Too soon for a new wave of Tokyo-eating monsters? ..in the movies, I mean.

Can we skip the name calling in favor of some references, please?

Stupid git...

How many people work at the NSA? How many of them are involved in eavesdropping programs aimed at US citizens? Why don't we just make it easier and brand all government employees? Or all Americans?

Exception in thread "Siri" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space...

What a great idea! While we're at it we can ban talking loudly in libraries, putting your elbows on the table, slurping your soup, driving too slow, bland conversation, and so on. Think of how much we could improve peoples' lives and how grateful they will be come election day!

...how very long a time the federal government would put me in jail if *I* got caught doing this.

Costs extra if you want the half acre to be roughly horizontal and have electricity and water to the site.

"That's great Jim, you got it to hold pressure at sea level! Now make it work at 10,000 feet."

I'm doing just that with our dishwasher as we're on wicked-hard well water. Sears keeps asking about the fridge, but they haven't canceled on the washer yet. Might try Sears next time you get a washer.

Yes, we all know Nebraska state grants are a never ending gravy train, so they need never again worry about pissing off the powers that be at the federal level. ;-)

You study whether there are period inputs into global temperature, identify the most prominent, if any, and report what you find be it good, bad, or ugly. Are they seriously saying *every* study that examines inputs besides man-made warming is biased and political? This sounds like a much more slanted perspective than "please take my money to consider other inputs as well."

Who said anything about parties?

I was trained in college as a HW guy, did a few boards and ASICs, and now I'm a SW guy. Hardware is increasingly done in ASIC's / programmable gate arrays, and PLD's which are now written in programming languages like Verilog and VHDL. It's much like software, but massively parallel. With machines coming with more and more cores now, the differences are shrinking rapidly. The real difference is that it costs hundreds of $k to compile the final package in silicon. ;-)
