This. I can get the (juvenile) logic of hitting corporate sites sometimes, as a form of economic terrorism - like defacing a storefront. But some government bureaucracy website? All you're doing is giving some network monkeys somewhere some overtime. Doubt they're even employed by the CIA, more likely GSA (Caveat, I…

Can't we mean both? The sear is good all around.

In my AOL support days (eons ago) the favorite was a keyboard actuator error.

That's simple and brilliant. Someone needs to implement this feature.

Replying to approve. Good idea.

..Comment fail? Sorry if this winds up being a double post.

Thanks, that was it - a little Google and I get agenothree as the in-universe pronunciation of it. They used it in the groundcrews to spray down thread.

Someone want to help me out? What was the phonetically spelled chemical compound? It's ringing some bells but I can't recall, been years since my last Pern read.

That video is his testimony that saved CPB/PBS - Congress wanted to cut funding, they wound up with $20 million instead. Heard about it lots, that's the first time I watched it - thanks. Can't seem to find the VCR testimony, unfortunately.

We've been fortunate not to have to deal with the child care issue, though you could have done what we do when traveling - use a few disposables. We're still saving a vast amount of money (and landfill waste) by using cloth while at home and traveling around town, and we fallback on disposables when we're away…

Can't wait for them to get the original Transformer updated. Got ICS running on my Vibrant and it's incredible - fastest, most stable ROM I've seen on it.

My point with the quality is that they'll reduce quality to keep the stream closer to realtime - if they pushed high quality video at all times you would wind introducing additional lag beyond the round-trip time. Obviously you can't get in-game(or app) latency lower than the round trip time, so that may cause trouble…

That's something I could get behind. I'm impressed by Onlive so far, but avoiding it because I tend to like the mods side of PC gaming - hacking up textures, trying custom variants, etc. But when I've got the income I could see spending a bit more cash to get Onlive editions of games for portable gaming. If they were…

Have you tried the Onlive gaming service? There isn't 100-200ms of lag. In my experience, more like 5-10ms tops. They degrade stream quality to keep speed up, so it does look a bit compressed at times, but never terribly so. Should be even better with desktop apps - the larger areas of uniform color should compress…

I really expected to see this one make the list, since io9 generally seems to share my perfectly normal and acceptable fanaticism for all things Farscape. :)

I had a MicroSD reader that wasn't much larger than this. Hung it on my keychain with a 4GB card for a few years, but my keys eventually killed it. If they're affordable enough, this might be a good replacement.

That was my thought on the headline, but after reading the article I think the goal is to list the items you already have sitting around unread/played/etc to deter additional purchases in that category - not of exactly the same item.

And this is one of those rare times I wish I used a standalone GPS. Google needs to get in on the voice-pack act with Google Navigation.

@AJ Those aren't recent events. This is news (or a tech blog, depending on who you ask) - they're covering current events.

FSU? They've been dumping some money in lately - new science building a few years back, just rebuilt Lane Center. I haven't attended in years though, can't speak for whether the money is actually helping any though.
