IR LEDs often emit a faint light visible to the naked eye. I have an IR security cam that looks like a dim red ring of LEDs when it's in night mode.

While I'd like to support what you're saying, the glimpse I can see of that article before it makes itself unreadable seems untrue. They still give awards to communities that fluoridate - despite the effects on those with thyroid and kidney conditions, etc.

"Please choose an option."

I've seen wines sold with synthetic stoppers, and an actual cork *included* with the bottle, but not used.

That's what you say now... I was driving down to the local convenience store in one one time, and I swear it must have taken 20 YEARS!

I'm usually "away." That means my client is connected and online, and I will see any messages when I'm at my PC, but you can't expect an instant reply. People SHOULD ignore it - I'd use "do not disturb" if I didn't want any messages.

I was not "defending Bill Nye for espousing global warming." I really feel there's no need to do that when he can speak for himself. I was disputing your original claim that he was pretending to know science, guessing, pushing an agenda and so on, when he was doing the opposite and refusing to give a clear definitive…

You're right. They could probably move over another 1.5-2 tire heights. Maybe the road looks weird to be because of a wide angle lens? It really looks proportioned like a one lane to me still.

As a motorcyclist who's been encroached on, merged into, and even passed in my own lane while stopped at intersections, I'd like to just say "what an asshole that truck driver was!"

If they screen you before you fly, you can opt out and leave - you still (ostensibly) have some rights. If they want to pull you aside afterwards, you're trapped, and have no rights.

you espoused global warming.

As someone who doesn't routinely read auto news sites, my impression was about like this:

Riiight... Then I guess the sensible thing to do will buy a Playstation Vita for $250.

What do you mean about battery power? Batteries give direct current - not sine or square, but line. Home AC comes as a sine wave. Once most digital devices draw power from a battery, it runs into a voltage regulator, which outputs a very high frequency square wave - but then it's almost always filtered and smoothed by…

Ok, but...

I agree they're drawing on some design factors for reasons you gave. Calling them clones is pushing it, but Apple is a trendsetter, no doubt there.

I'm getting dizzy from all that spin. I think you've lifted off, so please come down to Earth for a moment...

Science and religion are in two separate categories. But there are cases where science hasn't had a concrete answer and has just pulled one out of nowhere.

Sure. Apple is probably the biggest trend-setter in the industry. But what you're saying about what they do is unrelated to why I posted in the first place, which is how Adrian, and Gizmodo in general frames it. It's also hardly relevant how popular Apple is - when my issue is with the derogatory slam for making a…

I agree with this - if he had an anti-science bias, he could have easily interviewed some other hand-picked "expert" on staff, or even not had a guest. I think the real problem is that he may like science, but not understand that in responsible circles, it's largely still inconclusive - or more likely, that his…
