@WestwoodDenizen: Good beer is delicious. Close your eyes and imagine, if you will, a world in which different people have different tastes.

@coldfuzion: That's a good point. I guess I was responding more to the other commenters than to the article. I wouldn't agree, personally, that cans are superior (unless you're carrying a pack of them around), but I'll happily argue with anyone who says good beer doesn't come in cans at all.

@Mark 2000: Dr. Brown's and Izze come in cans, Miller Lite and PBR come in bottles. As you implied, it's all in your head. The whole debate's not even worth caring about for most people, but any serious beer lover who refuses to drink from a can is missing out.

Living in Colorado, I thought everybody was used to the idea of great beer coming in cans by now. But I see from the comments that most of the rest of the country has not caught up to our* awesome beer technology. "Good beer in cans? I-I-Inconceivable! I had a Bud Light once in high school, Q.E.D."

@victoriasauce: I was raised to be deeply and proudly Southern (I got better), but it wasn't until I moved to Philadelphia as a young lad that I was taught by the other kids at school that Hispanic people weren't white.

@Methusalah: lala was so good.

Apple, thanks so much for arbitrarily buying and shutting down lala.com. I was spending far too much time and money on it, so I'm glad to see you apparently aren't even using their i.p. for anything. I'd hate to have a reason to switch back to iTunes, as it's relatively bloated and too resource-heavy for my old PC. …

@djscruffy: You should give it a chance; Carrey totally pulls it off. It was actually Kate Winslet who I thought wasn't that great, but she didn't ruin the movie or anything.

I loved this list, and I never love this kind of list! I have two very minor objections that aren't even really about the list itself.

@matt_mcmhn: I doubt he's making payments to Bugatti.

My answer is useless for this article's purposes: neither! I'll admit I've never used an iPad, but I just don't seem to need anything between a smartphone and a full-strength laptop. Maybe if I had some extra cash burning a hole in my pocket I'd feel differently, but I'm just not in the market for expensive toys…

Absolutely one of my favorite anime movies. Gorgeous, weird, and touching.

@johnnyabnormal: That's a fine point, but on the other hand, go team Les! Woooo!

@Tycho Vhargon: Don't you have a "productainment" folder? Huh.

@Denver: I always figured 720 was older. I only know two or three CO natives, and out of all my friends and family who live here I don't know anybody who's ever had a 720 area code. Is it like... Commerce City or something?

Woah, PZ Myers is pissed. He's right, but he needs to work on his delivery.

@Mount_Prion: Well I didn't ask the producer, so I certainly could be wrong about how they did it, but even an old FFT algorithm could do 30% easily. Maybe you're thinking 300%?

@Mount_Prion: It's a technique called granular synthesis. A sound is broken down into tiny segments (grains) and rearranged. In this case, the individual grains were spaced out or repeated, or probably both, which produces a time-stretch effect without changing pitch.

@einsteinsquandry: He punched it. He freaking punched the laser to hell.
