Shit. I just had one of those realisations that I'm properly middle aged.

I was reading this 'review' of a guy vaguely dabbling in Doom and it was annoying me. A proper 'you young people, you don't understand' moment. Doom was fucking mind blowing at the time.

Those 10,000 have already demonstrated that they'll buy any old shit, provided it's shiny, though. Very desirable marketing demographic.

There are software packages and appropriate cables available to let you deal with OBD on a laptop for peanuts. From what I've seen it's superior even to what the main dealers tend to have. I agree that, if anything, modern OBD makes it far easier to troubleshoot electric issues. I've been chasing a misfire on my early 80's Porsche 928 for weeks now!

At the height of the blaster outbreak a few UK ISPs cut off blaster infected PC's and redirected to a 'clean up your PC' page.

Your friends are foolish. This is precisely the sort of movie that it's worth going to the cinema for. Myself and friends watch a lot of torrented movies but we also go to the cinema regularly. It's not the fault of torrents; they are a good thing for real movie fans.

So the accelerometer set up you propose would cost about the same as the wiimote only they'd have to build it from scratch and write some software for it? Plus, why would you want to process the data on board? You're not doing anything with it immediately. I see your point about the camera though. What res are wiimote cameras?

Not really anymore. I don't know about the Abrahms but we've only lost one Challenger 2 and that was to FF from another Challenger 2. One near Basra took ~70 RPG hits and only sustained fairly minor damage. If I had to be sent to Iraq I'd take being a tank jockey over wandering around as a foot soldier any day.

Lab rats, like pet fancy rats, are smaller and less aggressive than their wild cousins. They'd be much more likely to be killed by than bred with any wild rats they meet.

Don't be daft. They used rats because they're a standard experimental animal not because they want to make some kind of super rodents. Research it rats is often applicable in other species; like humans.

It's the only one that guarantees a limitless supply of impressionable, hot, goth chicks.

While being an idiot he's obviously not so stupid that he doesn't realise that he's an idiot. Hence the self restriction. If more of the worlds idiots followed his example the internet would be a better place.

We use superconductors for energy storage on earth. The refrigeration is not the limiting factor nor is it the most expensive part of the whole design. I don't see why they'd be any more useful on the moon really.

It's lucky in one sense that this guy was just an immature asshole. He's obviously pretty good at manipulating people over the phone. He could probably have got away with some more high impact crimes. Luckily now he's just going to go to jail for some relatively minor stuff.
