Crumbs don't get in the stove, especially if you don't let it char

People don't do this? I was under the impression this is just how it was done.

You found the most relevant point! Congratulations! Now go away.

Being like Hemingway would be great!

You're the AT&T of people

If we did't have that notice, couldn't we use a similar strategy to slow it down? Not only would that give us more time to work, allow us more time to just move out of its way (so it intersects our orbit but not our planet) and, if that still didn't work, at least lessen the lethal effects of it? At least, in my head…

I'm not sure if it would work, but damn it they should try

See, this is why I love it when tech guys get megarich. Then you've got geeks like Sergey and Larry sitting on a big pile of money and just waiting to throw it at asteroids, or computers you wear on your face because they are first and foremost GEEKS who love that stuff as much as we do. And Cameron- with his trench…

Gizmodo readers only comment to offer anecdotal evidence that the author is wrong.

I still don't see the problem with nuclear energy. Chernobyl was decades ago, and even then the technology was laughably behind the times.

It's not net calories; just the ones you expend. That's an issue with Calories In, Calories Out plans.

Just read Snow Crash, working through Reamde right now, I have to say I'm a bit in love with Neal Stephenson

Double it for student accounts and I am sold.

Oh cool, it's good for you!

I think there might have been something in the book about how magic interferes with electricity, but there's a whole realm of steampunk and more antiquated technologies that could have been adapted for wizards. And they can use cars and radios, so obviously something is up.

I actually had the same concern about Harry Potter. Muggles were treated- even by wizards defending them- as some sort of primitive species.

I love this comment

The only parts that could even- in the most ludicrously twisted, perverse and weird minds- fit this description is when Ender is walking through the Salamander barracks for the first time, or the when he first meets Rose the Nose in Rat army. Both of these combine make up less than a standard page, and the word…
