My great-uncle (my grandmother's twin brother) died at the battle of the bulge. They suspect he froze to death, as there were no wounds on his body. His clothes had also been taken, likely by another soldier who was trying not to freeze to death himself.

I hope you realize that the point of doing this is so that we aren't providing Chinese hackers with the knowledge and training to attack us in the first place. If they want to try and hack us, great; we're probably doing the same to them. But we don't have to be the ones providing them with the means to do it. Replace…
It's really too bad real identities aren't used on Giz. This thread would make a great first pass screen for anybody looking to avoid hiring people with zero critical thinking and math skills.
Luckily, it's not a tech blog anymore.
Despite the fact that it's also been experimentally proven that it's 1/3 and 2/3 across millions of simulations....
Wrong. Wow.
At the time you choose your door, your probability is 1/3, and that's set and immutable as soon as you make your choice. When another door is removed from the set, it's probability is zero. Since no more probability can accrue to your door, the extra 1/3 can only accrue to the third remaining door, so it has a 2/3…
Even more accurately: it's from a Stephen King collection of short stories/novellas, before it hit the screen.
So this castle has a bunch of high tech features like 802.11AC WiFi or gigabit ethernet wired to all the rooms, which justifies it being on GIZMOdo, right?
No?
Ok, then it must at least have *relative* high tech for the times, like indoor plumbing, right?
Right?
Oh.
I got nothin'...
"All these new weird shapes and designs that keep coming out are made just to have something new and "tacticool." Most companies refuse to speak the truth and just say, "the reason we designed this is because some mall ninja would think it's cool and spend money on it.""
That may be the best and most honest statement…
You're welcome!
You can't just be happy that we got communicators and almost have tricorders?
When my wife was a kid, she thought duplexes were houses for divorced couples.
Um, no. Since that went down in freshwater, it's basically like new. Go look up pictures and video.
One of my ancestors is William Bradford. I probably take more blame than you do...
Meh. We were doing this in San Diego almost 20 years ago...

I saw that same story in one of the documentaries about the space program, and it came straight from the mouth of the guy in charge of the mission: they did it specifically to make sure that they wouldn't land when they weren't supposed to. Technically, they *could* land, and be the first man on the moon, but they…
