I generally agree with the above comment. However the people that develop a condition because of a vaccine are certainly worthy of consideration even if they consist of a small group.

Except we've all been trained to press ctrl+s every five minutes and will call tech support when we can't find the little diskette icon.

Are you asking for a challenge?

The fear of prison rape appears to be one of the main reasons to avoid getting jailed. It's quite barbaric the way our society uses sex as punishment.

tl;dr Google Wave failed because it was a glorified chat room.

Legal and fiscal bullying is one of the more common applications of copyright law, apparently.

I watched the video. To me, it isn't completely clear what is being shot down. The craft could be made of wood or paper (or something even more flammable) for all I know. On the one hand it looks impressive and powerful. On the other hand, it's very unclear what we are actually watching.

Driver: Hm, where is my turn...
Michael Dorn GPS: Prepare to turn right.
Driver: But there's no exit here....

It's your contention that we're over there to free these people from their miserable lives? You are misinformed.

Haven't not actually read up on Consumer Reports' review of the device (not getting an iPhone) I can't say for certain, but it seems to me like consumer reports is an organization dedicated to rigorously testing consumer goods. Performing scientific testing and then reporting on it isn't an anecdote.

In light of yesterday's article about cognitive dissonance, it is not surprising they think that the 400 dollars they spent is well worth it. I think I will take Consumer Reports word for it over an engineers anecdotes.

I was watching the Scyfy channel at my fiance's parent's house (why else?) and saw this idea represented in a ridiculous drama called Eureka. They even called it Nemesis. This article reads like it was ripped right from the show. Admittedly I don't know who took what from who, but I find the idea completely foolish.

Because no one is going to get a medal for being in the bystanders video, but they just might get prosecuted.

That's the meme anyway.

"...how you're looking at it?"

"Well, if you play the tape in reverse you see us help King up and send him on his way."

Apologies, Mr. Hicks.

I think there is currently some space on my left testicle that is not under legal dispute.
