would be legally armed out on the street would still be breaking the law by carrying it into the store.

Christians who think for themselves and actually read the Bible will hopefully come to the conclusion that Paul's writings are not the divine word of God and should not be treated as such. Paul was bringing his own perspective to the table when he wrote his letters, and that perspective has some visible prejudices. …

Given how hard it can be to make out the writing that was carved an inch deep into tombstones just a century ago, I have some grave doubts about how long something etched a couple of millimeters into the stone can last.

Yes, it's almost as if horrible tentacled abominations that ruled this planet long before mankind's first tremulous steps were surfacing to abduct people as they sleep. There to drag them down, down into stygian depths of madness and vivisection.

The Advanced made it into production, they just weren't being given to any pilots that weren't aces. There was never a question that the Empire could make better fighters, it simply didn't care to, as it did not give a damn about its pilots dying in fireballs.

Enterprise was my handle in the local BBSes back in the 90s. Later I sort of figured that naming a person after a vehicle was on the silly side of things, so it got left by the wayside.

You should have sympathy, as this is a stone's throw away from "video games make people into crazed murderers". A drawing doesn't make someone a rapist any more than shooting someone in CoD makes someone dangerous. It is not even vaguely prosecution-worthy.
