This is pretty novel as far as political art goes. But I'll have to say I'm dumbfounded by all the hero worship for what amounts to George Bush's third term.

Wonder if they're adding green felt or leather switching to it.

I think "the internet" as a frontier is mostly nonsense. There's no risk in that venture, your life will never be in peril, and most people would be more likely to seek out pleasure rather than carve a destiny. There's no sense of purpose or glory in that. Getting our asses to Mars I think is a great idea. I would…

This poor girl...but it's soo funny.

Yeah. This. Constantine's pissed at Keanu Reaves too.

There's also much tighter regulation of vehicles themselves. You won't see your typical rust belt shitbox barreling down the autobahn. For better or for worse, you gotta keep your car in good shape otherwise you can't drive it at all. That's why most poor folks don't have cars and take public transportation.

Great article. I would do the same. No way I would risk being branded as a nutcase and while I wouldn't get fired, you would lose quite a bit of goodwill and respect at work (at least in my profession). Basically, you would really need to be willing to risk your livelihood to tell the truth.

I second this. My DX is about on its last legs from use (cracked bezel, buttons a bit mushy). I really want a large screen e-ink version.

I think pay comes with responsibility. Typically, in lower wage jobs you are responsible for less. Walk in to work, go home after 8 hours and forget about work. Higher wage jobs you are accessible 24/7, have to travel and spend time away from family, are not only responsible for your own performance, but the…

No love for large screen e-ink users? I don't know if I can give up my expansive DX display. I'll have to see one.

There's really only a handful of apps that matter to me, and they're mostly there on WP7. Sometimes I miss things like Sonos and a few others, but the ones missing are usually the throwaway apps. The things that will matter to me are PureView (is it as awesome as they say), screen quality, and performance (loading…

I spend a lot of time in Germany, and one weekend I visited Dachau. I don't have any words to describe what I felt seeing the rows of barracks, and the gas chambers disguised as showers. To think that seemingly rational people, who probably lived lives very much like my many German friends, could be complicit...just…

I'd much rather be shot at close range with a 9mm than a freaking crossbow. Crossbows are deadly ass weapons, even at relatively long ranges. It's been quite some time since we've had a sniper run amok in this country, most killings are at pretty close range. You could argue it's the semi-automatic nature of the gun…

The Kotaku Fix plugin for Chrome reverts kinja back to the old, single column, expand replies format. Why not simply go back to that rather and use the algorithm to sort the order? If you have to "figure out" a commenting system, you're doing it wrong.

I see you're stress testing the commenting system. You could also throw in a few posts on abortion, Obama, and racism too.

Why do you think having a crossbow is OK but not a gun? Because guns go "boom"?

Huh? I never heard anybody claim we are not animals.

Totally agree...it's trying too hard. One column is simple and easy to read, having multiple columns makes for irritating zig-zag scanning left to right to left to right.

Don't want to read too much of this article in case I want to read the book. But I think the award to bleakness has to go to The Road, Cormac McCarthy.

The facebook app for WP7 is a disaster Zuck should be making facebook employees use that. Luckily, like you, I always use the People and Me tiles to manage that stuff. It works far better for basic tasks, but you do miss some functionality.
