The US Air Force makes you wear the most god-awful belts around your uniform any time after dark on base. The idea is that they make sure you don't get hit by a car. It's turned into the symbol of a coddling military, and they're stupid as fuck to boot. Also, command acts like if you have a reflective belt on, your…

Reflective belts. The end all be all of Air Force Safety. Except when enemy snipers set outside your base and wait for you to take morning runs.

I'm fairly certain that the laws being passed are specifically designed to not allow an interviewer to require you to sign in to your Social Media accounts during the interview process. Not only do you not have to give them your password, but you don't have to get on to it at all. It is still legal for them to see the…

I don't see how this would be useful as a replacement for a TV. Combining the price of this and the iPad, and you could by a solid 42"

Promoted for the video/name combination.

#COTD contender right here.

Solid representation of the Russian Government as well...

Is it bad if I know exactly where this image is from?

Well, the argument is that the big sport college athletes have an issue of massive amounts of money being generated around their sports, while some of their families are barely scrapping by waiting for their child to be allowed to move on to the professional leagues to help carry them out. The issue comes when these…

The hard points are not permanent. The F-35 will not have outside weaponry on it when stealth is desired, and will have a full load-out after initial aggression or in areas where there is no need for stealth. Then bomb the shit out of said areas.

Or someone who doesn't speak English as a first language, either using Google Translate or only has rudimentary english skills.

My greatest fear as well. A tear will be had if I ever have to leave Snow Leopard.

Starcraft reference. Awesome.

I think he meant that he should get a MedicAlert bracelet for the situation mentioned in the article, so that the MRI technicians would know not to put him in. Not that the MedicAlert bracelet would go unnoticed.

'MURICA! We're so awesome, even we didn't know how badass our laser would be. Only third-world countries use lasers under 2 Megajoules, like those wussy French.

I was amazed the other day when my mother, who I usually consider an extremely smart person, argued how a plane would go down if I left my phone on (following a news story about this). I looked at her, and simply said, "If that were true, don't you think that terrorists would just make a phone call halfway through…

Usually a company buying back its own stock that is in Apple's position is an indicator that they expect to do well into the future, and want to control their market share. Since investors see a company feeling confident in themselves, they feel secure in paying down more into the company.

No, that was Steve Jobs. Apple the company just wants you to shut up and give them your money.

They just buy the person in that system. Hell, they buy the whole department. It's still cheaper than 35% taxes on 13B. And this is coming from a Libertarian that votes Republican when there isn't a viable option.

Please don't mention #whitenoise. Every time I see or think of it, I start to cry for the glory days. Now Giz doesn't include any easy link to it, and it's basically a place for those in the know from years ago.
