I'm not an expert by any stretch and know virtually nothing about firearms, but I was able to decipher "fps" (feet per second), and 40gr (a 40-grain bullet). As for the other jargon, .22lr and .22WMR are pretty obviously types of weapons an

I agree with yummyfajitas' take. My rebuttals to some of the other comments in this thread so far: 1. It's not "harsh" to mark anything as spam in your email; the only person it affects is you. The sender will not, of course, even know whet

I taught Singers' Diction in grad school for several years. Technically, "fire" contains a triphthong, three vowels in a row, and is thus one syllable. In International Phonetic Alphabet, it's [a] then [I] then a schwa, which I can't type i

What are the "proper" sources?

I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't get any science out of this. If you're going to send cheese to space, you should hire some food writers to eat it, compare it to non-space cheese, see if there were any salutary effects, etc.

Can we seize control of all remaining Bush appointees in influential positions, too? I'm deeply concerned about severe economic consequences, if we don't.

Ever since W started tacking "Homeland" onto everything he could find, the presence of that word on ANYTHING has been a guarantee that that thing a) sucks, b) is unnecessary, and c) is a grave threat to civil liberties. Thanks for the usefu

The machines are, however, extremely effective at making money for Michael Chertoff. Which is their intended function.

I interviewed for Apple earlier this month. I didn't get the position, but I really enjoyed the challenging interview process and meeting the 7 people who interviewed me. I had a phone interview with a manager, and then a three-hour process

Glad someone else actually bothered to notice ANY of the relevant facts. RIM quite obviously did not address the factual allegation that Apple made. They just blustered a lot. That's telling.

This is the clumsiest attempt at a debunking that I've seen in a long time. The guy can't even design a webpage that is readable, let alone prove his point. It's also hilarious to assert that Apple needs to do this to sell the iPad. It sell

If nothing else, this is the most creative waste of three pages in an attempt to bash Apple that I've seen lately. And it's very little else. The whole section on "flow" reads like an excuse-digression to distract from the real goal of the

Weak post; gets all its major facts wrong, such as claiming Apple never used a reservation system before (false), never had pre-ordering issues before (false), etc.

Actually, what Apple said was (as others have sagely pointed out), 100ppi was the best compromise given 2004 technology. Can we cut out the silly Apple-bashing on here, please? There are plenty of intelligent criticisms to be made.

Even BP is no longer claiming 5,000/day, which was apparently farcical from the start. The analysis by the Purdue scientist (cited on Wiki) says 95,000/day, latest figure.
