@jrnlopez: They're not arms. They're "shouldarms". It's the next big thing on the evolutionary ladder.

@magista: Heh, I wasn't considering the prop, but I was thinking of giving a little satisfied grunt and handing the guy a $5 bill when the search is over. Of course, I'm about as straight as one gets, so I'd probably do a pretty poor acting job.

@lauwersp: fwiw, I think that the concern is not that there remains room for improvement. It's that massive, glaring holes are ignored. Setting aside the reports of TSA arrogance and abuse of power, there is some pretty poor management and implementation. Start with little things— why is it necessary to shout to…

@Dan Cordell: May I subscribe to your newsletter?

Professional help? This is nothing but a case of t3h awesomez!

@johanoh123: I understand the Enterprise may be decommissioned in the next couple of years. I was thinking about buying it, but if Canada wants it I'll save myself a wait outside the Army/Navy surplus store.

@BLVC25: Hey, we can. I've been learning all about it. Sure, I have to go to the library (a 4 kiloyard walk, mind you) but it's worth it.

@SwatLax: Yup... it's effectively unlimited, but you're right that more than one permutation (sorry, these are permutation locks, not combination) can open it. Essentially, the permutation that's entered gets converted to a sort of mechanical hash. This should give you any idea of the internal workings:

@skittlzncombos: Minds too weak to use scalpels instead overuse clubs.

@v6sonoma: fwiw, it seems like they're not really treating the Pre 2 as the great uber-device everyone should want. They seem to be landing it somewhere between "refresh of current products— a little to see, but not too much" and "significant product release". This means that there is room for a super-device... HD…

@drtimothyjames1: One person's experience, regardless of who that person is, is hardly enough to support the claims at hand. The plural of "anecdote" is not "data".

@FrankN.Stein: Yeah, that's ok for the first few million years... after that, it's all tedium.

@Gaffadin: I'm sorry to read about your loss, and I applaud your willingness to share. I don't know your religious beliefs, of course, but you might find "A Grief Observed", by C. S. Lewis, worthwhile. The loss of his wife seriously challenged Lewis' faith, and he explores all that in his writing, as it happens to…

Bring back Firefly. That is all.

(Ignore... apparently it's just about impossible to fix a failed image attempt...)

@xcalibr: Yeah, that's what I was thinking... If he'd played "drop the bowling balls" or "toss the full Super Big Gulps" I could see it being "trashed".

@talmans: Yeah, pretty much. Considering what a screwup the no-fly list has become, why in the world should *anyone* have confidence that the feds can handle this, too? "RealID... brought to you by the makers of the TSA."

@Jonathan Strange: Yeah, this strikes me as mostly a refresh of the current line, and maybe a bone to the people that love the current form factor. I strongly suspect that the Pre 2 is the middle of the product line and that a seriously ubered-up high-end phone is one the way.

Wrong. A hero kills people, people that wish him harm. A hero is part human and part supernatural. A hero is born out of a childhood trauma or a disaster that must be avenged.
