But more importantly, did you hear the Femen have landed in Paris?!

I've given up. I still occasionally browse the headlines on io9, Lifehacker, Gawker, and some others. But I no longer even attempt to read the comments or contribute. It's just too hard. Commenting shouldn't feel like "you are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike."

Burgess, is that you?

Gawker... *sigh* I remember Gawker. I used to visit several of their sites every day until I could no longer use their comment system.

No pictures, but its true. There are some people who have waived their hands:

Even if a judge knows a better argument a lawyer could be making he cannot step in and help. It's up to the lawyers to present their case as best they can.

Cry "havok" and let LOOSE the support for Linux!

Yes, if by "trouble" you mean some people on Slashdot didn't like it and Microsoft made lots of profit from their decisions.

Cool story, bro.

Which one is more likely?

Eliminating the battery would be great as long as you can manage to make it through your day never getting more than a few inches from a charging station. I envision thousands of miles of charging trays built into every sidewalk, wainscott, chair-rail, railing, escalator, and countertop. You could have hanging charge-lines you could take with you when you cross streets like the overhead power used for trolley-cars.

Or were you thinking they could use mega-capacitors instead of batteries to hold you over for a few seconds while you made a mad dash to the next charging station?
Maybe Slippery-Pete could help you set up a portable battery with just enough juice to get across the street...

Yes, you can. Waterproof the port, allow the conductive to pass through the waterproofed port. Set up a second ground/power pair that is ONLY used to detect when the device is submerged in a conductive medium and use that to disable the other pins avoiding a short circuit.

The metal pins still won't be happy to be submerged in a corrosive salt-water solution but if you rinse it off right away it should be ok.

I eat almost exclusively organic food. I have never thought it was more nutritious and I have never met anyone else who thinks it is more nutritious.

I think I am eating less pesticides. End of story.
I'll bet this 'research' or at least the press being generated by it are being paid for by some "big food" corporation.

He's referring to fans of Twilight erotic fan-fic.
