I don't understand Brian's argument. His fantasy is fucking a random hot stranger on the subway, but this couple were not strangers to one another. They could fuck anywhere else, so the fantasy really doesn't apply/

@XerxesQados: They have, but they haven't found anything yet. Now they've found evidence for the first time that this is possible (though it was induced in a lab) which will probably encourage more people to study the possibilities of life comprised of non-phosphorous genetic material. Science isn't a zero-sum game,…

@HarbingeR: Someone call Putin!

@samplesize: Yes, but that's true of almost every commodity. Don't you feel the same way when you eat chocolate or use a computer?

@lolita7b3: Absolutely. I contrast the genuine care expressed in this letter with the prosecutor of that Duke case a few years ago, who had no trouble exploiting a poor, confused African-American woman in order to try to ensure his re-election. That episode caused sexual assault to be dismissed by so many that it's…

Amazing. This article is so offensive that the Jezebel comments, for once, are not full of self-righteous attacks on the patriarchy. Even if this piece is nothing more than a troll, though, I think SOMEONE has to take a stab at showing why this guy is completely and utterly wrong, how his tone is incredibly…

@kiddo: Federal agents are allowed to carry guns on planes (though I'm not sure they're allowed to wear them on the plane). TSA didn't miss the weapon; they knowingly allowed it. Of course, that acceptance that certain people can carry guns is a massive security risk.

@tastes_like_burning: It's a story because it provides a phenomenal counterpoint to the TSA's recent decision to drastically increase the intensity of security theater without actually making us safer. It's pretty obvious that there are some ridiculously weak links in the system. Any terrorist worth his salt could…

@bombastinator: The article says "she wouldn't even let the nosy CNN photographer take a look at it!" which I think implies that they don't have a picture of the actual magazine. Instead they used a stock photo and never mentioned it.

@Almightywhacko: Yes, but there are concerns regarding the TSA that don't exist to nearly the degree regarding pharmaceutical companies and tobacco companies. There are many special interests that have a stake in keeping Americans focused on the War on Terror, and the relatively powerless airline lobby can't put up…

@Almightywhacko: "I wonder why airlines put up with this kind of abuse of their customers."

@Decad3nce: Exactly! This is the public rebellion that Walker was talking about. People will lose trust in the TSA and eventually it will become so politically toxic it will be killed.

@ddhboy: "It's only a matter of time before a major computer manufacturer steps up and tries to sell their products to the mass market as a HTPC."

@sheetheadjohnson: Hooray for capitulating to greedy media companies!

@enlight10ment: Google can't do it, since they need to be able to play with the networks in the future. But the OS community (likely including Google engineers) will easily be able to do so.

@halfbaked: They're just another company that's bought into the Little Endian agenda!

@doggdiggity: Where does this bullshit idea come from? No one complained that airport security didn't stop these guys. Everyone complained that a) law enforcement never coordinated all their data on the hijackers and the plot (the same problem that let the Xmas bomber get onto a plane) and b) that the cockpit wasn't…

@espinha: I had relatives die in World War II. Does that mean you should accept my proposal to nuke all our enemies so we don't have to send in ground troops? Of course not. Your appeal to emotion, while powerful, is the kind of logical fallacy that gets people killed.

@franco1975 [Troll ]: Good trolling. Everyone else, STOP FEEDING THE TROLL!

@Edd White: The good old days...when you oppressed brown people and sent kids to work in factories for 12 hours a day? Right.
