Unfortunately, there are some in the general population that would disagree... Those people live near wilderness, or hunting grounds, or any of a number of other valid reasons to carry guns. Unfortunately, a lot of those people are probably what you defined as "mother humping hick"s.

I've been in plenty of bad days in traffic. With many sane people around that have firearms. Sane people don't pull out their guns and start shooting everyone because of a traffic jam. (Besides the fact that it would just mean more gridlock because now there aren't people to move the cars)

Let the 11 year old be a surgeon. Be the best damn surgeon she can be, because #1, we need more good surgeons/medical personnel; #2, A kid at that age should be able to dream; #3, the kid should look at all avenues HER SELF and decided what she wants to do, #4, the world is already overpopulated... more kids isn't…

Yes. Kids will most likely be online in some form well before they even get close to puberty.

You mean like a Mazdaspeed MX-5? Factory Installed Turbocharger.

Actually the iPhone 4S vibrate is quieter than the 3G I had before it... but it's pretty much dead on what I want. It's loud enough, on my night stand at night, to wake me when servers start paging me that they're down (I'm a Systems Admin) and yet not wake up my wife. Hopefully if this goes through, they'll allow you…

Is the 0.02 the time between hitting the button and the picture being taken, or the time between pictures in a continuous "10 FPS" series? One of the best features of my, now old, Canon XT DSLR is that it'll go from full sleep to picture taken in 0.2s... Including focusing and exposure/iris adjustments. The newer…

If I were a former Apple board member 'forced out' I think I'd be a bit more pissed off at Apple and not side with them as the author does, so I don't see how that's really relevant.

She doesn't look that junkie to me... I get more "mom was incessantly crying her eyes out for the last hour" out of it.

yes, unless you're on an iPad without *G or you're on a Mac.

I agree. I always figured "Missing Link" meant that they were trying to find an example or two of the time in between Lucy and us to show the transition.

How long would these actually last? For instance, we have a few roads here that have reflectors. They're awesome. They're SO much easier to see lanes at night during the rain than overhead lit sections when the reflection from the lights washes out the lines. However, after a few years of people rolling over them and…

Minus the fact that "The battery is so flat, I can't even open the doors"... and you have to do that from the driver's seat...

I've done this too with the lights that are on all the time. (Porch light, and living room) Especially over the winter, the porch light is on close to 18 hrs a day because of where it's situated. However, Calculating the return on only momentary use bulbs (I barely use a few of the lamps, or one of the bathrooms) it…

Huh, I always pitted the G37 against the 5 series. It's a bit bigger than a 3, and seems much more like a full size car to me.

If it supports bluetooth controls, there are a number light weight headphones that have bluetooth based controls on them... Just the simple play/pause, next/prev, volume. That would solve the 'can't shake while running' problem.

A few of those were made with the guy/girl holding a pole out with the camera on the end pointed back at them, or with the camera mounted on their vehicle of choice.

I get it, it's hard to make a new phone. We keep pushing the boundaries on what's possible in such a small amount of space. It's like cranking out millions of tiny Ferrari's. Carbon fiber, titanium, etc isn't the easiest thing to work with either. It's called advancement.

I have an iPad, it's awesome, I love mine. With VPN, SSH, RDP, etc... it's pretty much replaced a laptop for me. I can see a lot of cool uses in the classroom for it. But personally, as a parent and as someone who went through school myself, I'd much rather them have e-ink based kindles in the classroom. They're so…

What's funny is that the specs of android devices have been ahead of their iCounterparts for a while now, but in general, they seem to come away with about the same performance. Espeically pre ICS & JB. It always seemed like you HAD to throw twice as much proc and ram at something to get it done in Android. Different…
