Nice last name :) Yes, you're correct - Star Wars was his thing. Now it makes sense. Thanks for explaining.

I'm not familiar with the reference "Ronny".

I thought the three little dots on the side of the tank would be an LED flashlight in addition.

Isn't this a good time to try an implement some anti-missile tactics?

The same as the black guy on the white iPad, of course! (in the upper lefthand corner, that is)

Thanks!

Sorry, you're right.

It's intentional - I live in Israel, and as an observant Jew (or trying to be), chose a "kosher" ISP. Their entire clientele base wants the filter in place.

Thank YOU!

You kind of lost me with "life happens spontaneously". What happens spontaneously in our eyes can often be found to have some sort of order and reason when investigated.

Galaxies move. I wonder if it is possible that we could look so far away and see our own galaxy in its infancy where it was 13 billion years ago. I'm sure that would mean we didn't travel at the speed of light all that time, but rather in some Euclidean (where arcs, not lines, are the shortest path between two…

Someone tell me if I'm wrong. When RIM originally released the Playbook they billed it as a "professional tablet", whatever that means. My guess is that they intentionally went about this backwards. First, not believing it would really take off, and so limiting the R&D funding for it. Then releasing a product idea…
