Seems pretty obvious that they're going to start making products to compete with Toughbook.

What makes everyone think it's going to be a Verizon phone? The article says "and/or Sprint" and Sprint has been a recent rumor. IMHO, Verizon KNOWS that everyone wants to get them in the sack so it's logical that they would hold out for a sweetheart deal.

Spoiler alert: The last digit is zero.

@okwhen: That's one of the benefits of a pebble bed system. The fuel pellets can be recycled. You pretty much need one breeder reactor to reconstitute the pellets for the whole country. One is a hell of a lot easier to manage than hundreds. Consider that France derives nearly 80% of its power from nuclear plants. …

@ggranum: Ummm...yeah, with pebble bed reactors you reuse the fuel pellets.

@malacandro: Pebble bed reactors pretty much take care of any meltdown issues but too many people are operating on emotions rather than facts. The thing is that I vividly remember the energy crisis in the 70's and back then solar power was going to save the country. Here we are 35 years later and it's STILL just a…

Double the efficiency, eh? So from a couple of percent to a couple of more percent? Does that come anywhere near the nuclear power cost per kilowatt-hour of about 2 cents? Wake me when it does.

@Lupison: True but this is rather different. You're entering a world on the inner surface of a sphere which already has cool visual implications. Like Ringworld but even more so. Then you consider the sheer size of that world. Add in the odd gravitational aspects e.g. how would you aim a missile to impact some…

At least this is better than gay people protesting that there were no homosexual Na'Vi.

@thursdaynext_27: No way because this is the shot that caused Mastrantonio to walk off the set and to this day she refuses to talk about the whole experience.

Here's a theory: Unless YOU are the guy banging the girl on the pill, she smells wrong because YOU are NOT the guy banging the girl. Of course that doesn't take into account those sluts who cheat on their boyfriends and the guys who don't give a sh*t that a girl is boinking some other guy.

I've always thought the ST:TNG episode where they encounter the Dyson sphere would make for a really great spin-off: Star Trek: Sphere or Star Trek: Return to The Sphere. Think about it. With a world that vast, you'd never run out of plot possibilities and pretty much everything is fair game.

@logantrox: America! F*ck Yeah!

I nominate "That's racist" to be relegated to the junk pile of phraseology. I'm seriously tired of hearing it because 99% of the time it's bullsh*t.

@tande04: Ah so it's a product placement. Clever, Disney, clever.

The same goes for f*king Helvetica. Bleah bleah bleah.

Workshop space. HOAs often frown upon home-based businesses especially when tractor-trailers pull up to the garage.

Scott Adams must be quite familiar with the D-K effect.

Grand Moff Tarkin just blew up Alderaan. Duh.
