Hey, as long as the shot put, hammer throw, and Greco-Roman wrestling require some kind of apparel, I'd be cool with that.

I want the Radio Shack of the 80s back. Really, anything would be better than the abomination it's been turned into.

The implementation of which (if you can call it that) is just as useless as not having one at all. MSFT basically said "fuck you" and gave us a useless little button that doesn't do anything new.

Fail. Enough said.

Too bad it's pretty much amounted to nothing positive thus far. The president hasn't done shit to change anything, congress critters NEVER do shit (except contribute massive amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere), and the general public pretty much doesn't give a shit. Don't get me wrong, Snowden's a hero in my book, but the revelations really haven't had a significant impact on US society as a whole, sad as that may be.

The year of the Linux desktop. But, dammit, 2014 is DEFINITELY going to be THE year!!!

Let's face it...BB is circling the toilet bowl, the Facebook skin was DOA, and the Healthcare.gov launch was a farce. They're all shit...the only difference is the smell.

The dimensions of this moon is only 13.4 × 11.2 × 9.2 km. Pretty tiny, it seems to me, for a planet the size of Mars.

Okay, I was wrong...the photo was black and white. It would have been nice if they shot it with a color camera (unless, of course, that's coming later).

Not to take anything away from the orbiter team, but damn...that moon looks almost as exciting as a lump of coal. What a crappy black rock.

I'm not going to comment on whether or not this is a good idea or not. However, I will say that 200 Google employees had to code and test this. That has to be one of the shittiest jobs I can think of. Maybe it could be rewarding in some way, but damn.

I don't deny that (it'd have to be a fairly big RC plane, though). It's the "state-threatening" part I take issue with.

Exactly what I though when I first read TFS. I mean seriously, a bomb-laden RC plane couldn't take out a random balcony. They'd be better off strapping C-4 to a bunch of swallows (European, of course).

Yeah, sounds like fun...a robot that whips my ass at air hockey every single time. What will they come up with next? A robot that chases me down with nunchucks and just beats the shit out of me? Woo hoo!

Absolutely...MOD UP!!! I've been an EMT, and I completely agree with this. I love IT, but if I could be an EMT full-time without having to worry about making money, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
