Agreed. I think one of the logical fallacies being thrown around here is that leaflets are all that different from military action, as far as a response by the DPRK is concerned. If the leaflets are effective, then the government will respond with some kind of drastic dangerous move in an attempt to re-solidify its…

I believe South Korea already does this, but I also think that ultimately it just won't work. If I found a leaflet (that I may or may not be able to read), I don't think I'd necessarily believe what it had to say. A piece of paper can't show all that much, and so for those who do find them I would think it would be…

"Remind me, how is it he's not a shoe-in for reelection?

No.

The mess we're in is not due to our currency not having a physical backing. Inflation is within reasonable limits.

Thanks!

What is that from? I've only ever seen the Simpsons episode where Homer pops one of them and I've never known what it's a reference to.

Sure they do, if they stand to benefit more from covering it up (thereby avoiding the bad press) than being open and losing business. No, they don't do it on purpose, but an entity that exists for the purpose of turning a profit isn't necessarily going to do the right moral thing when caught in a jam, if it conflicts…

Not everybody makes every meal they eat on their own, so at some point we all put our faith in the ability of restaurants and other companies to prepare there food properly and source the right ingredients. Which often means trusting the 17 year old behind the counter who makes minimum wage to pay attention every…

Fellow Seattleite speaking here, I know there's been talk of upping parking rates downtown which increases the availability of spaces as people stay for less time, so maybe it will all balance out. I've never seen those portable parks though, it sounds fairly goofy.

I think the author is implying that they would be connected the long way around. As in, New York to London via Canada, Alaska, Russia, and mainland Europe. Otherwise you're right, this makes no sense.

I'm with you. At it's core, a tablet is just a device built around a screen. Since it's reasonable to have some border around the screen, you have to pick a color with white and black being the most neutral options, and Apple did both. That doesn't leave much room for anybody else to make anything if you can't follow…

If you yawn at your own post, I'm definitely going to yawn at it, so it probably isn't worth it.

Well, I've only done it a few times, but on mine it actually seems a bit slower. Ugh.

I'm glad you're not in charge of testing. I wouldn't want NASA just assuming my life capsule could survive smashing into the water at freeway speeds. Plowing through the atmosphere isn't the same challenge as hitting water.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like every other thing I read on Giz these days is negative in one way or another. Whether it products that the writer thinks sucks, or devices that look too much like other devices, or how much money our government is wasting...it's all things in bad lights and a smattering of…

If you free up the self-driving components and put people on it, it isn't really different from any other personel carrier, which they already have. My guess is this thing wouldn't be too easy to loot while it's rolling around at a good clip, but it could be that it is intended to often walk with soldiers on foot. You…

Besides the fact that you can't get a van with this sort of off road capability for 20k, that van has a driver that can be killed, which is something the military obviously wants to avoid. And even taking the immoral tact of valuing a human life in terms of dollars, a soldier costs the Army a lot more than 200k to…

By saying "versions" at all? Which implies, or directly means, you have one version over here another version over there...while the reality is they are all one single version that can alter it's interface on the fly. So before claiming you're poking holes in someone's argument, I'd re check your language, since it…

Erk you're totally right. I was only thinking in terms of performance, since it used to be that you couldn't get an ultraportable with decent performance at any price, and that has definitely changed. They're definitely not at performance parity with average-size laptops though for the price: the swap of the white…
