I quite enjoy how the "mom" in that picture is piss-her-pants excited her son is lying dead on the ground.

I can make a car look real sweet and leave out the engine for you, too. It'd be an awesomely designed car, it just wouldn't function as a car.

I just gotta say - railguns are pretty much my most favorite things *ever*.


Even though a coilgun technically isn't a railgun :(

I don't really see the connection between this and quantum computing. Quantum computing involves the superposition of states of a qubit...this sounds more like the binary method we use in current electronics.

I just tried out Snippets, and I really like the idea, but the UI seemed abominable. I couldn't customize the buttons on the sort bar (All, Authentication, Cocoa, Debut, etc..), and it has practically no support for the languages I use most (LaTeX, Fortran). I'll have to take another look closer to v1.0 :D

Wait, what?! What's all this about "WE MUST PUNISH THE DATA USERS AS OUR NETWORK CANNOT SUPPORT IT!" I would think this new price point would only lead to MORE customers (yay for AT&T) using MORE data, thereby "decimating" the network even more (boo for everyone). Something doesn't follow here, and I'm willing to bet AT&T is lying through their teeth about it.

I'd just like to point out that, while the LHC may not be able to toast a piece of bread, a piece of bread is quite capable of toasting the LHC.

My only reservation with this is how do I get my data back if the Drobo itself breaks? I, admittedly, know very little about RAID technology, but it seems the standard setups would have some method of recovery if the hardware breaks down. The BeyondRaid system has me a little leery as it's proprietary.

Though I have heard the Drobots are amazing little machines, and I'd still undoubtedly buy one if I had the $$$ lying around :P

Seems to me like the geeks are complaining because they won't be allowed to spin their propeller hats as fast anymore. I, for one, welcome the change and our conforming to the standards of EVERY OTHER BRANCH OF MODERN SCIENCE!

Common misconception :) It is my understanding that you have to *fraudulently* deface the coin - like making a nickel look like a quarter - to be considered illegal. I see no fraudulent activity here ^_^

As for 'pulling money from the loop,' how's this different from a savings account? The property owner could have just as easily taken all those coins down to the local bank to deposit them.
