This... and unfortunately, we live in a society now where every vile act is held up and shown to everyone. People looking to "go out with a bang" now have a theater to demonstrate their prowess. If we didn't cover every one of these acts like the OJ case, criminals wouldn't be seeking the attention and fame that comes with mass killings. If this story was a heading in the local paper without names or only the names of the victims... I'd bet that copycat criminals would be far less likely to do it again.

In case anyone is interested:

The mosaic being released today by the mission and the imaging team, in celebration of the 2012 holiday season, does not contain Earth; along with the sun, our planet is hidden behind Saturn. However, it was taken when Cassini was closer to Saturn and therefore shows more detail in the rings than the one taken in 2006.

...and reserve my gas burning vehicle for ... various other cargo needs

For my daily commute, I need enough space for me and my laptop. A motorcycle would do, except for that whole being exposed to the elements thing. A reverse trike is the next step up from that, and it wouldn't require special operating procedures, laws, or balance at low speeds. I'd be willing to bet there's a large market of daily commuters that would also fit that bill.

Comment Re:LOve the game, hate the real money bullshit (Score 1) 157

I really want to love Borderlands 2 but each and every expansion they've offered is the same story treadmill with it's own brand new currency (Eridium, Torgue Tokens, Seraph Crystals... because the in game money isn't good enough?) and blanket template that were farmed out to another company just to kick out content. None of them so far have equated to the fun I had with General Knoxx or Dr. Ned's.

I truly feel ripped off with the season pass purchase and it will be a hard sell to get me to buy into BL3.
