I'd welcome our new overlords, but they seem to have already been here for a while.
About all that's left to comment on is Hot Grits, Natalie Portman and griping about there not being a Cowboy Neal choice any more.

he referred to all the black people in the room as 'African Americans'.
Stupidity is not reserved for one nation alone.
Years ago I was in Florida, and was chatting with the hotel clerk when an English guy came in and started chatting as well. After a few moments the clerk said "I can't tell you two apart", meaning our accents.
The english guy and I just look at each other and burst out laughing, due to the fact that I'm white and the he was black.
Don't worry, you can probably rotate this screen also.
Years ago I was shoot a square format film camera (Holga @ 6cm) and when a friend looked at some of my negatives they commented "Why the hell did you rotate the camera for some of your shots????".
The 68008 was discontinued 20 years ago, so this isn't really all that useful even as an educational exercise. Why not pick a current breadboardable, cheap microprocessor and get Linux to run on that? That way, other people can benefit.
Why even bother with hardware. Why not just emulate it?
But then again
Then again why do all that when you could just be watching TV?
Maybe they are intentionally obscure about He to let us think it is air filled or filled with another gas.
Ah
You are standing at the end of a road before a small brick building.
Around you is a forest. A small stream flows out of the building and
down a gully...
xyzzy
Bah
I smell a wumpus
Try some critical thinking
But critical thinking is hard.
And so is taking a step back and re-thinking when multiple people say something is not being correctly reported.
This is not the only article talking about hot air filled balloons. The text is talking about hot air, not matter what the picture is. Even the Loon project web site is not clear about this.
Yet somehow the Wikipedia site happily identifies the balloons as being He filled
Whoever wrote the text that everyone else is quoting screwed up big time, and is totally wrong about these balloons being hot air based. As I stated before, the photos are of classic Helium balloons, and no hot air balloon can do what google is claiming - that is basic physics.
Why do you say they are not hot air balloons? The article is pretty clear they are. You quote do not say otherwise.
Just because it's on the internet doesn't make it correct.
The pictures in the TFA are not of hot air balloons. They are of helium balloons. And engineering wise, no hot air balloon in capable of the stats that google is claiming.
Find a partner and make a baby fast! Your child will be automatically a US citizen. That will child will be your ticket to legal residency in a few years, if you want it later.
Why are you discriminating against gays?
Their own students have already started trying to manipulate global warming by suing their precious alma mater
Take managers out of the equation and work gets done. Pretty simple.
Yes, but what work gets done?
Is it the sexy feature that the dev has been just dying to implement since he/she read about some new language/process/data type de jour?
Or is it fixing the hard to locate bug in deep in the back end that deletes all the users data on seemingly random occurrences (and can be brushed off in dev's opinion as merely an aberration)
Please pick up any courtesy phone in the lobby and read out any and all relevant chapters.
The best part of the listed articles is the picture of the sheriff pointing a gun at the dalek with his finger on the trigger, while two employees stand directly on the other side of the robot!
I'd love to be a fly on the wall when that Sheriff explains to his boss why he unholstered his weapon and handled it the way he did.
And I can't get up.
From the Ars article: Coming soon: Slow, heavy, shrieking, autonomous robot rent-a-cops
Should anybody choose to attack the K5, as opposed to walking briskly away, the unit can react with a shrieking alarm that Stephens described as like "a car alarm but much more intense." That will probably happen shortly after the K5 falls to the ground, unable to right itself, which actually happened during Knightscope's MIT robot demo.
