Hey, Okulski, I'll "get over it" when you get yourself over the notion that you should get to dictate what the rest of us find fun about driving. I'm not interested in "building the enthusiast community" with a bunch of unskilled drivers... nor, honestly, do I particularly care about getting a faster lap time than…

At least three other people have pointed out my mistake, smart guy. Pay attention.

Maybe they were using Siri to post the tweet and intended it to be "#Jameson was born..."? In any event, who names a girl "Jameson"? The very definition is "James's son".

"Could be powered by an object weighing 1,600 pounds" not "we need this much matter-energy conversion". In any event... coming up with the power system is just a little engineering. We're talking on very, very human scales, here, all the sudden. It's getting the physics right that's the hard part, and it sounds like…

I don't care what the technical error was... why the hell do we need this information presented to us as virtual flash cards? In what way is that improving anyone's ability to grasp the situation? This isn't a failure of some software engineer... it's a failure of the news team and the editor who should've had a user…

It's sort of hypnotic to listen to...

Appears to be more of a balloon than a kite, no?

It's outdated when all the software being released for it no longer runs as intended. But, hey, if you're happy with your 3GS, far be it from me to tell you to upgrade. I just figure you should probably show everyone else who does upgrade the same courtesy.

Yeah... Buddhism has its fair share of nutty... they're just better about not making grand gestures of it like Christianity does, and in any case, this isn't Christianity, this is sociopathy.

It's Apple's doing that they and their developers are developing for their latest technology instead of worrying about the speed on your two year old phone, I suppose... but that's hardly something anyone could fault them for. I'm just saying... upgrading to the latest phone is hardly something that could be classed…

A small point... the CIA is responsible to the President via the d/CIA and the Director of National Intelligence. It's not true to say that the CIA is responsible to no one.

Yeah, and now your phone makes pace roughly equivalent to a car on cinderblocks.

Uh, people who want to be able to update their apps?

There's a case to be made for telling rape jokes because people like Lindy West don't want us to.

Notably, you're totally wrong. Press releases announcing the termination of major executives almost always make it sound like a mutual parting of ways. This way the company avoids opening itself up to litigation. It's just poor form to call a termination a termination at this level.

No, my point is this: You'd like to make excuses for dragging the level of the discourse down with ad hominem while the guy you didn't like was president, and then excoriate people for dragging the level of the discourse down with ad hominem while the guy you do like is president, and you'd like to not be called a…

There is, however, a long and degrading tradition in the US of making fun of people with mental and intellectual challenges and equating them to apes and using demeaning language. You cannot tell me people wouldn't have hashtagged "retard" and "dumbmonkey" after comments about Bush, en masse, if Twitter had been…

Nah, it's totalled. Look at the way it flexes when it lands... there're sheered off frame members between the bogies. The insurance company will write it off, sell the whole thing as scrap, and buy the manganese company a new one. It may be cheaper to fix it, but the insurance company doesn't want to have to insure…

Holy cow, Paddlepickle2.... way to be absolutely, unimpeachably correct.

Well... can you provide examples of use-cases where it *does* actually serve a function other than "it looks cool"?
