@coolguyface: Hey, man had a long career. It was inevitable.

@Too.Tired.To.Sleep: Little Boy had a yield of 13-18 kt. [en.wikipedia.org]

@Too.Tired.To.Sleep: If by "nuclear weapons" you mean "threw a pound of reactor grade uranium into a pit with a tonne of conventional explosives, pressed the button, and then claimed it was a successful nuclear detonation because hey, look, seismic event and radiation cloud!", then yeah. That'd be the one.

@silver-bolt: Really, this is more like taunting that annoying weenie kid with the dental frame and a lisp who knocked over your bike so that the cool kids would pay attention to him.

@DasStan: Luckily its comparable to the kinetic-kill guided penetrators already in use. In fact, the entire system is really just one of those penetrators with the addition of a sturdy frame into which the "payload" can be strapped.

@AmishJohn: Well, technically it will be sonic, once he reaches his terminal velocity (aided through the use of lead weighting) of approximately Mach 1, at around 18,000 feet.

@tamoko: He doesn't notice that now.

God, the scenario laid out in that video is so absurd... its like Turkmenistan rising up and taking over the European Union.

@ThisDudeRufus: Man, those were THE thing for about a year of middle school.

@♠ Final ♠: Hey, the first one was ok. Cheesy, but decent action with a minimum of painful moments. I enjoyed it.

@PossibleCabbage: I tried to watch Transformers 3, but couldn't make it past the first 20 minutes. I think I might try taking your advice.

@3in1Doctor: I'm hoping that what he means by "dorky comedy" are things like the robot fart jokes.

@Kayonesoft: Anomaly detected!

Was I the only one who saw the first picture and immediately thought "orbital strike"?

You know, its a common misconception that the Davy Crockett and bat bomb projects were failures. In fact, they worked well enough, they were just rendered obsolete before they ever had the chance to really be used.

@GitEmSteveDave'sPhiltrum: Yep, and the system worked beautifully, because Japanese cities were made out of wood, with lots of dark corners that the bats loved to hide in, and the incendiaries used was actually the first form of napalm.

... hm. See, I thought that Princess and the Frog was good, and more or less a return to classic Disney style.

My question is how do you interact with it? Enter addresses and trigger reroutes and whatnot? Most GPSs these days are only usable through the virtue of having touch sensitive screens.

@SigmundTheSeaMonster: Retired to marry a senator, senator turned out to be a little too pervy, divorced the senator (including a nice big scandal on how pervy he was), and recently she seems to be un-retiring.

@-MasterDex-: I think this whole thing was written in a somewhat misleading way. This study establishes that gamers aren't athletes- which is fine, because "athlete" clearly implies physical activity. However, since competitive chess can be considered a sport, it is clear that pro-gaming can also be considered a…
