On a side note, it's sad that they exploding Pinto myth continues to be perpetuated. The Ford Pinto was just as safe (or just as dangerous) as every other average car on the road at that time. The urban legend of how deadly the Pinto was really needs to die in an exploding ball of fire.

Yes, LEGO can be used in multiple ways, but the markup on formed plastic chunks is insane.

Most likely the majority of those floppy disks will have issues. Magnetic media doesn't last forever.

Canada = 1.4-1.8/100k

U.S. = 4.7-6.6/100k

It's amazing how some people will defend the American way of life while being completely blind to the American way of death.

We don't let people work crazy hours because it allows employers to take advantage of the desperate, poor, and ignorant.

Tight labour laws are not something to be feared.

Sounds like a good opportunity to utilize the Oculus Rift. Trick the brain into thinking they are on a beach on Earth for a few hours. Have custom programs within a virtual environment. It would be almost like Holodeck v.1.0. (now, let the Oculus/Facebook jokes commence)

If you are going to title your post "Enough of the stupidity", you may want to educate yourself about DST first.
DST takes an hour of sunlight in the morning and moves it to the evening. Here in Toronto, the longest day of the year (June 21) has the sunrise at 4:30am and sunset at 8pm under STANDARD time. Under DST, that becomes a 5:30am sunrise and 9pm sunset.

This has nothing to do with school kids. This is all about shifting our clocks so that we have more sunlight during our awake hours. When we switch to DST in March, sunrise shifts from 6:40am to 7:40am. Sunset shifts from 6:15pm to 7:15pm. It works out very well. So why don't we stay in DST?

Well, on the shortest day of the year (Dec 21) sunrise is 7:48am and sunset is 4:44pm. DST would give us a 8:48am sunrise. DST during the winter would be really frickin' depressing.

Although, to be fair, Saskatchewan here in Canada is perpetually in DST time. They've aligned their time zone permanently with one zone to the east. Their sunrise on Dec 21 is almost 9am!

Should I even both installing it? With Google's track record, I'm sure this one will be dead within a couple years.

How is a firmware update not support? How would you define support?

Who pays the cost to fix old, out-of-date drivers and firmware? Is HP supposed to do it out of the goodness of their heart? At what point do they stop patching problems? An easy metric is how many support contracts they have in place for a specific piece of hardware. And the people who do pay for ongoing support shouldn't have to be subsidizing those who don't want to pay.

Earth is already a spaceship. The problem is, we have no control over where it's going.

If you had actually read the article, it's not about gravity's pulling on the eyeball. It's about brain fluids putting pressure on the back of the eyeball.

It's all locked down hard until someone finds the key: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25550512

False. The original IBM PC design was NOT open. Other companies reverse engineered the BIOS and created 'clones' - hence the term 'PC clone'. Some early clones had hardware compatibility issues with the original IBM PC design.

So...when is a Muslim not just a Muslim? When he's a fundamentalist Muslim?

If you are going to state the those doing the killings are "not just Muslims", it's usually best to give an example of others doing killings as well who aren't Muslims.
