And yet, here is your comment. You know, I've always thought that a really cool feature that the 'tubes needs is the ability not to click on something that the user doesn't find interesting. Until that happens, you're really just a victim.

I happen to know, as a veteran of many TV shows (watching, not acting), that tracking devices always have a visible, blinking light and a soft beep. Just look for those.

Oh? Moreso than other muscle car makers? How does one show that? And how does that justify the invalid interpretation of the results?

Yup, exactly. That was one of the first episodes I watched of Top Gear. I still watch it— it's hella entertaining— but I really see no reason to trust their technical assessments. This one in particular really turned me off to that. I don't know if they were being blatantly dishonest or just absurdly incompetent,…

The number was pulled out of a dark, warm place... :-)

Why would they even have kept the spear or distinguished it as special. To the Romans at the cross, Jesus was just another job. They wouldn't have seen his death as special, and they wouldn't have kept that particular spear in a manner distinguished from others. They also wouldn't have surrendered it to the…

Nope, she took it apart and sold it for scrap metal. Got about $75.

Holy crap, drivers, would you make up your minds? You complain that the cars don't accelerate enough. You complain that they accelerate too much. Just make a decision and stick with it.

So it gets soft as things heat up? No, that's *not* what you want her saying.

I think Gizmodo's just auditioning a new type of article, the "Stop congratulating people for things we don't like!" Articles will be readily noted by the presence of a new icon, a little girl crying with bunched-up panties and a cartoon bubble with the words, "Stop congratulating people for things we don't like!"

No, it's like having a replicator next to your chair to which you say, "Beer, PBR, Cold", and having it suddenly appear, and then doing the same the next time you want one.

Ok, did I or did I not friend Chancellor Palpatine?

See, I'd always figured that the only way to win Farmville was not to play. I think you're right...

Agreed, and then perhaps the next (or simultaneous) step would be the merging of the two— "metal/digital" and bio. BSG barely touched on that concept at the very end— using Cylon tech to repair the Galactica. Maybe someone will take on the challenge of Star Wars 3,000ABY when Vong (and other bio-) tech has been…

Agreed, which makes the fantastic Lotus engineering that allows Hennessey to put God's own V8 in it and get the results he did all the more amazing.

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean things like data storage, computation, etc? It seems like they would have a wall as well. After all, data storage (to my limited understanding) relies on the ability to differentiate states. How fine can that get? We start macro, reading and altering the states of, say,…

One possibility... it seems reasonable that there would be an "upper limit" to the technology that can created. Materials can only get so strong before they defy the laws of physics, ships can only get so fast, only so much power can be routed through matter, and so on. Perhaps they're already in the ballpark of…

Yeah, plus the poor kid's already deaf. Do they really have to rub it in by pointing out that he's slow, too?

Stupid? Or stupid fast?

Heh, yup, exactly. I thought the reference would be pretty well-understood on Jalopnik. Apparently not...
