So - Wait - Heller is saying that a two long cylentrical vehicles used to transport people are similar?! Get the fuck out of dodge! Heller is a genius!

You Canadians have been invading with those damn Tim Hortons! First, they swept Canada - apparently 25% of your food source is from Tim Hortons. Now, I see Tim Horton creeping across the border into New York. I even saw one in Dublin over Christmas! I'm on to you guys. Canada is invading us with its donuts!

Which one? The fastest growing country and most populous country are not the same the country. The country with fastest five year growth rate was Yemen (29.06%). The United States was 72nd (3.95%). China was 74th (3.82%). [en.wikipedia.org] But I think I know what you mean. But I also know that no war with a nuclear…

And imagine if the Scandinavians decide they want to be vikings again: I'm picturing a dozen long boats with fat bearded men looking for a place to land in Manhattan.

Try to invades us now... Chavez? Wait... Who exactly is going to invade us? I guess no one now. We should just build cardboard planes - Cold War style - and make our enemies think we have 2,443 F-35s. I'm thinking I should start a cardboard plane company and sell them to the pentagon for $10k a cardboard plane. We…

Nominal GDP per capita of the U.S. is $47,284. GDP $47,284 - planes $1070 = $46,214. But half of Americans don't pay Federal Income Tax.

You want the more expensive plane but also want free health insurance? Or do you just want one in lieu of the other? If you can't have the more expensive plane, you want the free health insurance? Or if you can't have the free health insurance, you want the the more expensive plane?

I can't of any more fitting name for the CEO of Lodsys than Mr. Small.

Don't look at me.

Itchfork is so much better than Pitchfork.

What would be most fair is allowing EPO because most of them are probably taking it anyways. That way everyone is treated the same rather than just a few punished. Even the great Eddy Merckx took drugs.

EPO is criticized because it's supposedly a unnatural, chemical, that should be banned because it's dangerous. But it's malarky. EPO should be legal:

I agree. They are all taking drugs anyways.

Mostly rhythm games. Their skill is amazing but it's not exactly the pinnacle of gaming either. Rhythm games are to FPS games (against live players) as checkers is to chess. Rhythm games are a really impressive physical and mental feat, but FPS (again live) is a real thinking person's game. I feel that the best video…

Dead on. China can only control the market in the short term.

As far as Great Man Theory, are we sure that is dead? That narrative seems to be strong at Gizmodo, because I certainly hear a lot about Jobs, Balmer, Zuckerburg, Page, and Gates (still). They certainly seem to be "a few learned white men".

On the topic of meaningful relationships born in a new medium (I kind of said this yesterday, but it seems relevant here): on Xbox Live you'll hear some of the most racist, immature banter ever, because with anonymity comes uncensored thought. But the flip side of that is that you can also have some of most sincere,…

Hahaha. Thank God some summoner, adept in language, was able to pronounce your name well enough for it to work.

But sometimes ideas are stupid and sometimes people are horrible trolls. And it seems the writers at Gizmodo are sometimes right to call stupid stupid and a troll a troll. But if that policy was extended down to commenters, it would just get out of hand. The ad-hominems would be flying back in forth without end, but…

Keller a damn luddite, for surez. I'm gonna tweet dat shitz. But, playing devil's advocate for a moment, I am wondering if the fact I've wasted the last two hours on the internet instead of reading this big, thick Kierkegaard anthology, which I'm supposed to be reading, has anything to do with the ease in which I can…
