if that really is the robots' best solution to finding power in a sun-less earth then I don't think we need to worry about them being able to outsmart us in a revolution.

I did it in LA which is a pretty big community, it took 4 months and 13 days from the notice of application acceptance and the oath ceremony. This seems pretty standard for most people, quicker if you live in a smaller town (I heard NYC is more like 6+ months). The cost was 680 dollars to apply and various other…

Please understand the difference between the common word "theory" (which you can apply to the astronaut theory if you want) and the scientific word THEORY applied to the big bang, evolution, etc. it is NOT SIMPLY an unprovable guess. [en.wikipedia.org]

I've been so tired this week, but for (more than) two very important reasons:

But the guy DOES claim it's aliens, right? Cause it's only slander/defamation/libel if he actually said "it's NOT aliens" (oh, and it also had to have caused him actual quantifiable physical, mental, or financial harm, and that the comment was meant to be taken as simply fact as opposed to opinion or satire... sorry…

Not that the video is real, but a wider range of motion would actually lend itself to fewer repetitive stress injuries.

So you're saying that Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa because a semi-decent looking girl turned him down for a date?

Batman Brave and the Bold will endear me to DC's animated offerings (plus their movies) for years to come. Just an absolutely amazing show on all levels, and really groundbreaking. If you told me to pick either B:BatB or Nolan's series to preserve forever, I'll gladly still pick the Bold.

It's endlessly interesting to me that while Marvel seems to have the edge when it comes to the live action movies (DC only really having one standout franchise), DC just consistently blows Marvel's TV animated offerings out of the water. Even Marvel's better series like X-Men, Spectacular Spider Man, and Avengers (the…

So what phone that was around at the same time as the original iphone did you think was as good or better than the original iPhone, but as you say failed in comparison because it wasn't as well marketed?

Just to play devil's advocate heroin addicts say the same thing.

Clearly your bias is against tablets in general, because I don't know if you can claim any tablet on the market now can come anywhere near your standards if the new iPad doesn't do it, and they're all at the same price point, and in some ways even more expensive (except the Kindle).

The moon's mass is 1/80th of earth... yeah, that's more than one order of magnitude, but less than two.

That's what I always thought.

Except the UN has no actual jurisdiction in the world, it's more like an honor system between nations.

I don't think Spartacus counts as a fantasy or sci-fi show, historical accuracy be damned. I don't recall any actual articles on io9 about the show other than one SPONSORED post that was an interview with the showrunner?

Basically as his character was in the Ultimates, where he just walks in and gets shit done, but I think they can push it even further.

I'm beginning to think it would've almost been better for them to have positioned Hawkeye as a super enigmatic guy that barely speaks, has an omnipresent scowl, does his own thing, and always shows up at the last second to save the day (like, say, when a skrull's about to put the beatdown on Cap, or after a rampaging…

you can't, the sun and earth would be invisible if put in the same plane as that image.

This is certainly true but there's still plenty of ground for Apple to grow on:
