"All right, Unit DNE of the line. Why did you do it? This is your Commander, Unit DNE. Report! Why did you do it? Now, you knew your position was hopeless, didn't you? That you'd be destroyed if you held your ground, to say nothing of advancing. Surely you were able to compute that. You were lucky to have the chance to prove yourself." For a minute I thought old Denny was too far gone to answer. There was just a kind of groan come out of the amplifier. Then it firmed up. General Bates had his hand cupped behind his ear, but Denny spoke right up. "Yes, sir." "You knew what was at stake here. It was the ultimate test of your ability to perform correctly under stress, of your suitability as a weapon of war. You knew that. General Margrave and old Priss Grace and the press boys all had their eyes on every move you made. So instead of using common sense, you waded into that inferno in defiance of all logic—and destroyed yourself. Right?" "That is correct, sir." "Then why? In the name of sanity, tell me why! Why, instead of backing out and saving yourself, did you charge? . . . Wait a minute, Unit DNE. It just dawned on me. I've been underestimating you. You knew, didn't you? Your knowledge of human psychology told you they'd break and run, didn't it?" "No, sir. On the contrary, I was quite certain that they were as aware as I that they held every advantage." "Then that leaves me back where I started. Why? What made you risk everything on a hopeless attack? Why did you do it?" "For the honor of the regiment."

NoScript is your friend.

Yup, first thing that popped in my head. "Can I die from it? "Only if Berlin finds out"

Car makers won't benefit from the rollbacks nor want it. The auto industry is global. Good luck selling your high-powered, dirty emission car outside the US. . It's more 'stick it to the Libs' contrarian policy making

Exactly my feeling as well. We love a good narrative with a flashy website. Investors only have themselves to blame. Whatever happened to. "if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is'?

Very good news indeed. Can't wait!!

Homebrew insulin is no different than homebrew beer/wine from a technical point of view and exist in similar space. There should be no problems in this open-source insulin movement, that is distribute information on how to manufacture it, selling the equipment and raw materials to make it. However, regulators will jump all over it the minute someone tries to sell their finished product or transport it across state lines.

A really bright flashlight would be useful in "shooing" drones away... If the pilot is flying over to snoop, he's not going want to stay if there is blinding light shinning into the camera.

How strange.... I just watched Ender's Game this weekend.......

I was all set to pull the trigger with Amazon and sign up for the $60/ unlimited. Lots of family pictures and videos that would now be accessable to my family all over the world.. But then I thought..... won't Google adjust it's pricing?

Hello Alan, I remember you having a VW Bug with Aerobie plates. I saw it frequently at Los Altos High school when you would come out and throw. Do you still have it? What ever became of it?

Yes, but that can be defeated as well. Remember Iran capturing a US drone a few years ago? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93U.S._RQ-170_incident Gee, technology foiled by other technology? who knew?

more appropriate considering the crash. http://youtu.be/i5zn-mF2-_8
