A good Sci-Fi should be philsopjical in nature. Asking questions about life in the Universe, our place in it, etc. This is why Star Trek is good Sci-Fi and Star Wars is a good space adventure (but not Sci-Fi). In my mind, the best Sci-Fi ever put to screen is Blade Runner.

We are a Dyn customer and our names are still failing to resolve.

Tesla, has the battery tech has improved has offered upgrades. If the cars are designed with modular electronic components there is no reason the computers, sensors, and batteries couldn't be kept current to extend the life of the vehicle and shore up the resale value.

I think Sci-Fi should have a basis in the science and I think the best sci-fi asks philosophical and moralistic questions. For those reasons, I think Star Trek is "better", but I love watching both.

By the time the pipeline is built, Washington will be dry as well: http://kuow.org/post/drought-d...

That is a horrible idea. There is a reason we have a secret ballot, and no receipts, to make sure now one is forced to vote a particular way. Was no thought given to this idea at all?

When all out electronic devices are online, will North Korea be able to turn off all our refrigerators and spoil a whole nations worth of food as easily as it stole Sony Pictures digital assets?

This is just like every time software asks you, "are you sure?" before deleting a file or record.

Many of the people voted by calling a phone number that bills them. In my mind these people paid for a vote. If the vote was lost, they never got what they paid for. Will The Voice be reimbursing people if their vote was lost or otherwise not used?

Who can we hold responsible for the piece of crap known as Unity?

We have several hundred HP servers running Intel, and we do get the occasional bad processor. I'm sure HP would rather just send us a replacement processor, like they do now, rather than having to send a whole new motherboard.

I'm looking forward to the day when you can stumble out to your car drunk and/or high, and just let it drive you home.

Early in the outage (1st hr), I was looking at http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/godaddy.com.html and it was able to still ping godaddy.com (I'm assuming the IP was still cached), but it had, as I remember, 3000ms+ ping times. To me, this lends a little credence to the DDOS claims, but it is not definitive.

I was the one to my the "Anonymous Coward" comment because I was too lazy to login, but I'm not too lazy to back my post up with facts, especially when a dumbass would rather mock the poster than actually address what was said. Here is the Tech Crunch article where they admit their mistake and stop blaming Anonymous: http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/10/godaddy-outage-takes-down-millions-of-sites/ Here is where the person taking credit says it was not Anonymous, but a solo act: https://twitter.com/AnonymousOwn3r/status/245227793334546432 Anything relevant you would like to add, kaizendojo? Or just more worthless snark?
