Automaker's promise to Bugler412: Rest assured, your data is safe* with us.

We promise to record all data in your car's on-board computer. We will then have that data automatically downloaded to our servers when you get your car serviced. No need to remove or shield the antenna, besides that would just void the warranty.

* For values of safe as defined in your Tire Pressure Monitor EULA section 18, part t, paragraph 63.

If the Pope is (according to the Catholic Church) the infallible representative of God on this earth, then logically now, how can two popes say two different things?

If you want to argue about papal infallibility it's probably wise that you understand papal infallibility and ex cathedra before uttering idiotic statements like what I quoted.

To paraphrase: If you want to argue about jibberish, it is probably wise that you understand the jibberish whereof you speak, otherwise you may sound like you are speaking jibberish.

You gotta admire the chutzpah. Even as they are saying to the FCC that they can be trusted with the authority to be the gatekeepers of the Internet, they put on a public display of their intent to inhibit public policy debate on the very issue of Net Neutrality itself.

It's not chutzpah, this just shows you just how solidly they have the political system locked up. They have the politicians and regulators so firmly bought and paid for that they are not worried about those stooges one tiny bit, D or R. Good hell, they're even going after Attorneys General with lobbyists to stifle lawsuits.

The radicalized Brits returning home would be free radicals, right? Aren't free radicals good for your health or something?

Actually, your description is apropos. Free Radicals cause cancer, and I can't think of a more fitting metaphor for radical Islam than it is a cancer with its adherents causing it to spread.

Fusion Reactor Concept Could Be Cheaper Than Coal

What does the headline mean "could be"? This concept is cheaper than a coal plant right now; it cost them almost nothing next to a real coal plant. Now constructing one ... that's a different story.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.

It seems like viruses and exploits are getting names like rock bands.

I went to VirusPalooza!!! The headliners were ShellSHOCK and Heartbleed. They were great. Also saw a bunch of others: Viruses from yesteryear like Wabbit and Creeper System, awesome viruses from the '80s CyberAIDS, Festering Hate Apple ProDOS, and Ghostball, modern stars like Stuxnet and CryptoLocker, and who could forget Y2K?!?

However, the engineer in me can't help but think of how far they can take the cyborg theme.

Are you kidding me? Imagine having one that you could just strap on for an hour, get on a treadmill, and then read a book or surf the net while your legs did their thing. I'd exercise everyday.
