@WaR_HaWk: OK, now you have about $1 trillion to go, plus a new war in the Middle East in 2030.

@Coreboy: Close your eyes and touch-type on the iPhone keyboard. I can do it with my physical keyboard phone quite easily. iPhone? Not so easy.

@Eternal: You'd think that the Kinect had some sort of

The fact that someone has quoted my grad school alma mater warms my heart. UMUC: not the greatest, but not the worst.

@kaffeen: G-d made us in His image. Ergo, we get to play G-d.

@DreamTheEndless: Sculley takes a lot of heat for firing Jobs, but if you read a history of Apple not written by apologist Guy Kawasaki, you can tell that he probably deserved it.

Well, good thing he has state-sponsored healthcare; the idiot isn't even wearing a helmet.

@Platypus Man: There was a court case that essentially ruled that "not for resale" had very little binding power if there was no compelling reason for not allowing reselling. So, selling an engineering sample, the company might have a case, but they can't just mark all of their product as not for resale and have it…

WTF? They're selling the WiFi version with a hotspot. How the hell is that AT&T exclusivity ending? It's like saying that selling an iPod Touch with a MiFi is an iPhone equivalent. It's not even remotely true, and YOU KNOW IT.

@JRock: RFF was a lot of fun until my farm died forever when all those stupid spirits died in the winter. They really have to revise that part of the game to be more forgiving and easy to manage.

@Chromeo's name has nothing to do with the band Chromeo: Pretty much sums it up for me, too, although I'm on contract until this time next year. Then again, maybe waiting wouldn't be so bad: I'd like to upgrade to LTE and keep the 32gb my Zune HD is providing me.

@jodaboda: It's faster and easier than setting up an ad-hoc network. Quite often, it _is_ a document or two that you need to transfer.

Bluetooth? Hello? Not great for HUGE files, but it's a lot faster and easier than trying to set up an ad-hoc WiFi network.

@Kajigger Me Timbers: Being a closet survivalist myself, I'm going to entirely disagree with you here. There's no "Martha Stewart" demographic for emergency preparedness supplies, and the hardcore survivalists know the truth: hunting will only get you so far, and it's not very far. This is _exactly_ the kind of stuff…

@Arggh! there goes a...snake a snake!: You'd be horrifically malnourished. Not even remotely comparable.

@BluegrassGeek: The demographic that bought up all the ammo was worried that Democrats controlling 2/3 of the government branches would take the opportunity to screw them. This was, thankfully, not the case, and ammo prices have been dropping for the past 18 months or so. (Also, it was all ammo - 9mm wasn't even so…

@Mike Zuniga is a Photographer Apparently: Of course not. Remember, when Europeans have scientifically-baseless fears, they're being cautious. When Americans do it, they're being ignorant.

Forgive me for asking, but what do they do with human waste? Do they have a system for getting that out, or is it just sitting there? It's a potentially serious health hazard.

@Steel Fox: Google for "selection bias", and apply your new-found knowledge to your comment. You remind me of all those folks who never seem to meet an intelligent person with a different political party affiliation.

@TempestXax: You know, many of us religious folks like science. Some of us are even, gasp, involved in it. Defaulting to "it must be a conspiracy against science by religion" is astonishingly naive. Religion is not just fundamentalist Christianity and Islam.
