I pity those in this thread saying that their fiancee wouldn't listen to reason about this. Karma be damned but women as a whole are swayed more by marketing then men are. They've been sold the princess wedding, the diamond ring, the bra

Effectiveness? Like click-through rate? It's irrelevant in this model, really. The popunder loads the page that loads all of the other ad-clicking domain pages, and since it's a popunder it's probably not noticed until the browser has loa

Sadly the Supreme Court has been a bit to pro-government to my tastes lately. I'd have to disagree. We've seen GPS tracking thrown out and other curbs on invasions of privacy. This court seems very interested in broadly defining privacy

I'm glad I'm not the only one who instantly thought of Futurama. This does seem like a food product for people who are too lazy to make even a simple meal and clean afterwards.

There's an apparent pressure from publishers to create always-online games Maybe for something like Diablo 3 but there's a level of solo play that defines a game like Sim City.

what other outcome could be expected? Are you implying that all plans by committee are doomed to failure? :)

On Earth, it's fine. Communicating with elements outside of Earth, the speed of light is way too slow. Talking with Mars is anywhere from 3 minutes to a 22 minute delay[1]. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to control a rover or talk with M

Is there really a plan, though? I mean the 'Eagle Plan' seems much more viable than the 'Fellowship Plan'. The fellowship was so bad it even included a couple humans who were pre-disposed to the rings affects and, as such, didn't last too

You could also watch a Youtube[1] video explaining (near the end) what happens when field conditions change - fog, mud, etc. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh9af_gXxlM

By 'green-screen' I meant that they take a small snapshot of the field and use those colors as a replacement. A scan before the game would do them very little good, especially in open-air stadiums where game conditions can change immediate

The NFL strictly uses positional cameras. The first down markers, ads, and other on-field graphics are only available from specific views. It's actually a very low-tech approach. College and NFL football typically has 3 to 4 stationed cam

Facebook is the World of Warcraft of social networks. - Previous competitors were big, but only about 10% of what they've become. - They struck a nerve somewhere and didn't fill just a niche, they fulfilled what everyone wanted at the same

Well, people want what they want. And with dogs there's a ton of variation so getting what you want - right now - is more important to some people. With cats, not so much. Most people want kittens, which there are always plenty of at th

WTH not? It was pretty outrageous. I'd be interested to hear your argument that he deserved even 6 months in prison for copyright violation. Outrageous to whom? You? I feel the punishment doesn't fit the crime, however, that's the punish

You can pick and choose any number of 'wrongful' or 'unjust' litigation. There's a ton. HSBC is irrelevant to Swartz. It's obvious that not every legal action is socially desirable (or "moral", for the sake of brevity) and not every ille

"The law" isn't some monolith, though -- it's defined by every institution (every person?) enforcing it, and every decision made in carrying out "justice". There are laws which may or may not be levied against us in certain situations. Y

I get what both are saying but from a pragamtic, unemotional side I think Atwood is right. Atwood's simple premise is that if you are going to be an activist, you better realize that those in power are going to throw everything at you so y

Agreed, I think IoC is dramatically overrated along with AoP. There are places it can be useful but it can get so complicated so quickly it actually hinders the upkeep of the application.

Campari - absolutely. They are linked on a vine and as long as you don't detach the vine they will last a fair amount of time. They are fine straight from the store but they get better if given a couple days.

Interesting. I find non-heirloom tomatoes taste great as long as they are fresh. This means I can rarely get good tomatoes and only in the summer and early fall. My dad's garden and farmer's markets are the best, Costco tomatoes are a di

I think you are slightly confused as to what the other commenters are saying. You are assuming that they are saying that working with cars is irrelevant and that's not the case. I think we can all understand that outside experiences can a

They've shown a few of these videos on Tosh.0. Guys pulling over hopping out of their vehicles, each sizing up the others weapons, and then backing down[1]. Amusing, but frightening at the same time. [1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s

bdsm-style desires appear to be more common than is commonly depicted in the media. It has become only less taboo to talk about recently, coming to the mainstream in books like "Fifty Shades of Grey".

But filing a state return with $0 on it is pretty straight forward thing these days with efiling. It's stupid to have to do that. They shouldn't be estimating your income, they know exactly how much you make from your W-2s, 1099s, etc.

After that I lost track because millennials don't seem to know how to rock out. They just don't understand, man. But seriously, millennials are all about 'the party'. They were really young during the roaring late 90's and weren't burden

...but most of Barks’ comics about the Disney ducks centered on Donald, a character the DuckTales writers couldn’t use for reasons both corporate (Disney didn’t want to overexpose such a key character on an afternoon series) and practical.
