I'm sure there's a bacon vs tofu fanboyism, but I don't want to think about it. The horror, the horror...

Let's hope it's not entering earth, but only earth's atmosphere.

"stygian depths of madness and vivisection": and there goes my sleep tonight.

Probably somebody recklessly drilling around in the Indian Ocean...

The young whippersnappers will be content doing virtual things: communicating with virtual friends, immersing themselves in virtual gaming worlds, making in-app purchases of virtual goods. No need to do real stuff any mo'.

It's amazing how there's a totally different concept of 'copyright', or maybe I should say an absence of that concept. I have Chinese students who run don't-ask-me-how-they-got-it versions of Windows 7; when I tell them that I would like them to put legit versions (which can get security patches) on their machines,…

Seconded - it's absolutely fat-free, low-carb, zero-calories. WTF?

Once he's walked the 150 km straight-as-a-rod bit of the road across the Nullarbor plain, he'll sure see droids!

Fly ash - wow, you seem to have some masonry/bricklayer's experience!

oh noes - these would render my glass-marble trebuchet useless!

Shhh, don't try to rationalize - just look and see.

Well, there's twittering going on in Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez - what can they be possibly be talking 'bout??

Interesting write-up, with a viewpoint that differs from most what has been thrown out about Lion so far!

But then you can elegantly dispose of the needles in those syringe-containers you find in certain locations. Now how does THAT make you feel?

... not only for new drivers, I'd argue: anyone who's doing two or three things at a time, doesn't do them as good as when doing only one thing, period. Experience can only partially compensate for that.

...except there are handy bolt-cutters available that fit nicely in a small backpack, and which eat these cables for breakfast.
