I kind of like that he's willing to directly ask the public what they think instead of hiding behind a poll source. Although the fact that he has to ask at all is kind of lame. The whole point to electing people is that you're (theoretically) picking someone smart enough to make a decision, not someone who's going to…

I pity whoever or whatever has to tally these, although given the formatting differences per post, it'll probably require human intervention. There are over 1400 comments on that thread so far.

I have no children. I shall likely never have children. But damn, do I ever wish some of the parents out there would whup their kid's ass something fierce when their kids act like feral monsters, screaming, shouting, demanding candy and soda and toys, behaving badly towards the elderly...

Superman is holding a gun? Say it ain't so!

It's all about size, for once; you're talking about a computer looking at thousands of numbers expecting a certain statistical probability. When people fake numbers they tend to use certain numbers more often than others; it's one wat to detect fraud. But if you use numbers in order, while a person might look and go…

One of the base concepts that security came up with a long time ago is multi-factor authentication, where it takes more than one thing to get you access. That way, it's not just someone with the right passcode who can access the vault room (or your accounts), it has to be someone with the right login and password. Or…

I love that she recognizes that everything needs an *ending*. That alone makes her better than half the other writers out there.

Nothing says you can't shower in the morning as well! Also, shower at night? Sheets stay clean longer. In theory.

1) The photo is awesome.

Cthulhuman.

It's totally photoshopped. You can tell by the pixels in the lower center section.

Cool. I still want one (rather desperately), but it'll end up being a wishlist item for now.

Having lived in the UK, may I say they desperately needed someone like Jamie Oliver to introduce fresh food to the menu. Desperately. In many places, they still don't have the message completely straight. (The North, I'm looking at you.)

Ooooh, I forgot about the roomba! I was gonna get one of those when we moved back to the US. But we bought a dyson. How well does a roomba work?

Shadow might be the perfect role for Keanu Reeves. He barely has a facial expression and seems half-dead, but he's scrummy to look at.

It's not like you notice your heartbeat when it's normal anyways; you'd get used to it. I am interested in how the artificial heart would respond to stress-based stimuli, as sephycloneno15 mentions below.

technological telepathy. It'll happen for us all when we jack our brains directly into the internet.

When you can see red on an animal, removing the modern tendency towards dyes and color tinting, it used to mean bad things like injury and bleeding. The red stuff was supposed to stay *inside*. When it's outside, it's s signal something might not be all right - people and animals who are injured and bleeding behave…
