You may be right. Bring back Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Hear hear. Some of my favorite episodes are those that present a moral quandary that at first seems obvious, but then end up with an ambiguous resolution that leaves you thinking. It makes me suspect that those who state that Star Trek has always been "pushing social boundaries" weren't really paying attention. I never got the impression that the show had a political agenda beyond showing what would happen if we put our differences aside and worked together for once. Can't we all just get along? (The answer is "no.")

After Google Stadia went tits up, the writing's been on the wall for Luna. If this turns out to be the first death knell for the service, I'm not surprised.

Game streaming is an odd market position to fill because hardcore gamers will already own a capable system and won't enjoy the added latency and compression of a game stream, while casual gamers are already happy with playing crap on their phones. So what's left are those gamers who can't afford a system, but they aren't going to have much money to spend on games anyways. At best, they can only hope to provide a subscription service with just enough content to keep customers interested while also trying to keep the cost of renting time on a remote gaming PC to a minimum.

If you think about it, this is kind of like a virtual gaming cafe... except you don't get the side revenue of selling drinks and snacks. It's awfully hard to see how they can make money from this.

I think his point was that as stated in the headline, they didn't make the oxygen; it was already there. They're just freeing it from its chemical bonds.

Pedantic, I know, but it's true.

That would be only 454 22TB drives, so at 670 grams each that would only be around 670 pounds of hard drives occupying 10,830 cubic inches or 178L of space.

That could easily fit into 4-5 backpacks if you're okay with your party moving at half speed due to being overburdened.

Oh good, more surveillance software disguised as a crowdsourced public resource. Is anyone fooled by this stuff anymore?

I was thinking the same. I did this in the early 2000s with an old 486, except it was dialing out with a 56k modem. It was running a Junkbuster proxy to filter out ads. Amazing that I was able to do that with 33MHz.

I'm still using my Kindle 3. It's still working fine, with the original battery and everything.

I don't let it connect to the Internet and really don't care if Amazon still supports it.

It has pretty limited mods though. I was able to get shell access but you can't do much with it. What's the most mod-friendly e-reader?

I'm in the same boat, I just assumed it was quietly discontinued and never to be spoken of again.

Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said. "One can't believe impossible things."

"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said Google. "Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

Change the headline to read "Equivalent to thirteen Chevy Sparks!"

But I don't want to use Google Messages. Is there a decent alternative? I just use it for SMS, nothing else.

It's hard to do much with a single panel and only a few hundred pixels, but political cartoons? That's a pretty low bar... Usually you can at least draw silly caricatures of politicians, but this is just a mouse with some lame punditry. That's not even very impressive ANSI art.

Reminds me of this old fossil: https://www.penny-arcade.com/c...

Be careful what you wish for, there end up being a pipeline from the great lakes to water lawns in Arizona.

Those scientists are always baffled, stunned, shocked, or bewildered. Can they get anything right?
