Exactly, and if we're talking about saving money, it's not exactly thrifty to be frying components, some of which are actually expensive (unlike jumper wires, which are dirt cheap).

Why they're so stupid? It could be because very nearly everyone on the internet has used YouTube (as opposed to less-known video sites if we're just talking about video), so the cross-section of commenters includes a lot more variety. Also, YouTube's comment system has very little filtering. I think it could be a lot…

The launch of the 4 was also when they started offering reservations in-store for those who wanted to wait in line. So, no more getting in line not knowing if you were getting one (if one were crazy enough to wait in line, that is).

I already cancelled Hulu Plus a while ago, because I found that it just wasn't getting any use. After I moved years ago and chose not to keep cable, I just simply watch less TV. We have a Netflix subscription which is nice for old TNG episodes over lunch, or the occasional movie/tv show in the evening, but What all…

Lol, touche. Where my sister lives in Jamaica does kind of feel "out there" .

No thanks, I'll pass. Also, only someone from New York would refer to the entirety of the rest of the world as "The Sticks"

"What do you mean I can't have a solid gold 747? Do you know how rich I am?"

Bluto!

Especially in a place like Dubai where they aren't exactly running out of land.

Let me propose a solution. Perhaps you could implement a system in the comments where anonymous commenters must be vetted prior to posting. Let's call them "unapproved" commenters. Perhaps you could even color-code them a pink-ish color to indicate that. Heck, you could even have a system to reward consistently good…

Except there's a difference between those things and anonymous comments on a blog.

Behold, ye olde usable Gizmodo:

Yes, it is pretty difficult especially in the dark. Maybe the new connector will help.

Not in most cities in the US, not anymore anyway. Smoking indoors has been all but abolished.

First for me was the AT&T PC 6300, with a built-in hard drive (fancy!), AutoCAD 1.0 and an old DOS game called Jet. I think I also got MS Flight Simulator when that came out. Mind you, this was back when all the "good" games were on the Apple II because PCs were for doing work.

But you can see why it has a stigma, right? I mean, yeah the small doses aren't much to worry about, unless you asthma or something, but there are also emission laws for cars and trucks to limit the exposure to those pollutants.

They have those electronic cigarettes, have you tried them? A couple of smokers I know switched to those, and they are much less offensive to other people than regular cigarettes.

Yes. That sounds like a good system. I would take it a step further and say that it might be ok even to have smoking allowed inside, as long as the smoking section was ventilated properly. I don't think its impossible to have two sections of the same building be totally segregated in terms of airflow. Sure, it costs a…
