In Soviet Russia, meme reposts you.

I'm dying to know what (assumedly mobile) OS is autocorrecting you An this way. :)

So you're saying cops shouldn't be responsible for the crimes they commit because it's inconvenient?

Oh, come on, "It's broken" is perfectly accurate! Not terribly precise, but definitely accurate!

On the website, there's a picture of the item in question, but I'm not convinced that's the light saber he's looking for.

Those that appoint him.

This sort of approach really does get you the best of both worlds: you get to sign the agreement so you get all the backscratching that entails, and you get to publicly decry it, so you get the support of your constituents!

Politicking 101

"Jemison Starship" just doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

I just want to say I'm really glad that it visibly spins. If it were just a funny looking sphere sitting there that made noises, this would more or less all be for naught. But since it actually spins while it makes noises, you can tell that real science is being done. I'm not saying it couldn't use a few concentric rings, each spinning on its own axis, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.

You've clearly been paying a lot of attention to the protestors. It's not as if they're calling out Obama just as much as every other bought-and-paid-for politician.

Yeah, it downloaded just fine, but it chokes during the pre-install backup phase. My phone is pretty full (iPhone 4, 32GB model, about 30GB full) so that part takes a while. I've gone through all the support steps to no avail. Bleh.

This week on "techsupportslashdot"

I'm definitely not doing any funny dns business, and I test at 28Mbps according to speediest.net. I'm running a fully-updated 10.7 and iTunes is up to date as well. And yet still, the update fails reliably. I dunno, could just be me, but when I tried to setup iCloud I kept getting timeouts from the appleid.apple.com servers.

Good luck actually getting it or transitioning to iCloud or anything. Their servers seem to be swamped and unresponsive.

I suggest waiting a day or two just so you have a smoother upgrade process.

This notion of not destroying muscle memory through similar but opposite motions is really important!

For instance, I often turn right with my car. Doing so involves turning the steering wheel clockwise until the car is going the direction I want. However, I often have to turn left, and doing so involves a motion that is precisely the opposite of turning right.

Dear Slashdot: is there a car that will allow me to turn both right and left by only turning the steering wheel to the right? Alternately, a car that turns right from a counter-clockwise turn of the wheel, and then I'll just use whichever car is appropriate for the turning I will be making, such that I am only ever turning the wheel in one direction. Either solution would be fine: I'm a pretty flexible guy.

TIA!
