I'd just like to give you a massive thumbs up for this post, because I also didn't know that pterodactyl was the genus name, not that of a species.

This. I'm willing to put down traps and poison for mice that have the simple cheek of thinking my cupboard is a good place to find food.

Actually, very good point. I overlooked the 9:30pm point when I read the article. Falling into a dark lake is a lot more panic inducing than daytime splashing.

"I'm just so grateful to be alive, I have a new lease on life."

He did. The best part was him arguing vehemently with the skeptical comments who called it fake from the get-go.

I disagree with a few on both lists, but oh god THE CORE, I have no idea how that could be left off.

I like your thinking, but I suspect that, as a woman in Morroco, it'd be "her fault" regardless of what she said.

I wondered about that. I've never read the books, so treat my review as one coming from a complete Jon Carter newbie.

I find this amusing, because I disagree with you on many points, but agree that overall it fell short of what it could have been.

I'm hardly saying there aren't conservatives, but there isn't a handful of local governments trying to mandate anti-abortion laws, and you'd never see abortion go centre-stage and dominate other issues like the economy in the same fashion it currently is for the whole GOP presidential primary.

The other thing is that this is in Britain. It's somewhat easier to laugh off the bad sexist jokes of a youth clothing company when your entire political system *isn't* seemingly insistent on taking control of your body.

Are there any pre-made macros or guides about doing this in GIMP?

That's all I really need to say I think.

As a man, I think you're missing the potential upside here.

From what I've read about the program, some of the reactor designs being investigated are the 4th gen breeder types that do use Thorium rather than uranium.

I'm living in Korea atm, and racism just isn't really considered a problem. The government here is only now, in the year 2012, getting around to creating legislation that makes overt racism illegal.

Holy crap, I'd forgotten about this. BEST TOY EVER.

While I agree that not hitting send is definitely better, I'm not entirely convinced the current trend of "Hey it's hands free, so it's safe" is good. Talking on a hands-free set while driving has been shown to lower your concentration/reaction time to about the level of mild sleep deprivation, I'm not sure we should…

Not really. The pause Siri has is a direct result of the fact she accepts freeform language much better than Google Voice, and so has to be sure to listen for *everything* before she starts.

Thankyou sir! I was going to be disappointed in io9 if I had to post this myself.
