No one is yelling. I'm just pointing things out. Next time read a little more, because I said, "If she wants to do these vanity projects then fine". But it is no exaggeration to say that her "post-potter" stuff has been received with luke-warm interest (at best). Then you compare the stuff she's done (books,…

A lot of you need a basic lesson in political bias because you just don't get it. You smugly point at others and say THEY are biased. But in doing so you are proving that YOU are low-information, intellectually blinkered political simpletons that are doing very little but re-squawking what other people have told you…
Hmph - the only thing you've proven is that you know jack-squat about politics, and the Tea Party specifically. Numerous research studies have shown that FOX News is actually only just right of Center and is no more or less accurate or inaccurate than other cable news channels.
Here is what is going on. You are a…
Sorry - but your name should be "DaveYouDon'tKnow". Here are the actual planks of the Republican party in 2012 - since you clearly didn't bother taking two seconds to Google them and thus portray yourself as an informed, fair, not-crazed citizen...
I sure hope that Rowling realizes that she's wasting her time with this. No one cares about Celestina Warbeck or Newt Salamander or "Casual Vacancy"? If she wants to write them as vanity projects then fine. But no one is interested in them.
To quote the Newhart show, "That's what I love about you authors. All you…
Changing the color on a grasshopper doesn't make it cute. :P Grasshoppers are the ugliest, creepiest, weirdest alien tank-gluttons in nature. Can't stand those grotesque little monsters. No color swap makes them any less abhorrent. And don't even get me started on the female ones when they're unfolding their own…
Aw - well I have to agree to disagree on Octopussy. It's well paced, has a reasonable plot, and manages to avoid most (though certainly not all) of the goofiness in Moore's later Bonds. There are a few silly things, but the main plot is fine.
Wow - a Gizmodo article about Ferguson that actually is RELEVANT to the electronics and gadgets topic. /applaud/
It sounds to me like you are saying, "borne of a movie that was not Bond's finest outing" and then saying "If Goldeneye was based on Octopussy then I'd agree". Isn't that saying that you think Octopussy is NOT one of Bond's finest outings?
Hey - Octopussy is a seriously underrated Bond movie.
Seems to work for me...

You know what would be even better? A nuclear power plant, a natural gas plant, a clean coal plant, or some other form of energy that is cheaper and more efficient than the most expensive form of energy known to human kind. :P Just sayin'...
Yes - I'm adding this to the huge pile of "I'll believe it when it is in an affordable product that exists in the marketplace" announcements about wonderful "could happen one day!" announcements about batteries. :P
More of a marketing ploy than a benefit, really. The number of times there are going to be drive train problems on a car are minuscule compared to other failure points.
Yawn. I'll be interested when the batteries actually cost less in real products. Until then I'll throw the article on the Matterhorn sized pile of other "this new battery COULD be the wave of the FUTURE!!!!!!" articles that sluice forth every day.
And as always, the link is filled with conditionals.
Time for some uncomfortable truth telling...
The blog and a lot of the comments are blaming the division between middle-class white areas (so called gentrification) and poorer minority areas as "racism". But truth be told, this is not racism. It is economic stratification. The statistics of the racial percentages of…
And I've got no problem with that. :) If folks like a product because they "like" it, or they find it convenient, or "feel good" because they use it? More power to them. Those are all valid reasons. Sodastream may let you make a soda the way you like it. It may be a lot more convenient. You may be able to use…
Sodastream supposedly uses real sugar instead of HFCS in its syrups. And I suppose you could just create your own syrup from natural fruit juice if you wanted. In that sense, Sodastream can be as 'healthy' as soda can be depending on how you choose to serve it up.
