True - except that many of those 77 million people likely used the same password here as they did for those forums or for other sites. And that's where the real headache will be - and one of the best arguments in recent memory for proper password discipline.

The Air Force deserved to get one of the shuttles, even if it was the Enterprise. We still have the Apollo 15 CM, though - and that's something.

From a technical standpoint, looking at benchmarks and the like? It probably doesn't matter so much. The extra buttons certainly help, if the mouse is well-designed. But I'll tell you this - if I feel more confident because the mouse I'm using cost $80 instead of $20, then I'm going to play better. And that might be worth it.

The entire point of DUI checkpoints is not to actually arrest the drunk drivers dumb enough to pull up. The point is to show that, if you do drive drunk, big angry men with guns will arrest you. This is why they announce the checkpoints beforehand - check your paper or local news website, you'll find an article announcing checkpoints a day or two before they go up. It's not investigative, it's (supposed to be) a deterrent.

Hell, Indiana had a series of billboards - nothing but the image of an orange traffic sign that said "Drunk Driving Checkpoint Ahead". Of course, the billboards were everywhere, and there was no actual checkpoint - but again, it's (supposed to be) a deterrent.

If police forces do not want people knowing about the checkpoints, they should not announce them publicly. If it's a matter of the public record, then they can't fault an app for aggregating that public record.

Nonsense. 640 should be enough for anyone.

Seems to me that not taking a mercury-based substance is a good outcome, regardless of the other shenanigans.

I mean, who ever expected that Skynet would speak Chinese?

I'd love to see if her opponent pulls the trigger on an ad making light of this. "Jerry Brown is ready to make the tough choices. He's ready to fix the broken state government. His opponent, on the other hand... (cue tutu guitar man)"

...If this DotA gets as stats-oriented as Heroes of Newerth, for example, then I can only imagine what'll happen when someone disconnects and the AI takes over for them - and promptly feeds, or pushes solo, or wanders off to farm neuts for the rest of the game, or whatever else it can do to screw the team. This style of game takes a lot of decision-making - targets, farm, push/no push, cc, etc. I don't think an AI can really pull it off properly.

Not to be outdone, an Ohio State CS Professor had his class change the logo of the Federal Election Commission to a Buckeye urinating on a Michigan Wolverine.
