@revdrkevind: After some googling, the answer seems to be Bremsstrahlung.

@Billy Sunerson: I'm going to assume off-hand that what's meant is colliding with the nucleus, and as the nucleus absorbs the gamma ray it emits an equal amount of stuff.

Verizon: Cheaper plans (especially considering unlimited data), ridiculously better coverage area.

Ha ha. Try this at Gamestop. Oh, you're going elsewhere? Pfeh. Have fun discovering the extent of our monopoly.

Another vote for Macross.

@revdrkevind: Reading TFA as far as I can atm, it looks like the scientists propose that the bits in the red wine, not water or alcohol but the muck, is what makes the material extra conductive.

One has to ask the obvious quetion at this point- should we be running tests on using pure alcohol as a superconductive material, or is there something unique to the mix?

Anyone want to link to that article that Droid X users consume twice as much bandwidth as other device users (including Droid users, who already consume more bandwith than iPhone users)? Feeling too lazy, just like the article is too lazy to mention that yes, Verizon has Droid and this does mean they're fully…

I read these comments and I think of Douglas Adams' perspective on Jesus.

Anybody else smelling Apple fan logic? Apple products that are delivered in non-Apple ways are bad! The Jobs has said so! Boo! Hiss!

To me, the problem is Bing. Microsoft has spent a lot of money and effort investing in a search engine that's designed from the ground up to rake in profits, and you can see it working. It's such a promising money-maker, that we might be seeing the end of information-driven searches.

@cmdrtugboat: Completely correct. Add to that the fact that so many baby boomers have a grudge about the 60s crashing down around their ears. The whole generation has developed a Puritanical zest for telling the younger generations what to do.

@beaker: Your whole description of societal issues in Japan applies perfectly to the baby boomer generation and America currently.

@Vortal_Bondage: Not a bad analogy. Or, you could think of game theory. The optimum solution is that one cell fights exclusively for its own benefit (fast reproduction, short life) while the other cell trades off short-term benefits for the good of the system (slow reproduction, long life). Together, the cells have a…

Summer Glau stars in: Yet Another Hastily Canceled Television Series!

@Xyberfaust: Better get playing.

1) TSA, get rid of it. Replace it with a smaller, smarter direct link to intelligence agencies. They scrub the lists for terrorist names, maybe watch the lines for faces. No groping kids' crotches, thanks.

@mtfmuffins: Palin basically said "use guns against these people" and we witnessed guns used against one of those people. Correlation does not equal causation, but this does require further research.
