Viva the pastafarians, viva the giant spaghetti monster!

What a S T U P ID reply. What is the orientation of the connectors in the back of a computer? In a random USB hub? Why the need to look for the logo when the shape of the connector could convey the correct orientation? (or even better, be orientation neutral). Do they pay you to use your brain in your work, or just brute force?

Is the fact that the standard USB connection (rectangle) is not really 180 degrees symmetric (despite a shape that indicates it should be), usually takes 3+ attempts to get it in. Damn it, Jim, a spin-1/2 connector!

Mod parent up! LOL

Took about 30 min to build by a 11 year old. Mechanism is nice, looks nice too. Played with it for 10 minutes and then it is now on the shelf (a nice ornament ready to show to some friends). Overall I really liked it. Reasonable price too (though I found it for $15 on a chinese site).

Source?

Considering the very small number of tesla's out there, I would say the safety record is thin. Yes, other manufacturers had their problems, but with a baseline of MILLIONS of cars, their safety record is not so bad. It is always a matter of ratios.

Well... programmers seems to be among the worst...

The comparison is absolutely nonsense. When you write a book you almost always start from scratch, so yes... errors can creep in on book 10^9 at the same rate as on book 10^0. When you write code that is an update to an old software, you re-use a lot of the old code. So, there is no excuse for that.

I mean, it is a MAIL program, not a revolutionary new product. The protocols have been out there for years (esp. IMAP). Why is it still buggy? Even worse: why is it buggier than the previous version? If it worked before THERE IS NO F*ING EXCUSE FOR IT NOT TO WORK NOW. Very very very lame.

Several years ago I used to run my desktop in linux (slackware!). Later distros started to look more and more like windows. Only took a few iterations until I got tired of that crap (seemed all programmers now think like microsoft programmers, !@#$!@#$%%!$%). Now I run linux back-ends and my desktops are OSX, never looked back.

You really don't know much chemistry, do you?

From the wiki on Fuel: "Fuels are any materials that store potential energy in forms that can be practicably released and used as heat energy. The concept originally applied solely to those materials storing energy in the form of chemical energy that could be released through combustion,[1] but the concept has since been also applied to other sources of heat energy such as nuclear energy (via nuclear fission or nuclear fusion), as well as releases of chemical energy released through non-combustion oxidation (such as in cellular biology or in fuel cells)."

Given that the article is about methane, fuel clearly refers to a material that can be oxidized to release energy. Without an oxidizer, the presence of methane would be useless for this use.

With a small atmospheric pressure and small concentration of O2, having a FUEL source would also seem pointless.

Not at all! You could always keep your old OS in your computer. The "great innovation" of apple is to FORCE YOU TO UPGRADE if you need to reinstall the OS, whether you like it or not. They do it simply by not signing the old OS anymore. Then voila, your formerly perfectly adequate phone has become slow and useless.

I also moved to android some 6 months ago. I really appreciate that they do not try to force anything on you (well, if you exclude spying...). I have since ditched an iphone and an ipad, and have a nexus4 and a galaxy note 8.0. Do not miss the iOS way of doing business.

And how do YOU know for sure it really needs "living tissue"? How living? Does it have to be pulsating or just not dried up or rotten? Will a finger chopped off a few minutes ago still work? (yes, there are stories out there of "secure" boxes being broken into by a chopped-off finger).

Even more important: do the crooks know that it works only with "living tissue" (even if true)? Or will they chop off your finger just in case?

Just give them the finger, LOL!
