How many Microsoft Engineers does it take to change a lightbulb? None. They just redefine darkness as the new standard.

Can you remember when this started?

Aww snap! $250 cell phone bill from overages in data usage.

Who cares if it's Torrents or running your own porn site. Don't block it. Be the non-evil medium of transport, not another Comcrap.

So long as it isn't made my machinima.com, I would agree.

World of Warcraft: Queued for Greatness

I swear to god if they do dailies of farming, I'll /ragequit the movie and punch the guy at the ticket counter.

I'd get the tattoo only if it goes on my hand or forehead. Can you hear Jerry Falwell & his type screaming yet?

That annihilate a few city blocks when two cars collide.

60 million requests? how?

Since you're on Slashdot, like me, you have no life and you probably eat lunch sitting at your desk with crap on your hands. I have no need to smear all that over my monitor. With tablets and phones, it's ok because you can grab a corner of your shirt and clean it off. I'm not going to flash my monitor to wipe off my burger grease.

It was so classy. I'm sure it would help with the theater owners concession sales as well.

Valid point. A solar powered fleet would limit travel to daylight hours - not just twilight but sun-overhead daylight. East-bound travel would have to start and finish within a short time-span mid-winter. Adding a fuel backup means adding all the infrastructure necessary to convert fuel into motion in addition to electrical systems used for solar energy. By the time you add all that and the fuel, you've exceeded the weight limit that would allow solar-powered flight.

I would argue that the mountain of choices we have available to us now compared to 100 years ago would account for some the gains in abstract reasoning measurements. 100 year ago: Rabbit A or Rabbit B didn't matter much. The store only had a few brands of any particular product, if they were even branded at all. Today - Shoes: sneakers, loafers, sandals, pumps, flat, Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Nunn Bush, Bass, brown, black, leather, synthetic, Air, laces, straps, etc. We have to choose what we think will suit us best, weight one choice against another hundreds of times per day. We have to weigh the inputs - advertising, peer pressure, style, function, preferences. All of this takes heavy reasoning capabilities.
