since it's from biofuel, it's carbon nuetral.

Ah, so we agree. I misunderstood your point. If only inflection could be written...

So you picked three cars that adhere to a common design language — which is also functionally relevant to how they perform — and decide this applies to all cars made recently?

Wait. People are still claiming we never went there? This is still a thing?

In these cases, they are on a star, so more than likely plasma.

Ah, true. Tho your comment seemed to disparage NASA's PR Dept., not io9, hence my comment.

I guess I can't breathe without carbon either then.

They credit the USGS. Prominently, actually.

Right. Which is why I said "in this context". Hydrogen quickly floats upwards, especially when on fire, and anything that presents an ignition risk he might encounter out there (lightning? Aliens? Ghostships?) isn't likely going to be well mediated by having chosen helium instead.

Why don't these people use Hydrogen!? In this context, it's just as safe as Helium.

At least the Simpsons haven't, yet.

So I can buy an iPad mini, and all I have to do is get closer to it and it turns into a full sized iPad screen!? What a bargain!

Why's it deceptive? You're the one that's interpreting the fact that they gave an existing storage strategy a marketable name and are now somehow implying that similar things are unavailable elsewhere, or that they invented it.

Well, judging from how "prevalent" this problem has been made out to be, one would assume that it happens on just about any bright light source. I mean, if it's an occasional issue that happens under very specific circumstances, it starts to sound more like a non-issue. Every camera can have sub-optimal performance…

Strange. I can't get my iPhone 5 to produce any appreciable purple flare. Direct shots or with the sun peeking in, they are all fine. I wonder if it's only an issue with some production runs.

Why would they fake this? I mean, there's no Red Menace to one-up, and its not like there's much political benefit to spending $2b on a geology mission. Only for the purely scientific gains does this mission make sense, and therefore only in real life.

Yep. They especially hate free people.

I'm not going to let my world-view be dictated by facts. His comment felt thruthy, so I'm going with the Israel vs Pakistan throwdown.

Well it isn't from Australia. That's the fountain in front of the 5th Ave. Apple store in Manhattan. Probably from The First iPhone Line.

Yes.
