Maybe a subset of #5, but my Mercedes E350 stalk is ridiculously hidden behind the steering wheel. When you are in the driver's seat, in no way can you actually see the markings on the stalk. I've had the car 2.5 years, and to this day I don't know what's written on it, and fumble through random clicks to get it to do…

She got out, looked at the victim, and fucking paid for the meal?? People are lucky I'm not the despot in charge, there would be quite a few people signed up for my compulsory organ donation program.

I'll second.

Nothing like the sound of a rotary engine flying overhead. And I do like the startups, especially the R4360's.

That thing is priceless. Funny to listen to it driving, the downside is that the Merlin at idle is already too much power - it's sputtering down the street while the car is at speed.

Apparently that's where the tech part of Gawker is. Gawker is organized like a Colombian drug cartel, with shell companies all over the globe and of course includes the obligatory tax haven in the Caribbean .

Why aren't you guys at Barrett Jackson? They sold one for $1.1M, so there must be a few more there.

If it was required that there were two unions, I'd be more sympathetic to them. Unions as they stand are a monopoly on labor in the industries where they operate - a cartel that really doesn't do too much other than shovel money to campaign coffers. Split up the UAW so they have to compete both for workers and for…

More private firms are now hiring anthropology majors for work in marketing, human factors, etc. Maybe you wouldn't spend your life chasing grants for obscure research, but certainly there is need for that kind of expertise on a commercial level.

I'm not saying I think adopting Sharia Law is good, as I personally believe religious freedom is paramount and civilization benefits from the different cultures. Study after study has shown religious people donate more of their time, are more charitable, and in general engage in more community service than…

"I would rather live under a secular government than any other." I agree, because there is not "one true religion". But that doesn't mean religion is bad for society. It's been proven in study after study, that religious people are more charitable, donate more of their time, and in general help each other out more…

If you go back and read, I did not say that atheists cannot have a basic respect for human life. What I said was, that if you have no grounding principles that enshrine the basic value of an individual, then it's much easier to take decisions that murder millions. Most religions do value the individual in their dogma,…

You missed the point entirely.

Most atheists bang on about how religion is bad, should be eradicated, etc. But the fact is, the most murderous regimes of the last 500 years were those with institutionalized atheism - Pol Pot, Chairman Mao, Stalin, etc. It's undeniable that religious groups were persecuted and executed routinely in these regimes…

I often wonder what's going on here. We didn't have this problem 50 years ago. What better way to destablize American society than to make us all fear for our lives in public places and turn us against each other. If I were an evil-genius dictator of Iranistaniban, I would be pouring money into research into behavior…

Invariably, the shooter is some disaffected goth-type who has some kind of grudge against humanity. A better first step would be to take a serious look at the goth subculture and why it seems to attract these very troubled kids. Start doing some research to identify if there are any heritable traits or physiological…

I scanned the comments for witty banter about devolving into early hominids and amorphic blobs. Nothin.

"We are very careful about where we invest" BWAHAHAHAHAHAHOHOHHOHAHAHO!!!! Just thinking of all the useless crap that google has developed makes this Google's most ridiculous statement ever. Buzz, Wave, Google+, etc. Not to mention all the acquisitions that went south.

I went from a Droid 2 global to an HTC 8X, and would never go back to Android. The only thing that sucks though is maps and the lack of turn-by-turn. If you rely on turn-by-turn then you may want to consider that it may be a few more months before the built in turn by turn navigation feature makes its way to wp8 (wp7…

I'm not so sure about the 15 minute interval though - gmail uses activesync which is licensed by Google from Microsoft so i think it still does push immediately.
