Above comment is historical. As is this one by the time you read it. Don't you get it man?! We're MAKING HISTORY RIGHT NOW. WE ARE GODS. People will look back on this in 20 years in amazement on how we stuck it to the man and freed the internets from tyranny of government!

I don't think you've been to that part of the internet yet.

Instead of wireless enabled fruit, device is actually just some plastic and electronic bits. I was under the impression this device would be concealed in a pineapple for stealth hacks. (Nobody suspects the fruit with an antenna)

A++ Good Recipe.
Tastes Like Chicken

Since when? I thought the agreement was the editors wouldn't edit, readers wouldn't rtfa, and we would all collect our pay at the end of the day.

The time machine

You should probably stop being offended on the internet and read a few history books regarding the WWII atomic bombs; particularly the stance taken by Japanese leaders in the face of defeat prior to the bombing.

Subscription television has always confused me. I thought the idea was that if you subscribed to a service, you could avoid advertisements that subsidized the free services. Yet for TV you pay for the privilege of watching a network's advertisements. I gave up watching TV over a decade ago, so my eyeballs aren't monetizing anything.

Is there a financial reason behind this, or do they just want to double-dip for more cash?

Thats because we only have "summer" and "wet summer", it kind of makes the measurement somewhat vague.

..Ok fine, so it did hit 8 degrees this morning, but it's 18-20 during the day which would be considered a warm spring day for some parts of the US.

Wouldn't the abundance of a semi-scarce highly useful industrial product be a net gain for society? Malleable, resistant to corrosion, excellent conductivity, low melting point. Not obtaining more of a useful material in order to maintain scarcity seems counter-productive.

If the hardware struggles to just run the OS, I think "gaming machine" is the wrong way to describe it. In which case, running the few linux compatible games made available on steam (lots of multi-platorm low spec indie games,) would probably be the upper boundary anyway.

More realistically it was a low spec machine with a ton of bloatware from the OEM, had he done a clean install of the OS, it would have likely run fine.

I believe we should translate as we would read it out. One Times (size of earth) as 1x earth = same size as earth.

I'm afraid "Simulating applause through an electronic device" is patented, you owe me royalties.

What the fuck is WTF

I saw the title text and thought the census data was being provided through bittorrent. A few games including the popular World of Warcraft distribute their updates through the protocol, seeing it adopted in other areas to reduce the bandwidth costs seems like a good idea.
