Thats not entirely true. Any article on any blog or news site that could be possibly be construed as political always has comments (assuming they are open for use) that are completely inane, often unrelated and frequently invoke Hitler comparisons. These people are self-righteous and they do not understand that they…

Or some ridiculously inane use of Xzibit. Some memes need to be put out to pasture.

The ONLY reason that I dont use my real name (and a lot of people I know dont) isnt because Im worried about public perception, Im just worried about my employer/potential future employers. Sarcasm and expletives can be hard for HR people to understand - even when you arent trolling.

Dr. Rego gives a short hypothesis as to why in the article. Definitely not definitive, but it is there and I would agree with it.

They are setting up an objective test, so why would they use subjective parameters for their evaluations? Toms Hardware benches everything, thats what they do - there are plenty of other entirely subjective reviews elsewhere.

Yeah no... You dont have to run it for days for memory leaks to occur (for one) and when they happen restarting firefox can take anywhere to a few minutes to half an hour. I have an older laptop (prob going to replace it soon) and if you leave firefox open for any amount of time it slows everything down (Office…

Oh yes I am well aware... I dont really know that the all wild bananas are quite like that though... Saw andrew zimmern do a survival show and he got some wild bananas. They looked a lot like our "dessert banana" (what you see at the grocery store) except of course they were green... When he tried to eat them,…

"It's not that I think electric cars are doomed forever. It's inevitable that in another couple of decades, their range will increase as battery capacity improves."

Only by dudes... given the percentages. but if thats what you are going for its a total win.

You should really put the price - Approx. 1000 euros ($1280) /square meter - so people know if this is pie in the sky or not.

I guess ill share the link anyhow (just in case you havent seen it it's pretty awesome)... Thought you were pointing to the earliest computers (vs programmers)... Here is the earliest known example:

Not really... They masked an "area", but that only distorts your perception of what they are masking (ie light) - and not your perception/experience of time or the speed at which light travels. The title implies something else entirely.

misread your post. poop.

Sadly, that tagline is probably closer to the truth than the one that they used. The one they use completely misrepresents what they are doing - and makes it sound like they somehow manipulated time as opposed to light.

Yeah i tried to embed the video on my post, but couldnt seem to figure out how to do it... kinda saps the pithiness. Also cant view tumblr from here anywho...

Id venture to guess that he was intoxicated on the smell of his own farts. #HubrisFart

It also has to do with how no one will tell these people no. They get into these insular environments where people constantly fawn over these people and would never dare say that any of their ideas could possibly be stupid.

How silly. Dont they realize that the banana is already perfectly designed for human consumption by God himself. This is sacrilege.

Thats good to know that its heavy though... If it wasnt heavy - that would mean one of two things - either it has no slate or it has a very, very thin one. If it wasnt heavy it wouldnt be too functional as a pool table.

yes. I have never heard of a lead pool table.
