Well, he attached a GPS tracker, so as not to lose it. Sure, the tracker could have been damaged or failed, but it didn't. Also, he's in the UK, which is significantly less litigious that the USA, so the whole liability thing - not so much a deal as you might think. The other question to consider is the ratio of…

Every one in New Zealand knows Colin McKenzie was the first to add color and sound to film. If only he hadn't run out of egg whites and those topless island girls had stayed out of his shots...

If you are pronouncing it "oldie", then I believe the answer would be yes. My english teacher insisted that "Ye Olde" is pronounced as "The Old"

We may all be disappointed - he could be talking about **inner** space - what did he REALLY see down there?

Mr Sun!

Exactly. If another aircraft/speck/light is stationary relative to you, and stays in a consistent position when you move your head (i.e. it's not dirt on the windscreen, and yes, just like Venus) then you are on a collision course and have an obligation to take appropriate action. At night, that can be scary shit, and…

If you ask any pre digital press photographer, you will learn that when photographed on black and white film, the color red appears as "almost blacker than black" black. And icebergs are typically light blues and whites in colour. So the very dark patches on the left hand side iceberg in the top picture could in fact…

That's got to be the easiest cross-eye stereogram I've ever seen! Normally I have to work to get it, but this just leaps off the page #nopunintended with hardly any effort. Fun to move your while viewing it too... Would love to know what makes this one so much easier than others.

Overall, I thought it was a very good adaptation and mostly loyal to the book. But the biggest "huh?" moments for me were early on - her precious bow was just stored in a hole with no protection and already strung? And then Gale scares off the deer. He. Scares. Off. A. Deer!! He's lucky he didn't get a arrow induced…

Let people know that they will be held legally liable for any accident, or for preventing authorities from reacting to an accident in a timely manner as a result of their use of these devices. 406 beacons, satellite tracking companies, etc all now place a significant reliance on GPS availability to reduce search and…

Good news everyone! They're putting an AppStore on the Moon!

..and for a teacher, an unfounded accusation is often enough to end a career. The fact that this teacher was cool enough to read them Enders Game, makes that possibility very sad indeed.

Replying to promote. Think you nailed it.

Dollars to doughnuts, this is what happened. "Dude, you won't believe what I saw on the internet last night - he was like uuh uh and she was like oh yeah, and then it was like, all over, I mean really all over her, and - OH SHIT, MOM!!! "

@Lawrence Paul Cockrill: You, Sir, get a heart.

I'm with this guy.

You don't. We're like herpes.

"The home is the new phone booth." Yeah, and it comes with a phone already installed! Get rid of those mobile phones, their convenience and usefulness is no excuse for you to go imposing your lack of simple common courtesy on others whose sense of indignant outrage is far more important than yours... wait, I've just…

How do you get rid of all the rats on the island? Easy. You call in the Kiwis.

That. Is. So. Cool.
