This is the internet. You're not supposed to agree with me.

Yes, that's bad, not denying it. But "danger of radiation" versus "over 2000 horrible deaths by chemical exposure"? If you happened to be on scene looking at the stacks of bodies I'm sure you'd rate Bhopal worse.

To further reinforce the point, how is Fukushima worse than Banqiao, or even Deepwater Horizon and Bhopal? Exactly one person was killed in the initial explosion in Fukushima, and not a single death from radiation. Yes, it's a clean up mess and very very bad situation, but I would much rather have lived through that…

Well, the problem in California is not the funds or getting Californians to like the idea, it is that the vested interests that have been involved in the high speed rail project over the past years will assassinate it. I'm sure there's untold thousands of lobbyists, unions, promised votes in the legislature for…

Certainly I wouldn't be offended if Asians came up with funny meanings in Mandarin for English names. I'd just laugh.

People are throwing around the term "racism" as an all encompassing epithet these days. I would consider racism to be the belief that a certain group of people are inferior or different because of their racial and genetic makeup. It has nothing to do with wealth, cultural stereotypes, etc. Real racism, like the hood…

I went back. Or more accurately, I have a MBA which I gave to my 8 year old daughter. The mac hardware is great, but for serious work, Windows 7 is just more efficient for me. It's rock solid, aero snap is better than expose for window management, and when will Apple drop the "menu at the top of the main screen"…

Seems like a turbine could be a option for electric cars as a backup electric generator rather than use all the complexity of a hybrid. I'm sure somebody looked at it though, probably some reason that it hasn't been adopted.

He probably remembers seeing The Mask. She was an absolute bombshell in that movie.

Truth.

I'd like to know how they achieve TV watching, particularly premium cable. If it's just basic cable, then why bother. Also, what about DVR?

I have a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, a few windows workstations and win7 Laptops Including a surface. i also use ios routinely with my ipads and use wp8 for a phone. I'll have to say if I had to use just one it would be windows. The whole "Mac just works" thing is a myth, I have more issues keeping my MacBooks running…

I was a few heartbeats away from clicking "buy" on the Tesla website yesterday, and am genuinely in the market for one once my lease runs out on my current vehicle. The Panamera did get me thinking, although really guys I don't think they are the same price point. A maxed out Model S (not the performance version) is…

I'd vote for malaise-era American car, so everybody can understand how the American auto industry almost commit suicide.

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 .
