Wow, now there are things in there I wish I didn't know. I'm curious who this was really aimed at.

How about we send a "surge" of 30,000 aid workers? Or does that only work if we are declaring war on people?

Wow HTML5 is powerful. I hope Firefox 3.6 will get more of it? I can see us telling children "back in our day you had to use 100k of javascript to do what you're doing in one line …

Darn it, now I am hungry for pancakes after reading that, lol. And I don't have any of the ingredients around - see how handy his product would be?!

That 1st hour and middle hour or two are perfectly safe. Apparently only the last hour is unsafe on a plane. Seriously, stop flying people. They have you because you give yourself …

Just use 8-bit transparency in your PNGs and it will work fine. Much easier, no extra code needed and makes smaller images as a plus. There are many palette reduce utilities availa…

If there is prosecution for bad designers, the people who used off-the-shelf unencrypted solutions for a military device in the 21st century should be put in prison. They just cost…

I can't help but see the pacman problem as a relational database ;-) SELECT location FROM tiles ORDER BY scent DESC LIMIT 1 (then apply algorithm to move to that location) Replace …

It's not a spaceship, it's a very high flying plane that goes 65 miles up. The shuttle orbits at a minimum of 140 miles, the space station is at 250 miles. Earth's atmosphere exten…

Hasn't the Archos9 existed already at that price point? http://www.archos.com/products/nb/archos_9/ Possibly with more features? Or is it vaporware?

It only puts out half an amp which is not enough for all devices (should do a full 1 amp). Also, I buy A/C -> USB adapters for less than $1 off ebay. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U…

If they had any sense of humor it would have been 99. But then again it's the Pentagon.

Where is the $50k family sedan they promised? Now that would be a game changer, the Roadster is just a playtoy.

Maybe we can spend the trillions from fighter jets and pilot training on health care? The war machine expenditure in the USA is more than EVERY OTHER country on earth COMBINED (and…

Unless I am missing something, they contradicted themselves. The graph shows that the recession IS affecting everyone in all the groups equally. They are all a few percentage highe…

This is fantastic. However can you even imagine a "too many bikes" problem in the USA? My town has many bike lanes but bikes have disappeared from even the college campus at an ala…

So given this acknowledgment, when will there be a formal protest by governments to Japan to stop their dolphin slaughters? Shouldn't killing dolphins be an international crime?

They are crazy to try to buy it back now, unless it's just a ploy to milk more money out of the original sale. There are a bunch of lower cost DIY voip services and Google Voice co…

I'm sorry, this is very wrong to do. If you think it's a pest, kill it without making it suffer but don't make any living thing your plaything while you kill it. This is the sign o…

Shouldn't the title of their article more accurately be: What Google will MAKE the Web Look Like in 5 Years (seriously, who's going to change any path they decide to take?!)

You know what I worry about, war becoming too "easy". Drones, robots, etc. with little or no human toll to pay.
