Facebook will also track your progress in Softball games using GPS and your last location on the field, if you've opted in to the Facebook Knows Where You Are at All Times product, to generate a notification when it thinks you've crossed a base or home.

Quoting S.R. Hadden (from Contact): "First rule in government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price?"
yes but does it have Jesus?
Space Jesus.

Who are downloading things w/o paying for them! Seriously, isn't that all the FBI really cares about these days - protecting copyright holders?
Whoa whoa whoa... We know that for sure now? With real quantifiable evidence, that I can see without a paywall? I musta slept through that part of the newcast... Somebody clue me in...
The chimps have already figured out how to get past the paywall.
experiments that depend on measuring problem solving and it's interaction with the brain have never really been better from smarter creatures
Citation needed. We gave our dog an intelligence test - put a treat under a paper cup and see if he's smart enough to move the cup and get the treat. Dog looked at me waiting for a signal, as soon as I said "OK" he knocked the cup over with his paw and grabbed the treat. Tried the test with our goldfish; he just flopped around on the floor.

What did one lab rat say to the other? I've got my scientist so well trained that every time I push the buzzer, he brings me a snack
I'm pretty sure that any parents with young children know how this works.
They never say anything about floating seats in the EU. Maybe they assume all the corpses floating around will suffice?
Old joke about a forced water "landing", said in heavy German accent, ends like this: Pilot: "Those passengers that can swim, make your way to the life rafts. Those passengers that cannot swim, thank you for flying Lufthansa airlines."
The summary implies (by omission) that congestion for Comcast customers hasn't improved since Netflix paid off Comcast. What're they getting for their money?
A direct line to the Comcast 2nd tier support desk?
Sure 4k might be great, but what shows, what viewing experience, will really be enhanced by this? House of Cards? I'm not sure. It's like TV stations boasting that they have the News in high-def. It's the fucking News. Some of the best high-def episodes I've seen have been on the show Nature on PBS and I imagine that the viewing experience of nature, adventure and science-fiction shows will be enhanced -- Defying Gravity looks great up-scaled to high-def -- but other shows... eh.
I met my wife in 1985 when I was 22 and she was 41. I was still in college getting a BSCS and she was a high school English teacher, recently divorced for a second time. We dated until I graduated in 1987 (and got a real job), then I moved in with her and we got married in Dec 1989, in our home with about 15 people attending our "cocktail party and wedding". We were very happily together until she died of a brain tumor in Jan 2006, just 7 weeks after diagnosis. (I haven't dated anyone since.)
I've always said. If you don't want something leaked on the internet. Don't store it on the internet. Be it nude selfies or anything else.
Though it would be nice to live in a world where people (or, in this case, asshats) didn't take things that didn't belong to them and/or access things they weren't given access to - yada, yada, yada - that's why we can't have nice things. In the end, honesty and integrity is all we really have. Ya, that's all naive sentiments, but they're something we all should strive for.
