Yeah, totally, except... no. http://imgur.com/hVRB7Zl

Any voting system that can be hacked should be hacked. We need to see fictional characters elected to every office in the land until people figure out the results for real people have been cooked all along.

Yeah. That's definitely the most likely outcome of a rapid decline in the only source of cheap, dense, portable fuel.

Seriously, an ass recognition system would break the first time it was introduced to WOMEN! OHH!

Now all those impoverished kids whose lives can be revolutionized by a $25 pc can watch TED Talks and Khan Academy on... their... HDMI... TV's....

I just saw you guys in Nashville. You look fantastic. It's impossible to believe you've been rocking out for as long as I've had a full-color range of vision. How are you both so amazingly well preserved?

Modern inks and papers are acid-based and will not last as long as they used to. I recommend multiple backup options. For photos and videos, keeping a copy somewhere online is a good idea, and for your local storage do what I do - refresh your drives every couple years. I've got almost 20 years worth of archives on a drive I replaced in June. I'll be replacing it again a June or two from now.

It doesn't matter how long you've watched Star Wars or how much you loved the original series. Anyone who still finds anything of value in the series after I, II and III is a loser in denial. You can't ignore the bad films, their taint is all over the originals. Then yeah, you've got lazy lard ass picking your pockets with constant re-releases of the "classics" only finding new ways to jerk them around. Just think "midichloreans" every time Obi Wan opens his mouth. It's still there. Stop worshiping this travesty, accept that it's terrible and get on with your lives. (And I say this as someone who fought flame wars over the right to be the only Han Solo on local Wildcat BBS's.)

I'm not looking forward to my data cap at all, but I am glad I renewed my contract last December. I get to keep my unlimited data plan until Dec 2012 and then we'll just see what happens.

Wait until the robot CAN tweet, THEN give it a Twitter account.

Can I call it SysOp day? Is that OK with everyone? It's inaccurate, but so is SysAdmin day. (for NetAdmins, anyway.)

Rocket...?! You tell people I'm a ROCKET scientist?? You might as well tell them I'm a toll-taker on the Golden Gate Bridge! ... rocket scientist. hmmph!

They were waiting for me to tune in. I realized I was late to catch the feed, tried it anyway and the clock was stopped. They resumed within seconds of my feed buffering.

Exactly. Way to rip off a great idea without bothering with any of that bothersome methodology.

I have Comcast. Can't get to TPB, works fine through warpproxy.
