This seems interesting, but I'm too stupid to read it.

Iowa Republicans have already basically said they'll just ignore him if he does well anyway. No cloak and dagger for that lot.

I agree, god particle is a terrible name. I don't see what's wrong with just calling it the higgs boson... Or, if we must rename the thing, H boson.

Dropping down, 17-30 feet underwater?

I can't be the only one who looks at this and thinks: Man, that is super impressive for a bunch of high school kids.

Not requiring human action to remain safe is not the same thing as having no human oversight.

Why? It's a nice place to hang out. Lots of raw materials, water ice and O2 when it has atmosphere. No noticeable life on the ground and the neighbors only send primitive satellites every few decades.

This post is post out an object near Mercury, not Keppler 22b. If I recall, Mercury's orbit is about as far from Earth's as Mars is, so it should be about the same length of time, actual locations in orbits notwithstanding.

Good luck enforcing that, though.

Actually, desecrating the dead is outlawed by the Geneva Convention.

I think it was trying to carry the crab from wherever it was to wherever it was going, if only because it really picked up speed after it let it go.

If this were an article on the front page of Yahoo or something similar, I would agree. There is clearly the assumption made that the reader has been following the Windows 8 coverage so far and knows what MSDN is.

See, that's what I was thinking. She didn't lay that out specifically in the video, but being that this is aimed entirely at devs and the like it seemed like a pretty easy conclusion to reach.

She said several times that it's an unattended answer file. Perhaps there would be a less obscure term for it, but she did explain that the installer used the information from it to answer the install questions. presumably allowing one to then just walk away while it does its thing.

That's what I thought, as well. Them or the Caitian.

Policies will be made and printed out, then hidden around the country. When a policy is the found by a mob it is to be destroyed and that policy will no longer be in effect. There will also be jackbooted thugs defending the areas the policies are in. Makes it more exciting.

When I'm old enough to run for president, it is absolutely going to be on a left-leaning islamofacomnarky platform.

I have never really followed his personal life/descent into madness, so I could see HT as a ridiculous take on everything he's done in the past. This makes it quite clear that's not what was going on.

So I'm starting to get this feeling that Holy Terror was a Mary Sue wish fulfillment story.

Price is certainly not irrelevant for manufactured goods. An iPad is cheap because it's mass produced and not that complex or durable. An aircraft is expensive because it goes through a decade of work before the first one produced, bespoke, for a customer and is expected to work for twenty or thirty years if…
