Surely you're kidding. :) Maybe some people around here fit that generalization, but I was more than happy with my OG Palm Pilot, which I then upgraded to a slide-out Palm Tungsten when I was ready to splurge a couple hundred bucks on a better, color screen. I even got the Wi-Fi card to slap into the top of it so I…

"In other words, the ADS may be capable of some pretty abhorrent things if put in the wrong hands."

Read the privacy policy of the app. It shares your phone usage info and how this usage changes information with the app developer. This is onerous enough even for a free app, let alone an app that asks you to pay $3.99.

Now to take it to the next level. Cook up some ham and cube. Chop up some bell peppers. Now mix these in with your eggs. Poor the mix into plastic baggies and freeze. Now you can take this on a backpacking trip and it will hold for a few days. When you go to cook just boil water and put the entire bag in. Pull…

I missed the part where they were forced against their wills to become cheerleaders for this team in the first place....

Actually this is a terrific example to support my opinion. If my power goes out, I only pay for the electricity that I used. If there's no power, then I don't pay. Likewise, if there's no service from my waiter, they don't get a tip.

If my work quality sucked bad enough, I'd expect to get fired. And then I certainly wouldn't get paid.

Nope. It's always fine not to tip someone. Your pay isn't my problem, nor is your conscious decision to opt for a lower-paying job packaging to-go orders instead of waiting on tables. Don't like the result of your decision? Change it.

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

If the service sucks, why in the Holy Hell would I still tip 15% to my waiter?!?!

It doesn't obligate us to do anything. The point is that we did not go in unilaterally and commandeer this vessel. A nation we are friendly with asked for our assistance and we gave it.

I think piracy is a concern of everyone, considering our world economy.

We are the world police.

He's a pompous, disrespectful blowhard who countenances spying and bullies guests. She a racist shit-stirrer who thinks she's advancing feminism by trolling and throwing other women she doesn't like under the bus, and then asking for dudebro points for being so "edgy" and "an equal opportunity offender". So I come…

Not at all. While your response is exaggerated, it could be applied to any sport. Good lighting will make any photo look better. Good shoes will make a person run faster. A good coach will make a fighter have better technique. But a good set of lenses does nothing to help a bad photographer with bad lighting.

After taking some pics of my 2 yr old cousin she touched one of these lamps and burned her finger. 10 minutes after turning the light off. Sadness.

Not trying to push these or anything, but if you're going to spend $15-$30 (or more) on lights, you can get a pair of 6500k lights, reflective umbrellas, stands, and a backdrop stand for just over twice that amount through Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00… The stands are all 'cheep' in that you will want…

Since it came out. I pretty much thought the real malware was IOS7 itself.

In my career in ion channel function research, I'm rarely surprised when I find that a polycyclic hydrocarbon blocks a channel at high enough concentrations, though the 0.520 micromolar they cite for significant effects isn't necessarily what I'd call 'high' for some pharmacologic effects. If that's the low end of the…

After watching holmes on homes, I'd blame the homeowner, as if you don't do proper research into the company you're hiring, ESPECIALLY if you're the government and cause people to die, it's your fucking fault.
