Gizmodo got bought by Oracle?

What's up with the three-pronged opening on the end?

A few points:

Shoot, I was trying to look up this very plant the other day, but now I don't remember why. I guess if I ever do I'll know where to look...

I think the boosters are assembled upright.

Being picked up by a crane is probably a lot gentler on it than when it picks itself up with, you know, rockets.

I did the brakes (sort of, I think it actually needs a new master cylinder) on my '67 bug. I figured that that was a safe thing to do, since it isn't actually running currently...

I'm sad that the BeBook isn't a BeOS-specific laptop...

In addition to 320 CDs, it could have stored the image that I tried, but apparently failed, to link to. Hmph.

You know what else can store 320 CDs? A 30 Gb hard disk that costs < $20.

Oh. Well, how about that.

That's what I thought the "rowr" was on first glance... Anyway, here it is now.

I'd be happy with the trains they have now if they could actually make it a little farther down the peninsula. I don't see why caltrain and bart have to be separate systems...

Blah, only had to scroll down to the third comment to see that someone had already said what I was going to...

Pretty much what I was going to say. This was seriously disappointing.

At least you didn't put a picture of Goose...

His problem was that the air inside his helmet was on fire, not the air inside the canopy...

It probably can be operated without them in some situations, but when lifting enough weight (as in the picture) it does need them.

The stupidest one I know of (the optimius prime t-shirt debacle) wasn't the TSA (since it was in England), but still worth mentioning. [news.bbc.co.uk]

Could someone tell me why top gear and (based on the loop-the-loop video) always have such pronounced vignetting?
