Actually, I agree it looks like a Luger.

It only seems reasonable that the employer should be required to inform the employee before they are monitored. No one should be secretly monitored.

Actually since you ask, I am a physician who volunteers at a homeless shelter one day a week to provide health services. So I probably know more about American poverty than 99% of all people.

So edgy.

Diaz, Gizmodo so frequently runs photographs of military hardware without any acknowledgment of what that machinery is used to do. It is refreshing to see a post that acknowledges what these machines are made for. Thank you for writing a post with this essential context. We should never forget what these machines were…

I think that the point of this post is that we get military gear porn every day on this website, but we never really stop to consider what that machinery is being used for and the horror it inflicts on military and civilian public populations.

The poverty line is an estimate of the amount of income needed to meet only the basic necessities. It is a number produced by economists, not a political party like the Democrats. Your suggestion that the poverty rate is a political tool demonstrates that you don't understand what poverty rates mean and how they are…

I knew what your objections would be, preemptively addressed them, and you still don't get it.

Some people steal because they want money, but others till because they need money. This would solve the problem of the latter group. And I know what you're going to say next, but a lot of people suffer unforeseen financial problems they could never prepare for like big medical issues. And I know what you're going to…

Ok, here's my attempt: when Apple Pay uses the credit card number, it displays on the screen a photograph of the card owner for the clerk to verify. Then the criminal has to look like the owner of the card. It is by no means a perfect solution.

Because conservatives do not have a sense of humor. Seriously. Think of 10 comedians. Now look up their political affiliations. Unless you thought of the blue collar comedy tour, you just thought of 10 Democrats.

My comment wasn't meant quite so literally. Rich people don't get rich specifically by buying fake Rolexes. They do get rich by keeping a close tab on expenditures.

Oh yes. Rolexes use automatic mechanical movement. Automatic watches keep TERRIBLE time. Quartz watches are far superior when it comes to time accuracy. There is no comparison.

Let me share a little secret about how rich people get rich: they don't waste their money. Plenty of people who are rich enough to buy a Porsche-load of Rolexes still wear the fakes because there are excellent fakes that cost many thousands less. If there are high-end fakes that are indistinguishable from the real…

There are two types of people in the world: ones who can extrapolate from incomplete data

How do robots learn to run Gizmodo? By reading Reddit, obviously.

Regardless of what you call it, the average consumer has no awareness of DirectX making the name meaningless. The name is terrible.

Naming your gaming platform after DirectX is a terrible decision.

A downscaled screen resolution actually looks a little bit worse than a monitor that natively runs that lower resolution. So you pay extra for a screen with a resolution you can't use and that looks worse than a lower resolution screen.

That is hard criticism to swallow from a guy who named himself "showbiz2".
