Thanks for the info TomatoAccountant. It's exciting to see how advanced these amateur rocks are getting but I always figured there was a reason rockets were always built so large.

How high would you have to go to be able to reach a stable orbit? Is it possible with amateur rockets like these?

I am not going to defend anti global warming research, but you are kidding yourself if you think there are not money interests deeply invested in the science behind global warming. An entirely new economy has already been created around cap and trade programs and carbon credits. Stakeholders in this economy…

IE11. Try it.

Why give a human persona to a machine whose job is to do something that it's illegal to ask humans to do?

I take a 90 minute nap almost every day when I get home. It makes a huge difference in how much I can get accomplished in a day and can help me maintain an optimistic outlook.

Illegal border crossings include more than attempts at immigration. They also include contraband (drugs, guns, cash, other illegal items) and non-immigration human trafficking. Also a more porous border can help criminals evade law enforcement.

I have never agreed so strongly with anything else you've said. Sadly, things will only get worse as we bow to the will of anonymous threats.

The Fall Season 2 on January 16th is exciting!

I think Lumias came from the n9 so you are probably right.

Ended last month. They are calling them Microsoft Lumias now. This is Nokia-Nokia.

Cortana gets much better when you use Bing, Outlook, and other MSFT services just like Google Now. When I first started using Cortana it didn't offer much in the way of relevance but after using it along with other MSFT services on my PC it has gotten great at recognizing my interests.

The target breach is the perfect example of why you shouldn't provide a retailer with your ATM card info if they accept credit. There is a reason consumers use credit cards instead of ATM cards and that is protection. If the fee is too much for the business owner, don't accept credit cards. But we know that won't…

They are rougher than what you can find in the baby stores but I think they are designed that way to facilitate swaddling. Too soft and your burrito comes undone. Also, these are larger than most baby blankets like the tortillas at Chipotle. We still use the couple from the hospital for our 6 week old.

Different situation really. I mean the guy had his hand on the mouth of the shark pulling a hook out. A cool video to watch but really those guys should be using gloves and pliers. Most shallow or no water events like this are because of a lapse in judgment.

Jls8 is pointing out that the graph only shows a data points over a relatively small time period. The date range doesn't include a single pre-industrial revolution year. Maybe he/she is one of those rare critical thinkers. 135 years/billions of years of a system is fairly truncated.

Exactly what I was thinking. Who cares how long the phone has been out if it is still better.

Some stores like Sears will only price match retailers with physical stores. Wonder if they will have to change their policy.

I would love to get one of these installed on my roof to convert the neighborhood pigeons into streamers.

Homebuilders need to stop planting lawns in CA. I would like to replace my lawn with native landscaping options but I don't want to be the only guy for miles with no front lawn. Additionally, we need to rethink which crops get planted where water is not located naturally. I am not for more government regulation but…
