@Doinker: thank you.

@The Shockwave: Lol @ "you are just backing down." What a comically desperate attempt to shoe-horn a threat to one's masculinity as a mechanism to justify not taking a corrective action when one regrets harming another.

@The Shockwave: I am pretty sure 'better men' are actually often defined by apologizing when they realize they were being a dick. What is your definition of what makes a 'better man'?

@Ryanrule: i agree they could... do you, or anyone else, actually think that is a course of action anyone at RIM would take seriously?

@jasondiaz: I'm going to *very quietly* point out (1) your concern about the quality of research findings when placed into a emotionally/psychologically compromised position, then (2) mention you seem pretty thrilled about APPLE scientists being the ones doing the real scientific analysis about Apple's problem after…

@corpore-metal: yeah, we just don't get that really anywhere else these days

I think this thread has the legs to win "surprisingly dismissive nerd commentary in face of amazing feat" award of the month. Dream the dream little thread!

@bdinger: ha. i thought same thing.

@Polybius: I didn't see it. I'm still standing :)

@minjChE: it does... but common and best are really different claims, right? I kinda took it like you were trying to illustrate how little progress has been made in energy storage technology... but if all you were doing is citing the most *common* marketplace mechanism for large-scale energy storage, you were merely…

@minjChE: Could you cite where you found this as the "best" way? I'm interested in what you said... but super skeptical.

@Skarl: I'm pretty sure creepy is heavily defined in part by being non-normal behavior. So, sadly, I am pretty sure these behaviors won't be perceived as creepy for much longer. The world turns.

@Wade McGillis: upside to hipster culture taking over... if you can curl 25 lb. barbells... you are now f-in ripped.

@zibzer: road bikes need a little more lovin and adjustin, sadly, and atlanta streets eat the loving shit out of tubes.

@Carrick1973: I just bought one of these crazy new inventions called "bicycle." I've been using it for a year to commute back and forth to work.
