I suppose that depends on how awful of an idea you think ethanol is.

Fantastic. I love all the concept art that gets posted on io9 - i feel like Concept Artists on films and games don't get nearly enough credit, given how much of a film and game's eventual look and design comes down to their hard work and imagination.

Um...I just want to put this out there...EVERYONE is pretty enough to be a bitch! Bitch doesn't require pretty. You can be a bitch with make up or without. It works for me...I'm wearing sweat pants and yesterday's makeup all over my face and being a bitch right now!

I was always being teased for being ugly when I was a kid all the way through high school. Nobody ever took me seriously, I was a running joke as the most unattractive person in school. When I was around 17, I lost a load of weight (though I wasn't really that fat to begin with), my face changed, I grew into my looks…

Glasses make us superhuman: they let us see even when our eyes wear down. Some people say that this is against the will of God, but who cares. Actually, I think that our using technology to live better, much better, or radically better, IS the will of God.

Answer: All of it.

I have the ability to know what's happening on the other side of the planet instantaneously. I can actually watch it happen as it happens in some circumstances if I really want to. But more than that, I could, for a price, be anywhere on the planet within a matter of hours. Anywhere.

Clothing. The ability to perform the equivalent of millions of years of evolution whenever we feel like it with little to no effort completely changed the world. Humans live in a wider variety of environments than any other (multicellular) species.

The obvious one is the smartphone. Multiple modes of communication at long distances, a massive chunk of human knowledge at your fingertips, a pretty good attempt at omnipresence when you consider the ability to get up to the second data from a huge number of places and sources no matter where you are.

Well in my totally unprofessional opinion, my husband and I are switching from renting to buying and we realized that we would spend $10,000 dollars on rent if we stayed in our aparetment another year. A modest house around here goes for about $120,000. So one year of rent= a tenth of the mortgage for a house. We…

I see really strong boob-envy

Do you mean we should have helped with the electronics? Or maybe they should have helped us make better engines? Come on. It was a race. We did win getting man on the moon. And that, in turn, means they lost. This isn't third grade. We don't all get a prize.

Why anybody would go to any length to defend this pompous assclown is beyond me.

Spider Robinson's Callahan series.

Or at least global warming hypocrisy.

Tubes is a great book. It didn't explain as much about the underlying structure of the Internet as I had hoped, but it did explain a lot in a non technical way, and it described the travels of the author around the world to see major Internet exchanges, seeing submarine cable being laid down, etc. The mood of the…

Yes. The height of his intelligence. He was so dumb that he served as the leader of the free world for two terms. While you, his superior in every fashion I would imagine, are doing great so far with your two stars for this comment on a Gawker comment board.

I grew up learning how to change a car's oil and drive a manual transmission. In the states, people look at me like I'm some kind of super hero O_O

This is a Millenial thing. A crisis created by two or three decades of parental coddling and eschewing of personal responsibility. A "Home Ec" renewal will change nothing as Mommy will do their homework for them and Daddy will threaten to sue if "Little Snowflake" doesn't get an A.

I walk like this anyways. Not because I wanted to be an awesome ninja (sort of), but because we have animals and you never know what you're bound to step in. Tread lightly friends.
