@glwtta: But it is'nt: "n times more" uses the word "more" at least one time more often than it needs to; and "n times less" is just plain wrong. But so are double negatives which most people can live with.

@Wwhat: There's no doubt that US TV and film have an unequal and often negative influence in those Media. But I was expecting or maybe just hoping that the non-English language Web would be different.

Geeze. The reporting on Giz has turned to crap today.

@glwtta: That ain't no excuse for poor grammar!

@crosis101: There has to be some obvious for someone who works in the field reason why it wasnt mentioned. Too close to the star maybe?

@n-simplex: Yep, there are more questions than answers here. Kind of cool to work on as a grad student, but not yet ready to take the step from the heady impracticality of academia into the real world.

@Arggh! there goes a...snake a snake!: Yeah but they have about forth fifths of one percent of the USoA's influence on what happens on the English language Web.

@iScuba: It's comforting to think that there is some higher meaning to the chaos, but "It is so because the flying spaghetti monster willed it be so" is not a theory - it provides no answers and can not be proven or disproven.

I prefer to think of it as the Hoth Base was designed to look like stations in the Arctic and Antarctic. Satellite Antennas and Radomes have been around for a long time. In some ways its actually kind of more exciting to realise that the science fiction was based on fact.

I was under the impression that the typical male coital behaviour is: "That was great Honey Zzzzz Zzzzz"

@bishop1j: Now that you've mentioned it it's impossible not to see it.

I was torn between commending the Lower East Side Girls Club for what they are doing here and screaming, "kill it, kill it, kill it! Kill it dead!"

@redman042: A solar storm strong enough to take out all satellites is a pretty rare event. On the other hand atmospheric storms happen all the time which is going to make station keeping so much more expensive.

@James Deng: The US?

@Markarian: Manuals? Pffft!

@Gators15: Team building + Free Advertising = win for management

@Knightblade: I was thinking that the two were unrelated. Apple never really acknowledged that there was a problem and you'd have to be living under a rock, not to know about the antenna 'controversy' by now.

@Porkbun: If you buy before then and maybe you've had your head in the sand, it's possible you might not have heard that the phone has a shitty antenna design.
