@MaWeiTao: I think the pattern is supposed to be random, but yeah, what looks like cut and bonded acrylic is horrifying.

@anitesh.jaswal: I agree that it's groundbreaking that we've discovered evidence that it's possible that something can be built from completely different building blocks, but this has been theorized for a long time by these same scientists, but they make it sound like this is blowing their minds. I think people's…

@FriarNurgle: Haha you get a heart.

@OCEntertainment: No I can't! :)

@OCEntertainment: I'm much more a wikileaks supporter than not, and these latest releases are all very interesting to me and all from a curiosity standpoint, but can you honestly tell me that they've "thoroughly vetted" the thousands of documents in these big releases for fact and names that they're by no means…

@Dinosaur!: They throttle torrent up/down anyway, whether it's copyrighted content or not. I always get a precisely 1.4 mb/s max download speed, always. And have a max 250gb per month cap I can get cancelled for exceeding.

@ripfire: If only I could.

@Wayne Ripley: Except I don't have any other options where I live. Unless I'm missing something, despite living in the Bay Area, Comcast is the only non-commercial (cheap) broadband provider to my house. So, unless I have options, and/or it becomes illegal for comcast et al to sue municipalities for providing free…

@dolo54 blows minds and blows engines!: No they beat the protest. Just like how the protestors in France gave up after the gov't held out (rightly or wrongly) until their holiday break this whole movement will probably lose steam now that everyone got to their Thanksgiving tables without much hassle.

Reading this story, it's fascinating to learn about the Congo, but fuck why are these people proud of what they did? Most of the story is locals harassing them for money, and the couple lamenting "But we're just tourists and obviously can't help, why don't they understand?" Well no shit, what did you expect?

@Trebuchet: All I know is that UPS opened an investigation, found, and retrieved a package for me that they delivered to the wrong place. And it was the shipper's fault for the wrong address, not even UPS's. So they're all right by me.

@calchala: So the TSA blog confirmed what's on tape, they patted down a boy. He took his shirt off. How does that make this BS?

@The Standard Deviant: No, you're right, I'm not mad at you, or your choice of security-no-matter-what-cost. I didn't mean to make it a personal attack. It's just that I, and a lot of people, disagree, and all the debate seems to work on the above assumption, and completely disregards those that believe we should be…

@doxymoron: As I've said to a lot of TSA defenders, there are more security options than point-of-vulnerability security, which the TSA screenings are. I remember that for a while they had National Guardsmen posted on the Golden Gate bridge checking every pedestrian crossing the bridge, backpacks, purses, the whole…

@Rick Lyon: That's not an invalid argument, actually. War, or business, doesn't care if you're comparing apples to oranges, if the customer decides that's what they're comparing. In fact, Ford and the Big 3, didn't make or at least didn't give two shits about 4cyl engines all through the 70's emissions regulations and…

@MYMHM: Which I would love to agree with, as a Android fan, but as a developer you damn well know that *hardware* fragmentation is the real problem, and what makes development even targeted at 2.1+ android phones a nightmare. Developers shouldn't have to worry about driver issues to make an Android app. Yes I realize…

@The Standard Deviant: See, that all sounds great and noble, except that you're equating TSA to "national security operatives." And you're equating TSA procedures to "making us safer." The bottom line is some company paid a lot of money to lobby the government to buy a lot of scanners which look really attractive in…

@ls1z28chris: It's a smart move, shut down the scanners for the holidays, no controversy or clogged airports

@SkipErnst: Except that profiling doesn't work either. The wave of terrorists these past few years were born and raised in the countries they're attacking. Intelligence is the ONLY thing that has kept us from another serious attack since 9/11. Point-of-vulnerability security will never stop even a fraction of…

@Lahjik: Yes, the new tracks all look like that, but I actually like Abu Dhabi the most because it at least has the evening-to-night race which is absolutely stunning, and the pitlane area is just badass. But I agree in general that the new tracks are soulless swaths of pavement, and like Bahrain, having these…
