What are they going to do about the two huge bombs strapped to her chest?

I went paragliding off a mountain (not a very high one, but you still run off the top with an open chute and glide down). While gathering up the chute at the bottom, I noticed that the screw-on closure of the ring holding all the lines together on the left side of the chute was open. So that whole side could have…

As much as I hate the calls of "shopped" on everything, after zooming in, it's pretty clearly a composite photo that's been stitched together. And I'm not even an expert.

Third Law of Robotics.

That last photo is reminiscent of the landing pad of the Axiom in WALL•E.

The really interesting thing about this is that it now gives me a better frame of reference with which to imagine what the places I've seen in old photos actually looked like. Since I've been to Dubai and seen these locations in person, I can essentially diff the live experience against these photos and then apply the…

Well, I left that conclusion as an exercise for the student, but yeah.

What are the normal statistics regarding the vot3 distribution late on election day? My recollection is that the Republican vote usually rolls in larger numbers late in the day in every election.

Make it red instead of green and you've turned on your heartlight. Ok, lunglight, but you gE.T. the idea.

The point is, according to the poster's anecdotal evidence, the "bad things" the TSA is finding were carried unintentionally to the security checkpoint. They haven't been finding anything that can be tied to a person with the intent to actually carry out an attack onboard an aircraft.

"Ken Barbee (whose parents evidently hated him with a passion)"

Does it come with an elven dagger that glows when orcs are around? Because I'd buy it in a heartbeat then.

So how many of those knives and firearms were in the possession of people who actually had the intention of using them to do bad things on the airplane? Zero? So what's the point?

I seem to remember at least one person dying from this (because he did it during a rain storm and drowned).

A friend of mine bought one when it came out. Beautiful machine. It's amazing how many iconic designs came out of Apple. I particularly like the Cube and the iLamp (which I handed down to my parents and is still in active use, running Leopard, a decade later).

Newsflash: it was hotter during the Medieval Warming Period.

Historically, China simply didn't give a shit and didn't do anything to combat rampant knockoffs. However, since China's entry into the WTO, the government has had to start giving a shit, because letting everything go the way it had been will get China kicked out of the WTO. So they care more now than they used to,…

We had a good theatrical distributor as well (Abramorama) and were able to play in 29 markets in 2009/2010. Pretty good for an indie documentary, but DVD sales is where you recoup the money.

No, don't move here! It really, really sucks! Don't do it!

I feel your pain. I especially feel your pain while we are still working on recouping the $300,000 spent producing an award winning indie documentary that hasn't yet had the good fortune of going viral like the Polish bros film has.
