Engadget. It's the classier, more popular version of Gizmodo.

What about the Mac in 1984, with its mouse driven GUI? Even Windows 7 borrows quite a bit from Mac OS X.

I always liked Earthsiege 2 because I felt it was even more focused on building your mech, and piloting it. Much less like a shooters with robot, and more like a "Mech Sim". Also as the campaign progressed you assembled you built new stronger mechs from the scrap captured, it was sweet.

The most expensive hotels, are the ones most likely to have for-pay wifi. At rates of like $10-$15 an order of magnitude more expensive then a wireless or landline connection for your house. Does anyone know a good pre-pade type 3G data provider?

This guy shopped around stolen property to find the highest bidder after making a feeble attempt to "return" it. I don't have much sympathy for whatever happens to the guy.

You aren't only paying for that 45 minutes you are paying for the assurance that you didn't miss anything or make any mistakes in the calculations. If you have a medium complexity return TurboTax can auto-import all of W-2's and 1099's and do all the calculations for you. For some people that assurance is worth it.

Sounds like you need to manage your funds a little better by creating a budget and work with your wife to stick to it. Also by paying off your loans as slowly as possibly you are loosing out in the long run. The faster you pay them off, the less interest you pay and the lower your total payout will be.

But in this case you are just using the legal system in the worst possible way: To screw someone out of a legitimate outcome. If you were fighting an illegal ticket, or something the company legitimately did wrong it would make more sense.

Billions of dollars of finely crafted hardware will just gather dust in a museum or rust in an outside rocket yard. Its what happened to perfectly functional Apollo hardware, its what will happen to the shuttles.

Yes but the Woz case is possible bug in the cruise control software, not the accelerator.

How did you learn of the device? Do you know its power output? Radio drops off really fast, so it's completely possible that its signal strength is less in your apartment then all of your neighbors WiFi.

What is important for construction is the load before the metal begins to yield. If the material yields very early, it doesn't matter how well it snaps back into shape, because it you won't actually be able to build a structure out of the stuff. Just look at some plastics, they are very springy, but try make anything out of the them, and the entire structure starts to flex and sway.

Short version: A material actually needs some stiffness to be practical

It only has a 30 mile range and gets just 0.5 hours of flight time with its 5 gallons of fuel. Not exactly the best commute vehicle. Source: http://www.martinjetpack.com/technical-information.aspx
