    Based on all the images on the product page, can SOMEONE please tell what which side is the front of this car? The side with the AWS logo looks most car like, but the logo makes it…

    We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of 'Satoshi Nakamoto' for the week. But all the decision of that Satoshi have to be ratified at a special…

    so cool, just one annoying thing, the clip used for saying "Obama" has "the" at the beginning, it just doesn't sound quite right. http://talkobamato.me/synthesize.py?speech_key=ec6…

    They can't stream to mobile, and CBS already has apps on all the set top boxes they can stream too. So twitter can stream to browsers? What exactly did twitter buy here? edit fixed…

    This is not to say the earthquakes are not a problem, they are. Just don't assume that this data maps to school damage see so far.

    The problem with this type of wealth redistribution is that the poor are often consumers of the same products and services served by min wage jobs. This is one of many reasons I su…

    If this blast of gamma rays didn't give us scientist with superpowers, I'm going to start to think comic books aren't true.

    This "out vs in" comparison in order to determine who pays is a meme that won't die. I've never known agreements to be formed in such a way. Maybe before my day in the dial up era …

    My understanding is this. No Money exchanges hands between Level3 and Comcast, but there is an agreement for Comcast to provide a port for Level3 to connect to. Level3 brings the t…
