Negative. The pattern is full.

Look up the square-cube law for an explanation of why you can't have 50 foot tall ants. As to evolving on a world with higher gravity relative to earth, yes you would be able to withstand more Gs than a human (see the Starwolf book series for an example). However, propulsion is propulsion, and any theoretical alien…

Or you could go join the Barbershop Harmony Society [www.barbershop.org] and actually sing four part harmony (well, to be fair, *you* only sing one of the parts at a time, and you need at least three other people).

Not working on Safari, even though the error message says it's supposed to.

In this particular case, you probably don't. But even displaying from the device on stage to a big screen can go wrong, as it doesn't represent the common use case, and you never know if somebody's going to trip over a cable backstage and bring you down.

One of the reasons booth babes are used in some booths is that they can't say anything about the product that they weren't trained to say. You don't want engineers accidentally leaking non-public information. There are journalists out there who specifically try to get information like that at trade shows like this.…

It's possible to get high availability, dedicated bandwidth, wired Internet access at shows like this, but it will cost you tens of thousands of dollars minimum. Sometimes approaching $50k+, particularly if your redundant link is from an external provider and not running through the venue's equipment (if the venue…

The jawas want their sandcrawler back. Just sayin'...

This land is mine, god gave this land to me...

Having spent a number of years supporting demos for my company at big events, including CES, CTIA, MWC, investor relations events, etc, I think you underestimate the things that can go wrong in a demo environment (which would drive you to have a non-live Plan B, and perhaps a Plan C). Especially if the demo involves…

I'd hazard a guess that the incidence of Popeye arms among Gizmodo commenters is already abnormally high.

Here you go. [image fail]

So if we take your advice (which essentially labels all debate, fact-based or not, as "trolling"), nobody will comment, ever. Gizmodo loses its revenue stream, and you lose your job.

Wrong conclusion. In fact, none of the people were terrorists, and could have safely been allowed on the plane *with* their items. Further conclusion: TSA is a worthless and unnecessary expense, and does nothing to actually make planes "safer".

That wasn't my question. How many of them were *actual* terrorists planning to *actually* commit a crime on the plane?

And in how many of these cases was it determined that the people in possession of the "dangerous" items actually had intent to use them to cause harm to the plane or its passengers?

Paging Mr. Frucci... Mr. Frucci to the Giz test lab, please...

Oh, you were talking about spitting your drink out.

Does that happen often?

Same here. Bought it immediately.
