Head of CIA learns deception trick from terrorists. Not sure how to feel about that. I suppose it's better than terrorists learning deception tricks from the CIA.

Naval warfare was fun enough, but a game that is primarily about climbing and melee combat has no boarding actions. You sit there and tell me AC3 can't have that when Sly 3 had it on the PS2.

They know that they'll never escape from being a Japanese brand, their name is too obviously Japanese, the cute Mii art style screams Japan, so why not embrace that bit of their national identity that's tied up in their brand? The two bowing gents in the smart car seemed to work out well for them last time, so I think…

Gotta get in one last shot: make sure to clean the dog crap off the roof.

Hybrid offspring will result.

Would that really play havoc with them? I know that pulse width modulation is the standard way for an electronic device to dim an LED, like the breathing action on a power light. Is it the fact that the pulses are AC that causes the problem? Or is it the on-bulb electronics rather than the LED elements themselves that…

"Spend a lot and spend it again in 20 years" vs. "Spend a lot and spend it again in 50" are two very different math problems, especially if a utility is state owned, and is therefore on a longer timetable than a private company. If this makes a same price battery last longer it's a big deal.

Money doesn't change lives so much as the stuff you buy with it. Presumably a for number of the other things she bought did as well.

The other end could be a standard wall plug (from any country, they are all different internationally) but this is the end for the car. The reason it has so many holes is that it is intended to carry a variety of currents, AC and DC, and a variety of voltages, and deliver them to the right ports on the car.

High 40s if they're lucky.

Spring pendulum scale. A sliding pan on a short track, with a spring that tries to keep the pan in the middle. If you strap a mass into the pan and set it moving, the period of the oscillations change depending on what the mass is. They have one big enough for astronauts, I saw it on an old Nova.

Not truck drivers either.

More, no doubt. If all you want to do is talk and text don't bother. But once a smartphone has replaced a few hours a day of idle time for a laptop or a desktop PC that used to sit running all day to let you know you got an email, the difference is gone. I for one used to use my laptop and my Wii or PS3 to read the…

They might if they had a 4k TV to sell, which they might by 2014.

I was about to ask if anyone knew of any special gear designed for paraplegic divers. I would think that it'd be popular given the number of limited mobility people who like to swim.

So a bunch of vitamin supplements and amino acids dissolved in a soda is marginally better than a plain old soda? Logical I suppose.

Ironically, those women who go for rich men do it because they expect the guy to buy them stuff. Mitt's entire campaign is built on the idea that the government has been paying for too many nice things like job training and healthcare, and that unless you're a defense contractor or an oil company you'll get nothing…

My rule is if it's fun on Facebook it's fun on a phone. Don't shoot! But basically that's it. Asynchronous multiplayer, point-and-click interfaces and gameplay divided into short bursts is an optimal setup for a phone. It's a thing you carry everywhere that you're already prepared to have bothering you periodically.
