I have a wild and semi-unprovable theory that whenever you feel fear in a life-threatening situation, you are in fact feeling the simultaneous multiple-universe death of your other selves who don't survive the life-threatening situation --

I don't notice any egregious problems on my HTC Incredible. Or, any scrolling problems at all actually.

I went to Best Buy looking for a DVI <-> HDMI cable once. They wanted 40 dollars. I got it on Amazon for 7.95. And they wonder why their stock recently took a big hit...

If by 'baked in assumption' you mean 'documented scientific research' then I think we'll just have to agree to disagree.

That link and everything associated with it is exactly why I don't give him a chance just because he's Orson Scott Card.

I have a friend who apparently never learned to make the 'th' sound, and just replaces it with the 'd' sound or at the end of words with the 'tch' sound. He runs his own business and does moderately well for himself, but I tend to find that

Bloggers did an end-run around Big Media to break the ideological stranglehold of the left. I was willing to give him a chance since it's the WSJ, but he just had to throw something like that in there.

If you have friends who have HIV/AIDS, you'll be more appreciative of the dramatic flair.

I've never seen a hitchhiker while driving, but maybe that's because I live in the middle of Pittsburgh.

I'm not sure this even matters. Gawker accounts are for commenting on inane media stories. If people used the same password for their email, that's one thing, but I wouldn't be surprised if most had a harder password for their email, and r

My pet theory is that the mind has never been in the brain, in the same way that computers are only as useful as the software they run, software which originates outside the computer. Language itself is the home of sentience, and people are

Can we please nix this print version linking?

Is this gawker.com only? I have accounts on related sites like kotaku and jezebel, but I don't see any of them in that list.

Can anyone verify this or is it one of those myths?

That's a terrible reason not to use FF -- all you have to do is middle click anywhere on a tab.

Half the article seemed to be about external monitors and hard drives... uh, hello! This is not supposed to replace your desktop people!

What they're doing is both simultaneously petty and upstanding. The idea that they shouldn't do it because a vendor might not make payroll, because a sysadmin can't handle a DDoS attack on a major credit card system is absurd. Armored car

It's Visa and Mastercard's responsibility to make sure their system is secure, that's what vendors pay them for.

Then I think we're in agreement -- I wasn't trying to say that there was anything particularly special about this one, just that we're in one.

Of course it's just history, but you can't deny that there are points of inflection with regards to certain aspects, rather than interminable gradual change.

Anon isn't doing anything to hurt the people who work for those companies. Those people are paid to handle exactly these kinds of attacks, so if anything Anon is just making sure they're actually earning their paycheck. The fact that there

While I agree 100% with the premise (arguing over definitions is dumb), that article gave me a headache. Get to the damn point already.

It's irrelevant. Monopoly of force is claimed through the threat and/or use of force itself.

History in the awesome bar is pretty sweet. There's a bunch of sites that I've been too lazy to bookmark just because I can type one or two letters into the bar and go right to it (and no they're not porn, just normal webpages).
