You can clearly hear the pilot desperately ripping the collective handle out of the cockpit at ~:20, but a) his altitude above ground level was just too low, and b) his altitude above sea level was way too high. There just wasn't enough air to grab. I bet at sea level that maneuver probably would have been successful.

A lot of places nationwide disallow firearms - it's just that in Texas, you actually have to specify such things. In the rest of the country it's generally not worth mentioning.

That sounds really, really awesome...

Great success!

Shenanigans!?

Apple's response: "The problem is that you're holding it with your stupid heat-generating hands. Stop holding it with your hands and the problem will go away."

Asking for their accounting records works equally as well.

My other thought is - if they ask for your facebook password, you ask them for their board meeting minutes. If they say that that's confidential (and they will), ask them why they can look at your dirty laundry if you can't look at theirs.

Step 1: Give them your password

You might be the first person in the history of the state of Illinois to call it a "reasonable" state.

The two are not similar at all. Drug tests do not tell employers how you think, what you like, what you dislike, how you act, or what kind of person you are. They only tell employers whether you do, or do not, take drugs. The more apt physical analogue would be almost a mind meld. One doesn't exist, but this is the…

I have actually destroyed printers with crowbars, Gordon Freeman-style. It was AWESOME. I still have fond memories watching little printer pieces flying through the air, screaming in agony (they weren't screaming, but I imagined they were).

As a counterpoint, I'll simply state that the most publicized crashes of the MV-22 were a result of people thinking of it too much as a fixed-wing aircraft, and not enough as a helicopter. Google "Vortex Ring state" and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Well unlike the last article on guns that got me banned for a week, I'll just say this:

A few things:

Really, it's more proof that great pictures lie not in the equipment, but in the photographer.

Well, 'hacking', by definition, is modifying a piece of hardware or an object to perform a function other than its intended purpose, or act in a way other than what it was designed to do. Since this lens was obviously not designed to be mounted on a 5DMKII, I'd say this qualifies as 'hacking'.

If I had a dollar for every time I got destarred for calling a stupid story stupid, well... I'd have three dollars.

Or Weimaraners in Wisconsin. WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLE!

You know what this is going to work really well for? Electronic Viewfinders (EVFs). This may very well be the death knell of the DSLR, as the best argument against any alternative has been that current displays just cannot be accurate (and dense) enough to compare to the optical viewfinder in DSLRs. If they can put…
